Monday is Labor Day here in the US, so I'm hoping to spend it as far away from the computer as possible. But I won't leave you empty handed - check out our review of the new Division of Laura Lee album "Violence is timeless" or read my interview with Swedish expat artist Theresa Andersson. Regular updates will resume tomorrow.

If you haven't checked out our new netrelease from Racingpaperplanes, well what are you waiting for? Get right to it: [click here]
Two exclusive new songs, 100% free to you. Pass it on!
MP3: Racingpaperplanes - The oars
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present to you a brand new netrelease on the IAT.MP3 netlabel from artist Racingpaperplanes aka Gbg-based songwriter Richard Wilson. We've been in touch on and off over the years, talking about all sorts of things such as our mutual appreciation of heavy metal, but don't let that scare you off as Racingpaperplanes is anything but! We both appreciate metal, but we also love country music and this new single "The oars" has got the twang. It's also got some fantastic wordplay - just listen to how he twists the words of the title into words of devotion. It's a beautiful little number, soft, sweet and sombre. Then, on the b-side, Richard gives us something a bit more on the rockier side, but you'll have to head to the download page to grab that one. And don't forget to snag the the sleeve while you're at it! Enjoy and please, feel free to spread the music around!

Yep, that's right! It's the new Christian Kjellvander live album recorded with his wife Karla-Therese (a fine musician on her own, I might add). I'm not sure I'm supposed to be selling these yet, but screw it! Act first, apologize later! Tack Fredrik!

My goal is to put together a new MySpace roundup article every week, but obviously that doesn't seem to happen as planned. But! I did come through this week: [click here]
If you happened to be listening to SR P3/P4 this morning at 5:40am Swedish time and heard someone rambling about Swedish music, yes, that was me. Sorry I didn't post a heads-up, but it kinda came together at the last minute, so go here for the archive: http://www.sr.se/cgi-bin/p4/nyhetssidor/sandningsarkiv.asp?programID=2689
Big thanks to Johan Åkesson for making it happen!
