Viikate - Marraskuun lauluja II

The one and only schlager metal band. They’re awesome.

Ryuichi Sakamoto - Beauty
Chitose Okashiro - A Leaf: Beatles Piano Transcriptions
Thao Nguyen - Like The Linen
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
Iron & Wine - The Shepherd’s Dog

I’m trying to get into music the same way I get into movies.

i’ve been listening to a lot of BAZRA, a good japanese rock band (:

I’ve been really enamored with the new Sambassadeur disc. Swedish indie-pop of the finest variety. Between this, The Mary Onettes, The Radio Dept., and Club 8, Labrador Records can do no wrong.

I have only a few bands on my Ipod atm:

Duke Ellington
Captain Beefheart
Modest Mouse
Malk de koijn (danish rap band -> best rap on earth)
Röyksopp
Slagsmålsklubben
Gorillaz
The good the bad and the queen

This though, is not what i listen mainly though. I’m a hardcore BitPop fan.

Mostly these days have been filled with the following:

NoFX “Wolves in Wolves’ Clothing”
Bad Religion “Empire Strikes First”
Said Radio “Tidal Waves and Teeth”
Tiger Army “Music From Regions Beyond”
Rancid “B Sides and C Sides”
Dag Nasty “Can I Say”

Slow on the Music Last Year, but my 2 favourite albums were

The Radiohead album “In Rainbows” and
The New Pornographers “Challengers”

both ridiculously listen able pleasures.

Picked up the debut disc from Promise and the Monster, Swedish girl on the same label as Jose Gonzalez.  Really good stuff ...

I am listening to Foo Fighters…
