Kanye West  is undervalued. Yes, I’m serious – consider that he is on a run of albums (4) of such incredible output (both commercial and artisitic) that realistically the only comparisons that exist are The Beatles and Rolling Stones. No other acts I know of can lay claim to 4 number 1 albums over...

Not that it’s been gone for long, but since he did that Au Revoir Simone remix I’ve really had my strong feelings for Jens Lekman reawoken. I admit that he sometimes gets a little too sweet and naive for me, but in general I dig the honest straight forwardness in his music too much...

I’m obviously dead slow here since all the other blogs have been talking about it for the past two months, but since the obsession is now greater than ever I feel that I must share it with those of you who read this one. So far I’ve used every opportunity I’ve gotten to play...

On September 6′th something both sad and awesome is happening. The inevitable tribute album to David Bowie will be released which presumably means that he, after five decades and 24 full albums, is retiring.

I met Ulf and Ryan at Roskilde 2010 at Pavement’s, awesome, if under-appreciated, Sunday PM set.  I’ll drop a post on my thoughts on Roskilde in the coming days but...

After some months of traveling, nine blurry days at Roskilde Festival and in general way too many days spent away from The Internet, I think that we are slowly getting ready to start up the blog again, and what better way to do that than with an Au Revoir Simone remix from someone who’s...

Last night I flipped on The Colbert Report to find that cult art-rock forefathers, Devo, were performing on the show. To this point I had forgotten that their new album, and first in two decades, was out this week and that Devo was once again alive. While I’ve yet to judge the album itself,...

Call me spoiled, but I remember when I would sit around and wait for the world to do something worth blogging about. Now, I stay away from my computer for two flippin’ months and when I get back way too much blog-worthy music has been released and I can’t possibly digest half of it!...

Some time ago Ulf professed his crush on the Swedish twins of Taxi Taxi! It is not hard for me to relate, and I’d like to elaborate. I am not usually a fan of the ‘female singer-songwriter’ sub-genre, mostly because these songs have little to do with me, and a lot to do with being...
