Here's a small excerpt + additional information: The label is located in Wiesbaden, Germany, and the compilation is scheduled for a release this summer - which means it will hopefully be out within a couple of months. The title has not yet been decided, but the catalog number is "apricd002". EttNollEtt reports there will be a total of 16 European bands - and if that is so, it will be a loaded release, as all bands contribute with two songs each (32 songs!). Five of the bands are Swedish: Celeste, Shermans, Sparky, Acid House Kings and Aquadays! List favourites Aquadays appear with "Senseless" and "June". Other bands mentioned are: Brideshead (D), Charming (US), Den Baron (D), Elegant (D), Fragile (UK) and The Shining Hour (UK).

This version contains a bonus 4-track CDEP with acoustic songs 'Fender' (new), 'River Raffle' (new), 'Disdialogic' (new recording) and 'Lava' (new recording). The two first songs are also released on a split 7" single together with Ward J later this summer. Now, for those of you who feel that buying yet another copy of "For Sale By Owner", just to get the bonus CDEP, sucks - Startracks know how you feel - Therefor, all you have to do to get the CDEP if you already have the album is to send the barcode numbers from your copy of it + 20 crisp SEK to Startracks, and they will in return send the EP to you at once. Their address is as follows: STARTRACKS AB, Hogbergsgatan 33 2tr., 116 20 Stockholm, Sweden //Erik P.S. Due to the "red day" on monday, all previously mentioned releases said to be out on monday are released on tuesday.

I consider JAMC playing a Swedish festival to be related to Scandinavian Indie enough to be worth posting to the list. I kind of like seeing good non-Scandinavian bands' tour dates and gigs in Scandinavia posted to the list. Like the Guitar Wolf ones for example. But then again, that's just my opinion. > About Lollipop being cancelled. I can only speak for myself, but the only > really interesting festivals IMHO are Roskilde and Hultsfred - and I > really don't care much about Hultsfred either. Besides, what more could > have been added about the cancellation of Lollipop? This year I agree with you, but Lollipop never had a chance to even begin on an interesting line-up, and granted, last year it was kind of "empty" - but it was still an interesting festival. What else could have been added about the cancellation of Lollipop? Maybe that Hakan Waxegard probably shouldn't have dropped that much of the organization and economical bits in the hands of EMA Telstar? And how come the festival became so expensive all of a sudden? In fact, it became so expensive, they had to *cancel* the whole thing! Doesn't anyone wonder about that? And how about the probable small Lollipop festival ("Lillipop") arranged by Waxegard without EMA? And then we have the "touring" Lollipop, bob hund headliners. Will it happen, or is it cancelled as well? I know there are people on the list with answers to all these questions - people who know Waxegard personally, people who are close to bob hund, people from EMA, and so on. But if no one cares, and no one asks these questions - then no one is going to answer them either. But there we have it, no one cares, and that's why the list is sleeping. Right? And I wasn't pointing at you Martin. I meant that the whole list (everyone) seems to be lurking these days. So I was merely asking what was up? Finals? The (lack of - at least today) summer weather? //Erik ------------------------------ End of Scandinavian Indie Digest Vol.98 #45 ********************************************
