Great post, and great point about year-end “bottom ten” lists, from our favorite battery type (that’s AA, you fiends; get your minds out of the gutter): Come on, if a movie was that bad, any lay person would have avoided it. It’s nothing we’re longing to erase from our memories. We figured out not to [...]
Top Ten Albums of 2009
10. Loney Dear – Dear John Dear John was the first album I heard this year that made it onto this potential list. It also opened a great year for Sweden and all the amazing acts that are calling it home. Emil Svanangen turns a bit more to his darker and depressed side on this [...]
[Video] Loney Dear – “I Was Only Going Out”
Seeing as currently Loney Dear’s Dear John is on my top ten list for the year I feel that it’s my duty to post the new video for the track “I Was Only Going Out”. The video is definitely a little more, I don’t know, experimental? confusing? than Emil’s previous videos. It depicts a women [...]
La tarea de Fred, or, All apologies to our host in advance
I flung corn at Patrick. He turned around and flung some back. I liked his answers. He’ll hate mine. Assignment: listen to The Cave by Mumford & Sons.

This year has already seen a slew of fantastic music hit the air waves. So far 2009 seems to be looking like the best year of music we have had since 2006. But who knows, we’re only 5 months in and music could take a massive nose dive. Let’s all hope not. Here are just [...]
World Tour: Sweden
Since this blog doesn’t have enough segments already I would like to throw one more in the loop along with My Space Mining, New Music Tuesday and Find of The Week. In the World Tour segment I will be selecting a different country in the world to inform you fine readers of the great acts [...]
Enough With the Vinyls Already!
I wasn’t a child of the vinyl age but I was a child to parents of the vinyl age (I think that makes me a child of the vinyl age twice removed or something). I was raised listening to Abba, The Bee Gee’s and Franky Valley and the Four Seasons on vinyl so I can [...]
