Havde altså ret, da jeg spåede, at dette ville blive 2012's sidste indlæg. Den mellemliggende periode har jeg i stedet brugt på at løbe et marathon , socialisere med venner og familie i den virkelige verden samt bare generelt drukket og spist alt, alt for meget. Nu er jeg så tilbage på pinden og sådan nogenlunde klar til at tage hul på 2013. Som altid kommer der ingen nytårsfortsæt fra undertegnede; altså lige bortset fra den sædvanlige trussel om, at bloggen (forhåbentlig) vil fortsætte yderligere et år og fortsat bestå af en ikke [...]

Work is pretty much fucked up these days and leaves me absolutely no time for blogging. Work pays the bills I know, but that aside it pretty much sucks! Lovebugs has recorded this nice little cover of one of the anthems of my teenage years (recall kissing a few girls while dancing to this one...believe it or not!)... The great The Boombox Hearts are in the midst of recording their debut album, which (I quote) " [...]
There are only 7 days to go until the Olympics things here in London are getting a bit crazy. The locals seem to be finally getting excited about it. In typically British fashion their excitement is shown by you know, making fun of the games. I love that British sense of humor! This mixtape did not come together easily but I think it works. If you enjoy these mixtapes it would nice to hear from you. Tell me what sucks, what's good, how the weather is, you know that kind of thing. [...]
And like that, half the year is gone. For the doomsdayists, that means less than half a year until it all comes crashing to an end. In light of being prepared, I picked up a new little toy this last week: a beastly, black on black 1979 El Camino. The thing has a 350 V8, gets terrible gas milage but is in great condition. It growls and twists its body when you hit the accelerator. It makes you tingle. One of these days I'm going to create a playlist dedicated to [...]
A cracking month for new releases. Here is the some of the best of our posts from June, together with a couple of newbies for the perfect June mixtape. Check out some of the other 'Best ofs' in the sidebar too. The Hunting Accident - Aubergine Angular, compulsive, propulsive thump. a Download Damon Moon & The Whispering Drifters – The Fool mp3 (from Lungs, Dirt & Dreams) Distorted and dishevelled Americana with solitary slow wind and sparse picking. [...]
Thoroughly enjoying this, the first taste from the Boombox Hearts debut album. It's called 100 (The Latest Flame) , and it's very much pop the 60s way with some noisy indie-style guitars (and yes, the title's a reference to Elvis !). According to the band, " basically, it's about: pop, love, a girl perhaps named Marie, cigarettes and wine and the Isle of Wight ", a winning combination in anyone's book as far as we're concerned. Download it below. You can also get their Monte Carol EP via Bandcamp here [...]
Baby you're the sweetest waste of time. That's a recurring line from a brand new track called "100 (The Latest Flame)" off the forthcoming debut LP from The Boombox Hearts . Influenced by 60s pop, the band flirts with the genre a little while adding in noisy guitars. "100 (The Latest Flame)", notes vocalist/guitarist Ivan Petersen, is a reference to Elvis. Presley, of course, though Costello has two Flame related references ( My Flame Burns Blue and "The Only Flame in Town"). [...]
Stream or download ( name your price ) the new single 100 (The Latest Flame) by The Boombox Hearts . As I wrote a while back... it's totally awesome (no tristesse, just plain old catchy and perhaps a little melancholic) and of course I hope you agree! More details and the story behind the song can be found at the band's blog ...
Så er der nyt fra The Boombox Hearts! Første single fra det kommende album, der endnu ikke er navngivet eller har en udgivelsesdato, er en charmerende, naiv 60’er inspireret popperle. Den handler om pop, kærlighed, en pige der måske hedder Marie, cigaretter, vin og the Isle Of Wight, hvor forsanger Ivan Petersen en sommer i sin spirende ungdom dage traf denne pige, der måske hedder Marie. De tindrende guitarer er jeg helt vild med! Det kan anbefales at tjekke dette ældre indlæg ud, hvis du vil [...]
Admittedly things are not running as smoothly around here (and by that, I do mean the blog) as one could wish, but work, travelling, family and life in general is taking its toll. So be it and really nothing I can (or want to) change. Still room for music and here a few quick recommendations. First single Leave Your Body Behind You from Richard Hawley ’s recent album Standing At The Sky’s Edge [...]
Copenhagen's The Boombox Hearts have released the first track from their forthcoming debut album penciled for release in November, with a single scheduled for. The track entitled, C.P.H.L., is "distilled sadness and hate mixed with noise, lo-fi, spacepop and a beat", couldn't have said it better ourselves. Put it in your ears and then your hard drive. The Boombox Hearts; C.P.H.L.
Stream rough mix of new track C.P.H.L (what the abbreviation stands for seems to be a secret) by The Boombox Hearts . Will be the opening track of the band's forthcoming album (when, where, how etc. are still secrets I believe) and is " distilled sadness and hate mixed with noise, lo-fi, spacepop and a beat "...whatever that means exactly, except perhaps that sadness can sound incredibly cool? The rest of the album promises to " include sadness...and a few (slightly) happy pop songs ". [...]
Despite the end of the year fast approaching, thankfully the quality of new music shows no signs of slowing. Here are the best of our November offerings, together with some tasty new tracks to round off the mix.Over thirty great songs - just right for the roaring fire and the cocoa! Download Siskiyou - Twigs And Stones mp3 (from Keep Away The Dead) Brilliantly judged restless blend of country rock, folk, and grand orchestral rock.

Here is another collection of tunes we've gathered from our in-box and the internet - we'd like to have more time to do them justice, but nevertheless a cornucopia of pleasures awaits you we promise! First up is the consistently wonderful Damien Jurado with some authentic, strummed desert blues. Nothing Is The News is the first taste of his forthcoming album Maraqopa . Download Damien Jurado - Nothing Is The News mp3 (from Maraqopa) Indie-folksters The Dodos have made a previously unreleased track, So Cold [...]
Check out the new Spleen United single Days Of Thunder ...I used to love this band, but not a fan of the direction the band has taken since the debut album...
The Boombox Hearts har sendt mig et nyt nummer fuld af melankoli og efterårstristesse. Crank It Up er en lille lo-fi perle med country undertoner. Jeg er desuden ret vild med forsanger Ivan Petersesn hæse udtryksfulde stemme, der på Crank It Up lyder som om, han har fået hjertet kørt midt over. Nummeret er en slags intermezzo mellem EP’en fra og den kommende plade, som bandet har påbegyndt indspilningen af. I mellemtiden kan du høre flere tracks på bandets Soundcloud, Bandcamp og Bandbase profil. The Boombox Hearts — Crank It [...]
These days, it's hard to focus on anything unfamiliar that hits my inbox. The sheer quantity of emails that come in is staggering. Only doing FensePost full time would allow me to get through it all. Every once in a while, there's a free moment in which I take a quick look at a few, and I'm almost never disappointed. "Crank It Up" is one such song. It's by a little Danish band called The Boombox Hearts . The band is Ivan Petersen, along [...]
This is just a good ass song from some cool lo-fi Danes with at least one member with pretty hair. The Boombox Hearts
