Swedish punks Förmögenhet (ex-Hanna Hirsch) haven't been around very long - they have a 7" and have performed live once, but they're already working on compiling a tribute album. Not everyone is 100% confirmed yet, but names so far include Suis La Lune, Viktor Sjöberg and Monorail. More details when I get 'em, otherwise expect a springtime release.
Swedish rockerts Diamond Dogs are working on a 6-track Sam Cooke tribute entitled "Cookin'" to be released via Jerkin Crocus.

MP3: E-Type - True believer
I know it's insipid, cliché, predictable, and entirely ridiculous, but I can't help it - I love big, dumb, Hi-NRG Europop techno. If I believed in such a thing as guilty pleasures, this would surely qualify. I'm not gonna tell you that the new E-Type album "Eurotopia" is "good" in the usual way, but it's successful at doing exactly what it sets out to do. It won't change your life, but it might liven up your next party. There's no pretension, just pure bombast. Don't think, dance.
