So I guess you want to know what my favorite songs of 2008 are? You can check out the list after the jump, but if you're feeling lucky just click one of the links below to download each part, which contain 20 tracks a piece. Trust me when I say that 2008 was a good year for music. Granted, I think 2007 was a much better year for music with amazing albums from artists like LCD Soundsystem, Arcade Fire and Spoon, but 2009 was the year that will always be remember by two words...auto tune. And even though it certainly [...]

When a band can manage to at separate times evoke Neil Young, Steely Dan, the Flaming Lips, and the Apples in Stereo, and still retain a sound that's all their own, all I can really do is prostrate myself and surrender to their sonic majesty. If that's not enough to convince you, the cover for their new album appears to be some sort of female gunslinger scene embroidered onto something. Freaking marvelous. I invite you to enjoy a couple tracks from Dr. Dog, a band poised to take my top 5 by storm. [...]
I haven't done a mix in a while, so here's seven songs that you will hopefully enjoy. And if you don't, just remember that the blog's free, and that you can e-mail me suggestions at eitheror.hugh(at)gmail(dot)com . I sometimes take ages to get around to them, but sometimes... not ages, and you may just get lucky, at least if you define "lucky" as "Hugh read my e-mail." I hope you do not use such a definition, but anyway, enjoy the songs. Aaron Beaumont - Julia - (MP3, 4.1 MB) This [...]

Sunesdotter is a like a force brought from the woods in the south, draped with "Näcken" as inspiration. Together with the producer Christopher Dominique whom have arranged and written many of the songs, they have now created a sound which lets the view become a classic coniferous forest with treetops of solemn harmonies and a boost of dancing discoshoes.

December Darling is now making a serious effort on their music career and can frequently be seen on concert scenes around Sweden. [...]
Bette Midler's point about MTV and the rise of the music video ruining live performance may have something of a corollary: Do certain bands' images, broadcasted through said videos and performances, actually make them more anoying than they might be if you just stumbled onto their music while flipping around the radio or hearing ambient songs in a public place? I think the obvious answer is "yes" (surely a blind taste test of, say, Fall Out Boy would result in at least three out of the 10 people who were so ready to make that band an easy [...]
Dr. Dog Fate / Park The Van / July 22nd The latest from Philly rockers Dr. Dog follows in the footsteps of their incredibly well-received 2007 effort, We All Belong, bringing a heartfelt classic rock sound that begs to be listened to on cross-country road trips and warm summer nights.

This weekend saw the very first Way Out West festival in Gothenburg, Sweden. Despite the rainy weather, the festival proved to be a hit with audiences as well as critics. I myself didn't have the opportunity to attend the festival, but figured it be a good excuse to post some mp3's by a couple of the performers: MP3: The Tough Alliance - First Class Riot MP3: Säkert! - Allt Som Är Ditt MP3: [...]

Tuesdays.... Only marginally better than Mondays. So what better day for a bit of "operatic glam rock." By way of Sweden. To lift your spirits. Put some spring in your step. Some swish in your hips. All courtesy of THE ARK . Over-the-top in all the right ways, by my lights. Which I guess would be "disco" lights, in this case. Fear not the flamboyant. The ghost of FREDDIE MERCURY wills it so. ( MIKA , too.) [...]
