Stuarto and I talked a lot just before my show began and in the minutes after it started about the radio station he's been building at his house. He's dubbing it 1020Radio, and you can check out the (right now) super minimalist site he's running over at 1020Radio.net . You can also find it on Facebook . It's been a long time coming; the station is nearing completion and just about to hit the Internets. All goes well, and time permitting, [...]

Label compilations are either a good way of getting to know great bands that has something similar to another band on the label that you like, OR a few good songs and a lot of boring stuff you're absolutely not interested in. The label-compilations from Matinée Recordings are usually of the first category, and since I like most of the music this quality-label releases, I often love their label compilations... Matinée is a very style focused label. All their bands have "the Matinée sound", - highly melodic, warm, friendly indiepop. It's usually quite jangly, [...]

I just wrote yesterday that the first CDs of this year have already been ordered, and today, they landed in my mailbox. That really was a quick delivery! The two CDs came from fine label Matinée Recordings , and I really don't have much to add to Morten 's posts about Northern Portrait 's debut-album Criminal Art Lovers ( here ) and the Matinée Grand Prix [...]
zunächst der hinweis auf eine ganz spezielle compilation- reihe, die höchsten respekt verdient, es handelt sich um "berlin songs", mittlerweile in phase drei angelangt, enthält das kompendium 27 songs, die, so die macher j.n. junker und s. hoffmann, "einen Schnappschuss der Berliner (Anti)Folk/Singer-Songwriter- und Lofi/DIY-Community geben will. Es soll versucht werden, ein Bild von spannenden Künstlern zu zeichnen, die in Berlin Fuß gefasst haben oder im Rahmen von Veranstaltungsreihen wie Fourtrack on Stage, amSTARt oder auf dem diesjährigen von Junker und Hoffmann mitveranstalteten Festival Down by the River in der Bar25 aufgetreten sind.

Erg slecht nieuws, durf ik wel te zeggen. De Lucksmiths stoppen er mee. Dit is op hun site te lezen: Dear Friends, There's no easy way to put this, so please accept our apologies for the seemingly abrupt nature of this post. We are saddened to announce that after sixteen years as The Lucksmiths, the band has decided to break up. The last few years have been an uphill battle in many ways, so this isn't a hasty decision based on any falling-out between band members, but rather, an acceptance of the [...]
schöner release auf manimal vinyl , wieder einmal, ich denke, dass die junge dame auch beim klienicum nicht mehr gänzlich unbekannt ist, "invisible sunday" kam am 17.03. und dreht zum teil ordentlich auf, prima: Alexandra Hope - Invisible Sunday Alexandra Hope - Perhaps a Fantasy kemado hält auch immer wieder überraschungen bereit, die hier [...]

![The Guild League: Mouse Vs. Mountain [Video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1572076_lg.jpg)
I cannot decide which item I'm more excited about, the free mp3 of "Dead Hour" or the video of "Mouse Vs. Mountain" by The Guild League . This band has been around a while and hints strongly of The Lucksmiths (thanks to their indie-pop nature, Australian home, and the frontman being none other than Tali White), and their following even includes... President Obama? Yeah, so I guess he used a line from Inner North in a speech late last month: "The quiet burden of your absence." [...]

The Guild League - The Storm Schysst folkpop från Australien som i refrängen blir lite rockigare. Låten kommer från bandets andra album Inner North , men de släppte det tredje 2008.

Op de een of andere manier weet ik niet echt wat ik met een band als de Guild League aan moet. En dat heeft vooral met zanger Tali White te maken. Ik ben een groot fan van zijn band The Lucksmiths en dan is het vreemd om die zo herkenbare stem in een heel andere omgeving te horen. De Guild League rolt namelijk net iets meer zijn spierballen dan de Lucksmiths. Het is een beetje alsof Sam Beam van Iron & Wine gaat zingen bij Marah. Misschien werkt het wel, maar wennen is het absoluut. [...]
We continue where we left you in the first round of our Matinée marathon, and this time I will focus on The Lucksmiths' "First Frost" and The Guild League's "Speak up" . It's easy to see these two bands as variations of the same, since it's Tali White who sings in both bands. In The Guild League , he is the main songwriter, while he has [...]

Tornano i Guild League! Accanto all'atteso ritorno dei Lucksmiths , di cui parlava ieri anche Inkiostro , tra le altre ottime nuove uscite Matinée mi fa molto piacere segnalare anche il nuovo disco del progetto parallelo The Guild League , curato dal cantante dei Lucksmiths Tali White. Nati come una sorta di supergruppo circa sei anni fa , differenziandosi dal suono dei Lucksmiths soprattutto per arrangiamenti più pieni e un mood più solare, avevano poi trovato una formazione stabile con il secondo [...]
I haven't been too active blogging after the compilations were released, and the list of things to do have just grown bigger and bigger. Here are some of the good things that have happened lately.
