I figured I should add a few words to my favourites from the past year. And I suddenly remembered two more albums I feel needed mentioning. They are in no particular order (ranked or alphabetical).PJ HARVEY - WHITE CHALKOh, I love her guitarplaying, so why do I dig this so much? Well, she's really going out on a limb here. I always respect artists who dare to challenge themselves. Like allowing...

My recent post on the whole Radiohead discussion really resulted in some interested comments. Thanks, folks! Articles on the band's decision have also made it to the Danish newspapers, obviously, and so far critics of Radiohead have been quoted for good measure ("fair and balanced"), but a sympathy for the band - and not the business - has been at the core of every piece I've read so far. I gue...

Yeah, it's the band name. Figured I didn't need a clever title to grab someone's attention if they don't know the band already. The band name alone should do the trick. Just a short post here to spread the word on this great band, because they are touring Denmark at the moment. And doing that very well, I suspect. A superb live act which I hope to catch some time at the end of their tour - at ...

Radiohead's surely the talk of the town these days for allowing people to pay nothing for downloading their new album "In Rainbows". A gutsy move - and I would say more than a we-did-it-first marketing gimmick. A bold statement, yes. Someone big had to try it out. I hindsight, it being Radiohead seems natural, logical. Throwing a wrench in the corporate engine, giving hardcore capitalism a pun...

"I realize the reason I like playing records (as opposed to CDs) is that they're short: they stop after 20 minutes. I want less music." Brian Eno wrote that in his published diary "A Year With Swollen Appendices" in 1995. A quote I have never forgotten. I guess, another writing of the good ol' "quality over quantity" deal. PJ Harvey's brand new album "White Chalk" is a fine example of this. Fi...

I just uploaded a major feature on the SOPA site from our latest label night. Some really great blackn'n'white photographs by Steffen "Jint" Jørgensen and a lot of live videoes from all the different performances. Yeah, spoken word, nursery rhymes, old school dirty rock'n'roll, feedback noise with drum machine mayhem and believe it or not... some kind of acid house.It's all along this way...ww..

That wonderful Scout Niblett is on the move again. The first single "Dinosaur Egg" is already out and the album, "This Fool Can Die Now", is out on October 15th. She starts touring the US in October and then crosses the pond to the UK and the rest of Europe. Already got my ticket for the Copenhagen show (at Loppen in Christiana). Curious about the whole album. The single is great and the new s...
