Worrapalava's most recent post sent me off on yet another "is there any chance I can find any sort of update on what Linda Sundblad is doing?" spree (though on the Worrapalava front, Phil's post about Adam & the Ants is worth your time and I have him to thank for hooking me on the group and Adam a little while ago). Sure, she's a "featuring" artist on two recently released Rasmus Faber songs, but my craving for Linda's solo career has only been getting worse and worse in the time [...]
Universal has signed Swedish pop-metal act Dead By April and will be sending them into the studio with producer Henrik Edenhed ( Robyn , Lambretta ) to record their debut album. Hear demo tracks at myspace: http://www.myspace.com/dbaswe
Mini-Swedish singer update: As Europe Crazy reported , Lena Philipsson is set to release a new album...of duets with Orup. I'd rather have a brand new brilliant disco-pop solo album from Lena, but I guess I'll take what I can get. Linda Sundblad, currently working as a radio presenter, is working on new material , with a new single due out this January. She's once again working with Max Martin and Alexander Kronlund, but the new sound is said to be rockier than before. Maybe no surprise considering her background with [...]
Nuova puntata del nostro viaggio nel mondo della musica europea. Approdiamo in Scandinavia, più precisamente in Svezia, Norvegia e Finlandia. Paesi sempre molto avanti musicalmente. Vai con la copertina (cliccate sui titoli) Non potevamo non cominciare da qui, da uno dei fenomeni del 2007-08, vale a dire i finlandesi Nigthwish . Band decisamente heavy metal che ultimamente mescola molto anche suoni rock. " Amaranth ", che accompagna l'album " Dark passion play " è decisamente energetica. La passione per il rock [...]
- One for the Sociology types who lurk around here... So, I'm on my travels right now, with laptop, bits of paper, camera, roving around to conferences, meetings and all manner of different things in Edinburgh, London, Sheffield... elsewhere. And, to rent a cliche, life can be funny at times. For example, tomorrow, I'm examining a PhD* at the LSE , a doctoral student of this legend (can I ask him to sign a book , do you think, without making myself look like a total arse?). And guess what - the internal examiner (from [...]
Because this installment of Bahlactus's weekly four-color free-for-all happens to fall on February 29, I though it proper to celebrate the intercalary squaring of the temporal books known as a "leap year" with some bona fide leaping . Monsieur Batroc, would care to do the honors? (from Captain America #303, March 1985; by Mike Carlin, Paul Neary, and Dennis Janke) [...]
What a post delay, huh? I'm very much the type of person whose interests come in waves and the blog wave just didn't hit me for a while there. Long-time readers are accustomed to this pattern, so I won't necessarily apologize, but I felt a warning was necessary for newer readers. Blah, blah, blah, but now the weather smacks of fall (and fall's my favorite) and the wave crashed into me today and here I am. Another wave that's pummeled me (aside form a momentary desire to use annoying Internet abbreviations) the past week is [...]
It's another trip to the well of unfunny humor otherwise known as Marvel's Crazy Magazine . From the June 1980 issue of the magazine comes a selection of parodies of contemporary hit songs. The bar for successful song parodies isn't that high. Few can reach the level of a Spike Jones or a Weird Al, but several meticulous studies have shown than even taking the low road of scatalogical-themed puns and word substitution can be counted to generate some cheap chuckles. ( "The owner of a lonely farrrrrrrrt!" HA HA HA HA! ) It's a process that innumerable boys [...]
