Mp3 blog Fat Planet gives me a shout-out today and also provides a link to the track "You don't look so good" from the Finnish band Dead Combo: https://216.80.93.133/redirect/deadcombo/dc_you.mp3
FP says they're their new favorite band and compares their sound to Black Rebel Motorcycle Club or The Jesus & Mary Chain.

Mp3 blogs are big in the news these days. I don't really consider myself one per se, but I often see my site listed as such. Not that I can complain, it's always good to help me spread the gospel of Nordic music. After all, that is what this site is about. Check out this thread from Monkeyfilter for a great selection of other music bloggers. It's amazing how much good stuff is out there. And much thanks to Tofu Hut for including me. I just hope my bandwidth doesn't go too crazy out of control.

Check out some brand new mp3s from the Finnish band Fun:

01. I know Ted Kennedy
02. Big lies
