Hmm, maybe that was a too strong word, but remember: i didn't compare them musically-wise, just judging from the way they talked during the interview. And that reminded me of Tori Amos, somehow.

How about Circle and 22 Pistepirkko, do they have UK deals as well? I really don't know if The Bear Quartet do, but as they have made a Peel session, I think I can see a connection in there somewhere. > Does anyone remember the show which preceded 120 Minutes titled "Away From > The Pulsebeat"?

Heh, yeah I remember, but I guess the next time I'll have the time to go to Stockholm is when hell has frozen over. I work for about 10-12 hours a day (weekends as well starting next month). So I don't think I'll be able to go anywhere before, say June next year (and then I mean the Hultsfred and Roskilde festivals where I'll work...)

Yeah, I was sitting at a pub in Stockholm this summer (soldaten svejk, if anybody cares) when suddenly Jonas and Tomas walked up to me. They commented on the T-shirt I was wearing (Kraftwerk tour -91) and started to praise KW. They asked if i was going to the Body/synth party at the nearby club Grottan. Well, no, and neither were they... > And there is actually once when Bob Hund really sound like Kraftwerk as > well. Well, one of their new songs (Reinkarnerad exakt som forut) goes with an outro that is a smart rip-off/tribute from Kraftwerks Europe Endless. This is very obvious when heard live. You know when the synth goes round round in this nice little harmonic tune.

No, please guys, take that discussion outside the list if you want to continute. I for one can see the relevance in both discussions. So that piece of advice "if you're not interested in what others have to say, and have nothing to add to the discussion, why say anything about it at all?" is clearly needed here. And please try to respect other people's interests and views, even though yours might be different.

Because 120 minutes here >in the US is crap. Yeah, they are talking about MTV Europe and I absolutely second your feelings about the US version. I find it kindof pointless to even have a show like 120 minutes if it's going to be playing music which is allready in heavy rotation the rest of the day. It actually used to be better a few years ago when that guy with the fake british accent used to host it. Nowadays though it's like Erik said, you tape it and then watch it some other day fast forwading through the crap to see the 1 or 2 decent videos in the whole 2 hrs, if that. Hapilly, a friend of mine works at Arista records and gets a list of what videos are going to be played each week so I kinda know whether it's even worth taping it. : ) Dumb question perhaps, but do you folks in Eurpe get M2? Actually, no one here in America does either, which is a damned shame because I almost wish that they'd scrap normal MTV and replace it with M2. I hope to god that it doesn't get scrapped because of low ratings caused by the fact that for the most part, the only people who can see it are those with super expensive sattelite systems... anyway, that's about that.... ta, Martin. ----------------------------- Date: Mon, 24 Nov 1997 08:36:55 +0100 From: "Barczinski, Reiner, WAC" Subject: AW: Nordman / swedish (scandinavian) music Yeah, thanks to all of you ... 1.)

In the Late seventies it was almost the only band that Thomas and Jonas listened to. Jonas and some other guys in the band has listened listened to Can for a couple of years and loves them, an Thomas has listened to Can for about two years and I know that he likes them a lot. Can is one of the most influential bands ever and maybe Can didn't directly influence them, but they have certaily influenced Bands like La Dusseldorf, Kraftwerk and Pere Ubu. ----------------------------- Date: Mon, 24 Nov 1997 09:25:11 +0100 From: "Barczinski, Reiner, WAC" Subject: Nordman again?!

I wouldn't say that Nordman is nazis in anyway. Their songs reminds of the old Nordic culture, with vikings and runes and stuff like that. The thing is that the same symbols are used by the neo-nazis, and maybe there are nazis who like Nordman (I guess anyone can listen to anything, maybe thery're into Hedningarna as well?), but mostly it's the 'mainstream' public, those who decide whether a record is going to be a real big seller or just an ordinary hit. I never heard even a rumour that they're nazis or anything like that, the only thing is that one of the members spent some time in prison after driving drunk.

Well, why is the song Dusseldorf called Dusseldorf? The city is the epitome of Kraut, It's brought us Kraftwerk, Neu!, La Dusseldorf and Conny Plank and his studio. And Koln (Can et al) is just around the corner. Mention Can or Kraftwerk to Tomas and he'll light up with a bright smile, I'm sure. Listen to Dusseldorf, Horlurar, Dubbel Tvekan, etc. etc. And now for something completely different, any of you Norwegian or other people out there heard a band called Kaare and the Cavemen? I heard a song on the telly a couple of months back and it was extremely cool, something like Dick Dale crossed with 70:s TV detective series, or film music. Tell me about them, someone.

Well, I was there (on saturday Arenan) and since I haven't seen any comments yet, I can write down few lines. (just my view..?) This is bit delayed, because I just arrived from that horrible-floating- old-people-with-sharpy-elbows-end-of-the-world-boat from Stockholm to Helsinki, and confused because I haven't sleep since... since when? TO THE POINT... Gig was, what I expected. Like the new album, interesting combination of acoustic instruments (6 violins and 2 cellos) and one guy grooving with some electronic boxes (drums, samplers whatever I really don't know these things). Sounds though was bit of a disapointment. Well, the machines were ok with jungle/triphop/ambient noices and rhytms, but strings were horrible plastic-synth like, what can you expect with wired strings anyway. Bjork managed well though the sound (once again) of her voice was bit plastic and electronic. (it sued very well in pluto) I guess I'm complaining here acoustics of the place not the group itself. Song were quite similar to version on records (with few exceptions, like Yoga without any electronic devices only with strings), and most of the song were grooving darn good. There were songs from all three albums, and I was pretty happy to hear those from Debut, since it's still best of those three...? I don't know, if they sold too many tickets there or were all the people just pushing towards the stage, but in my place nobody couldn't move an inch and everybody just stood and stare. I hate when people come to the DANCEgig and just stands there doing nothing! As a total view gig was bit flat, but I enjoyed it after all... here's some sort of list of song 1. Hunter 2. You been flirting again 3. Isobel 4. Come to me 5. All neon like * Immature * Venus as a boy * Bachlorette * Possibly maybe 10. Human behaviour * 5 years * Violently happy 13. Hyperballad 14.

But you see, in Sweden we have a big problem (in my eyes) with those f-ing idiots running around in the streets harrassing fugitives and so on. And with that in mind; a band should have second thoughts about having runes etc. on stage. I know, it is not the symbols that are the problem - it is the people who started to use them in these nazi contextes. But anyway, it gives a bad taste in my mouth seeing them, even if I wouldn't go as far as to say that Nordman share the values of the ideology. So, go on, listen to Nordman if you like the music.

No, of course the Nordman members are not subscribing to a nazii ideology. But as long as they are carelessly toying around with runes and other viking symbols - as well as spicing their lyrics with subjects like courage, pride, manhood, and a general feel of alienation in the 20th century - they will have to live with that the accusation pops up every now and then. Now as everyone knows there is nothing inherently nazist about all this, but unfortunately the white supremacy pack have co-opted these elements to their agenda... which Nordman and others have to suffer for. > I think it's more serious when one of the members of Ace of Base (sorry to > mention that 'music' here, hope never to do that again :) ) is posing on > old photographs in a 'Heil Hitler' position. Just wait a month or two until the people behind the Flashback magazine release a compilation CD with Ulf Ekberg and his old nazi synth/EBM band.

As shocking as the early Brainbombs singles (still hoping for someone to rerelease jack the ripper lover, i fucked anne frank etc.) and Whitehouse? Maybe this is a bit theoretical, but consider a band that are convinced antisemites, still making the most incredible music (yeah , I'm not talking Ultima Thule or Skrewdriver here).
