Devotion

I close my eyes
And see you before me
Think I would die
If you were to ignore me
A fool could see
Just how much I adore you
I get down on my knees
I'd do anything for you

Daylights

and it looks like daylights
gonna catch me up again
most people like getting up
when I'm just getting in



Well, looks like I'm going again
I can't seem to believe myself
Here I go again here I go again
here I go again listen to me now
It's five o'clock am and the party
is still going strong, there's a
conversation going in the corner
Big Ed is all on the lawn
and the fm music is groovin'
folks getting down getting down
in their stocking feet
sleepy eyes are peeping
from the window across the street

and it looks like daylights
gonna catch me up again
most people like getting up
when I'm just getting in
oh its the only only time
it seems to be the only time
when I can unwind

Swore to myself, time and time
and time again that I would give
up the night life and start layin' in
but it ain't easy no no
sayin' no to my friends
cause the real cause the real
set don't get started till everyone
else is in

Lisa, Barry and Lisa

And while we are on the subject, reminding yall about Parkens Lisa:
Jag har varit vilsen, Lisa

In the news

Alone not alone

Running just as fast as we can
Holdin on to one anothers hand
Tryin to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground
And then you say

I think were alone now
There doesnt seem to be anyone around
I think were alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Karaktärsmord

Janne Josefsson försökte igår ge sig på ett karaktärsmord i SVT Debatt när Peter Sundhe var gäst.

Läs Peters version om programmet, The pirate bay och de omtalade bilderna från förundersökningen HÄR. Most required reading this week.

Vi har en ny komplicerad värld i och med Internet. Den är inte så ny för vissa människor, men för väldigt många andra. Kan all media omedelbart ta ett djupt andetag, bete sig som vuxna människor och samtala om det här i det offentliga rummet på ett konstruktivt sätt istället för att veva upp samma polariserade mediedramaturgiska grepp gång på gång?

R U S S I A

And as a sign from god we just found the site English Russia and especially the photo shoot Russian nerds party. What can the US possibly have to put up against this?

Damon

Used to be Blur and the UK had the best Damon around. Nowadays:


Over here in Europe, the big question is what to do if the US elects McCain as the next president. The logical conclusion is to abandon USA once and for all and support Russia 100% and focus all our energy to make Russia a stable democracy. If the american people want to go down the road of George W Bush, McCain et al, we cant stop them, it's their right. Maybe Russia could be more in tune with our European latte drinking way of life, if just some free speech and so on were added in their country. After all, they got our scandinavian style of drinking in Russia. How different can we be?

Ett inlägg i debatten

Två svenska låtar / Two swedish songs

Two swedish songs to kick-start the wednesday here for you, a day we call "small-saturday" in smaller swedish towns.

Parken is ace. You all know that. Iller was ACE. Iller was some kind of micro act during the 90s, seemed to have released only cassettes and featured on the super micro indie collection Skafferi. Iller - "Innan jag förstår" is a swedish classic, should have been a monster hit. We blame this on you P3. How could you miss this song? It should have been on the radio 24/7 for months! Here it is though, in all its spledour osv. etc. m m



Parken - Jag har varit vilsen, Lisa

Iller - Innan jag förstår

Den bästa svenska låten någonsin / The best swedish song ever

In our flexible series of Best swedish song ever the turn has come to Audionom - "Barnet"

Audionom - Barnet

Released 2001, it still feels like a secret. You can't really say "this rocks" nowadays can you? So we won't, we will just chase you down like a pack of crazy dogs and throw you off your single speed, fixed gear racer and beat you up while our boombox screams of Audionoms "Barnet". This is the sound of doomsday hardcore MF! This music creates new worlds.

It's available on Audionoms myspace as a download as well, so....YEAH.

Biker boy - September song

The summer is gone, this is the sound of autumn. Download, love and listen:
