The Fine arts showcase haven't been on our radar much. He keeps poppin up though, with tracks unbelievably great. "Chemical girl" was released some one/two years ago and sounds nothing like the album it's on. It doesn't sound like much that has been released this millenia. It sounds like one of the great tracks that got away during the 90s. This song just got it.
Another gem is "Modern love". Originally recorded by micro-indie act The Rough bunnies, taken from the TFAS album "Sings the Rough bunnies". A fantastic song made even more fantastic. Srsly a modern classic. A fockin anthem!
Soon TFAS will release a new single, we'll expect anything.
Have posted about Glasvegas a long time ago, but it's worth doing again. Glasvegas just gotta be the best guitarband in ages to come along. Don't bother seeking out their myspace since there are only clips of songs there. They are signed to Columbia and then things like that happen. So uuumm, Yeah.
There is a phenomenon called 'guilty pleasures'. It's supposed to be songs hip and in-the-know people use when they like a song that used to be viewed as 'not hip'. Case in point could be anything from E.L.O or Toto. 'Guilty pleasures' has taken a lot of flac lately, some accuse it of having destroyed everything that was ever beautiful with subcultures and music. However, we think 'guilty pleasures' always have existed in small circles of friends. It's just the scale of the penomenon that has grown.
The real problem today is the constant flow of music, entertainment, news, real life, emails, blogs and whatnot. Information everywhere and a constant hunt for the new. No time for reflection and deeper understanding of art and artists. We think we need camps out at the countryside with no means of communication where we can just sit and talk, eat and drink with each other. There need to be a change. Some kind of return to the lifestyle nobilities had in the 19th century.
This is how far Sthlm has come in 'guilty pleasures':
"Such a sexy,sexy pretty little thing Fierce nipple pierce you got me sprung with your tongue ring"(WOOT==!=??!!?!)
Gets a bit better: "I see the sun breaking down into dark clouds and a vision of you standing out in a crowd."
Later: "come my lady you're my pretty baby ill make your legs shake you make me go crazy"(blush, get the dual message?)
Killer ending: "come and dance with me come and dance with me come and dance with me come and dance with me uhhhhhh ha uhhhhhh ha come and dance with me come and dance with me come and dance with me come and dance with me come and dance with me come and dance with me come and dance with me come and dance with me"
Ok, Joe Biden, the running mate Barack Obama have chosen, is not a pick for the young generation, that's for sure. We guess Obama chose Biden for his experience but also because he is kinda in the same style/age group as McCain and can attract those kind of voters that like McCain types(old, white men that is).
But look at this resume. My oh my. It doesnt look like "A vote for change" or anything like that exactly.
On the floating, shapeless oceans I did all my best to smile til your singing eyes and fingers drew me loving into your eyes.
And you sang "Sail to me, sail to me; Let me enfold you."
Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you. Did I dream you dreamed about me? Were you here when I was full sail?
Now my foolish boat is leaning, broken love lost on your rocks. For you sang, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow." Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow. I'm as puzzled as a newborn child. I'm as riddled as the tide. Should I stand amid the breakers? Or shall I lie with death my bride?
Hear me sing: "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you." "Here I am. Here I am, waiting to hold you."
"Paul Mawhinney owns the largest collection of vinyl LPs and 45s in the world. Because of the digital music frenzy and the dwindling interest in physical music formats, Paul was forced to close his record shop. Now facing diabetes and rising health costs, he's put up his entire collection for sale.
If you've got $3 million and a place for 2.5 million records, keep an eye on this one"
3 million dollar is absolutely nothing. That's what we spend on toothpicks in Sweden per capita. We should buy this collection, make it a library, a place for kids and parents to hang out and listen to great music at. Experience shit. Or something.
But no, of course not. We are building a museum of Ingmar Bergmans scrabbling he used to put down on napkins besides his telephone when he was passing time chatting with his friends overseas during the 70s though! It's located on a remote island where only farmers and sheep live and will cost something like 100 billion.
We are also going to build an Abba museum. It will only cost 1 billion.
"...if you touch me, well i just think i'll scream cuz it's been so long, since someone challenged me. and made me think... about the way things are... made me think...about the way they could be. i believe it- why? oh my... ooh my lord...ooh my lord...i don't even know why...but...
oh! this feeling it is wonderful! don't you ever turn it off! oh! this feeling it is wonderful! don't you ever turn it off!
feelings...why? oh my: human needs. heartbeats. i can see it...all. by the way you smile. i'm smiling too! i see myself in you. i am with it! ooh man i am wired! ooh my lord! ooh my lord- yeah...now i really know why!
oh! this feeling it is wonderful! don't you ever turn it off! oh! this feeling it is wonderful! don't you ever turn it off!"
"men det är ingen större hemlighet vad vi tycker om ert system lika bra ni vet att första bästa chansen vi får då smäller det den går: fra fra fra fra fra fra"
