Picture Credit As we near our blog's fourth anniversary, we've noticed literally hundreds of songs we've queued up but still haven't posted. (Some reach back a year or more.) We won't go into the boring reasons why this has happened, but over the next couple of weeks we're going to try to play a little catch-up. By now you've probably found a lot of these elsewhere, but we'll post them anyway.
Volvemos a referirnos a Sad Day For Puppets, los suecos que se han convertido en unos habituales del blog desde que los conociéramos a principios del año 2008. Tras un precioso Ep y un álbum de debut que no le iba a la zaga, acaban de publicar su segundo trabajo de larga duración, "Pale Silver and Shiny Gold", un disco que nos muestra un grupo que ha ganado cierto grado de madurez, con temas que combinan a la perfección dulzura y energía. Así nos vamos a encontrar principalmente con canciones muy [...]
Blackebergskvintetten Sad Day For Puppets andra fullängdare är rätt briljant i all sin anspråkslöshet, det ska sägas direkt . Pale Silver & Shiny Gold är 37 minuter kompetent svensk powerpop, med en genomgående råare känsla än debuten Unknown Colors . Inledande Sorrow, sorrow är en magnifik poplåt, Touch är värd en framtid som P3-hit och gitarrerna på Fuzzy Feather hade ett ungt Teenage Fanclub inte skämts för. Det känns, när det är som bäst, extremt mycket 90-tal. Ibland ekar det nästan shoegaze. Att bandet hyllats i brittisk musikpress kommer inte alls som en överraskning, det här är [...]
Zombies eh? Back in the early days of Romero's black and white flicks they ambled about, bumped into shit and got confused by a fence. Admittedly they were pretty eerie, but if you were fleet of foot and didn't back yourself into a corner your chances of survival were pretty high. But then something happened and the buggers started to run, and I mean really run. Pelting around like Ben Johnson after the stanozolol van, certainly much faster than you or I can fumble ammunition into a rusty old revolver. A similar transformation appears to have taken place to Sweden's [...]

Sad Day For Puppets , "Monster & The Beast" If you read this blog back in 2008, you might remember that one of my favorite discoveries of that year was Sad Day For Puppets . The Swedish quintet reminded me about everything I used to love about 902s dream pop and shoegaze, yet managed to do it in a way that seemed fresh and new. Sadly, the band's excellent Unknown Colors LP went largely ignored here in the U.S., although the band did manage to gain one [...]
Sad Day For Puppets have announced they will release their second album, 'Pale Silver & Shiny Gold', via Sonic Cathedral Recordings on September 6.
Monster & The Beast is a new (though not brand new as claimed in the mail) track by Sad Day for Puppets taken from the band's second album Pale Silver & Shiny Gold , which will be out on September 1 . Somewhat noisy, really catchy, featuring a flute and with a female vocalist sounding like...?...someone please help me out on that one! + Monster & The Beast Daybehavior shares this track taken [...]

Con cinco trabajos discográficos en su haber, no se puede decir que Sad Day For Puppets sea una banda en surgimiento. Estos suecos nos pusieron a bailar a mitad del año pasado con la espectacular "Marble Gods" y definitivamente quedamos a la espera de más. Ahora regresan con un 73 editado por Cloudberry Records que incluye una versión alterna de "When You Tell Me That You Love Me" y la nueva canción que les traemos hoy, "Again". Ciertamente se sigue palpando esa influencia Indie Pop en su música [...]

Today's free MP3 is Swedish indiepop on the Cloudberry Label from Sad Day For Puppets and Again
photo from Consumer Reports I can't remember a previous January where there has been this much new music coming out, but I'm old and my synapses don't connect they way the use to. I do remember maybe a few releases trickling out at the end of January and then not much happening until March or April. Well, it's a new decade and we've hit the ground running, out with the old, etc. The last few weeks have been total pop overload, and to give you an idea of the crazy amounts of good [...]
I fucking hate the stupid firewall at work.

World Atlas Good morning! While doing my daily MySpace check-in this morning before class I decided to see what World Atlas , whom I've mentioned a couple times in the past, were up to these days. To my extreme delight, it turns out they're up to a lot! They have apparently got a record to be released by Magic Marker at some point — hopefully soon! The more immediate and exciting news however, is that they will be playing the NYC Popfest this year!!! with a string section!!! I couldn't say yay enough to times [...]
