It's always a nice bonus when a good album also benefits a good cause. Ready for the Sunshine is a charity compilation CD featuring fifteen indie bands from various countries - including Sambassadeur, Au Revoir Simone, Matt Pond PA, Taken by Trees, Jens Lekman, Camera Obscura and The Submarines. All of the album's proceeds will [...]]]> text/html 2011-07-18T12:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3584491/stockholm-belongs-to-us-sumargjf-fr-labrador/

"Stockholm Belongs To Us - A Labrador Records compilation picks up where the 4CD anniversary release "Labrador 100 - A History of Popular Music" left off. On "Labrador 1003 it was exactly one song from each release - this time we've allowed ourselves to deviate a bit from the concept. 22 tracks from almost as many releases from the year 2008 to 20113. A free 22 track insight into the wonderful world of Labrador, all yours for the time it takes to magically download.

The wifes out, the kids are watching TV, Im having a beer and enjoying that for once the computer is mineaaaaall mine! Really tired tonight, but having a few things Id like to post and share, so sleep is put on hold! Boxstr.net still isn't working. Will be quite interesting if they have the nerve to keep charging their monthly fee, but "at least" their support hasn't replied to any of my emails.

Toronto - Sweden's Acid House Kings are back after a five year hiatus with a new single - called Are We Lovers or Are We Friends . In case you are wondering, Acid House Kings are Swee band featuring brothers Johan and Niklas Angergrd and Niklas sister-in-law Julia Lannerheim. Johan is also a member of Club 8 . Both bands are on the Labrador record label, which seems to have a factory that spits out quality Swee bands sing also Swee tunes.

The Phil Spector -penned / Ronettes -performed Be My Baby intro is probably the most iconic drum beat in pop music historyand we here at Music For Kids Who Can't Read Good can't get enough of that classic "Boom! Boom boom, cha!". This spring I posted two mixes with about 40 songs worth of "Be My Baby" drum beats and since then I've been hearing it everywhere (twee-poppers and lo-fi bands like Waaves and Best Coast seem to have a particular affinity for the beat). For version 3.0 of this mix, I've [...]]]> text/html 2010-08-23T21:35:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2772187/2010-releases-we-almost-missed-vol-xi-the-polyamorous-affair/
With the new music coming in from all directions non-stop all year long, we miss great new releases when they come out for one reason or another.

I recently asked , What are you in the mood for? Well, I've answered my own question by deciding I'm in the mood to make a mix tape. A mix of the best-of-2010-so-far. I hope you enjoy it.

Kjeli B Persson While it's factually correct for Sambassadeur to have named their latest album European , it's also a bit redundant. For from the moment album opener "Stranded"'s power ballad piano intro segues into the sprightly orchestrally-inclined power pop verse, there's no questioning what side of the Atlantic this record was crafted on. Or even which country. There is something about Sambassadeur that is so very Swedish, beyond the obvious reference point of singer Anna Persson's accent and precise, ever-so-slightly forlorn delivery.
