November's album of the month selection is a no-brainer: of course I'm going to pick the soon-to-be-released Hello Saferide LP that I'm putting out. The vinyl is due to arrive on Friday, so order now and you might even get it by Monday. How awesome would that be? Also, be sure to note that I'm also taking preorders for the super awesome Razzia Christmas comp "Oh no... it's Christmas!". Featuring brand new songs from the likes of Hello Saferide and Firefox AK with Tiger Lou as well as old holiday chestnuts from The Soundtrack of Our Lives and more! You know you need it! That's not all either - I've also got the new retrospective CD from Danish post-punk act De Må Være Belgiere as well as that new-fangled "Svenskt" compilation. What are you waiting for? Get shopping!

Tiger Lou has a nice fancy new website: http://www.tigerlou.net/
Wie geht es in Deutschland Rasmus?

Y'know that upcoming Christmas comp that Razzia is putting together? I've got a preview of the tracklist:

Firefox AK & Tiger Lou - Christmas Eve
Friska Viljor - Oh no! This is what I feared all along
Hello Saferide - iPod X-mas
South Ambulance - Hangin' in a tie
Suburban Kids With Biblical Names - Jullåten 2004
Laakso - Merry Christmas
The Tiny - No money (for X-mas)
Maia Hirasawa - You were all there
The Perishers - Blue Christmas
The Soundtrack of our lives - Jingle Hell (stuck in the chimney)
Consequences - Some kind of magic
Grande Roses - To bring X-mas back this year
Konie - Oh, yeah...it's christmas!
Dogday - Santa will never get there
Indiekören - Last Christmas
They Live By Night - Lucia (I deserve candles in my hair)
Dreamboy - Christmas kisses
Kristofer Åström - I saw mummy kissing Santa Claus

As you can see, some of these tracks are old and previously released (TSOOL for instance), but most are new and exclusive to this release. The exact order is still TBD and a few more tracks are due for submission, but I'll definitely be carrying it in the webstore when it's released on November 15.

Check out Pretty in Panic, the new musical project of Jenny Kellerman: http://www.myspace.com/prettyinpanic
Jenny (sister of Rasmus from Tiger Lou and sister-in-law to Andrea of Firefox AK) used to front the excellent low-key country act Dexter's Moon, but since that band is on hiatus, she decided to do something new. Mikael Bengtsson aka Juni Järvi produces and sings harmony on one of the songs posted. Rasmus Sandsten also contributes guest vocals as well.

MP3: Tiger Lou - Until I'm there

Today's the day! The new Tiger Lou 7" is available for ordering and I'm offering up the a-side "Until I'm there" as a free download. I had absolutely no expectations when I first started the label component of the It's a trap! empire back in 2004 with the release of KVLR's self-titled album, but here I am with release #4, my very first 7". Forget about all the various sound quality arguments, there's nothing like the touch and smell of fresh vinyl. Listening to record is a way more visceral experience than simply sliding a CD into a changer - you've got to pull it out of it's sleeve, find the proper side to listen to and set it on the turntable before firing it up and setting the needle in the groove to create sound. It's ritualistic and satisfying in a way that digital media can never compare to. I am incredibly honored and humbled to be working with a great talent such as Rasmus Kellerman and Tiger Lou. He's been one of my favorite artists for awhile now and he only gets better with each new release. So enjoy the mp3 and, if you like it, buy the record.
