I have a(nother) new favourite blog. The Tram Sessions does exactly what you might expect, featuring lots of lovely bands playing live on trams - on various routes around Gothenburg. Here're a couple of my early favourites, courtesy of Universal Poplab and We Are Soldiers We Have Guns. Some great music and an unexplored (by me at least) city to gawp at - a winning combination for sure! And there's oodles more over here .

You'd have to be on another planet not to at least have heard of Buffet Libre's 80's cover project. The Spanish website has embarked on the auspicious mission of covering all the great songs from the 80's. They've signed up a ton of great bands and are giving all the music away for free. I'd been staying away until now, but with this Billy Idol cover by Friday Bridge I can remain quiet no longer. After listening to this sterling cover I now want to go though the entire site and listen to all [...]

Photo via We Are Soldiers We Have Guns I'd never heard of Spanish site Buffet Libre before, but they've made a hell of a first impression with their enormous, 58-song '80s covers and remixes compilation entitled Rewind , all available to download for free (and legal). The majority of artists are unknown to me but range from around the world and there are some familiar names in the mix - Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin throwing some massive synths at XTC , Electric Soft Parade tackling [...]
Danish postrock act Slaraffenland will release the new EP "Sunshine" this coming fall via Rumraket. Listen to the track "I'm a machine" at myspace: http://www.myspace.com/slaraff enland
We are Soldiers We Have Guns is the name of the "band" fronted by Malin Dahlberg. Yes, she's from Sweden - Gothenburg like Jens and Jose - and yes, she too writes some pretty sweet tunes. Her debut album Get Up, Get Out will be (getting) out on June 30th, but in the meantime you can stream all the tracks from the album. There are some pretty good tracks on the album, so do check them out. [...]

So, seit Juni 2007 ist der Last Pop Song auf Sendung und ungefähr alle 10 Posts erscheint ein bunter, anarchischer MP3 Mix mit jeweils sechs aktuellen oder vergangenen Songs aus der großen weiten Musikwelt des Internets. Hier ist nun Nummer 30 und dies ist ein kleiner Grund Rückschau zu halten. Neben den sechs neuen Songs gibts als Bonus nochmals die gesamten ca. 1.000.000 bisher veröffentlichten Songs. Das der ein oder andere einen toten Link beinhalten könnte mag sein, ich habe sie nicht mehr alle überprüft. Viel Spaß! Joy Division - Failures (Live) MP3 [...]
I have got a new favourite label (yes, another one) and another favourite band... The label is called Lavender Recordings , and they are from Sweden. The artist is We Are Soldiers and We Have Guns , released on Lavender, and also from Sweden. We are soldiers we have guns is Gothenburg resident Malin Dahlberg, who also play in Douglas heart and and Laurel music. On the project's new single, she has covered two well known songs, "Wild World" and "Whereever I lay [...]
We Are Soldiers We Have Guns - "Songs That No One Will Hear" mp3 We Are Soldiers We Have Guns -"Damn Those TV Shows, Damn Them Straight To Hell" mp3 There's something equally essential in the song title as is in the song itself: these might well be the songs no one will hear, but those nobodies that do, appreciate them with love. Un-party music you listen to in an un-hurry day. We Are Soldiers We Have Guns and more lovely [...]
Falls ihr gestern nicht schon beim Seefa Festival im Berliner FEZ gewesen sein solltet, dann leg ich es euch für heute ans Herz. Eine großartige Festivalkulisse, sowas hat man noch nicht als Bühne gesehen. Unglaublich aber wahr: Gerade im Regen entfalten die Kokons auf dem Wasser ihre ganze Schönheit. Weiterer Vorteil gegenüber der Megafestivals Southside und Hurricane: Es gibt Platz zum Unterstellen und im Gegensatz zu den zehntausenden Seelen, die bis auf die Knochen aufgeweicht sind, kann man schnell wieder nach Hause unter die warme Dusche. Als Berliner jedenfalls. Eintritt ist kostenlos, heute spielen noch Nitrada, Kangding Ray, [...]

I start with Edson. Pelle Carlberg inside this band. I have their album 'Unwind with Edson'. That album is nice. I don't really know about this band. Edson - When the Mind Suffers the Body Cries Out Edson - Sunday Lovely Sunday [...]
Lots of artists offer some free songs these days, and the blogs are full with postings about it. So here's another great sampler. New Ears Day offers a new song for free download every day until December 23rd, and there are a few great tunes up there already. Here's a small selection; make sure you check out the rest here: http://www.newearsday.com/ Midlake - It Covers The Hillsides Audrey -

Stereo Test Kit Records continue their rich vein of form with two more excellent releases from We Are Soldiers We have Guns and Boy Omega . The formers release is an EP/Mini album titled To Meet Is Murder .

The band contains Malin Dahlberg (also Douglas Heart/Laurel Music) and Jocke Ros
