I gave a comment on some other postings and told my view about something. I also said that if someone was _interested_ he/she could give his/her _own views_, since I could find that interesting. So, what happened? Well, many of those who replied did it just to say that they were not interested!!?. You could have told that much more easily by just keeping quiet (you were quite good at keeping quiet when I politely asked for feedback on my reviews some time ago). Thereby we would have saved bandwidth and time and the whole thing would have just faded away without any fuss. Besides, am I the only one who feel uncomfortable about that way of trying to stop discussions - calling them pointless, meaningless, ridiculous, whatever. Perhaps there are people out there who have wise things to say but who are afraid of being treated like this and therefore _they_ keep quiet. In addition there are quite a lot of "discussions" here that I find meaningless. Like this "is C Af Uggla good or bad" thing. Where is that supposed to lead? It may be entertaining to read all the opinions but there is still only one way to find out what _you_ think and I dont think I need to say what that way is (but it is not through looking at her social background. This world has already seen enough of misery and suffering caused by prejudice). But then, if someone really finds this interesting to discuss, then what right do I, or anyone else, have to say that it is wrong of them to do it etc.? I dont like doing that and I dont like others doing it either. Also, some people only attacked me and my opinions without presenting something of their own. _That_ is pointless because it will only cause hard feelings, nothing else, and that is another thing I dont like. So, thats it! Guess this may sound like one of those morale lessons that usually ends sitcoms :-). Sorry if I upset someone. Flame this letter if you like but dont expect any reply. I have better things to do - like listening to demos, attending concerts, reading Anne Tyler or writing essays on the importance of mail servers being able to deal with Swedish characters - than to deal with such things at four in the morning. Now, lets trash this "discussion" and LETS GET BACK TO BUSINESS AGAIN, SHALL WE? :-) /Micke, still harrassing his neighbours with SAMIAM "You are freaking me out" ----------------------------- Date: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 20:10:05 +0200 From: Micke Rehnstrom Subject: Urban Turban live review A week ago I said that I was suspicious about this band. Some years ago I saw them for a few minutes and got the impression that it was more drug romance than music - weird-coloured spotlites and celebrations to Jerry Garcias (GRATEFUL DEAD) memory. Anyway, I was wrong. It was great. And, for once at Herrgarn, a huge and really nice audience too. Their music is old blues and rock n roll songs (by Ray Charles, Chuck Berry etc.) dressed in a mixed rock/oriental folk music disguise. May not sound very exciting but it was, and it was groovy as hell. One of those concerts when you find yourself, involuntarily, moving with the rhythm. Especially after a couple of songs, when two palestinian folk musicians joined the band, playing instruments I dont think I should try to figure out what they might be called (other instruments used: electric guitars, violin, bag pipe, harmonica, bass guitar, cymbals and a lot of others). And the vocalist sounded just like one of those old blues men (almost like Freddie Wadling but darker voice). This was also a good night to hear hilarious covers, like the palestinian folk version of Berrys "Too much monkey business". Up next week at Herrgarn: yes, it is: The most interesting "tour package of the year" IMO - Popstad 97, featuring CARPET PEOPLE, COBOLT and K-PIST /Micke ----------------------------- Date: Sat, 22 Nov 1997 01:59:24 +0100 (MET) From: aquadays@swipnet.se (Lisa & Martin) Subject: Re: music hints >Reiner wrote: > >Yeah ... in this context ... please give a non-scandinavian some hints >for scan-(indie)-music ?!

Their "singer" is a Neanderthal. They are also using many old Nordic symbols, coming dangerously close to what the nationalists call "national consciousness". Swedish bands I can recommend: Kent, Bob Hund, Blissful, Bear Quartet, Popsicle, Wellmeant, Pineforest Crunch, Petrol, Cardigans and The Tambureens.

I've heard 4-5 songs from their >self-titled one. "alle har en bakgrunn" "upp upp upp ner" or something >like that. Really great songs! Yes, almost all Bob Hund songs are great! The song you refer to as "Alle har en bakgrunn" is called "En pratstund" and it is the first song on BH:s latest album "Bob Hund", also known as "Omslag: Martin Kann". Actually, Bob Hund has made three records called "Bob Hund". The first one was a 6- or 7-tracker, containing masterpieces like "Allt pa ett kort", "Graslok, fagelsang", "Kompromissen", "Fem meter upp i luften" and "Fotoalbumet". This record is almost too good! If you haven³t heard it, go look for it right away! Their second record was an album. (Also called "Bob Hund" of course) It contains great songs like "Mer an sa kan ingen bli" and "Det skulle vara latt for mig att saga att jag inte hittar hem men det gor jag, tror jag". This one's not as good as the first one though. Then in 1996, they released the EP "Istallet for musik: forvirring", a masterpiece, followed by the previously mentioned latest album. So, which Bob Hund record is the best? All of them! Especially the first one!

Well, Bob Hund are gods. no, i don't mean a re-incarnation of the mighty Godz, but rather something so great that it deserves the inflation-ridden word "godly". Bob Hund has songs, they have the sound, and most importantly they are *amazing* live. most swedish bands are boring because the music and the people can almost always be explained with one word; "nice". ofcourse if you happen to like "nice", then you'll definately like everything ever made in sweden... and i don't mean that there'd be something wrong with "nice", i just prefer something with life, passion, edges, emotion, and maybe a little suffering... these swedish guys have never had to crawl in the mud, instead their parents pay their rent and their trendy Vans sneakers... but Bob Hund...

Of course, Bob Hund play neither krautrock nor teknopop, but they sure give me the feeling of having listened a lot to Kraftwerk. Jonas, the synthguy, has borrowed the ability for putting nice, cold but heartful synthtunes together and make them fit in perfectly with the rest. Some of the guitarstuff the fab guitarists play have a kind of robotic, absolutely-non-blues feel to it. So lovely. And there is actually once when Bob Hund really sound like Kraftwerk as well. The song "Horlurar" on the Dusseldorf-EP is a fantastic, monotic song with singing through a vocoder. With this, if you haven't noticed, I want to stress that musical influences can be present even if they are not clear or heard.

They let various bands host/choose the music for the shows. I recall among others Pavement, Sonic Youth and Mudhuney playing pretty far out alternative music on their respective shows. 120 minutes is crap even though they played Motorpsychos Starmelt some time ago. They should stop playing Oasis, Pulp etc and start playing Gbv, Polvo, Built To Spill etc. And of course much more Scandinavian music.

(Not Cardigans and Aqua) Well, they did stop playing OASIS quite a while ago and they have played both BUILT TO SPILL and GBV (mostly the "Bulldog skin" song, though). Quite a lot Scandinavian music too (KENT, BOB HUND, JAY-JAY JOHANSON, SLUDGE NATION, FIRESIDE, LARRY & THE LEFTHANDED, PANASONIC, 22-PISTEPIRKKO, CYBERMEN, PSYCHED OUT JANIS, WANNADIES, JIMI TENOR, BIOSPHERE, BJORK and more).

(Not Cardigans and Aqua) I completely agree with you on that one. Paul King did a wonderful job as the host (really!) and I didn't miss many shows back then. (Though I did of course miss a few shows I would have killed for - the one hosted by The Sundays and the two (or maybe three) ones where they played Slowdive videos - I have yet to see one!). I have never seen that Ecstasy of S:t Theresa video anywhere but on that show. And the complete "best of (insert year here)" shows were really filled to the limit with fantastic music. I taped the complete shows! Took me a while to get used to Toby Aimes (sp?) but he had his moments. But then it all got out of hand (most of the time - a load of MBV and Stereolab, a few glimpses of Circle, 22 Pistepirkko, The Bear Quartet and Fireside even - and one could be sure one got to see the latest Charlatans on the show whenever it was - made it all worthwile). I'm not sure if it was the Marilyn Manson special which they ran twice, or what, but I really never bothered to stay up late to watch the show after that. Taped it and fast-forwarded through the whole thing mostly.

(Not Cardigans and Aqua) well, this past tuesday they played as much polvo there is left to play, since they broke up after finishing the almost unbearably disappointing "shapes", in the form of helium (where ash bowie plays bass guitar). per and, btw, i totally agree with me micke when it comes to what to discuss here. for once, there was a real chance of actual brain use while ex- changing views and opinions on a topic very much concerning scandinavian indie bands, in opposition to the usual "oh, help, band x and band y are playing on the same night but at different venues, what to choose, what to choose?!" ----------------------------- Date: Sun, 23 Nov 1997 02:05:21 +0100 From: Erik Soderstrom Subject: Re: Lemonator/state of independence Kimmo Saaskilahti wrote: > We have Finnish Lemonator who are signed to Warner Finland now, I heard a rumour stating that they are not on Warner any longer, but I'm not sure if it is true. Maybe somebody out there can confirm this? Hmm, last I talked to Lasse he said everything was okay. I believe they had recorded their second album (to be released on Warner) and had a few more songs they wanted to release as well, so they asked Warner if it was okay to release them on their own label (Grandpop) and they said they had nothing against it. So it seems like everything is okay between them and Warner, though that was last week, and things move quickly in the music business (sometimes) so who knows? I'll see what I can find... //Erik ----------------------------- Date: Sun, 23 Nov 1997 02:15:26 +0100 From: Erik Soderstrom Subject: Re: Mouth At 13:02 1997-11-21 +0100, jonas nilsson wrote: >I just heard from a friend who has been down in Spain playing golf that >he ran into Fredrik Joelsson the singer of MOUTH down there.

I suspect most of you know Fredrik worked together with Pedro Almodovar (sp?) a few years back, and he planned to go to Portugal to continue to work with film. I wonder who Mans is, and who's in the band, and what the band is called, and if they are signed, and and and... Anyone?
