I’d be lying if I said I never liked Mumford & Sons
I’d be lying if I said I never liked Mumford & Sons. In fact, their song Little Lion Man, discovered on iPlayer replays of Adam and Joe’s 6Music show hit me at exactly the right time. Not sure where I was going and what I was doing, that song proved a nice outlet with it’s pointy…

On a clear day…
A great track in Breaking Bad last night. Enjoyed this a lot. Might have missed a lot of pop being born in the second half of the eighties, but there’s nice drama series like Breaking Bad to get me up to speed, eh :). Check it on Spotify, or watch this YouTube thing below:

Here’s my weather of a killing kind
This June sees the release of the eagerly awaited (by me at least) album of the Tallest Man On Earth. The one time I saw him live easily takes the top spot in my fictional best solo gigs ever chart. Here’s a song he recorded for the Adult Swim Singles Program 2011. And if after watching…

My eye is my sanctuary
This song by Susanne Sundfør takes some plays before it hits you in the face and haunts you for the rest of the day. But believe me, it’s worth it. Can’t wait for the album. Out 26 March 2012.

Two Dragons
I can’t choose what song to post. First one has the most awesome bass riff. Second one is very catchy. Great folk pop rock from… Estonia? Two dragons of songs in the year of the dragon… From Ewert and the Two Dragons.

If you’re craving something more than whats been given to you
Pete Lawrie mostly made an impact on me with his low-key, emotional songs. His debut (A Little Brighter) had a bit too much strings to resonate and made an impact. This however, is a totally different beast. It’s called Taste of Silver. And I like what it’s doing to my subwoofer.

Only need one more link for my chain
So I spent a lovely, lovely weekend in Groningen these last days. Besides catching up with friends I also experienced a lovely evening full of music. First, my good friend Mischa opened the night with Patrick, who then went on to perform with Harry Bird as Harry Bird & The Rubber Wellies. A nice guy…

Waiting to sail your worries away
I watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang a lot when I was young. It was already ancient (compared to me at least) when I was young, but my uncle put in on a VHS-tape for me along with a musical Disney film that was certainly less awesome (it didn’t have a flying car, which I thought…

In Session: To Kill A King – “Graduates Escape” (The Crypt Sessions)
I first saw a band named Kid iD in 2008 in Folkestone, supporting my favourite band. I bought their CD because I really liked them (the CD was called That Dreaded Monster What If, which I liked as a title). After another EP the band dropped their band name, some instruments and decided to aim…
