I am really behind on music, reading rss feeds, and posting to del.icio.us these days. So, for now, all I will say is that there is a new Stars in Coma album coming out tomorrow and that you should buy it and listen to it because it will be awesome. The album is called "You're Still Frozen in Time" and you can get it from Music Is My Girlfriend . Plus, check out the album art: Some songs from the album: Stars in Coma: [...]

Zum Frühlingsbeginn (23 Grad Celsius in Chur!) etwas lockeres aus Schweden. Da komm logischerweise die beste Gute-Laune-Musik her. (more...)
Nach ungefähr 500 EP's und CDR's erscheint jetzt im März das neuen Album von der schwedischen Onemanshow Stars in a Coma. Im Prinzip handelt es sich hierbei um eine Reihe älterer Songs aufgepeppt mit einigen Newbies. Bis dahin vetreibt André Brorsson sich die Zeit mit dem Aufnehmen einer Coverversion eines Songs (My Happiness Day) einer 60er Jahre Combo namens Eternity's Children von der ich allerdings noch nie was gehört habe. Klingt nach Beach Boys und Fleetwood Mac mit einer Menge Sommer und Strand. Voila, hier gibts also einen glücklichen Tag und einzelne Tracks des anstehenden Albums: [...]
Sweden's Stars in Coma has recorded a new song THIS MORNING, and he is so kind to share this with us via his myspace pages. The song is a cover of the 60s sunshine pop band Eternity's Children, and it is called "My Happiness Day" . I had to check the title a couple of times, because there is a song with a similar title on Stars in Coma's upcoming album "You're still frozen in time" , called "My Sunshine Years". Well, not THAT similar, but... Stars in Coma's new album will be [...]
A polaroid for Christmas La mattina del 13 dicembre, le ragazze scandinave indossano vesti candide e una corona di candele accese. L'oscurità della notte di Santa Lucia, che secondo il Calendario Giuliano era la notte più lunga dell'anno, è ormai alle spalle e la luce può ritornare. Ci si scambia doni, si preparano dolci tradizionali, si canta in coro e prende il via il periodo delle festività. Quest'anno anche polaroid ha deciso di entrare subito nello spirito natalizio e di provare a farvi un piccolo regalo. Ho chiamato un [...]
Last night I stumbled on to the Cloudberry Records site and fell into about a four hour dark hole of great music. Cloudberry is based in Miami and is an "indiepop label purveying the sound of jangly guitars." They release EP's and singles only, press only 100 of each CD, and they release singles on a regular schedule each month. Right now, there's over 60 EP's that you can listen to and download some music from. If you're a fan of the "jangle-pop" (loud and soft) sounds of bands like Prefab Sprout, Ride, Eddie [...]
Da gibt es kleines Label im sonnigen Miami, das macht alles ganz anders als alle anderen Label. Da erscheint alle paar Wochen ein schöne auf 100 Ausgaben limitierte 3 Track Single nach der anderen mit richtig netten Bands, und alles läuft richtig relaxed ab. Selbstauskunft des Labels: Cloudberry glaubt an: unrequited love, systems of resistance, sense of community, DIY ethics and international socialism! Wir betreten somit eine Parallelwelt im Musikgeschfäft und die heißt Leidenschaft. Leidenschaft ist nunmal der Motor aller guten Musik. Respekt, Cloudberry. Bitte nichts ändern, ausser daß ich gerne ein Abo auf eure Veröffentlichungen hätte. Hier eine paar [...]

I've gotten way behind in visiting my favorite blogs, but tonight I found a nice cache at several of them. I am posting songs available at band, label, and promo sites, but you can find scores more tasty ones at Eardrums, particularly here, here, here, here, and here.

The Swedish One-Man project Stars in Coma recently released an EP called "Moonshine heights EP" (in june) and a new album is being prepared at the moment. According to the man behind the project, André Brorsson, the album will be called "You're Still Frozen In Time". It will include 13 tracks, where 10 are new recordings of songs he has previously released on cd-r's, and 3 songs will be completely new. The release will be a collaboration between the two labels Music is my girlfriend and Plastilina, - both Eardrums' favorites. Stars in Coma [...]
After two weeks in the rain (how I wish I was writing "sun" instead) I'm back and typing this with (highly unexpected) pale fingers. Everything around here is pretty much as I expected; the mailbox is cluttered, the number of visitors has dropped and all my favorite blogs have posted zillions of new and interesting songs the past few weeks. So it might take some time before I've read my way through all the messages and listened to all the songs, as I do have plenty of work (the boring and unimportant real-life stuff) to take care of as well. [...]

I know I'm mid-summertime mix posting, but I'd be really unhappy with myself if I didn't post about this. Stars in Coma is a guy named Andre who I found the other day looking for a Music is my Girlfriend t-shirt. I've had the chance to listen to him a bit more since then, and I really have to say, this guy is awesome. Most of the time, Stars in Coma sounds a lot like later Belle & Sebastian (more of The Life Pursuit era, but maybe a bit of [...]
I got this idea in my head that I needed a shirt that said "Music is my girlfriend" on it, so I went searching for one. What I found was much better. Music is my girlfriend is a really cute and little record label that has only existed since 2005, but has some really adorable and awesome bands. Some highlights: Annemarie is a sweeter version of the All-Girl Summer Fun Band and a poppier version of the Cocteau Twins. They're from the best city in [...]
It seems fitting that I write about the US label Cloudberry Records this week. Hot on the heels of my post about the cassette-only Italian label, Best Kept Secret, comes this post about a 3 inch cdr-only indie pop label. Peace In Our Time is the solo project of Johan Regner from Uppsala Sweden. I've written about his music on countless occasions ( here or here ). "That Same Old Phrase" is the b-side to the new single, it's a sad little song. More songs available for download at Peace In [...]
. . .noon, afternoon, night, whatever, promises satisfying sonics. The excellent Roque at the excellent Mira el Péndulo has started up a small label called Cloudberry, which is in the process of issuing nine 3-inch cd-r's from a multinational cast of jangleurs. Jangle, fuzz, power chords, Farfisa fun, voices ranging from hebetic to munchkinesque, deeply philosophical lyrics, all the standard
I recently found out about this tiny record label, Cloudberry Records , which only releases 3 inch CD's. I got so excited about the idea of these tiny nuggets of pop that I went ahead and ordered all the releases, which are 9 so far, without even bothering to listen to any of the samples on the website. Somehow I feel like I'm getting a bag full of candy, I don't know exactly what I'm gonna get but it's surely going to be delicious. And the label is run by this guy named Roque, which also contributes [...]
Heute gibt es mal wieder ein paar schöne MP3s für alle Tweepop-Freunde dort draußen. Morten hatte vor einiger Zeit schon mal das schwedische Label Music Is My Girlfriend vorgestellt, das neben dem ausgesprochen sympathischen Namen auch noch mit vielen guten Bands und einer Menge kostenlosen Downloads zu punkten weiß. Verschrieben haben sie sich alle dem zuckersüßen, naiven Gitarrenpop, der manchmal etwas sehr verhuscht daher kommt, aber doch schon mal Lust auf den Vorfrühling macht. Hier ein paar besonders lohnenswerte Acts: Celestial ist ja vielleicht schon dem einen oder anderen ein Begriff. [...]
