MTVe has a little blurb about the plot for Kent's new video "Palace & main": http://www.mtve.com/article.php?ArticleId=5539
The CDS will be released on May 4 and will include the exclusive b-sides "Nihilisten" and "Alla mot alla".

Now back to the grind! Brand new mp3 from C.Aarmé. Forget about Kent, Moneybrother, or whoever else being this year's summer hitmakers - this track is by far the best single you'll hear this summer, maybe even all year. I've been listening to it on repeat all week, it's just so good. And what could be a better songtitle than "We are the world"? Can it get any better than that? No! Of course not! 100% pure gold I tell ya! Can't wait to hear the album.

Uncritical has posted a track from Moneybrother: http://uncritical.blogspot.com/2005/03/i-cant-say-why-i-need-you-here.html
Chris, I think you'll be happy to know that Simon ranks the album very highly, though he still feels that lead single is the weakest track. His full album review should be up either later today or tomorrow. I agree that it's a great album and I hope it catches on over here, too.
