October's been probably the busiest month of my life, as far as I can remember, and that's why I haven't been around here much. However, that doesn't mean I haven't been hearing lots and lots of new fantastic things! Since it's Sunday and I'm enjoying some very welcomed downtime, I thought I'd play catch-up a little bit this week with a few records I love personally, but have yet to love publicly! The Lil' Hospital First up, the record that has kept me dancing on the bed more [...]

Swedish indie act The State of Samuel will play at The Charleston in Brooklyn, NY on September 20 along with Lil' Hospital .
Today I give you some new Christmas songs + some older favourites. Let's start! The Swedish pling-plong orchestra Detektivbyrån has made their own version of "O Holy Night". The song was taped during a break in the recordings of Detektivbyrån's debutalbum, and as you can hear, the song definitely has the Detektivbyrån-plingplong sound... The song is hosted by the band, and will be available until the 1 of January 2008. Detektivbyrån - Oh Holy Night ...and I can't resist [...]
The Lil' Hospital Last Wednesday Kevin stopped by our friend Caitlin's show on WBAR Radio to play a little acoustic set. He played some songs from last year's Heavy Metal , and a couple new ones, too. Due to some problem the show ended up not being archived, but thanks to Caitlin we do have recordings of the two new songs that Kevin played. The first one's a catchy little song called "Universe" and the second one is a funny song about Kip Berman of The Pains of [...]

Unless you DIDN'T, in which case you DO now. They released a fantastic album last year [...]

Check out some songs below and hopefully I might see you there! [MP3]: Surefire Broadcast :: Miles Apart [MP3]: Lil' Hospital [...]
Okay, so I'm aware that Summer's beginning to wind down, but I'm not ready to say goodbye just yet. I've created a mix, using the most special of ingredients, known to be very powerful against the threat of fall and it's plans to overtake Summer. Join me in listening to this mix all day long and riding Summer out as long as we can! P.S. It's not all twee, but most of it is, so whatever.
