It's alive!

For sure it seems like this blog has died. There are lots of excuses, but none of them quite cut it. So the few readers I have had so far, might be gone by now.
But if you are still here, or quite new to my blog: I urge you to check out the latest from Danish Choir of Young Believers, "Under the moon", who will debut 1. of September.
"Under the moon" is quite different from what I have heard so far, not quite as "big and loud", but it also has this special COYB melancholy feeling to it.
If you are quite new to COYB please check out the rest as well. "Next Summer" is getting lots of airplay on Danish national radio P3, which is nice, but lately their playlist has been quite numbingly dull and repetitive.

Also Tiger Tunes are sharing some interesting demos and stuff at their HP.

More americana

I swear it's a coincidence that I only seem to write about American music lately.

It's bad for the trade balance, but since the Americans are in recession and the Danish economy is at it's peak - it's only fair and sensible to promote American music.
Fleet Foxes is minimalistic music from Seattle. I like White Winter Hymnal, weird when it is 20 Celsius outside I guess.
Go listen, please.

I'm not big on commercials, anyone who has ever watched television with me would know that. The reasons are obvious, but once in a little while something clever or beautiful turns up on in this annoying part of our lives. Warren Ellis made the music or score or whatever they call it.

Better write this before I collapse... I didn't go to bed until 6 am this morning because of a paper due...
I only have two recommendations. Why don't you listen to the new stuff from this band? I don't know if you have heard of them they are called Coldplay or something like that?
No, really I want to give attention to the band "AU" from Portland in the US of A. Börneblogger introduced me with the track RR vs D. that is no less then bliss of piano, singing, clapping and tooting. I am won over, I will no longer put up a fight... Perfect for spring in Denmark. I am going to put it on my stereo and drive my neighbours mad.
Second up is new stuff from Slaraffenland claiming to be a machine and who am I to disagree. You make up your own mind what to think.
Stay jolly. A.

Efterklang and Morgenthaler

Morgenthaler redeeming himself by making this Efterklang video.

Princess

I am a big fan of the comic strip Wulffmorgenthaler, made by Mikael Wulff and Anders Morgenthaler. (click the strip to read the text, unless you have very good eyes)
So I had my hopes up last night, when I had the opportunity to watch Anders Morgenthaler's animated film Princess. Sadly it was a let down, the grotesque, morbid and sometimes ironic comment on society of the comic didn't translate into pictures in motion.
Morgenthaler wants to show us how pornography, child molestation and prostitution - which is one and the same in his world, is very bad - made by bad men and exploiting women. On the other hand we have violence in the style of maybe Kill Bill, preformed by a Christian on the rouse of revenge (very odd combination), but is otherwise not given the ability to show emotion. The story is filled with cliches, barely has any surprises in store and made me laugh in places I clearly shouldn't have.
Some call it a necessary and shocking film, clearly they live in a world where media doesn't show this harsh reality. I have no need for poorly explained violence and emotional simpletons, Hollywood have them in plenty.

cats and cats and cats

You like post-rock?

I wish all their songs was like this one, but they are not. :(
