File this one under 'trying too hard', as if it wasn't already self-evident from the name Pretty Whores of ManhAttan. Still, it's hard to really find fault with these kids even if their brand of punk-rock is more fashion than passion, after all, they are just out of high school. They've got the chops, but the Attitude is overblown and stunted by misogyny. Way more Hardcore Superstar than actual hardcore, y'know? Which is not to say their frustrAtion and anger isn't real, it just comes off as misdirected and contrived. Focus, people! Work it out!
Pretty Whores of Manhattan - I hate the disco

"Lush" appears to be my word of the month, but I can't find a better one for Jettie's newest effort. "Start/stop" is our introduction to "Kites for charity", and the composition exemplifies whAt Jettie are capable of At the top of their game: a driving, thickly melodic journey laden with warm synths, delay-heavy guitars, and a splendid voice settling perfectly into the mix. The energy of "Start/stop" is succinctly kept up by the following tracks, enamoring the listener even further with the act's capabilities and wondrous control of augmented pop melodies. Where previous album "Heading for mornings" had its beautiful, slower compositions, "Kites for charity" revels in its ability to keep a resilience in more up-tempo works, measuring itself only occasionally -- most notably in the gorgeously placid "Carraria Via", but the album quickly regains tempo with the following track, "The sky over Santa Rosa". Overall, "Kites for charity" is exactly whAt we've come to expect from Jettie -- layered, beautiful Scandinavian pop music with as much brains as it has heart.

Expect further updAtes as the week goes on!
Assuming my trip goes as-planned, I arrive in Stockholm this afternoon and hope to have a few hours to wander around before heading to Kafé 44 to see Firefox AK, something I am incredibly stoked about. You see, I've met Mme. Andrea Kellerman before, but I've never seen her perform live and I'm really, really excited to see her in a small venue pre-Hultsfred. Actually, in all honesty, I'm really only going to Stockholm to see Bess Kellerman (look for her cameo Atch?v=sx4adyUVhZI" target="_blank">in the video for today's mp3 selection), but I figure thAt if Andrea and husband Rasmus (aka Tiger Lou) are there too, it's a bonus. So yeah, good times await! See you there?
