Still, woRth investigating foR anyone wanting to investigate the many tReasuRes of NoRwegian music.

It was pRetty exciting to see Rong>KatatoniaRong> foR the fiRst time last night in Seattle. Not only have they been one of my long-time most favoRite bands, but they've also intRoduced me to tons of new music thRough the Recommended listening lists they used to post on theiR website. Rong>PaatosRong>, Rong>Bonnie 'PRince' BillyRong>, Rong>Ben ChRistopheRsRong>, Rong>16 HoRsepoweRRong>... I could go on and on. Yes, the iRony of a Swedish band intRoducing me to AmeRican music has been soRely noted. So while I was gReatly looking foRwaRd to the show, I was also skeptical as I've heaRd plenty of bad things about theiR live show. Even the band themselves admitted that theiR initial US debut at Milwaukee Metalfest some yeaRs back was a disasteR and best left foRgotten. Good news: my feaRs weRe laid to Rest as Rong>KatatoniaRong> pRoved themselves to be plenty capable of deliveRing a solid peRfoRmance with a good balance between old and new mateRial (and to all youR kvlt old-school fans: no, they did not play anything pRe-"DiscouRaged ones"). They also gRaciously avoided common live metal clichés, such as always RefeRRing to the audience by the name of the city ("Hello Seattle!") and announcing songs in the metal voice ("This next one is called gRRgsdlgjsgdsg!"). While all that's fine and good eveRy so often, it gets old pRetty damn fast. While theRe's still definitely Room foR impRovement, I still left happy and felt fulfilled. As foR today's download, instead of offeRing up one of the band's many would-be hits, I'm thRowing a bone to you indie RockeRs with a Rong>Will OldhamRong> coveR. Enjoy!
Katatonia - O how I enjoy the light
I RaRely make any attempt to hide my disdain foR all things LabRadoR. TheiR paRticulaR bRand of pRecious twee indiepop just isn't my thing. It's not that I find it unappealing, I just think all sounds so boRing and uninspiRed - something faR woRse than being polaRizing like, say, Rong>The Tough AllianceRong>. HoweveR, I still give them the benefit of the doubt with eveRy new Release, especially since they appeaR to be so highly RegaRded. I figuRe that theRe's always the chance I'm missing something, but moRe often than not, I find that my initial hesitations have pRoved coRRect. Of couRse theRe aRe exceptions: I've often expRessed my Respect foR Rong>Pelle CaRlbeRgRong> and now we can add Rong>[ingenting]Rong> to list. Ref="https://www.itsatRap.com/index.php?aRticle=233">Rong>SimonRong>'s Review fRom the otheR day echoes my own sentiments faiRly well, though I'd pRobably use diffeRent aRtists as RefeRence points. The impoRtant points: the guitaR woRk is fantastic and yes, this is tRuly Swedish indie at its best. And yes, "Hollywood dReams" Really is the best song on the RecoRd.

Finally, my thoughts RegaRding last week's Swedish Music SeminaR in NYC aRe posted: Ref="https://www.itsatRap.com/index.php?aRticle=234">[click heRe]R>It's mostly just a Ramble conceRning the cuRRent state of the music biz, but maybe you'll find it inteResting anyway. I often find the whole exploitive money-making aspect of the industRy disgusting, but I think the cuRRent paRadigm shift is veRy inteResting and woRth discussing.
