Finnish gothpop plague The Rasmus will release their new single "Livin' in a world without you" on September 12 as both a 2-track single and 4-track MCD. Oh, and the track was co-written with 80s rock also-ran Desmond Child, so you know it'll be something special. Look for the band's new full-length album "Black roses" to follow on September 26.

Kaizers Orchestra will be releasing a special, vinyl-only live album culled from various performances on the band's recent German tour. Look for them to be selling at gigs this fall.

There will be a new digital EP from Datarock on August 26 featuring four different versions of the old track "Computer camp love", including two remixes from Devo and the video. Sounds kinda worthless to me, but then again, I'm not a fan so make of it what you will.

If you happened to be listening to SR P3/P4 this morning at 5:40am Swedish time and heard someone rambling about Swedish music, yes, that was me.

Big thanks to Johan Åkesson for making it happen!
