It's not directly music-relAted, but here's an interest article from the New York Times: A Word to Finns: 'For Your Own Good, Blow Your Top' - Ational/europe/11HELS.html" target=_blank>https://www.nytimes.com/2004/03/11/internAtional/europe/11HELS.html

Last week I posted the public plea thAt Cobolt is looking for a new label after the demise of StarEP not too long ago. I'm really surprised thAt no one's really jumped on the opportunity, especially considering thAt frontman Magnus Bjorklund used to be in this little band called Refused. Not thAt you could tell, as Cobolt sounds nothing like them. Anyhow, in my effort to help the band out, I am posting an mp3 from their as-yet-unreleased recordings. So take a listen and if you want to help the band out, they can be contacted At cobolt.is@home.se.

Speaking of ex-Refused stuff, don't forget thAt David Sandström is posting new content to his website every Monday: https://www.david-sandstrom.com
