I don't know when the last time vinyl was played on KSVR, but by the state of the record players it may have been quite a while. I dropped by the studio mid day on Friday to make sure the turntables worked properly, then came home and put together a split show. The first half, Halloween-ish songs (even if only in name, some only by their haunting sound) followed by half a show of more dance-y, electronic and remix tracks. Next week, I'm planning to have my buddy Brett join me for a 90s vinyl night. [...]

Nord & Syd - Äckla mig Det sägs att Nord & Syd består av Martin Abrahamsson från Vapnet och att det är Martin Hanbergs syster som sjunger. Mer än så vet vi inte, förutom att de som faktiskt är med i bandet har skapat några riktigt fina och raka popsånger på svenska. Gillar ni vad ni hör finns det mer att hitta här . Men åh är även den en favorit.
I've really enjoyed two very different videos today, both brand new, both from Nordic artists. I want to show them to you. I'll start with the long one, a full documentary following the Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds from Iceland Airwaves to a full scale UK tour in October 2008. Highly recommended viewing, and if you haven't bought any of Arnalds' music yet, I recommend everything! Ólafur Arnalds releases his music on Erased Tapes Records , one of my favourite labels at the moment. The Sky May Be [...]

( fffound ) This is not blogging. Sorry again for not being on the up and up with music. Last week I worked 70 hours on Monopoly and this weekend I drove to/ from NYC to help a friend move into Brokelyn. For real, where's the glory in saying you're from Brooklyn? No where. Anyway, I was able to sift through submissions and I've narrowed them down to what you see below. Andreas Tilliander + New Moscow - Caught in a Riot (Kite Remix) (darker) Andreas Tilliander + New Moscow - [...]
Andreas Tilliander - Caught in a riot (Vapnet remix) S K R I E T - Fåglarna Simian Mobile Disco featuring Chris Keating - Audacity of huge + Wilco - I am trying to break your heart (RIP Jay Bennett)

When you think of Andreas Tilliander , you don’t really think af pop-music. But when it comes to Morrissey, Andreas is fanatic. So to celebrate Moz 50 year (22 May), Andreas' mgmt decided to reveal 3 Tilliander-remixes that focus on the melodies. Enter summer with these remixes, that are perfect for dancing on meadows (with tulips in our back pocket). Vapnet may be Sweden’s best pop band and this is the sweetest treatment we ever heard. Vapnet take a look at the song and realizes that it might as well [...]

Andreas Tilliander 's "Caught in a Riot" gets the pop-treatment. Andreas Tilliander - Caught in a Riot (feat. New Moscow) (Vapnet Remix) (direct link) Andreas Tilliander - Caught in a Riot (feat.

I dag är en sådan dag då det känns som allting står stilla. Av någon anledning. För att förgylla er eventuellt gråa dag så har vi tre remixer på Anderas Tillianders låt Caught in a Riot med New Moscow (där ena halvan är David Fransson från Divison of Laura Lee) att erbjuda för nedladdning.

Vapnet is yet another Swedish band I can't get enough of. I wish I could say I have an obsession with bands from Sweden, but everyone likes these bands. Sweden just knows whats up in the indie scene. Vapnet is exactly that, but a little twist. They DONT sing in English. All the songs are in Swedish. Now don't turn away just yet because the music alone is enough to keep you listening. Could you imagine what it would be like if you did know what they were saying? Well, I know 3% Swedish so it's all good. New album [...]
I helgen håller vänsterpartiet sin partistämma här i Norrköping. Ikväll avslutar de med en hejdundrande (och givetvis klimatkompenserad) fest! Nu har jag förvisso inte fått något samtal från partiledningen ännu, men om Lars Ohly skulle ringa under eftermiddagen och bjuda in mig som DJ på festen har jag förberett en topplista på de låtar jag skulle spela: 3. Vapnet - Plötsligt händer det inte igen Egentligen skulle många låtar på Döda Fallet funka, men den inledande textraden "vi samlar bomber nog åt borgar-as" gör att det får bli [...]
Back home after a week in SF doing dayjob-related stuff and it's snowing?! In mid-April? C'mon now, that ain't right. Oh, and then there's the cold I caught my very first day in the office which I happened to bring home as well. So yeah, back, but not what I'd call well rested. Thankfully, contributor Arnulf Koehncke has come through with today's mp3 post in my stead: I was completely amazed when I first listened to "Skorpan " from Vapnet 's new album "Doda fallet" . For the first time, [...]
