Danish rocks:

MC, can you tell me who sings the song in your 2nd May post?

Sure sure, José Gonzalez, a Swedish guy, he has been quite big for a while, used to be more dancy, mellowed down a lot. He is currently
busy in Junip, another Swedish project (Junip is a great strong rhythm stuff, I love it for commuting and moving around).

It's a beat thing I am hooked on this for. His previous music was not as subtle, but also popular, esp. in indie dance places, movies use him a lot, chillax night radio programs, etc.

You will probably like this.

A fab track by GBV, for a sunny bank holiday morning

What keep me company over books at night, very loyal tunes.

I'm so loving this band and their latest "Echo Street" release. Great gig in Pratteln a couple of weeks back.

This is from their first album:

Just in time for Eurovision!

For you Music Chick :



They're playing at the Open Air Festival in St. Gallen this summer

End of July I think...

I'm evidently the opposite of a hipster, because I get excited about songs way AFTER they're cool. So this is my song of the night:

As if being an astronaut wasn't cool enough, Chris Hadfield (Commander of the International Space Station) really can sing and play guitar. Forget the novelty value of recording the guitar and vocals in space; this cover is genuinely brilliant. David Bowie described it as "possibly the most poignant version of the song ever created" -- it sent shivers up my spine.

Riff Cohen and Metropolin

Thanks! You're right, I do. Great music.

Thanks, Jenny, they are cool. I like his solo stuff, too. It's poetic.

Here is a track I found today.

Oh man, this is what it's about:

This is the worst YouTube video in the world...but a good summer evening song.

Saw this group in concert while I was on holiday in Wales a couple of weeks ago - they are well worth a listen.
