Yes, we're posting our Single Song Sunday feature a bit early this week. But infamously bipolar songwriter Daniel Johnston turns 50 today, and I can't think of a better way to honor his impact on the music world than with this collection of covers of his best-known composition. The hope and pain inherent in the brilliantly simple lyric and melody of this piece and many others have touched a nerve in many artists both well-known and obscure since Johnston's first cassette hit the streets in 1981, prompting a multitude of covers, [...]
They Shoot Music (Don't They?) have always been a great source for great impromptu videos and again I found myself receiving the reminder and just being blown away. I thought I would post 3 videos of some of the latest - all great. ~~~ Bonus: Tiny Vipers "Dreamer" (mp3) ~~~ Bonus: "Hands In Pockets" (mp3) ~~~ Bonus: Taxi Taxi [...]
Vi har tilsyneladende fået en dansk pendant til svenske Taxi Taxi!. Tvillingerne Kirsten & Marie er kun 18 år gamle, men har lavet et særdeles charmerende single udspil. Kirsten & Marie — My Dear by TAMBOURHINOCEROS Kirsten & Marie er signet på Oh No Onos pladeselskab Tambourhinoceros, og den selvbetitlede Ep udkommer 10. maj. Det bliver spændende at se om pigerne kan holde niveauet. Mine forventninger er i hvert fald høje!

Efterklang 's new album, Magic Chairs , is approaching fast: February 22nd in Europe and 23rd in North America. The band signed to 4AD Records in September, 2009, marking a major step forward for this Danish act. Rasmus Stolberg and band members manage their Copenhagen-based record label, Rumraket , and have been the Danish home for Grizzly Bear , Taxi Taxi! , Amiina (Sigur Rós' string section) and many others. Efterklang 's earlier work was [...]
On Still Standing At Your Back Door , the debut full-length from nineteen-year-old Swedish twins Taxi Taxi! , sisters Miriam and Johanna Berhan go far out of their way to present themselves as old souls. Yeah, their songwriting relies heavily on teenybopper-isms like puppy love and first heartaches, and you won't ever mistake their squeaky harmonies as originating from some older and wiser female duo, but that's the extent of any connection that could be made to America's same-aged, Disney-backed tween-pop brigade. Instead of cheapened R&B-lite or pop-rock aural assaults, the [...]

Because: 1) it's the holidays 2) I'll be getting a new computer/internet provider soon; which provider I don't know yet, so I've got that to sort out. 3) Baby Fab will be born in month or so; my life will be a little topsy-turvy for a bit, I imagine. Did you know that it was once possible to be a pop star without ha ving to play the guitar? Or with electronic production? You could get a major [...]

Light she was and like a fairy Lunedì mattina di pigro scirocco sopra Bologna, sole pallido, nuvole grigie basse e veloci. Non è facile indovinare subito la colonna sonora per una giornata così. Trovo nella mail questo video delle Taxi Taxi! , giovane duo composto dalle gemelle Miriam e Johanna Eriksson Berhan, da Stoccolma, che avevamo già conosciuto e apprezzato negli anni di Indiepop.it e di Emmaboda. È una cover della classica ballata folk Oh My Darling, Clementine , e se la scelta può [...]

...then it's time to shout Taxi! Taxi! Miriam & Johanna, an adorable Swedish duo have released their first full-length album, Still Standing At Your Back Door , and it is nothing short of satisfying. I had heard a few of their songs in the past, but nothing really caught my attention aside from their clever name and Swede-appeal. Yes, of course they're Swedish. The country is basically synonymous with amazing music. This album is most perfect for the Fall season, all snug in your warm winter coats while making your way from [...]
Taxi Taxi! is the name of a duo I first heard about this summer. Obviously there was a hype around these twin sisters a couple of years ago, but I have to confess my ignorance about that. I any case I think that they create soulful music that deserves to be listened to. They have now released their first full-length album "Still Standing at Your Back Door", and it sounds great. It's often naked and acoustic with a roomy, somewhat lofi atmosphere. It's playful and personal, with a nice sense of melodies, and at the [...]
So why not send our former intern, Jenny Booth, to a festival in the UK, right? Heck, if it helps her with a press pass, we feel pretty damn good about it. -Ed. Having studied my degree in Cardiff—and always longed for a music festival on my doorstep—it was downright mean of Swn Fest's organizers to start it up the year I left school. Three years on, though, and I'm finally in the right place at the right time—if a little apprehensive as to how one of the world's smallest capital cities will rival last months [...]
