Yesterday was great -- saw El Perro del Mar and Anna Ternheim play a short in-store set, then five nice bands at the Modern Age, and someone (obviously confused) said I was actually dancing. That, and the weather was magnificent. It still is, and that's why I'm not going to write anything more, or anything in Danish -- sitting inside with a hot computer in my lap when it's this nice outside just sort of offends my sensibilities. So does having to leave for work in an hour -- although I consider that more along the lines of cruel and unusual punishment...
I will say one more thing now, though, because it ties in. Something else that has been great this week: It's A Trap! Usually a lot of the music that appears there is a bit heavy for my tastes. However, the other day, the mp3 feature was Little Jimmy Reeves' awesome Romance on Drugs (which you can still download there.) It's an older song, but apparently didn't see official release until late March. This is what I wrote the first time I heard it, ages ago:
Oh. My. God. This is so good. A love song to drugs. Gorgeous.
Also on It's A Trap! this week, the announcement of a new Sincerely Yours release. It's Skimret by Nordpolen, and despite the arctic name (it means the North Pole) the music has a very summery sound. It reminds me a lot of labelfellows Air France -- the only difference is that the words are in Swedish and sung in a distinctly male voice. However, if you like the Air France, I can't see any way you wouldn't love this, too. Especially appropriate for now weather. Stream at myspace, or purchase through Sincerely Yours.
P.S. Ando hosted my Friday radio show. I haven't listened to it yet, but if you would like to, it's on my archive page, too.
