I really don't have time to write anything today, but right now I'm completely fed up with work. So screw that! Andrew Boland , who must own one of the best voices in music, has abandoned his solo project for a while, and is now fronting a brand new Manchester constellation named Carnations . Musically you won't find much of the heartfelt crooning we've been used to hearing from Mr. Boland , as Carnations has chosen to walk the indie/alternative rock path. [...]
Reality is once again showing its ugly face, as both work and life in general are demanding a lot from me. So those thoughts on The William Blakes album I promised to post today will have to wait. + Violent God (promo track off the debut) The self-titled Polly Scattergood debut is out in the UK today , but I have yet to receive my promo copy. Hopefully it's worth the wait? + Nitrogen Pink [...]
The jury is still out on the concert tonight . I'm meeting a friend in Copenhagen for beer(s) and shawarma, and the mission tonight will be selling him the idea of going. But he has fairly decent taste in music, so shouldn't be that hard…I hope! + Cleo Malone – The Way Down + The Imaginary Orchestra of Mr. Kite – The Mapmakers Dream We Had Faces Then [...]
Since I'll be in Copenhagen anyways, I'm seriously considering a visit to Lades tomorrow night to see/hear/watch/experience/what ever Cleo Malone and The Imaginary Orchestra of Mr. Kite . Young kids with lots of potential! + Cleo Malone - Hurricane ( more songs ) + TIOMK - Time Is Just Seconds Away ( more songs )

Below some of the stuff I've learned about in (what seems to be) the "old-fashioned" way. Anyone remember God Is Going To Get Sick Of Me by Aberdeen City ? If so, you might be interested in listening to the new demo track Whose Blood Is It ? I know I was! + [...]
Still wondering what would be the best way to describe the music of The Floors Is Made Of Lava . Indie-party-rock perhaps? Glad that IKEA Did A Job On You is among the promo tracks as it's one of my favorite ones on the album + IKEA Did A Job On You Emerald Park is giving away another track from the band's recently recorded album. In the band's own words the song is " a tribute to [...]
How was the Grand Avenue concert Friday evening? Oh well - thanks for asking. You see - the thing is that Tivoli Gardens is an amusement park with rides and stuff. And since boys will forever be boys we simply couldn't resist trying this , this , this , this (for the second time) and finally this (which just seemed to be going on and on and...). So when we finally had had enough of twist and turns and started heading for the open air [...]
