Thee Power Of Twee

I am not going to write anything special… I know that she has been written about here and there, so why not here as well=) The first song that I heard was “Anorak christmas”, since I am a big Nixon fan I knew that it would be good and yes indeed it was. The response she has received on her song at various medias show the strength that lies in Nixon, Roger is truly a pop wizard!

Sally Shapiro - “Anorak christmas”
The song is available on a 12″!! I certainly ordered a copy as soon as I saw that. Hope you will love this as much as I do and in case that you have not listened to Nixon for a while maybe it will make you put those lovely gems on once again.

Finally the guys have put up a new song called “White mantle king” at myspace, it has been one of my favorites among the new songs that they have played live. And right now I find myself listening to it again and again. You should too! It is a very nice track and gives a hint of what is to come when their debut album will be released next year, dare I say that it will be one of the top albums of 2007?

Take a visit at their homepage as well for more songs, lyrics (well worth a read as well). You have the link here under “links”.

Some other guys that have been buzzing for a while now and that some blogs that I read have mentioned, and whom I had the privilege of seeing live a couple of weeks back (and yes, they sounded just as good live!!). They are called Days, at first I thought it was a gang of 30ish something men but that was not the case. Visit their myspace and listen to the lovely tunes

Records to be released on the reborn Shelflife (what a delight!) and the new label Lavender. Lavender by the way just put out their first release which was with Afraid of stairs.

Well, that was all for now, seems that lately the things that have been mentioned here have been done so in a haste. Loads to etc etc etc. Who cares, lovely songs by lovely bands, that is what matters!=)

I have received some bogus e-mails about paypal and e-bay. Many of you have probably received them as well. I am most confident that these are nothing but doings of ill-makers, so watch out.

Now to some more fun things, Celestial has treated us to a small Christmas present that you can download here

Celestial - “Saving up her wishes (for another christmas)”

It is a zip file with song and cover.
And it is a delightful thing!

I just ordered a cd. The fun thing is that I already LOVE it, even though I have only heard one song. That song was Silver Screen - “Won’t you ever know”, I am struck speechless! It is just SO SO SO SO SO SO SO GOOOOOOD!! At this moment sitting here having listened to it on repeat I have to say that it is the best song I have heard this year!

As I said, I am speechless. Pay a visit to Chris Millers myspace site and listen to the songs there, that particular song is not up there but the ones that are, they are mighty fine as well. Though, you should buy the album just to get the chance to listen to “Won’t you ever know”!! If you have ever liked something that I have mentioned here, well, then this is a MUST HAVE.

Claire records

Or why not from this lovely shop: Fraction discs

Once again this guy Matttias who has (together with his flatmate) the club Cosy Den, has brought some poplove into my life. This time it is The Bridal Shop, I met the girl Ida from the band at “I’m from Bräkne-Hoby” this summer and later on I bumped into her on the train on my way to Cosy Den, where she was also headed. Well enough of my anecdotes….

Their song, “From seas” is just pure greatness. At first I listened to it on repeat and left for school with a big smile on my face, then I told a friend that “with better recordings this would be a big hit!” But the more I listen to it (at least five times a day), I just think “hey! this is already a hit!!”. Just marvelous. Gives me a warm buzz every time, so become their friend at myspace and send them lovelettters, write them songs, hey, marry them!

There might be some things coming up here in just a short while, some records and it is beginning to be that time of year when one should do a “this caught my heart”-list, where The Bridal Shop will appear, as you probably already guessed.

Should maybe have mentioned that you should give “Lend me your heart” a listen as well, not as good but not at all bad!
