…another year over and a new one just begun…
ok, a bit premature, but the yearly spirit of catharsis is in the air, whatever you want to call it. btw, santa, just in case you are passing by this way, here’s top of my wishlist (sorry, i appear to have slumped into gadget-geek mode).

Northern Lights IV - A Cowboy in Sweden
August 20th, 2007
You may have heard that Lee Hazelwood, the man behind ‘These boots are made for walking’ and several productions with and for Nancy Sinatra, sadly passed away earlier this month. You may not have heard the ‘Cowboy in Sweden’ album he recorded with Nina Lizell for Swedish television in 1970. And if that’s the case, […]

my ignorance means little in the […]
The Rakes - a one-song rip-off band?
August 18th, 2007
“open book” seemed to be plastered all over the radio a year ago. and quite rightly so - the riff was one of the catchiest of the summer. their dead-pan delivery and lyrics for the common man could frame The Rakes as a modern-day Pulp.

December 20th, 2006
