I would like to say that i found the writers very good, and what I escpecially liked was how they in an article with pulp, really asked Jarvis questions which he hadn't prepared, and that gave a picture of how not witty he really is. And I really liked an article of bjork. One negative thing is that they are maybe a little too subjective, and that is not good if you don't agree with them. philip: finlandssvensk -och stolt. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 31 Oct 1996 17:33:12 +0200 From: "teir, philip" Subject: sebadoh. stockholm.

Thanks! John Darnielle and Peter(?) Hughes(?), the Inland Empire acoustic-lo-fi experience hits Studion. They actually sound exactly like their (or his) recorded stuff. Fast strumming, intense vocals. Highly recommendable. The set here in Stockholm consisted both of the duo together, but also sessions with each guy performing solo. I think, but this is really strange, that they did a cover of a Tia (the Swedsih Blondie) song called 'Blind', 'Blinded by Love' or something!!! Can someone confirm this? But hurry down to Lund to see them. They would play all their best stuff in Lund because Linkoping woudn't be any good. In Linkoping they eat bands like Mountain Goats for breakfast. ;-) -Christer ----------------------------- Date: Thu, 31 Oct 1996 21:55:16 +0100 (MET) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: LNS For immediate release: LNS warning at Herrgar'n in Linkoping tonight... :-) //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 31 Oct 1996 21:55:45 +0100 (MET) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: Singles pre-reviews... I just can't let these new singles and EPs pass by without comments (reviews will follow): 1. Coo - "Heavenly Blue" (Tangerine) This band will receive my highest score and best review ever (when I get to that point in the stack of CDs). Such innovative guitar riffs, fantastic sound, gorgeous lyrics (even though they're a bit low), I BEG ON MY BARE KNEES THAT THEY WILL COME AND PLAY IN SWEDEN !!!! because I have heard how even more amazing they are live. ANYONE? ANYWHERE? I know we have booking agencies / companies subscribing to this list. Here's your chance! No one should be surprised that they are from Finland, because that's apparently the next Scandinavian country moving into the "Big" indie scene. Coo _is_ indie. Coo _is_ amazing. Coo's "Heavenly Blue" _is_ the next CD5 you're going to buy. 2. Doris Days - "Quiet Withdrawal" (Some Pearls) I have never heard such addictive urban trip-hop/ambient in my life. And their full length "Live In Poland" is even better! Fantastic rhythms, scattered noise throughout every song like telephone conversations, rain, wind, whatever! Nowhere near Portishead (which many of the reviewers have thought suitable to compare them with) but extremely and totally 120% better. Okay, they are originally from Linkoping, but I have never met them, never heard them before this single. If one trip-hop/ambient record was rewarded "album of the year" then "Live In Poland" is my choice. So beautiful vocals from Lisa Carlioth I melt on the spot. And the urban sound background sounds fits the production so well it's amazing. I don't know which one of the guys who sings, but his voice is so pleasant to listen to. The lyrics are so thought out, I can't help but love it! Just say "I held you, you held me down..." or "I dressed you, you undressed me..." is so... thought through I can't imagine a Swedish band would think of it! But they do, and they have! Slask Records (sub label Some Pearls) have a gem here that I hope will be ground breaking in Sweden and abroad. I have not heard something this beautiful and addictive from Sweden in a long time. If you're even only thinking that you maybe like trip-hop and ambient, you better get this album (and single) immediately. 3. Loosegoats - "Country Crock" (Startracks) Like former member Jens said, this _is_ the best they have done so far! Lo-fi of course, rattling guitars of course, Christian with his "J. Mascis" vocals of course. Lo-fi can't sound better than this. 4. Blissful - "Vitamins" (AWSF) Oh my oh my, the perfect single (the album, also called "Vitamins" isn't even close to this single unfortunately, even though it does have the song "Vitamins" on it). Two hits, fantastic, devastating, beautiful, far from what I have heard with the band earlier (only compilation tracks). If you're going to buy ONE SMASH HIT single you're not going to take out of your CD player this year, well, this is the one. 5. The All Janet - "Second" (AWSF) One of my current favourite West Side bands (together with Backfish Popundret, Mufflon 5 and Blissful) today - beautiful "edgy" music with amazing guitars and "Stone Gossard vocals" when the songs hit the electric guitar-filled choruses. //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 31 Oct 1996 21:55:02 +0100 (MET) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: Sin's Music on the TV [01-Nov-96] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scandinavian Indie MUSIC ON THE TV Scandinavian Indie November 1st -> November 7th Day Date Artist/What TV Program Channel Time --- ----- ---------------------- ------------------- ----------- ----- Fri 1/11 Pop-TV Pop-TV Z-TV 16.00 Fireside Sen Kv{ll Med Luuk TV 4 22.45 Sat 2/11 Video Top List Toppen Z-TV 17.35 R Musikmagasinet Musikmagasinet Z-TV 18.20 R Pop-TV Pop-TV Z-TV 23.00 R Sun 3/11 Fireside Sen Kv{ll Med Luuk TV 4 15.10 R Video Top List Toppen Z-TV 15.30 R Mon 4/11 Video Top List Toppen Z-TV 18.15 Bob Hund Bullen SVT 1 19.15 Oasis Unplugged MTV Europe 21.30 R Tue 5/11 Musikmagasinet Musikmagasinet Z-TV 22.00 Alternative Nation Alternative Nation MTV Europe 00.00 Wed 6/11 Musikmagasinet Musikmagasinet Z-TV 18.15 R Video Top List Voxpop SVT 1 19.10 Oasis Unplugged MTV Europe 00.00 R Thu 7/11 Listan Listan FTV 17.36 Musikbyr}n Musikbyr}n SVT 1 19.15 R = Rerun ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is also available on the Scandinavian Indie WWW pages at: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~chief/uptv.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ------------------------------- Date: Fri, 1 Nov 1996 21:23:17 +0200 (EET) From: Sami Rouhento Subject: Re: hi! > a tape made for me by sami during the indiepop list tape swap (sami are > you on this list?). hi maura, yep, i am here, and good thing it is too, cos otherwise i wouldn't know what the hell is happening in dear old scandinavia, being based in manchester for the time being. btw, the cardigans & popsicle are playing manchester in a couple of weeks time, can't wait... sami -------------------------------- Date: Fri, 1 Nov 1996 21:22:36 +0100 From: beluga.tsg@stockholm.mail.telia.com Subject: HELLACOPTERS HI ALL for anyone who's interested in Swedish music, the Hellacopters have released a new 7" single!

The gig in Linkoping was about 90 minutes long. If that didn't include all their best stuff I suppose the audience in Lund brought sleeping bags to the gig? Well, I liked their music, especially the song "In sickness and in college" because I could really recognize my own situation in it ('the books gets longer, the liquoer gets stronger'), but I think they could've shortened it a bit. But if all street musicians had these texts it would certainly be much funnier to take a walk in the centre of Stockholm. /Micke ----------------------------- Date: Sun, 3 Nov 1996 12:47:59 -0500 (EST) From: Chris Forsberg Subject: Unun!

Well, they play at Studion so it's somewhat more problematic getting tickets outside Sweden (in fact, it's pretty much a hassle when you live outside Stockholm even...) because (I think at least) the only places where you can buy tickets are from Mega, Freak Scene and Pet Sounds (all record stores in Stockholm) and at Studion of course. So you could always try to contact the venue directly, though I don't have their number, unfortunately. Oh, and as far as I know the minimum age is usually 18, but I'm sure those who live in Stockholm on this list can give you far better help. //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Nov 1996 04:25:04 +0100 (MET) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: Sin's Selected News [04-Nov-96] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scandinavian Indie SELECTED NEWS Scandinavian Indie November 4th, 1996 by Erik Soderstrom (chief@lysator.liu.se) "Remember where you heard it first" Contents: Backfish, Dada Girl, Fireside, Gentle Tuesday, Happy Todd, Lemonator, Penniless People of Bulgaria, Shallow Soundwave, Wilma. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Backfish - (AWSF) debut album producer Ken Stringfellow from the Posies says that the Posies are taking a break right now, and that is why he has found the time to produce Backfish's album Apparently he is getting lots of producing offers, and only picks the ones that interest him the most. That ought to say something about Backfish! (Source: Scandinavian Indie) Dada Girl - from Finland have replaced their bass player! The band's new bass player is Mikko Raisamo from Finnish favourites All Stars. (Source: Scandinavian Indie) Fireside - (StartRec) will also be opening for Sebadoh (last Selected News told about Loosegoats opening for them in Stockholm) on their tour, though this time it is in Munich (Germany) on November 6th! (Source: Scandinavian Indie) Gentle Tuesday - from Eskilstuna are working hard! There are plans in the making to release a 7" single on US label "Kitty boo" this winter! Stay tuned! (Source: Scandinavian Indie) Happy Todd - from Kalmar will go to the studio in a few weeks time to record songs for an upcoming CD single which is to be released on Spinsign early 1997. The Spinsign compilation CD previously reported about here has been cancelled on the other hand. The band opens for Bob Hund in Kalmar at Studentkaren on November 6th. (Source: Scandinavian Indie) Lemonator - (Warner Finland) have decided on a release date for their upcoming CD5 "Superb", and that's on November 11th, 1996! If the single will be released outside Finland or not has not yet been decided and no release date is set for the album yet either. (Source: Scandinavian Indie) Penniless People of Bulgaria - (AWSF) enters the studio this week in order to record seven new songs. A CDEP is planned for release on AWSF early 1997. The band has also recently made a video for the song "Velocity". (Source: Scandinavian Indie) Shallow Soundwave - play at Underground in Gothenburg on November 29th, so those of you who are not in Linkoping to watch Soundtrack of Our Lives know where to go instead! (Source: Scandinavian Indie) Wilma - (BMG Finland) is a band one should supposedly look out for, according to many sources. They are a band that has recorded three albums so far. They sing in Finnish and have a female singer. The music is something in the vein of Portishead and Radiohead. Sort of moody pop with sequencers, guitars & quiet vocals. Sometimes orgasmic guitar walls and sometimes low, calm and simple. Very melodic. They appeared on the Finnish top-list program "Listan" on FTV last thursday, where they played two songs from their new and recently released album "Suuri Valkea".

That's true, and I don't want to sound like I don't trust anyone, but perhaps it won't make it through the whole "CD chain"... no, but seriously, one really has to trust those who sign up on these chains, or there would never be any chains at all. Maybe we can have some kind of contest with the CD as 1:st prize when it has been through the chain? Or we could make extra CDs as well of course, but then those who want a CD will have to pay for it, and then we're probably looking at some kind of law suit, right? Any thoughts on how to solve this one? I have received letters from people who have the equipment necessary to make them, and who are willing to help out, so it is definitely worth discussing at least. //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 3 Nov 1996 23:30:46 -0800 From: xander@sirius.com Subject: Komeda in the US Hey, often enough I forget that I'm not the only US listmember. Komeda is on a brief tour of the US at this moment. Only two stops. And it's almost too late to tell you about the New York show, which is tommorow night. Well, it's still Sunday in California as I type this. The first show is Monday, the 4th of November at Fez. I don't know the time or the address. The second show is on Thursday (the 7th) at Spaceland, 1717 Silverlake Blvd, in Los Angeles. I think that it starts at 9:30, but you'd better check that detail for yourself. I'm going to make the trip down from SF to the LA show, so if anyone else will be there, e-mail me, and I'll describe my hair or something like that...

I think the minimum age is 18, but I'm not totally sure. I don't really pay attention to that anymore, since it's a long long time since I had that problem myself... (must've been when Killing Joke played in Stockholm around 84-85, and riots ensued outside the venue because very few of the true fans had reached required age...) Sometimes bands that play Studion do an all-ages matinee in the afternoon. Bob Hund and Refused have done it at least. --------------------------------- Date: 04 Nov 1996 10:55:28 +0100 From: Robert Cumming Subject: the Penniless People In article <199611040325.EAA13044@harpenden.lysator.liu.se>, chief@lysator.liu.se wrote: > Penniless People of Bulgaria - (AWSF) enters the studio this week in > order to record seven new songs.
