Subject: Cardigans - FBOTM review
This is a forwarded copy of a review I copied from Melody Maker here in
the UK.
I also have a copy of an interview the band did for Melody Maker. If
anyone's interested then mail me and I'll either forward it, or post it
to the list if there's enough interest (say > 5).

>>THE CARDIGANS [GOLD STAR IN RED CIRCLE CONTAINING 'BLOODY ESSENTIAL']
>>THE FIRST BAND ON THE MOON
>>Polydor (11tks/39mins)
>>IF people this cool, this clever and this outrageously gifted weren't
>>also thoroughly misunderstood, it wouldn't be fair. But _still_. The
>>Cardigans' "Life" was last year's quietest classic, sweet, sumptuous and
>>strange to the point of being faintly sinister: people in general being
>>the dumb-ass f***lings they are, it won them a reputation not as
>>triumphant individualists but as some kind of joke, simply for forsaking
>>rock convention in favour of braver things.
>>
>>It beggars belief! It feels like we've all said the same thing so many
>>times, so hark: there is no "right" or "wrong" kind of pop music - like
>>love, it is merely effective or ineffective. Hence, The Cardigans'
>>appropriation of easy listening/lounge music is in no way comical, rather
>>it seems fantastically courageous, an open embrace of taboo possibility -
>>and, besides, Easy is only their most prominent influence, not
>>necessarily their strongest: equal props go out to The Beatles, Altered
>>Images ("Happy Meal II" drips with rampant Graganeering), Saint Etienne,
>>light disco, even Black Sabbath (their penchant for cocktail covers of
>>Sab songs continues here with a breezy "Iron Man", though that joke's
>>starting to wilt somewhat.)
>>
>>What's more important is that "The First Band On The Moon" is, on its own
>>terms, one of the most accomplished and affecting pop records of the year
>>- for all the cheap charges hurled their way, The Cardigans understand
>>the balance of thought and spontaneity, the cool and the foolishness
>>required for great music _perfectly_. The kick inside the gut when "Your
>>New Cuckoo" turns its chorus flip; "Heartbreaker" and its dovetailing of
>>dulcet melody and words shot through with helpless, calculated cruelty;
>>the way "Never Recover" goes zigzagging off into five horizons - to an
>>open mind, The Cardigans sound like a band worth taking _very_ seriously
>>(those still in doubt should turn to "Losers", a quietly staggering wedge
>>of experimental bugglegum as brave and thrilling as anything from the new
>>Boo Radley's album).
>>
>>It's tempting to suggest that the sheer sweetness of The Cardigans sound
>>is some kind of slap back at the reality of a hateful world (if their
>>lives are as suffused with sex as the lyrics suggest, it's tricky to feel
>>sorry for them, but then Swedes, traditionally, rich, healthy,
>>intelligent, beautiful and suicidal, have always excelled at "Diamond
>>shoes too tight/Wallet too small for my 50s" logic). In Cardigans
>>country, love is a mug's game, sex is powerplay, and the things we do for
>>both are at best manipulative, at worst pathetically degrading. Happily,
>>I agree, so I have no problem proclaiming "The First Band On The Moon"
>>the second best pop LP of the year as she stands (see how _that_ looks on
>>the posters, you bastards).
>>
>>It really is something very, very special. Don't snigger: I've got my

Subject: Stockholm Parking Problems
Hello to All,
This is a trivial question for those subscribers in Stockholm or those who
know Stockholm quite well.
I was wondering if you all knew of an effective way of parking in Stockholm
with a car.
I'll be staying with a friend near Odensgatan. The reason I'm asking is
that I was there in July, and I remember that it was a total bitch to always
put money in the meters, i.e. in the weekday mornings after hanging out all
night. Thus, I was wondering if the locals knew of a special Swedish secret
to alleviate this madness.
I've been to big cities before, and parking is always a hassle. So, all I'm
asking for is a little advice.
Thanks,
Pete

leslies debutalbum "totally brilliant" has so far been bought by 3500

company called "Harry Lime". in november their album will be released in
japan on a major label (Colombia/Nippon). For more information contact

If you are planning to park your car in downtown Stockholm during daytime,
you better bring a bucketfull of coins. It's gonna cost ya, as you're already
aware of... up to 20 SEK an hour, depending on how central it is. I'm afraid
there are no ways around it. It's free after 6 PM, given that they're not
cleaning the street that particular night (check the signs).
There is one solution though... let me take care of your car :) I can drive it
to my job and park for free there during the days. Then you can have it
back when you need it...

He's Black Sabbath's guitarist, who wrote most of their music (Ozzy Osbourne
wrote most of their lyrics I think)

For the tape, how about some more Dada Girl. Do they have anything recorded

Subject: lemonator ep
Hey again,
I was told that the Finnish band Lemonator (whose debut ep "EP" was
favourably reviewed here some time ago) will soon release a new ep (or
single), titled "Superb"...which very likely is *not* a tribute to the
classic demo tape by a certain band from Tampere... :)
For what I know, the ep may already be out, anybody?

Some time ago, Ad wrote:

Well, you can count on that! :)
* Do they have anything recorded beyond the 3-song "Sandpit" tape?
They did a four-track demo tape before that, that's where "Everything
About The Gun" which was on the Finnish tape #1 is from. No other
recorded material, I think; but I heard that they are seriously
planning on doing a self-released cd single/ep, as it seems that no
label in Finland is interested in releasing anything from them. No
idea when the cd would be out (or even recorded) but I hope it will
happen one of these days because they are definitely one of the best
bands emerging from this country in a long while and they deserve much
more attention.

Subject: Mono, Fint Tillsammans and Loosegoats
Hey!
I received two 7" singles a couple of days ago from
the label that brought us the bob hund "edvin medvind"
7" single, Dilettante Productions. If you want to read
more about their "Stockholm Archive Series" you should
visit: http://www2.passagen.se/benno/Home/Stokage/
10_Stokage/Spotlight/1spotlight.html
It was one 7" by Fint Tillsammans and one by Mono.
These two bands and their singles have a couple of
things in common: they sing out of tune in Swedish,
they're probably great live (anyone seen them?), their
songs have got strange lyrics and funny titles, both
singles could be filed under "lo-fi" and I don't think
any of the bands had existed today if it wasn't for
bob hund. Now, these are just my opinions of course,
and though I don't think they're especially good (the
singles, not my opinions :) I'd still recommend you to
get them. Why, you ask? Well, they're on vinyl and
vinyl is always vinyl. :) And on both of the singles
there are interesting editorials about putting out
vinyl, written by the guy behind Dilettante, Magnus
Boman. Here's the address if you're interested:
Dilettante Productions
Box 6104
S-102 32 STOCKHOLM
SWEDEN
Magnus Boman has got an e-mail address, I think you
can find it at the URL I wrote at the beginning of
this mail.
Also, has anyone heard the new Loosegoats single yet?
Former Loosegoat Jens says that it's damn good (he was
still in the band when they recorded it). I think it
was supposed to be released on the 14th, but when I
visited the local record-store today they had not
received it yet. Hmm... for some reason I bought the
new Boo Radleys album... don't really know what I was
thinking...
Take care,
Magnus - _NOT_ listening to the new album by the Boo Radleys

Although this isn't actually a Scandinavian Indie question per se, it's
pretty related when people visit the city in order to go to gigs etc,
so...
This is something I would like to know more about as well. I usually stay
around Odengatan (Odenplan) as well when I'm there - and during the weekdays
it's pretty much hell. 10 SEK / hour around Odenplan = 100 SEK / day (it's
free between 6pm -> 8am I think). And the Oden Garage on Odenplan is just
too expensive as well. Any thoughts/solutions appreciated!

If you're staying in Stockholm for a few days, and don't need access to the
car while you're there, I would recommend parking the car in some villa
area outside the city center (e.g. on Liding|), and take a bus/underground
back to the center.
There are also some big parking areas just outside the city, close to
underground stations (e.g. Ropsten), where you can park a lot cheaper than
in the center.

Subject: Apocalyptica
Hi!
I heard the Apocalyptica cd yesterday and think it's great. Four cellos
playing Metallica is utterly rare (how come it always takes a finnish band
to figure out something so brilliant?). Even though I'm no Metallica-fan the
record was still great entertainment. Have anyone on the list seen the band
live? I would really like to hear about it if anyone have. Do they play
other stuff live than Metallica?
Red Snapper played at So What (Oslo) yesterday, and it was one of the best
concerts I've seen in years (my hole life, maybe). They are playing
Gothenburg tonight (I think), and Copenhagen on friday and saturday. Bring
friends, families and everybody you know, because this is what music is all
about! They were playing techno/trip-hop music live with no other
instruments than bass, guitar, drums and a sax. The drummer was amazing,
he's also the drummer in Aloof, and I can't remember seeing a better drummer
live! A mixture between Morphine, Soul Coughing and acid jazz/trip hop is
what popped into my mind. After the concert the drummer also dj'ed wich (off
course) also helped maximizing the evening. Go for it!! The sound engineer
did a great job to, if pushing buttons is an artform he must be the Picasso
of all technical crews!
This was just a little news from the concert scene in Oslo. I guess the
norwegians are not that well-represented on this list, so if I get some
spare time I'll keep you informed in the future (if anyone is interested).

yesterday).

Hi there!I just wanted to tell everyone that I've joined your "special
club" for scandinavian indie-music. My name is Michael and I live in
Linköping, where I study political science at the university. Besides this
I'm trying to start a career as a pop journalist - I've had some fruitful
contacts with the internet magazine Benno and the fanzine Rubber Soul.
Favourite bands? Well, my record collection involves both Beethoven,
Pantera and Prodigy - I listen to all kinds of music, life becomes too
boring just doing one thing at a time. But if we're speaking scandinavian
indie: Popsicle (of course), Blithe, Starmarket, Larry and the Lefthanded,
Pusjkins and Mazarine Street (after their marvellous gig on Herrgår'n
yesterday). Well, I think that will be all for now, but believe me, you
will hear from me again!

I've heard several people say that it is *fantastic*, though I, like you,
have yet to find it somewhere. Unfortunately. It ought to be out though,
StartRec said that it would be out on the 14th themselves, as late as
on October 2nd.

:-) I won't go into this discussion, though several reviews have said
that they have moved back into their "old" more noisy guitar sound, after
making the "this will please the general public" last album, scaring away
the average tracks listener (again). You mean that's not true, right?

Subject: Booking Agencies - some thoughts
Last night when Mazarine Street played here (actually a pretty amazing gig -
it was some time ago I saw a band play with so much heart, especially the
drummer and the guy on bass) I learned that they (too) have recently
switched to the EMA Telstar booking agency, which means that they won't
take less than 10.000 SEK for a gig (this gig was the last one booked
pre-EMA Telstar) from now on.
This piece of information started a discussion about more and more bands
moving over to EMA Telstar (the biggest and "wealthiest" booking agency in
Sweden) where one has to expect to shell out anything from 8.000 SEK to
whatever if one wants one of their bands to play at one's venue. Other
bands on EMA Telstar include Brainpool, Standards, Starlet and Superswirls,
just to mention a few - and I'm told Superswirls is at about 15.000 SEK,
Starlet about 8.000 - 10.000 SEK / gig.
This means that smaller venues (like the ones here in Linkoping) won't
be able to get these bands, and what will be the result of this? Well,
here's my thoughts: first the good one - we will see more new and upcoming
bands, because the venues can't afford the "bigger" ones, which I think
is great. The downside is probably that these bands won't get as many
gigs anymore (and some of them haven't even been out playing that much
yet either), which also means that less people will know about them -
or buy their records, unless the label puts enough money into major ad
campains, TV performances etc. etc.
I wonder if these bands think they will make it big if they are signed
to the largest booking agency in Sweden, or if it is the agency that has
started to notice that "oh, these new pop bands, that only Motor and Luger
previously have handled, bring in a lot of money - let's sign a couple" ??
Both of these "thoughts" are really sad, if that's how it is.
Well, I'll stop babbling about it now...
