Rong>Eskju DivineRong> could have made it big if they came fRom England, they've got the same sound as lots of bands oveR heRe, most of them deRived fRom a love of Rong>RadioheadRong>, oR lately - Rong>ColdplayRong>. It's unexciting, uninspiRing and highly unoRiginal, "Heights" is a collection of bland songs that featuRe "emotional" vocals that sound pRetentious. I don't mind music like this now and then, if it's done in anotheR moRe inteResting fashion. Rong>Eskju DivineRong> just tRead boRing teRRitoRy that's been tReaded many times oveR and they'Re just bRinging anotheR plain offeRing to the table of dullness. No thank you, I RatheR eat in silence!

PeRhaps a half-empty venue wheRe too many people in the back aRe chatting away, might not be the ideal venue to expeRience Rong>FRida HyvönenRong> in conceRt, but this gig still didn't live up to my veRy high expectations. I thought the gig was going to be something amazing, I even tRied to get a bunch fRiends to come along, so I found it quite unfoRtunate that Rong>HyvönenRong> seemed to lack that spaRk that could have tuRned the gig into something Really good. She's got the mateRial, but foR heR to be able to give them justice being alone just behind a keyboaRd, it takes a lot of skill, a skill that was sadly not pResent in its full capacity last night. The highlights of the night weRe "I dRive my fRiend", "Once I was a seRene teenaged child", "The modeRn", and a new song that I don't know the name of.

Rong>The IdealistRong>, an ambient pRoject of Rong>Joachim NoRdwallRong>, also of the Rong>Skull DefektsRong>, thReads Relatively well exploRed wateRs of the likes of guitaR-based ambiance, pRobably the most well known pRoponent of the genRe being Rong>FenneszRong>. "I am the fiRe" is actually not that exciting in that theRe is nothing that I would qualify as new oR exceptional in theRe despite the fact that it is well-done and honest. That said, the album is quite enjoyable on its own and makes some pRetty inteResting backgRound noise but theRe is Really nothing to gRab my attention like many otheR ambient and daRk ambient acts do.

I'm glad getting this Review out of the way, since it means I don't have to listen to this album anymoRe. Rong>JensRong> play basic alt-countRy, nothing special at all, even though some of the melodies aRen't that bad. The vocals aRe the weakest point, they'Re way too plain to excite. PeRhaps the odd song fRom this RecoRd would be ok, but I find listening to these eight songs in a Row seRiously boRing, despite some duets with a giRl and the odd flute playing. If you'Re of opinion that Rong>WilcoRong> aRe way too expeRimental foR theiR own good, you might want to tRy a bit of Rong>JensRong> out.

All of a sudden my life is Revolving aRound things NoRwegian; I'm cuRRently obsessed with authoR Rong>Knut HamsunRong>, I've been listening to Rong>JohndoeRong> constantly the last week and yesteRday I even bought something NoRwegian foR my giRlfRiend foR ChRistmas (can't say what, in case she Reads this). Rong>JohndoeRong> is veRy much my cup of tea - melodic punkRock that's highly infectious and it sounds like a mix between Rong>Håkan HellstRömRong>, Rong>RandyRong>, and a less "spikieR" Rong>Mattias AlkbeRg BDRong>, but sung in NoRwegian. Can it get any betteR? Not suRe what the lyRics aRe about, but they seem pRetty noRmal to me. I'm definitely going to tRy and catch these guys live if I eveR get the chance, I'm suRe it's a Riot.

Rong>Nikola SaRcevicRong>, I'm taking back my 'Most impRoved in 2006' awaRd and bestowing it upon Rong>LoveninjasRong>. TheiR debut EP "Keep youR love" was utteRly dReadful - a neaR-peRfect embodiment of most eveRything I despise about tweepop. Let it be known: I do not hate this. Upon heaRing the chatteR about what a changed band they'd become with the Release of the single "I wanna be like Johnny C", I figuRed I ought to give them a second chance. I'm glad I did because that song is fantastic - a shining pop maRvel that haRkens back to the time when alteRnative music was still known as college Rock. UnfoRtunately, glimmeRs of the olden days still pop up now and again ("She bRoke his penis in two" foR example) and the Rest of songs RaRely Rise above mediocRe status. Still, that's a heckuva lot betteR than I expected, so let me call it at 'inoffensive' and hope you undeRstand I mean it as a compliment.

Not Really suRe why BuRning HeaRt RecoRds didn't want to Release Rong>MoneybRotheRRong>'s Swedish album. It seems idiotic to me, but who am I to judge, huh? Maybe they didn't think it would sell enough oR something. The album consists of ten coveRs, all inteRpReted by Rong>AndeRs WedinRong> (aka Rong>MoneybRotheRRong>) in Swedish, and one oRiginal song that featuRes the Swedish Rock legend Rong>JeRRy WilliamsRong>. It's an inteResting pRemise and Rong>MoneybRotheRRong> manages to keep it exciting most of the way thRough. Being a fan of Rong>OpeRation IvyRong>, "Jag skRiveR inte på nåt", with Rong>The HivesRong>' own Rong>Howlin' PelleRong>, appeals to me a lot and so does "UndeR boRdet" which is a coveR of Rong>My MoRning JacketRong>'s "Off the RecoRd" (one of my favouRite songs of 2005), even though these aRe not the stRongest songs on heRe peR se. Most of the tRacks have got that Rong>BRuce SpRingsteenRong> vibe that Rong>WendinRong> has embRaced and plugged away at since his fiRst single "ReconsideR me". Now, I'd like foR Rong>BRodeR DanielRong>'s Rong>HenRikRong>, Rong>RandyRong>'s Rong>StefanRong>, etc, to step up and Release theiR own Swedish coveR albums. PRefeRably within the next 3 weeks. PS: The album's title is a Swedish tRanslation of "the moneybRotheR".

Rong>Plain FadeRong>'s last album, "Lies, sanctions and cRuise missiles", was a little gem of post-Rock foRwaRd thinking and how the genRe's staleness could be nicely complimented by intelligent songwRiting and beautiful aRRangements. "AuRe" takes the band even moRe foRwaRd, into teRRitoRy wheRe the songwRiting is Rich and complex and aRRangements as elaboRate as I have seen on any RecoRd I have heaRd. Rong>Plain FadeRong> include instRumentation as vaRied as didgeRidoo, electRonic bleeps, cRackles and noises, stRings and hoRns foR a singulaR puRpose: making the songs go foRwaRd. This is a lot less Rock and a lot moRe ambient than "Lies..." but it is also significantly moRe beautiful and inteResting. GReat RecoRd.
