mp3: The Sugarcubes - - - - Birthday dear rob- so i was trying to find a song about having a birthday sometime near christmas, and there are actually quite a few... the problem is that they all suck. bad. every version of "christmas birthday" that i found made me want to die. instead, i think i will just post a good birthday song. sorry to break the christmas streak, but it just wouldn't be worth it to post one of those other songs. also, i'm sending you a birthday lunch [...]
Fans of the site might not to be too aware but I've always been a huge fan of Bjork -- that sexy little muffin of an Icelandic pop sensation turned vocal breakout solo artist. While I find her music to be a little too off-the-deep-end lately, it was always phenomenal and magnetic to me before that... My ears definitely perked up when I heard that she was coming out of hiding to play the Sugarcubes 20th Anniversary Show in Iceland a few weeks back... Here are a [...]
The Sugarcubes were the biggest group ever to emerge from Iceland and tonight they reunite in Laugardalshöll in Reykjavík. So right now it would have been apropriate and maybe even cool to post the 20 minute long talk I had with former groupmember Einar Örn - an interview I did at the Iceland Airwaves in october. But for some strange reason I've the password for my ftp-server. I'll post the mp3-interview in the weekend. It's unique and kind of chaotic! Sugarcubes or Sykurmolarnir, as they are called in Iceland, had their debut [...]
...D ia 03/Outubro 'Colin Meloy' e sua turma lança mais um álbum. O novo do 'Decemberists' chama-se 'The Crane Wife' e é baseado num conto trágico japonês. São 10 canções de umas 20 que o grupo havia gravado. Confesso que o trabalho me chamou mais atenção e gostei da investida prog na longa faixa de 12 minutos 'The Island' com um clima bem 'Jethro Tull' . Mas a batida Pop, os violões e a voz nasalada de 'Colin' , continuam presente em todo o [...]

It's twenty years - yes, twenty bloody years - since The Sugarcubes released Birthday. Twenty years, remember, in which The Knack managed to never hear the It's Tricky by Run DMC. To celebrate the anniversary, the band are getting back together for a secret one-off reunion gig in Reykjavik this November. It's going to help out Icelandic musicians who've fallen on hard times. No, we don't mean Einar: "All profit from the concert goes back into Smekkleysa SM, who continue to work on a non-profit basis for the future betterment of Icelandic [...]
Once upon a time there was a great band from an island in the north of the Atlantic. The singer went solo and made a lot of crap albums. Nearly 20 years ago The Sugarcubes put out on their own label Smekkleysa SM, their first single Birthday . This release was the start to the splendid career of The Sugarcubes, and impressive releases of Icelandic artists in Iceland and abroad alike. These first steps made by The Sugarcubes have made and everlasting impact and influence on the Icelandic export of music. It [...]
Interesting news coming out of Iceland this week... Icelandic rock act the Sugarcubes will take the stage for the first time in 14 years Nov. 17 in Reykjavik. The group, whose most famous alumnus is Bjork, is reassembling to celebrate the 20th anniversary of its debut single, "Birthday." [ Billboard ] (via) Enjoy my favorite Sugarcubes tune. Classic (and sultry) Bjork. Gotta love it. Sugarcubes - Motorcrash [mp3]
Pete Townshend - We Won't Get Fooled Again (Live) This is the B-side to 'Face The Face' a relatively boring Pete Townshend solo track. What's really cool is that this live version features David Gilmour on guitars, making this his second guest appearance at The Lost Turntable in one week. Flock Of Seagulls - I Ran (Live) The band with the best hair of all time - that's all I gotta say. The Sugarcubes - Motorcrash (Live) I wonder what happened to that annoying [...]
I've had a lovely weekend "chillaxin" with friends & really doing a whole lot of nothing in particular, but it's exactly what I needed.

It's the best dance party in the BK -- DJBJ & I spin the ass shakers & you shake your ass! Always a good time, cheep drink specials, a dance floor & it's FREE! [...]
