Top 10s for 2004: Jason Christie

Emil Jensen
Kom hem som nån annan
Adrian Recordings

I really want to like Emil Jensen. I want to be able to sit there with a glass of red wine, look out the window, and listen to the lyrics and dream away. I want to like this album so much, because I know my mom would love it and that way we would have something to talk about. This is not a bad album; it's just an album my 50 year old, state employed, divorced mother would like. With that said, Emil is very talented, seriously, look at his website for all the stuff he has done, and at least I know what I am getting my mom for Christmas.

I don't know how exactly I got roped into this, but I'm the media sponsor for a Sunday afternoon club event in Stockholm called 'For the Record' at the downstairs lounge in Café String. Obviously, I don't get a chance to attend in person, but there's quite a cool lineup of artists booked:

07/18 - Britta Persson, Thomas Denver Jonsson
07/25 - Dialog Cet
08/08 - Edson, Emil Jensen
08/15 - The Virtues
08/22 - Labrador Records day
08/29 - Filled

Should be fun I hope. Check out a flyer here: http://www.itsatrap.com/pix/ftr.jpg
