When I woke up this morning, I didn't think that it's going to be Just Another Bad Day (Ripchord) at work. But on my way to work, police held me up for a routine check of my motorbike. I was expecting Bad News (Owen), but everything was fine and I could continue my way. As I Walk Into The Fight (Anamia), better known as the office, phones started ringing, people kept moaning, machines started
Stockholm, Sweden Suburban Kids With Biblical Names is the Swedish duo made up of Peter Gunnarson and Johan Hedberg. They put out an EP in both 2004 and 2005, but now they're back with a long-player and signed to the Chicago-based Minty Fresh . Wahoo! "Loop Duplicate My Heart [...]
Oh lordy, I'm tired and kind of bummed out. Too many boring, dull details to get into here -- but hey, we did have fun last night -- especially as everywhere we went had free drinks and scintillating conversation. Quote of the evening? "I'm a Tori Amos fan, I don't fear your abuse," from the e'er quotable Achtung Baby !. (And why is it that we only ever see him at the Beauty Bar anyway?) Clearly the young man who asked us about Ani DiFranco last week cannot take our abuse, and we're still sorry about [...]
Peter Gunnarson & Johan Hedberg are Suburban Kids With Biblical Names Way back in 2005, the boys of Suburban Kids With Biblical Names released their third record (and first full length), aptly titled #3 , on Labrador Records in Sweden. Well, as was reported months back, SKWBN have signed with Minty Fresh in the U.S., who will be rereleasing #3 domestically sometime soon. While I still think #1 holds their strongest tracks to date, #3 is still a pretty [...]
ya lo hicieron a mediados de los noventa y parece que vuelve la segunda horda, ahora a nivel más mainstream. parece que los suecos son muy buenos absorbiendo influencias, imitando y copiando con estilo, asà que todo el mundo tiene su cliché preferido made in ikea . por lo visto esta temporada h&m superará en ventas a top shop en reino unido, porque lo mejor de suecia no para de hacer giras por las islas y están tan de moda que se editan recopilatorios trendy como este y hasta en the guardian [...]
Suburban Kids With Biblical Names have a new home! Not too long ago, I reported that SKWBN signed to Minty Fresh for their US distribution and it's almost time for their album #3 to greet fresh ears! MP3: Suburban Kids With Biblical Names - Rent A Wreck MP3: Suburban Kids With Biblical ...
It's been a wacky couple of days and I'm a little emotionally spent from being deemed the negative center of the blogosphere. Thanks to those that have stuck with MOKB. I really appreciate it. I don't have much planned for today, so I'll just point you to some of the tunes I've been into today and some of the goodness I've found around the web. My team and I built a new website for my
Saturday started for us with a bit of wandering and peacock-spotting, followed by at trip back to the Big Top to check out Metronomy . I liked them. They’re about as well-known for their remixes as their own stuff, but their compositions sound good. Live, they’re bound to get Hot Chip comparisons â€" except it’s only three guys with synths and keyboards, and Hot Chip don’t have a sax player. Or funny t-shirts with a big plastic balls on. Or choreographed jerky guitar movements. Their electro is probably also a bit dirtier and less poppy then their more famous [...]
Hello again. I'm back from my hols refreshed and raring to bring you some more great bands. However, before I get to the new bands I thought you may like to see a half hour programme on the rise and fall of the Smiths the greatest band that ever walked the planet. Tonights post has a Scandinavian flavour and not one mention of ABBA, Lordi or death metal. The first band up are from Finland, a country which, apart from Lordi, has made little impact on the world wide music [...]
Jag länkar ofta till artisters Myspace-sidor då jag tycker att sajten är ett bra sätt att visa upp sin musik om man inte har ett stort skivbolag i ryggen. Jag har till och med en egen Myspace-sida för att lättare hålla koll på vad som händer hos dessa mindre band. Det är ett bra komplement till RSS, då inte många artisthemsidor använder sig av detta. I nuläget kan jag bara komma på Hello Saferide ( RSS ), Suburban Kids With Biblical [...]
Okay, so I'm aware that Summer's beginning to wind down, but I'm not ready to say goodbye just yet. I've created a mix, using the most special of ingredients, known to be very powerful against the threat of fall and it's plans to overtake Summer. Join me in listening to this mix all day long and riding Summer out as long as we can! P.S. It's not all twee, but most of it is, so whatever. You can download the big boy .ZIP file, or if you're into having yourself a buffet, you can download all songs seperately [...]
Erlend Øye So uh, I'm kinda bored. What to do, what to do...oh yeah, I'll give you some songs: Teen Angst - M83 [ indiechristoph. favorite] I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You - Colin Hay The Black Keys Work - Erlend Øye Sleeping With Ghosts - Placebo What Else Is There? (Vitalic Remix) - Röyksopp [...]
Suburban Kids with Biblical Names - Rent a Wreck Suburban Kids with Biblical Names - Loop Duplicate My Heart SWEDES! I was looking up Spinto Band today and found a blog recommending these guys to Spinto fans. (I regret to admit that I totally forgot which blog it was. It was a good one!) Anyway, this band's vocals were correctly described as a bit Magnetic Fields-ish. Give it a listen, they're fun to listen to. Handclaps. MySpace [...]

Opnieuw tien tracks die ons dichter bij die ene plaat brengt, de mooiste van 2004, althans volgens mijn subjectieve mening hè. Vandaag weer tien nummers dus, waaronder weer twee Zweden (o.a. de band met de mooiste naam), wat oude bekenden en twee bands om in de gaten te houden (op resp. nummer 14 en 15). En... morgen rond deze tijd weten we meer! 11. THE WHITE STRIPES - Jolene Ze zijn de laatste jaren niet meer uit de verschillende eindlijstjes weg te slaan en terecht. The White [...]
