According to Erik S|derstr|m:
* THE CARDIGANS are signed to (??? what label are they signed to?),
Trampolene, if memory serves.
* and have at least three CD singles out, one of them is "Rise & Shine",
* the others - I have no idea
There's also one song on the compilation "Kittenish" - I wonder if
that track appears also as a b-side of some single?
Wasn't "Sick & Tired" also a single?

Subject: New Popsicle single!
Hi!
Given the number of Popsicle fans on this list, I was quite surprised
to see a new single, "Make Up", in my regular record store - hasn't
anybody else seen it really? :-)
I was just wondering how great the two previously unreleased songs
are, ie. shall I go and pick it up tomorrow, or wait till my economic
situation is a bit better...? It was nice to see that it has been
released also as a 7" single (some kind of a limited edition)... the
'record collector scum' part of me almost tells me to buy both CD5 and
the 7" :-)
Kimmo
PS. anybody wanna bet about the icehockey final on Sunday...? :-)
(it's Finland against Sweden, for those who don't know & are
interested)

To make this all a bit more confusing, I'll comment here in a separate
post to Tomas' reply to my message... :-)
According to Tomas Rendalen:
* Oh yes I have! It's not specially new really. I bought it last summer
* or maybe in the autumn sometime. It contains three great songs: Make Up,
* Everything's the only thing, and Lavender mist. They doesn't sound like
* anything else than PopSicle, and I believe you know how they sound.
I sure do! I've been a huge Popsicle fan ever since Ludvig Borgne
taped me "Lacquer" (September '93, I think...) and I've done my best
to spread the word here in Finland :-)
I guess I'll have to go out and get the single right away to brighten
up my Saturday afternoon.
* I sure would like that 7", since I've never seen it!
*
* > PS. anybody wanna bet about the icehockey final on Sunday...? :-)
* Since Sweden beat Canada they will beat Finland too! 2-1 in sudden is
* my bet :-)
Alright, Tomas - if Sweden wins, I'll get the 7" single for you - if
Finland wins, you'll have to get something for me, OK?

The track is "Pooh Song", though I have no idea if it appears on a single
or not. Anyone?

Yes it was. So there we have two... And another one is "Carnival". I'm

I'll probably make the rest of Sweden upset by saying this, but I think
Finland will win, 3-1 (1-0, 1-1, 1-0). I feel they have a better team this

Hej all-
what is the lowdown on SALT? I have heard vaguely positive reports, but
I wonder if anyone can tell me what style they play (very broadly- I
have no idea if they are a techno outfit or if they all play flutes with
their nostrils). They are playing soon (in stockholm) and I am interested...

No it's neither Tibetan nose flutes, nor Mongolian throat singing.
It's simply a pretty good indie pop trio fronted by a woman. They were
OK in Hultsfred last year, but should probably be even better at Studion.
I think Pixies is a pretty good reference. BTW, they used to be called
God Damn Carnival.
Anyone going to Band Of Susans next Wednesday? What a clash that night
anyway... BOS at Studion, Gene at Gino, and Brainpool (yuck!!) at Gröna Lund.

Subject: Whale & Teddybears Concert "review"
I just want to say that I've been to the _best_ concert of my life.
Whale and Teddybears started their tour yesterday here in Linkoping and
the place was packed to the limit (400+ in a 350 max place). Outside
we met Peter Siepen (sp?) from Z-Tv and talked with him a bit - he was
just there with three friends (sorry, I don't remember their names)
because he's one of Henrik Schyffert's friends and just had to see the
premiere (he later got some help from me trying to get up to "surf" on
the audience, but failed unfortunately :) only to promise to stage dive
during Teddybears act (which he didn't)) - Anders Nunstedt from Expressen
moved around in there as well as most of the swedish "indie music"
journalist core and a few dozen members of different bands. When we were
hanging in our jackets, Gordon Cyrus (the rumor in Aftonbladet that he
wouldn't be there was false) and another band member (I don't know his
name) came up and told us it was only 15 minutes before they were supposed
to go on stage, and that they wanted a bathroom _now_, so we grabbed
the opportunity and asked them a quick question about their rumored WWW
Home Page. I got the address, but lost it later during the concert
unfortunately (anyone have it on the list?).
Well, I've been to Biohazard concerts twice in my life, Dog Eat Dog once
and those have been _tough_ - but nothing compared to Whale. Really. And
never a pit as warm as this one either. I must have lost 2 kilos at least
during their 8 song set. I give it 5 (out of 5) points. A wonder. They will
surely grab a lot of Curve fans with this performance and music by the way.
No doubt about that.
Well, I'll type in a concert review that Anders Nunstedt wrote (he gave
the concert 4 points out of 5) tomorrow so I won't babble more about it.
Only a tip for the rest on this list who are seeing them on their tour -
Rumor said that about 20 seconds before the last song ends, Henrik Schyffert
would drop his guitar and stage dive right into the audience and then leave.
Which of course he did. :) I caught his hand and helped to drag him up from
the floor (fame fame, yes you can have my autograph now :)), so keep an
eye open when the 8th song starts.
From what I saw, only Teddybears t-shirts and caps were sold + other
miscellaneous t-shirts with "With..." on the front in a circle. Maybe
those were the Whale t-shirts? I don't know.
Anyway, I think they'd better make Teddybears the support act and not the
other way around, because the Teddybears set really made the whole crowd
want more adrenaline than they could give. They made an okay gig though,
finishing off with their cover of Prince's "Purple Rain". About as tough
as a Biohazard concert.
If they're in _your_ town soon - DON'T MISS IT!

Martin wrote about the Whale EP "Pay For Me", saying it was excellent,
and I have to agree. "Buzz Box Baby" is probably one of the best songs
on it, and it's really worth the cash.
A second tip comes to mind then: They're selling the EP at the concerts
for 55 SKr, in case someone who's going wants a copy for a somewhat cheaper
price. :)

I'd like to call their music "distorted guitar pop" more than plainly
"indie pop". I get that Brainpool feeling when I hear that. :) Missed
them in Hultsfred last year though (bummer!), but when they played here
three months ago, they were better than great. :) I give my highest
recommendations (whatever that might say :)). You won't be disappointed.
And now when Salt's the topic:
They recently got signed to Island Records, who will handle the international
distribution and the works. They're spreading Salt over Europe this
autumn and over the U.S. next spring.
And now when Salt's the topic (again):
I noticed I haven't posted the interview to the list, neither have I
put it up on the Scan-Indie Web pages! I'll take time to do that
tomorrow.

Last year was probably the best year I think. Though I was a bit scared
when I saw the first line-up list this year, that feeling is now long gone,
so it looks like it's going to be great this year again. :)

I saw them when they played here with The Pusjkins (local band) last year
and wasn't too impressed, but maybe they have changed? :) Too much "pop"
for my taste perhaps?

Hallo guys
Im comin to Stockholm on Sat. 28. May, and will have to spend
the night there. Can anybody tell me if there are any good
gigs that night or which bars, night clubs I should go ?
Thanks for any help,

Hi!
Guess if my eyes popped out when I saw Liimanarina "Supermarket"
in the catalog of Drag City records. Yep, that finnish band is
on the same label as indie rock stars such as Palace, Smog,
Silver Jews and Pavement...
Hardcore band No fun at all is also on a SoCal label called
Theologian I saw a few weeks ago.

Hi!
Sending this back to the list because I don't know what the status really
is on this one :
Weezer are supposed to be playing GINO at the 28th of May. But, according
to what I've heard, they will be playing in July instead.
The reason I'm unsure is that some newspaper still lists the May 28 gig.
Does anyone have the correct information?
John.

*sigh* They have been cancelling and postponing gigs for several months
now. What's the reason this time?

Not me, sorry. All I know is that you shouldn't trust the newspapers'
giglists too much. The best way to find out is making a phonecall to the
place of the gig, or to whomever is responsible.

Subject: Weezer + Salt
To the guy asking about Weezer: radio Bandit here in Stockholm just reported
that they'll play at Gino on July 9th. Believe it if you want...
BTW, right at this very moment radio Bandit is playing Salt's first single from
the Ausculate album. It's really great, a little Pixieish as I said before.
For those (Mark??) going to Studion on Thursday to see Salt, let me just report
that it has been confirmed that Cinnamon will open up. So talk about "Evening
Of the Spices" :) Apparently Cinnamon sent a demo to some US record labels, one
of which (don't remember which one) fired on all cylinders, and are promptly
sending a rep over to Sweden. So they had to get a gig *fast* to show off,
and opening up for Salt was the fastest they could get, even though they opened
for This Perfect Day at the same very place last week.

According to Petter Tiilikainen:

* on the same label as indie rock stars such as Palace, Smog,

That's right!! The album (which is actually called 'Spermarket' or
'S#permarket') was released something like a month ago or so. I bought
it the other day and I've been meaning to write a review for this
list, but I haven't been able to listen through it yet - it is perhaps
the most demanding piece of music I've heard since...well I don't know
what!!
For those who have not been following their 'career', they are a great
lo-fi, or rather no-fi band from my hometown Tampere. Instead of
cranking up electric guitars and fuzzboxes, they use mostly acoustic
guitar, and the usual bass, drums and screaming vocals. Also, the
very original lyrics by Olli Pauke, the main man of the band, are
worth mentioning. For some reason they remind me of Bob Dylan's most
surrealistic stuff, but with a very perverse twist, dealing with
pornography, Elvis, Donald Duck, recorders (the wooden flute, not the
tape deck) and what not. This time they have even been translated in
English for foreigners' reading pleasure.
Before this album they released three 7" EP's on Bad Vugum label:
"Maailman tylsin vittumaisuus", "Juutalaiset" and "L{ntinen Pornokatu
12 & 35" (another Dylan reference...)
So, if you're into perhaps a bit more challenging sounds than our
average indie pop, give this band a listen.

Well, what's so surprising about it?:) Liimanarina are a classic and
the Drag City people can obviously appreciate talent when they
hear some... I heartily recommend everyone with a soft spot for some
real fucked up music to check the album out! (It's actually
*"Spermarket"*, BTW.)
