Given my total absence from this blog over the past three weeks, I don't suppose it'll be any surprise to hear that I didn't have time to contribute to this month's MAP either. So for the second month in a row, my England contribution comes ghostwritten by MAP organiser Jason ...

Ha llegado un nuevo volumen del mix-tape global , 35 países, 35 blogs y 35 canciones, el radar más grande de la mejor de 35 países. Mi historia con Rafo De La Cuba empezó con una recomendación, una que quizá tardé en asimilar, ya que lo que se encuentra en la red sobre este genial compositor es algo escaso, aunque no difícil de encontrar cuando sientes que luego de escuchar algunos samples en su MySpace el vicio es inevitable. No hay estilo definido en su música, es simplemente el tocar por gusto, sin [...]
This month's whothehell.net's entry for the MAP has been selected by Matt Hickey ARGENTINA : Zonaindie Eloisa Lopez - Espiral This is one of Zonaindie's favorite tracks from 2009. It was taken from Eloisa's third album, Por Un Paisaje. Maybe we like her so much because she manages to elegantly combine acoustic textures with native South American percussions and digital sounds. Espiral is a great [...]
Once more, here is this first MAP of the new decade, January's edition of the Music Alliance Pact . For those of you who don't know about MAP, it's a collection of music blogs from around the world who band together once a month to shed light on up-and-comers from their home countries. It's sort of like the WTO without the human rights violations. After the jump you'll find music from 35 nations spanning the globe. If you'd like to be considered for this feature, drop by the comments section with a [...]
The Music Alliance Pact is a collective of 35 of the world's top music blogs and webzines from 35 countries spanning six continents. Every month, each of these 35 sites picks one hot local song that gets posted on all these great blogs and zines. This month we picked Mumbai singer-songwriter Noush Like Sploosh 's '3 Act Circus' as the Indian representative on this massive international indie mixtape. The song is featured on Stupid Stupid Stupid and is a pretty good measure of the work of one of our [...]
It's the 15th of February, Music Alliance pact day!

All presentations are put together in this huge blogpost, and presented on the same day in all the MAP blogs. Massive promotion for the bands! Today, MAP is presented with an interview in the UK newspaper the Guardian. It should be online on their website today. My favourites this time includes Norway (of course), Argentina, Australia (wonderful [...]

Some people do their good worldly deeds by tirelessly seeking out the truth among the lies, or by turning their carbon footprint into a tiptoe, or making asylum seekers feel welcome. As much as The Pop Cop aspires to make a difference, to be something better, for now you'll just have to content yourself with the Music Alliance Pact, which takes you on a 35-stop journey through seven continents on the 15th of every month, bringing music from the untapped reaches of Estonia to the beach fronts of Copacabana and the back alleys of Beijing. [...]
Apesar de Jasmin Jones viver agora em Portugal, grande parte da sua vida foi passada bem longe. Ela nasceu na Austrália mas já viveu na Nova Zelândia e nas Ilhas Salomão e, talvez por isso, o seu projecto a solo tenha tanto a ver com aquilo que ama: a natureza, o mar, a praia, o surf.Numa primeira audição, o que me impressionou foram as qualidades na composição e interpretação de Jasmin, apesar

Kumm nu mai e un secret pentru nimeni din Romania. Faptul ca nu a ajuns pana acum sa obtina notorietatea media pe care o merita se datoreaza faptului ca acest gen de notorietate e inca dependent de televiziune si suntem inca un popor de clubberi, manelisti si metalari. Publicul Kumm vechi e unul alternativ; cel nou, e unul extrem de tanar, de la adolescentii indie la hipsterii pentru care Kumm de acum 10 ani era ceva mult prea complex pentru a fi integrat unei mode. Kumm - [...]
it's always been a great thrill introducing the finest local talents to an international audience through MAP . this month, we're especially excited to be attacking your ears with the ferocious sounds of stellarium , as handpicked by our local music ambassador brian koh . even as we speak, their recently released self titled album is generating interest among shoegazers abroad, with one listener describing it as "what [a place for burying strangers' latest album] exploding head should have been". heads up everyone - this is one Singaporean act you shouldn't miss.

Staphan O'Bell has released three new songs that can be downloaded via my new favorite digital service - Bandcamp. The songs are great examples of romantic swirling pop a la Rufus Wainwright. "On The Rooftop" is the song that struck me right off the bat. If this song is any indication than the forthcoming album from Staphan will be one to keep an eye out for. On The Rooftop
It's very easy to listen to Staphan O'Bell. It's basic and airy and trips along in a happy way, like a calmer Aberfeldy . It seems impossible that Staphan would be able to perform a song in a heavyhearted way. The light pop melodies are headed by Staphan's smooth, relaxed voice, where the falsetto tones often appears in the refrains. Clearly I feel lighter after listening to Staphan O'Bell. Try for yourself after listening to the three tracks below. If you recognise Staphan's voice from before, then you may have listened to Dakkfoai or [...]
Un week-end tout en soleil.Trop parfait pour être vrais,pour l'occasion j'ai ressortis le schweppes et la terrasses des cartons triplement scotché d'un hiver bien trop long,instant détente.Songe printanier,jolie fleur,j'espère ne pas oublier l'odeur. Je commence avec Sally Shapiro.Si vous voulez des blondes suédoise qui souffle des fleurs de plaisir faut se rendre au rayon Kirsten un peu plus bas.Elle elle se contente de chanter,disco revival,c'est rigolo.Bref,je dois vous précisez que c'est pas moi qui ai enterré la jeune suédoise prés de l'autoroute.Je me contente de séquestrer Ali dans ma cave tout [...]
The other day I received a mail with the contents " thought I'd recommend something, instead of J.A. ", so it certainly seems like out Spanish friend has build himself quite a reputation! Deservedly so, I should add. In the mail were links for a few songs by Swedish indie pop artist/singer-/songwriter Staphan O'Bell , which turned out to be really likeable ones, sounding pretty much like Bob Dylan on a musical exchange trip to Gothenburg. Does this description make any sense? If [...]
