Bleakness, tragedy and despair are probably a few of the things you might think of when you hear the name Bergman. But don't let that... visit APC to read the full post, THX!!!

No not this Jay Brown... although he looks like he can hold his liquor and have your back in a bar brawl like any other. I'm talking about this chap here, HOTMESS hooligan JAY BROWN (found this gem on the web HAHA) The planets must be aligned because it's Friday, we have a radio show tonight and it's Jay's birthday. What a lovely way to start a night of debauchery. How old is he turning? No one knows, he hasn't aged a day since I met [...]

Walking home from the train tonight, I came to three consecutive revelations: a) As I wiped snow from my eyes, I realized.. February is far from over; we're not finished with winter yet. b) Snow covers not only sidewalks, but also dog poop. c) Upon checking the bottom of my not-so-water-proof boots: I have a hole in my shoe. But no poop. Win? And more is on the way - don't put the shovels and snow boots away quite yet. Who's down for making some The winter weather has inspired a mini-mix [...]

Arriva in Italia "A Camp", la band fondata da Nina Persson, per un concerto il 20 aprile a Milano ------

dl: A CAMP - Here Are Many Wild Animals ( alt ) ------------------------------ ------------------------------ -------- ------- Oh, have you heard? I'm in the running to be Queerty's next music reviewer. My statement is a little douche-worthy and I've been called unethical for leaving a comment thanking people for all the great feedback, but... vote for me ? Here is the review I submitted of A Camp's Colonia : [...]

MySpace The first A Camp album came at an interesting time, with The Cardigans having proven themselves not just a one-hit wonder but a two-hit one ("My Favourite Game" to go along with "Lovefool") but also rather burning out in the process. Nina Persson used the downtime to explore country music and Americana with the assistance of Sparklehorse's Mark Linkous and not only crafted an excellent record in their self-titled debut, but carried the influences back to The Cardigans to inform my personal favourite of their repertoire, Long [...]

A CAMP are back with a new album and single. I'm so glad to be hearing new material from The Cardigans front-woman Nina Persson . You can friend them on their official myspace! The bands sophomore album, Colonia will be released on April 28th. For now, you can preview a live version of the lead single, Stronger Than Jesus recorded at the band's studio in Harlem, NYC. Stronger Than Jesus [...]
the cardigans - i need some fine wine and you, you need to be nicer puh, heute wurde aber mal der sprichwörtliche bock zum gärtner gemacht. ich bin nämlich beileibe kein weinkenner. einige sagen zwar, Bei einem vernünftigen Abendessen dürfe guter Wein natürlich nicht fehlen, aber ich bin tendenziell eher anderer meinung. überhaupt finde ich die kombi essen und alkoholische getränke meist nicht so reizvoll. ausnahme natürlich: ein saftig gegrilltes steak und ein kühles bier. hmm! aber ich komme vom thema ab. irgendwie fühle ich mich [...]

Side project of Cardigans singer Nina Persson, A Camp has announced the release of the second album "Colonia". It has already been released throughout Scandanavia, and now Europe, but Americans can expect to see it on April 28th from Nettwerk Records. A Camp is a collaboration of Nina Perrson and her husband Nathan Larson (a music producer who often works on films), and fellow musician Niclas Frisk. What makes A Camp stand out from The Cardigans (whom I love, by the way) is their interest in Americana. The bluegrass and Americana revival is going strong not [...]
A Camp is Nina Persson of The Cardigans as well as Atomic Swing's Niclas Frisk and her husband Nathan Larson of Shudder to Think . Colonia is the band's second record (out April, 28th 2009 on Nettwerk), slowly following 2001's self-titled debut . To a casual observer, Persson's home away from The Cardigans would seem like drastic change of direction, unless you've followed The Cardigans into adulthood, in which case mid-tempo balladeering will sound just about right. No matter what group she's fronting, Persson's charming and girlish voice is the centerpiece, [...]

Gigantic Let it never be said that NoCal's Morning Benders are afraid of doing a cover version or two. Though they'd just released their second album Talking Through Tin Cans in May of last year, they still found the time to put together an album's worth of covers a couple months later, which they released for free download as The Bedroom Covers (still available to grab!). One of the selections on the compilation was "Lovefool", the song which both acted as [...]

With the recent announcement of the Academy Award nominations, we thought we'd take a look at songs that could have been written in tribute to some of this year's nominees. They weren't of course, but if they had, most of them would have better selections than the bulk of this year's original song nominees . Just how the Academy failed to nominate Springsteen's song from "The Wrestler" is beyond us. Sure, Dylan and Eminem have taken home Oscars, but so have Phil Collins and Three 6 Mafia. And just for the record, The [...]

In an industry mired in dime-a-dozen bands and MySpace insta-lebrities, today's bands tend to suffer from the same symptoms of overzealous promotion, ultimately leading to über-entitlement and general gloating. Yet despite the mighty roar of the media machines behind these bands, a large majority can hardly muster a meow when finally thrust into the spotlight. Expecting The Gadsdens to fare no differently, I moseyed over to their MySpace with a firm expectation of mediocrity. Well, I was wrong*. Much to my surprise, The Gadsdens provide a much needed breath of fresh air in a [...]
