The Labrador compilation Labrador 100 is officially out today. It's a compilation of their finest moments over the past 10 years and includes one track each from the 100 releases so far. It's an essential release for any fan of Swedish and/or indie pop music. You can buy it here . Labrador are pretty generous when it comes to giving away free mp3's and you could make up your own four CDR set from the mp3's and windows media files they have available for downloading. Acid House Kings - Sunday [...]

Labrador , nuestro sello sueco favorito, que nos ha descubierto a grupos y artistas excelentes como Acid House Kings, Pelle Carlberg, The Legends, Sambassadeur, The Radio Dept o Suburban Kids with Biblical Names, entre otros muchos, celebra sus diez años de historia y su referencia número 100 con la edición de un álbum con cien canciones, una por cada disco publicado. Labrador 100, A Complete History Of Popular Music es una caja de cuatro CDs a un precio bastante interesante y dada su trayectoria (ejemplar) en estos años, los mp3 gratuitos tampoco podían faltar en esta ocasión tan [...]
Das Label Labrador feiert seinen zehnten Geburtstag und sein hundertstes Release mit einer exklusiven CD Box und stellt von jeder CD ein Lied gratis zur Verfügung. Zugreifen: Club 8 - Everlasting Love
Some more good news in addition to yesterday's posting about Swedish label Labrador . The tracklist for the 4CD-Box can be downloaded here as a PDF-File. It really is a great compilation, and I think everyone who loves new Scandinavian pop-music should own this thing! Labrador is also offering four exclusive tracks from the sampler: Sambassadeur - Ice And [...]
Indie label Labrador must be one of the best Swedish places on the internet. Not only do they have a sixth sense for picking up one great artist after another, they also have a large section of free MP3s to "taste" all those bands. They were among the first who realized that the Internet has a big influence in today's music lover's habits, and quite a few have followed their example. And that's a good thing really! So I've learned today that the label [...]
Didn't I Do This Already? I get it now; I was supposed to explain myself... Now that I have seen how everyone else does it, I am going to give it another go. Is that kosher? Or am I breaking all the blogger rules? If so, then I guess stop reading and banish me from your bookmarks now, because I am going for it. I'm also this time putting up some songs to go with, mostly the obscurer. If you are still reading, here are my favorite albums [...]
Stream the new (and pretty good) single Oceanic by Danish alternative rock band Mavis over at Myspace . Unfortunately it's not available for download! The dudes over at emodreng og indiepige have started listening to Kind of girl . I told you that they have a fine taste in music! A track by She Wants Revenge called Black Liner Run is available for free [...]
Morten has a very good posting about Last.FM 's weekly free download charts. I completely agree to what he has to say about it, and I also think that it's a very good thing. So to increase the popularity of that chart list, I'm gonna spread the word about it as well. Visit the site, download what you like and give the bands a thumbs-up for offering their songs to us for free. Let your favourites climb up the charts! http://www.last.fm/charts/free / [...]
I came across the Swedish band Sambassadeur a year or two ago while exploring the Labrador Records website. I listen to them a lot and have been looking forward to posting them since beginning the blog two weeks ago. Sambassadeur won’t be new to many European visitors, but I want to make sure all who come here have the chance to hear and enjoy their music. Three other of their songs are posted at their MySpace site, although they are not currently downloadable. [...]
In this post I'll re-post some of the songs I've mentioned before in the blog or simply some of the stuff I've found that I find interesting, but have no time to write about. None of the songs are hosted by Myspace, which quickly is turning into a crappy service! IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED IF YOU'D CHECK OUT THE REST OF THIS BLOG, ONCE YOU'VE DOWNLOADED THE SONGS YOU WANT..... + Aberdeen City - God Is Going To Get Sick Of Me + [...]
Yep, that's him on the left: Jacques Prévert . You can easily see why Serge Gainsbourg liked this fellow: he's seldomly pictured without a cigarette. Prévert (1900-1977) was a poet, screenwriter, surrealist and theater-enthousiast, probably his best known poem is Les Feuilles M ortes. Set to music by Joseph Kosma in 1945, the song was translated four years later by Johnny Mercer. As Autumn Leaves , the chanson became a standard and has been covered many, many times (ranging from Juliette Gréco to Coldcut), but contrary to popular belief, Yves Montand wasn't the first to [...]
Goteborg, Sweden The latest from Sambassadeur is a nice little EP entitled Coastal Affairs . It's out now on Labrador and you'll enjoy this band if you like other great Swedish bands like Acid House Kings . "Think Nothing Of It" Sambassadeur on MySpace
Sambassadeur Références musicales : Cardigans, Hefner Sambassadeur - Kate (mp3) Sambassadeur - New Moon (mp3) Sambassadeur - Between the lines (mp3) [This is a summer post : In July and August, I stop to write a post a day. But there will be some posts though. Some very shorts ones. The reason : [...]
I make mix CDs for the video store I where I occasionally work and the most recent one was all Swedish bands. It kicked off with "Kate," the winsome new single by Sambassadeur (the lead track from their new EP, Coastal Affairs ) which I downloaded off the Labrador Records website . While it was playing, my coworker Darlene asked me who it was, saying it's used in a new Payless Shoes commercial. How the hell does this happen? Sambassadeur isn't even signed in America. There is [...]
Pas de photo de Casiotone for the painfully alone. Pourquoi? Inexistantes sur son MySpace , il n'y avait que dessins dont ce walkman. Par contre beaucoup de photos sur le site officiel , mais Java ne me permets pas de les emprunter... Il y a deux jours que j'ai découvert le titre "Nashville Parthenon" et je l'ai déjà écouté un nombre incroyable de fois. L'album " Etiquette " vient de sortir. Casiotone or the painfully alone - Nashville Parthenon [...]
Zooey Deschanel Anyone named after a JD Salinger novel has to be cool, and with eyes that look like they have been lavishly animated on it's no wonder her next project has her cast as Lani the penguin lifeguard in the forthcoming Sony CGI release 'Surf's Up' An unconventional indie beauty, plus she was Trillan, and she plays the piano and the ukulele… "Ukulele me-kulele/How happy we could be-kulele!" - Stephin Merritt [...]
