Found myself on a little business jaunt to Philadelphia yesterday. And with a beautiful day on my hands, I felt obliged to walk around aimlessly with all the free time I could steal. In my mind, this is what such a walk sounds like, irrespective of season or weather. And no amount of grim faces and neck tattoos can take the soul out of that fantasy. Bibio - Jealous Of Roses
These last years, Kitsuné x Petit Bateau's story was such on a roll, we could say our fox have sea legs! Kitsuné and Petit Bateau embarked together for the first time in 2009 in a pretty natural way. Their affinities for seaside atmospheres and common apology of their French heritage easily matched, to finally lead and [...]
Leave it to Knife/Fever Ray vocalist Karin Dreijer Andersson to find the dark side in a cool, almost marimba-like electronic groove. Or to look at it in reverse, I guess this is a pop song in her world. Music for walking in circles and waiting for what comes next. Fever Ray - Triangle Walks
Pirate Jenny (Threepenny Opera) - Sir Tralala (live, Alberner Hafen, Danube, September 7th 2009) I love the Threepenny Opera. When I was a kid, The Threepenny Opera (we had the version with Milva, Ute Lemper and Mario Adorf) was my favourite record and Seeräuber Jenny was my favourite song on it. I really like Sir Tralalas rendition but he cannot compete with the years (I was an obsessive kid) I spent listening to this on the family stereo, drawing in the living room.
I'm getting a sense of Déjà vu here, I swear it was about this time last year I wrote about Magnus Birgersson's last release under his Solar Fields monicker, Random Friday. As with his prior release Origin # 01 however, this one is a ... Continue reading
Hay canciones con la fabulosa (¡y muy práctica!) capacidad de ponerte de muy buen humor incluso en el día más horrible: ésta es una de ellas. Se publicó en 2009, dentro del segundo disco " It's Not Me, It's You " de la famosísima Lily Allen, con el que la artista de Londres se enfrentaba al reto de demostrar al mundo que su propuesta iba más allá de ser "la-chica-que-se-hizo-famosa-g racias-al-MySpace". La cuestión es que, aunque no puede decirse que sea un gran seguidor de lo que hace esta chica, este acercamiento frívolo al country americano me [...]

Segunda entrega de este especial Spearmint con el que superamos la barrera de las 100 canciones en este rinconcillo musical: en esta ocasión se trata de una versión menos northern soul , pero más hiper-vitaminada, y ab-so-lu-ta-men-te disfrutable. " A Week Away " es, con toda probabilidad, el disco más exitoso de Spearmint, si es que el calificativo de exitoso puede aplicarse a uno de los grupos con los que la respuesta indiferente del público (y las consiguientes ventas) ha sido especialmente sangrante. El disco podría considerarse su "debut oficial", si no contamos como tal la [...]
When Dungen burst onto the scene (in the US at least), frontman Gustav Ejstes seemed a man out of time. Or at least one so devoted to the range of vintage psychedelic practices that one would think he had spent his whole life in a very particular academy. Since we pretty much live an environment of neighboring nostalgia bubbles, there's no point anymore in picking at people for lack of originality. Given that, I was totally sold on the songwriting and presentation, which was as faithful to Ejstes's notion of the ideal late '60s as it is a reminder that [...]

It's Monday, so why not a song about shedding the past and bounding toward inevitable mortality. All the better when driven by a such bouncy beat and an angelic vocals. Viva la workweek! Sweet Trip - Pretending
Esta es una de esas canciones-sorpresa, de esas que de pronto descubres en un disco que te habías comprado porque habías escuchado en la radio un par de canciones que te tenían loco, y que al final, mira tú por dónde, resulta que no eran las mejores del álbum. El caso es que voy a intentarlo, pero me resulta bastante difícil escribir sobre " We Were Wasted " sin sonar cursi, porque la verdad es que el tema es de una delicadeza que se presta a ello. Y no sólo esta canción: todo lo que hay en " The Sleeper [...]
Vamos a hablar de Girls: un grupo al que perfectamente puede aplicársele aquella conocida máxima de "Vive deprisa, muere joven, y deja un cadáver bonito". Así, el fugaz dúo conformado por el peculiar Christopher Owens y Chet "JR" White nos desencajó a todos la mandíbula en 2009 con su álbum de debut, " Album ". (¿Me da una revista? - ¿Hola? - ¡Hola! ¿Me da una revista?); se vistió de gala en el soberbio " Broken Dreams Club EP" de 2010, y finalmente, dejando tras de sí ese inconfundible olor a pólvora y una colección de canciones a-co-jo-nan-tes, desapareció [...]
Con el tiempo, se ha comprobado que la impresión que iban dando los Röyksopp conforme iba engordando su discografía, de ser sencillamente un grupo de pop electrónico con el que pasar buenos ratos, no distaba mucho de la realidad. Sus discos son un catálogo de hits capaces de propulsarte bien a la pista de baile, bien a las ensoñaciones cósmicas más remotas, pero sin abandonar nunca el carácter evasivo de la propuesta. Así que dando por bueno que en el caso de la música de dúo noruego no se trata tanto de experimentar, como de disparar las endorfinas, [...]
Echadle la culpa a Mogkumo: fue él quien me descubrió a esta tal Annie, cuya existencia me era totalmente ajena, y me convirtió en un fan de la Madonna-Indie-que-no-es Robyn. Y es que, aunque soy plenamente consciente de que la hombría de uno no queda del todo intacta después de reconocer cosas así, a mí todas estas producciones de pop fantabuloso de Richard X y los Xenomania me parecen chiflantes. En un mundo medianamente justo, " Don´t Stop " (disco en el que inexplicablemente no fue incluida la pista sobre la que va este post, algo que prácticamente [...]

Now That's What I Call 2009! I had so much fun making the 2008 HDPP , I figured it was only fitting to follow up with my favorite hits from 2009. There were so many great albums to choose from, but as I discovered during this exercise, it is very hard to put together a cohesive mix as it seems my favs were quite an eclectic collection of styles. Since today is 12-12-2012, I really tried hard to reduce this list down to 12 songs... but 15 is as close as [...]

Sofia Talvik's Xmas Calendar, window 6 You all know that you need a gingerbread house to make Christmas complete. And you also need some kids to help you build it. I decided to let my cello player Christian, who also happens to be an architect and should know a thing or two about building houses, and his daughter Gunnel help me build one. This is a re-run from my 2009 Christmas Calendar, but it was one of my favorite episodes and I think you're just going to love it! And the best thing is that you [...]
Sofia Talvik's Xmas Calendar, window 3 My favorite food on the Christmas dinner table is the Swedish Christmas ham, but I know that a lot of people out there prefer to not eat meat for Christmas. One talanted artist that was a guest on my Xmas Calendar in 2009 showed me some great ways to celebrate Christmas without meat, and I decided to share that episode with you guys as a re-run. Stiko Per Larsson is a great Swedish artist who is not only a vegetarian, but also have a habit [...]
Merry Christmas! A few days ago I released my yearly Christmas single. It's called " One Last Wish For Christmas " and it's recorded partly in the US and partly in Sweden (thank you internet). The single has been very well received and here's a selection of quotes from some writers around the globe: "One Last Wish For Christmas" has the feel of a simple and intimate Indie Folk song [...]
