Dungen - "Samtidigt" (Uncut Version) A complete 15-minute long jam of the song "Samtidigt," which originally appeared on last year's 4 album. This is a limited-edition (500) tour-only 12" on Kemado.
Googoosh - “Respect” Amber tea and whole flower pedals. Muslin dress and shoes with a little heel. Semolina and raisins, and a slap across the face. Dark brown streets and occasional neon, a blue and handsome midnight. A crowded apartment building with young boys that hang out staring at the floor of the lobby all night grinning and humming. Up the tiles, stairs, halls to a chipped door. Making money the only way they know how. Pages from a comic book, crude and hard to understand. One picture has a French stereotype, the other an American, they are arguing, one of them is farting, and there are a pair of tits in there somewhere. A neighbour pokes his head out, to see what's the noise, can't tell if the scream was in danger or in fun. Out the balcony and into the hot cloud of the night. Soft street lights and distant sparse cafes, smells like food at all hours in this part of town. [Buy]
Apollo Ghosts - “Land of the Morning Calm” Apollo Ghosts, makers of My most favoritest album of the year, kick off a Pacific Northwest tour tonight.
