First a brief update on two of the bands mentioned in my recent " whatever happened to " post. I did mention that Us With Millions split up, but has since learned that the main reason was the band members lacked the motivation to carry on with the project, when no label was prepared to release their debut album. I've (sort of) suggested that they should try to release it themselves on (e.g.) bandcamp , but I doubt if that's ever going to happen, as [...]
Not a highly original post this one, but for whatever nostalgic reason I spent some time last night checking out bands I've at some point featured on this blog. And on quite a few occasions I ended up asking myself: "what happened?", "why haven't we heard anything from these guys for ages?", "why weren't they huge?" etc. etc. Lots of questions to be answered, so I put on my Sherlock Holmes cap, found a magnifying glass, worded "the game's afoot" and started to search for information, updates or (heck) even signs of life from a few of the [...]
My first intention was to name this post Live blogging (here we go again) , but since some of the stuff I'm going to post was written earlier today, I thought this could be considered foul play. So instead I opted to go with the more neutral, rather anonymous, yet relatively accurate headline Blogging . But that doesn't change that I'll be sitting here for the next couple of hours reading, writing, searching, posting, listening and (most likely) deleting. You should be familiar with the disclaimer regarding grammar and spelling by now, and of course a picture will [...]
Re-post - Promo track added ! The Blueflowers debut album Watercolor Ghost Town was released this Saturday ( buy ), and even though I received my copy a while back, I hadn't really listened to it. But today I pulled my act together and showed more initiative than almost ever before, when I ripped the album onto my computer at work, so I can give more thorough listens. Don't expect this sudden energy level to sustain, but nice for at change to actually getting something done and feeling that things are progressing. [...]

Probably no regular reader missed my promotion of the Us With Millions concert Saturday evening, so a kind of follow-up post would be appropriate I guess? The picture is really bad I know, but trust me - that IS Us With Millions ! The sound just wasn't good. Far too often I have to write this following a concert and it just makes me feel that I'm a grumpy old man putting on the same old record. But as my otherwise musical ignorant friend sarcastically uttered after a few minutes – [...]
It's no longer a "maybe" and barring any unexpected happenings, I'm going to be at Lades on Saturday evening watching/hearing Us With Millions . This will be my second Us With Millions live experience (the first time was this summer at Vesterbro Festival ) and since the first concert the band has published three fine new tracks, so hopefully it will be an enjoyable evening with some excellent indierock! The band has recorded a new version of The Golden Coast which [...]
I øjeblikket er det julesangene, som sætter dagsordenen på Hits In The Car , men i må vente endnu 14 dage før der kommer en juleudgave af "Støj på Frekvensen". Denne udgave står i stedet på tre gange indie pop, en enkelt genganger samt en efterlysning. The Fridaynight Club - Aeroplanes Og vi starter med efterlysningen. Det er snart 2 år siden at jeg faldt over dette nummer på Myspace, og siden da har jeg forgæves ledt efter yderligere information om dette band. En sang som denne kan umuligt komme [...]
The trip to Prague was short, nice but very hard, so this is one tired blogger. Therefore words will be rationed today! The job interview went very well and they called me Friday (just before going to the airport) and offered me the job, so I expect to sign the contract tomorrow. I'll soon post more about this and the expected consequences for the blog. The lovely people in Oliver North Boy Choir are giving away four previously unreleased tracks. This backwards version of Baby Cool [...]

Port Largo - Another State Of Mind Ugens dårligste nyhed var uden tvivl beskeden om at århusianske Port Largo er gået i opløsning. Men musikken lever videre og dette nummer produceret af Carsten Heller lyder som en herlig elektronisk og poppet udgave af Mew. Download som mp3: Another State Of Mind Us With Millions - Rosebud Jeg indrømmer gerne, at jeg har en stor kærlighed for mange af de bands, som Gaffa [...]
As promised earlier this week; here's another recently recorded track by Danish trio Us With Millions . I'll stop comparing the band to that ONE particular band, as this new song clearly proves that these guys are fully capable and ready to make a name of their own. The quiet opening part aside, Do You Blush? follows nicely in the footstep of the band's previous works, which probably is the best recommendation I can give! Finally; big thank you to the boys for letting me post this as an exclusive download. + [...]
The past 3 days the girls and I visited some friends' at their derelict farm in Sweden, where I (when I wasn't drinking beer) spent several hours every day chopping wood. That certainly was great and much needed exercise for arms, shoulders and back, but it also (once again) made it painfully clear that my shape was a whole lot better in the old days, before I became a dad. Speaking of Sweden, I found the new Kent album Tillbaka Till Samtiden in my mailbox last night. It definitely sounded [...]
Us With Millions er et rockband fra Aarhus, og netop "månedens demo" i Gaffa, hvor de bliver sammenlignet med navne som Band of Horses og Twilight Singers. På deres MySpace beskriver de deres musik som "indierock as played in the country side", hvilket der kan være noget. På MySpace kan du også downloade flere sange med dem, og læse deres blog som de opdaterer rimelig ofte. og så er der nok ikke mere tilbage end at sige, "Dan, din fee' bamsebjørn"! og tjek det uud.. The Tactician [...]
I've just returned from a very short Myspace trip and here are a couple of the "souvenirs" I picked up. Words will be added later today... + Us With Millions - The Golden Coast + Powderdust - Wait For You [Federspiel Remix] + The Floor Is Made Of Lava - Do Your Sister (James Braun Does Ya Mama Too Remix) + Ronderlin - [...]
Today has been awful at work. And it didn't exactly get any better by having quite a few songs that I'd love to post.
