THE GEEKS

Great Song, from the swedish band Kent. The video is a bit scary but most Kent-fans are too so it works ;)

HASSLE

Only for my Holly:

MP3: Erik Hassle - Isn't it Obvious?



Isn't it Obvious?

I spend time to try to get to know you
As life passing by, I show you my heart
I couldn't be my true

I spend trust, despite of everything that I've lost
I put my trust in you, isn't it obvious that I do love you?

If holding hand is too discreet
Let's make out in the middle of four street
If this flowering just ain't enough for you
Help me god to tell me what to do
Couldn't be more true, isn't it obvious that I love you?

I get down on my knees to get you walk and run
And to please your need to be connected with me
In everyway you can

If holding hand is too discreet
Let's make out in the middle of four street
If this flowering just ain't enough for you
Help me god to tell me what to do
Couldn't be my true, isn't it obvious that I love you?
Isn't it obvious that I need you?
Isn't it obvious that I love you?
Isn't it obvious now?

Couldn't be more true
Isn't it obvious that I love you?
Isn't it obvious?

MACKAN

A video from the one and only Markus Krunegård:



His lyrics are such a good reason to start learning swedish.

Puss och Kram!

HE'S BACK!

I've waited and waited and waited. I've sang "Sheila" so many times that I know the lyrics by heart. Now, he is finally back with a new EP entitled "Sticks 'n' Stones".
Here is the single:



The other 3 tracks on the EP are just <3.
Jamie, wont you just marry me?

MP3: Jamie T - Sticks 'n' Stones

HAL 9000

Lovesit. And no, not the computer. The band.


HAL - Play The Hits:


HAL - What A Lovely Dance:

DANCE TO THE SOUND OF SIRENS

Yesterday was great! Even the DJ was better than usual, although his transitions were crappy as always! That man just hasn't heard of the button called "fast forward".
Enough of the criticism, here you have the video of a great Bloc Party remix from the Album Intimacy Remixed (2009):





The video consists of fan footage from various Bloc Party concerts.

500 FUNNY MILES

Two of the most funniest shows ever and one great song, The Proclaimers - I'm gonna be (500 Miles).

THE BEST WHITE LIE

I'm so excited! One of the best bands from 2009 so far is White Lies and they are finally coming to play here in Munich. They're supposed to be really good live and even if they are not it doesn't matter. The album is still great. Personally I think that there isn't one single song on the album that isn't good. The music, the voice and the lyrics. Everything is in a perfect balance. One favourite from the album is "Unfinished business", it's about a couple fighting. The girl picks up a pair of scissors and murders him. He comes back to haunt her but then realises he is still in love with her and just wants to be with her. It's dark, it's gloomy, it's tenebrous. Just take "E.S.T", a song about manic depressives committing suicide due to fear of undergoing electrocution therapy. White Lies is the band that The Killers are to afraid to become. Because when it come to White Lies everything has got to be love or death, and that's it.

MP3: White Lies - E.S.T
MP3: White Lies - Fifty On Our Foreheads


See ya tonight bitches!

Love the voice, love the music, love the HAIR.

NEWSFROMSVERIGE

MELODYCLUB

New Melody Club song from their upcoming album:

I'M BAAAAACK!

...with a great song and an amazing video:





I've actually been back from the UK quite a while now and I've been wanting to post this song for some time now but just had to much other things going on. Sorry.

GIN IN TEACUPS

Yeah, I'm off to Albion (as Pete Doherty would say)! I am going to meet up with my lovely Holly Golightly tomorrow and then we will be walkin' round London town (as Lily Allen would say) for 6 days!



Peace out darlings!

SVERIGE

I've meant to upload this remix for a while now but been to lazy to do so. I think Detektivbyrån really did a great job on this one, it is not better than the original version but close. Detektivbyrån have been critically acclaimed for their music and the Markus Krunegård remix as well as a Those Dancing Days remix they've done are being played kind of frequently on swedish radio.

MP3: Markus Krunegård - Jag Är En Vampyr (Detektivbyrån Remix)

SENTIMENTAL

Anna Ternheim does a cover of Broder Daniel's song Shoreline

SKOGSKYRKOGÅRDEN

The new video for Elenette's Jag Hatar Män:

PUPPYEYES

Totally in love on Valentine's Day.


And for you:

MP3: Coldplay - Viva la Vida/Lost (feat. Jay-z) Live @ 2009 Grammys

TAKEMETOLOVE

Håkan Hellström:

Zigenarliv Dreamin

En Midsommarnattsdröm (MP3)
Inte Skyldig Nån Nåt

COEUR DE PIRATE

I'm not that much for the french language, but this is kind of cute.




Maybe it's because she is canadian? Check her out on Myspace to listen to more of her folk/pop songs.

LOOKATMENOW,WHATDOYOUTHINK?

Just ordered it. Now I will look just like Markus.

MP3: Markus Krunegård - Det är ett idogt jobb att driva ungdomen ut ur sin kropp

xoxo

Some songs from yesterday at the Atomic Café. DJ was of course the marvelous Henning Furbach, who actually played Hammarin & Robin, wohoo! (I sent him the song!)

The last three ones were actually the last songs he played and the lights were already on. Perfect!

Lykke Li & Bon Iver doing Dance Dance Dance

news from...peteronella?

Here you go, the first single from Pete Doherty's upcoming solo-album, "Grace/Wastelands" which will be released on the 16th of March according to NME. The album also features Blur-guitarist Graham Coxon and Doherty's friends from Babyshambles.

MP3: Pete Doherty - Last of the English Roses (Radio Rip)

GIRLINLOVEWITHAGIRL

I'm in love with Zooey Deschanel. I think she has just the right amount of quirkiness, humor, beauty and charisma. I first started to really notice her as she did a few episodes of Weeds, were she played Kat, Andy's crazy ex-girlfriend. Her most recent role was in the movie Yes Man were she played Jim Carrey's love-interest. There is a part in the movie were she gives a concert with her made up-band Munchausen By Proxy:








Zooey, wo is engaged to Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard, is in a indieband called She & Him together with M. Ward. Their Debut LP "Volume One" got critically acclaimed in 2008 and was on many Best Album lists. I really join in on the critics and think that the music of She & Him is timeless.

MP3: She & Him - I Should Have Known Better

She & Him - This Is Not A Test

She & Him - Take It Back

Munchausen By Proxy - Uh-Huh

Blond melodies

The Swedes are really hitting it this year. I just found Love Lindblom, this blond indiekid from Stockholm making catchy poptunes a la Håkan Hellström. Apparantley Love's Debut EP will be out this summer and isn't it just perfect for it? Bet those little teenage indiegirls will be screaming their lungs out.

Video for Till Min Syster (Melodier):


MP3: Love Lindblom - Till Min Syster (Melodier)

Oh, and "till min syster" means "for my sister" in english. Aw, cute.

does the world need another lover?

These are two songs from two great swedish bands that are up and about:

Hammarin & Robin - Lingering Regret

Elenette - Kärlekskomplexet

Beautiful.

...this blog is so dead! But I promise, it'll be revived no later than Wednesday.

New Years - yeah I got busted

New Years Eve with sparklers, coffe with whiskey, the new years kiss, pink champagne, alot of drama and Jens Lekman - You're the Light (by which I travel)

Peace!
