I heard the band and their management had said that there was no way they
would be able to play at Roskilde this year when asked a few weeks ago.
One of the Roskilde sites on the web says "Metallica will absolutely NOT
play there this year" as well. I know there were rumors about them coming
earlier, but I doubt it now though.

See if Radioshopen (Vasterlanggatan, Stockholm) has got a copy of
their best-of album 'Hitteja, piiseja ja hittipiiseja'. That's where
I got mine, anyway. Aknestik's guitarist Kai is a complete U2
obsessive, and one can only be thankful that the rest of the band have
quite different tastes. I think he's better than the Edge, but then I
would...
But don't expect them to sound like U2!

The 12" is listed for $21 at Esprit: http://www.eil.co.uk/eil/
So I guess you could get $25 or so for the CD?!
Ah, yes. The totally inflated prices of Roxette/GT et al.
I've never understood people shelling out zillions on those records.
Their most expensive Roxette item is a japanese CD for $289.

They're both around 250-300:- for mint copies. But of course, if you find
someone from Japan who'll buy it you might walk away with double that.
I haven't heard that the black version of Shooting Time should be worth a
lot more, but it's the cooler copy to have isn't it?

I second this recommendation, and if you cannot find it at Radioshopen,
youcan try your luck at the Mind The Gap mail order. E-mail to Jorg Winzer
at Jwinzer@aol.com, he'll let you know if he has any copies. You'll
probably be able to get it cheaper that way, too (even with air mail

I bought an album with him in the mid/late eighties. I can't remember
the name of the album. It had a small hit on it that was called "moon in
the gutter" or something. I think it was produced and released in
sweden. Can't remember wich. Maybee MNW. (Hmm..I don't remember much).
Anyway, it sounded like boring mainstream music. And not good enough to
be mainstream either. I sold it quite quick.
Not much information really. Sorry.

As far as I know both Acid House Kings and Club 8 are very interested in
having a swedish record deal, it actually seems like thats one of their
main goals right now. I personally think that the whole
underground-thing is a good thing, but a bit overrated. If you are
seriously interested in making music and even make a living out of it,
you are pretty stupid if you dont take the chances that are given to
you.
Take care!

Do you mean they have contacted a bunch/couple of Swedish labels but
no one wanted them? If that is the case, they must have contacted
the "wrong" ones or the Swedish record industry as a whole is out

OK, I got things mixed up. Went back to this mysterious Tambourine Studios
CDrom I found in a flea market in the Bahamas, and checked the story again.
Apparently it was after they had bought the studio that they were having
trouble paying the rent, so they had to sell off some of their equipment.
They made a conscience decision to sell off all the digital stuff while
keeping the 70's analogue stuff. An economically motivated decision which
ended up making for a small analogue revolution.
In doing a bit more of my homework, looking at old Grimsby Fishmarkets, it
seems that they bought the studio (or at least the equipment) from what had
been Manfred Mann (studios?). Now, I'm sure I should know who Manfred Mann
is/was, but I don't. Help?
A bunch of people have expressed interest in getting tapes of my little
thing, though I'm sure that would prove horribly embarassing to my good
self. We shall see what happens. However, in any event, I will be
compiling a CDR of stuff for my presentation, so that I don't have to go
fumbling with a couple dozen discs or queueing tapes. I'll post a track
listing when it's ready, and will figure out some arrangement by which
people can get tape copies of that (and maybe my notes), though it should
probably be something along the lines of: send in a blank tape and a
return envelope and i'll send you back a copy. I.e., making it absolutely
clear that this is not something that I am selling. (Noting also that I
subscribe to the school of thought which says that mix tapes encourage
people to buy records rather than discourage sales). I doubt that the comp
will be that interesting to those who are already pretty well versed in the
jazzier side of Scandie pop, but might provide a nice intro for others.

June 25-29 Roskilde definitely is the place to be if you like music!
For tickets in Germany, I believe you can call CTS at 0180 55700. The

I know that I've seen lots of pop records from Sweden which mention having
received funds from the Swedish National Council for Cultural Affairs.
Eggstone's first album was the only one that I could locate in a hurry, but
I seem to recall reading that Komeda got some funding for their first album
(?) from that source as well. What more can one say, other than that we in
countries (or maybe this is the only) with governments that disapprove of
funding for the arts are quite envious, as I think you can tell by the note

A little recomendation for those of you who were not really enthusiastic
about the bands on TV yesterday...
Forget about that and go to see IOTA play live instead. Iota is a
instrumentalit-trio (four-piece when they play live) from gothenburg.
Pretty much a chicago-band out of sweden. They will play smalands nation in
lund on thursday 19/2 (together with craftworld) and studion in stockholm
on march 17th (supporting MOGWAI).
IOTAs debut EP should have been released some time ago on slowball
recordings but it is sadly very much delayed. It will be out in time for
the stockholm show. Then slowball will also release an EP with IOTAs
,musical soul-mates PLUXUS too. PLUXUS is a electronica-quartet and really
great too. A WIO LP was just released. So was an AUTRO/GALOUCH split-tape.
Push Kings singles, Pluxus tape, Release city & a Phlegm/6 Cents & Natalie
split 7" are still avalible too. Thanks.

Manfred Mann = bespectacled jazz/blues keyboard guy who formed mid-60's
British R&B/ beat combo, "Manfred Mann" (humble name) and had tons of
hits like "Doo-Waa-Diddy", "5-4-3-2-1", "Pretty Flamingo". Come the
70's, he takes a more "prog" angle and forms "Manfred Mann's Earth Band"
(yet more humbleness) who also had lots of hits and albums with
ridiculous covers. That's about all you need to know.

I don't know if you can get direct support from state like that here in
Finland, but at least there are two organizations, ESEK and LUSEK, which
support the release and promotion of Finnish music. As far as I know, both
are funded by two other organizations, TEOSTO and GRAMEX, and probably they
get some money from the government as well.
TEOSTO is the composers' and lyricists' organization which takes care of
copyright stuff and collects royalties from eg. radio play and live
performances. So, in practise if you have released a record and it is
played on the radio, you'll have to join TEOSTO if you want to get any
money out of it (especially when you have written some of the music or the
lyrics). You will also get some money if your songs are performed live,
even when you do it yourself. As far as I can remember, a (small) part of
the money collected by TEOSTO will go to ESEK and LUSEK.
I'm not very familiar with GRAMEX, as I haven't yet bothered to join it
(the application form was far too complicated and clearly not intended for
indiepoppers :) ), but I seem to remember that a percentage of every blank
tape (audio & video) sold in Finland will go to GRAMEX, and if you are a
member you'll get your share of this...but I might be confusing this with
some other organization...this side of the music biz is really hard to
figure out (on purpose probably).
>> ...if you ask

This is what I have heard about ESEK and LUSEK as well. They support only
the release of full-length CD's and only if you have a distribution deal.
They also support promotional tours sometimes. I've heard that you can get
up to 50% of the expenses from this organizations, but don't know if
there's any truth in that. One thing I know is that the amount of support
can vary a lot. For example, Super got something like 3,000-5,000 FIM
(=600-1,000 USD) for the production of their debut album (covering around
10 studio hours...) where as the middle-class chicago blues has-been Pepe
Ahlqvist got 200,000 FIM (=40,000 USD)...
Some of the things above are based only on hearsay, so if anyone has more
straight facts, feel free to add (and correct me).

Hmm, I not sure about that.
I'm more inclined that the common factor is weedyness.
But there is an analogy, cause they're financing swedish pop
fanzines/magazines too, if they declare that they will write about
swedish music. That's why you can see some magazines in the shelves
with the subtitle "tidning for svensk rock" or whatever they choose to
call themselves.
A friend of mine wanted to start a fanzine and investigated in this,
and if he printed 1000 copies or so, he would get most of his cost
covered! But then he would be forced to have something "swedish" in the
title, and a minimum of 50 percent of the content on swedish bands.
I know that I've seen lots of pop records from Sweden which mention having
received funds from the Swedish National Council for Cultural Affairs.
Yeah, i remember Twice a Man and a bunch of bands from the 80's. They
give grants for 10-15 bands a year.
Eggstone's first album was the only one that I could locate in a hurry, but
I seem to recall reading that Komeda got some funding for their first album

The Snap/Soap bands have been quite successful in this respect, AFAIK.

For those of you planning to go to the Ward J + Loosegoats gig tomorrow
night (Fritz's Corner) and haven't bought tickets yet - apparently there
are only a few left now, and those left can be bought from Sound Pollution
(08-7918989) or Pet Sounds (08-7029798). If, for any reason, there are any
left, these will be sold at the door (which opens at 9pm).

STARMARKET - released a three-track 7" single with A-side (45rpm) "A Million
Words" and B (33rpm): "Riot Nrrrd" och "Last Call For Fun" on Ampersand
yesterday. "A calculated move to wake up the Swedish music business from
it's jaded slumber" says Jose Saxlund, Ampersand MD. The single was the
band's last recording together with guitarist Johan Fallman. It can be
ordered from Birdnest Mailorder for 35 SEK (+46-(0)221-28200).

Umm, I won a ticket from radio Rocket 95.3, so if someone is desperate,
I'm willing to part with it. Highest bidder gets it. Call me at 08-453 68 44
for all the details.

Good stuff!
Any opinions on Fint tillsammans?! I know that they've been compared to
Bob Hund, but I've never heard/seen them myself.
There is a clear vinyl 7" out, is it worth picking up?
