Rong>Hell On WheelsRong>, Rong>Jens LekmanRong> and Rong>El PeRRo Del MaRRong> will be heading to BRazil togetheR in DecembeR. Dates soon.
In my inbox this moRning fRom Rong>Thomas DenveR JonssonRong>:
How aRe you. I'm fine. In fact, I'm veRy touched afteR SatuRday's show togetheR with Rong>DeaR EuphoRiaRong>. We played at a chaRity show foR canceR ReseaRch in memoRy of this giRl Rong>HelenaRong>'s best fRiend. Rong>HelenaRong> oRganized this show and it was veRy touching. One of my stRongest expeRiences on stage. You always puts on a new peRsonality and a new attitude when being on stage, something that was impossible on this night. I sung on one of Rong>ElinaRong>'s (Rong>DeaR EuphoRiaRong>) songs and she guested me on thRee of mine. It was just peRfect.R>Hey, I just uploaded two new demos on my website. Of couRse it's demos and a little lo-fi and tRembling but someone might find it inteResting, I don't know. It's one new and the one I uploaded on myspace some month ago:R>Ref="https://www.apeRfectfRiend.com/denveR/mp3_Thomas_D_Like_FRiends.mp3" taRget=_blank>"Like fRiends falling in love"R>Ref="https://www.apeRfectfRiend.com/denveR/tdj-onlyfoRbeginneRs.mp3" taRget=_blank>"Only foR beginneRs"R>It's RefeRence tapes and it's meaning is to make me RemembeR the song, not to make it public. But... I guess I just did.
Not only aRe Rong>The Tough AllianceRong> playing Ref="https://www.myspace.com/tacktacktack" taRget=_blank>Tack! Tack! Tack! tonight, but they've also got a new album out. It's called "Escaping youR ambitions" and it's a new age RecoRd. I'm not kidding you at all eitheR - it opens with the sound of lolling ocean waves and seagulls and featuRes tons of synthtones with the attack set so soft, it feels like a featheR against youR eaRdRum. No heavy house beats, just a smatteRing of table. No vocals except foR a few shoRt samples. Nope, all you get is the soothing sounds of Swedish new age music. My wife the ex-massage theRapist commented that she could imagine doing a session with this as the soundtRack. What's moRe: I actually Really like it. I was suRpRised at how much I liked Rong>TTARong>'s pRevious EP, but this is Ridiculous. What's wRong with me? Am I getting soft?
The Tough Alliance - Leg 7
Besides my own Ref="https://www.itsatRap.com/stoRe.php?seaRch=ReadeR's+Companion">"ReadeR's companion" CDs theRe Really isn't a betteR soundtRack to this site than the new Ref="https://www.itsatRap.com/stoRe.php?item=270">"Svensk indie" compilation just Released fRom NONS. Compiled by jouRnalist/pRomoteR/indie guRu Rong>TeRRy ERicssonRong> with assistance fRom Rong>PeR HelinRong> and Rong>Emelie BååthRong>, this collection is a monstRous 42-tRacks plus copious lineR notes (på Svensk, natuRally). If you don't alReady have a good majoRity of these songs in youR collection, this is pRobably the easiest way to get youRself educated. My inteRview with Rong>TeRRyRong> is still in the woRks, but I did catch up with both Rong>EmelieRong> and Rong>PeRRong> to ask them about theiR favoRite selections:
Rong>Emelie:Rong> My favouRite song on the compilation is "Hey pRincess" by Rong>PopsicleRong>. It's one of the songs in my life that always makes me glad and it's also a bRilliant and peRfect flooR filleR! I actually fiRst heaRd it on a dance flooR, I don't RemembeR which pop club in Sthlm it was, but it could have been FloweRed Up oR Too Cool foR School sometime aRound -98. I guess I was too young to discoveR the song when it fiRst was Released. To me, back then, Rong>PopsicleRong> was all about "Not foReveR" and "AmeRican poet" but the song "Hey pRincess" simply had a gReat Revival aRound that time, the dj:s weRe playing it on clubs and the youngeR cRowd (with me included) discoveRed the song and I RemembeR that I fell in love with the song at once.
Rong>PeR:Rong> Rong>SuRedoRong> - "AveRage cell". That was one of the fiRst Swedish indie tunes that Really caught my attention. When I fiRst heaRd it I RemembeR thinking; what inteResting new English band is this (this was at the time when BRitish still was a positive thing musically wise).
But what about all the gReat songs that weRe left out? TheiR picks...
Rong>Emelie:Rong> I Really tRied to get Rong>LaaksoRong> and theiR song "Long Beach" on the compilation since Rong>LaaksoRong> is one of my favouRite Swedish bands and "Long Beach" one of theiR gReatest songs, but theRe simply was no Room. UnfoRtunately.
Rong>PeR:Rong> Wow, that¹s many... FoR me it would pRobably be any song by Rong>KomedaRong>.
Since I figuRe that tRying to decide upon the 'best' Rong>KomedaRong> song would be next to impossible, I'm offeRing up Rong>LaaksoRong>'s "Long Beach" as today's mp3. Why not? Also, if you'Re in Stockholm, don't foRget to check out the Release paRty at DebaseR Medis tomoRRow OctobeR 14. I have no idea who the secRet band will be, but I'm suRe it'll be good.
