Don't kill Bambi

Today I found my self in the mood for catchy tunes, well crafted lyrics, and an organic vibe (it can happen to even the best). I remembered that somebody recommended checking out Brandi Carlile after seeing her show case on South by Southwest back in March. I hereby pass on that piece of advise.
Well pop music it is, though some might call it "singer - songwriter" but you should defiantly check her out.

Listen to: Brandi Carlile - Fall Apart Again (.MP3)

On Piracy (Documentary)

This is one of the best documentaries I have seen in a long time. If you are interested in the challenges the record industry is facing today - this movie is a "must see".

Oh yeah and by the way - it's available for free and legal download here.

"Each day, millions of youths from Canada and around the world download music and movies off of the Internet. This epidemic of "unauthorized" downloading has been cited by the record and film industries as being the prime cause for billions in losses. Politicians have come under tremendous pressure to pass legislation on the issue."

If you like this movie as much as I do - go donate a buck or two.

Gram Rabbit - Live

I totally recommend this live session with Gram Rabbit on Morning Becomes Eclectic. These guys are really fun to watch and sound absolutely fantastic. Their new CD is called Cultivation and is as great as the first one.

Primal Scream

I can't wait for the new Primal Scream album, Riot City Blues, to come out on June 5th. The first single is amazing. You can watch the video right here! That girl has to be by future wife...

Motors: Black Powder

Electro-bang yourself to this!

Midlake was the support act when Flaming Lips was playing in Tivoli gardens in Copenhagen last Wednesday. The video is from that concert, and the number they are performing is the mesmerizing number "Roscoe"! Their album "The trials of Van Occupanther" is due to hit the streets in july...

Oh yeah... The lips in Tivolis butifull concert hall wedensday night was absolutely and completely fantastic. Hit Parade, Aliens, Santa's, 100 giant orange balloons, and a confetti gallore! Everyone who has a performer in their stomack or allready perform stages around the world should be forced to see a Flaming Lips Show - just for inspiration.
This morning when i went to the library to study - i found confetti in my shoes, it made me turn the iPod to max, Do You Realize as the track, and drive in the sunshine through the copenhagen harbour. What a day what a day what a day!
