The 10s for 2010

For me, 2010 was one of the best years of my entire life. So many great events occurred in 2010, but none as important as marrying my love Abby. The music was great too. Each post will contain a list of 10 songs with somewhat of a theme. Don’t think too hard. I’m not very [...]

The end of the beginning

Quite a year. At least that’s the feeling from behind this laptop. Nine+ months of expectation led to the fruitful delivery of what is now a wonderful smiling bundle of puke and poop. I can safely say I’m having a time like no other in my life. Other new adventures this year include a foray [...]

One for the girls! (mostly)

I didn’t plan to make a compilation with just Swedish women. I just stumbled on all these good tunes, either by Swedish solo artistas or by Swedish bands with a female lead singer. Here is some very important information : ) Little Dragon are currently supporting Gorillaz on tour. The band’s Swedish-Japanese singer Yukimi Nagano [...]

Best of the blogs for 2009

Here it is – getting on the 2009 teary nostalgia tip like a bunch of other Poprounders (thug wife, doc and yari, who covered the whole noughties). Most of these tracks have been hacked off the blogs I monitor. Definitely veering on the side of taught electronic production, and me like all the other bloggers [...]

Best of 2009

you know the year has flown by when you have to check the song to make sure it’s the right year…saying that it’s been a great year for good music not to mention decade (ooh that might mean another compilation to follow!!). SXSW 09 really set the tone for the year so much that we [...]

Pop Rocks for 2009

I’m over a week into 2010, but here is my best of 2009.  I have seen about 80% of the groups on this play list, and the hope is to see the rest in 2010.  My highlights would be The XX and Yacht.  Notable omissions for ‘09 would be the Silversun Pickups, Muse, the bay [...]

Northern Lights XVIII

Imagine a sufi version of Animal Collective’s ‘My girls’, sung by Victoria Bergsman (previously the singer of the Concretes and the female voice on Peter Bjorn & John’s ‘Young folks’) – how amazing would that be?! This is exactly what Victoria did – she went to Pakistan, found a group of sufi musicians and recorded [...]

The Bear Quartet vs The Fall

I’ve had this compilation in my head for over a year, so I’m really pleased to finally put it somewhere else. Not sure why these two bands merged in my mind – musically they don’t have a great deal in common, apart from being filed in the ‘indie’ or ‘alternative rock’ section. I suppose what [...]
