Og andet radio...

Okay. New show rule: I will never again attempt to re-broadcast streaming audio from my computer. If you catch me doing this, call me on it. Make me stop -- or, better yet, don't let me start. It's tempting sometimes, but it's bad, very bad. I've tried it several times before and it's always yielded poor results -- shoddy at best; disastrous at worst.

Anyway, what this means -- there will be no more playing stuff off myspace or last.fm -- so, if you are a band, and you want me to play your new song, unless it is available for download or I appear to have otherwise acquired it (radio stations are sometimes good that way) send it to me -- somedayashtrays@gmail.com. I love getting stuff. And if you send me stuff, chances are I'll play it -- even if I would have given no thought to your stuff before.

In more pleasant radio-related news -- Radio LXMBRG (pronounced Luxembourg), from Sweden, has a new song, Feel the Heat, up. It's from their upcoming album, Trivial Matters, which unfortunately won't be released until September. However, you can hear it on their myspace, where you can also download three earlier tracks, including one of my favorites, It's Cruel Up North. And they've got two videos. And, I believe, you can preview their debut album in its entirety here -- always nice.

Their sound (on It's Cruel Up North especially) is a sort of dance-type-thing infused with old-fashioned pop/rock sensibilities. Thanks to the lead singer's Jim Morrison-like voice, they sound something like what the Doors could have been, had they gone disco. I mean that in a good way.

It's Cruel Up North (Radio LXMBRG) -- this is a two-click download, because it's from myspace, and myspace downloads do not link here. Undskyld.
