Shit! How do you say that in Swedish? Busy, busy, busy, and things are falling through the virtual cracks. Here’s an update with more reader recommendations. Goddamn I think I like this new format.

Erik Hallden has listened to a ton of British pop. I hear so much of Jazz Butcher that it’s uncanny. Erik’s new song “If I Ever Get Married” somehow name drops John Cale, Lou Reed and Harry Bellefonte (somehow rhyming Bellefonte with Del Monte and John Cale with cocktail). I haven’t heard a better indie pop song all year, how `bout you? RIYL Pelle Carlberg, Jonathan Richman, Jens Lekman and/or even The Smiths.

Pinto sent over his new song and it’s a lovely spinoff of “Little Drummer Boy” called “Restless Heart”.

UK artist Monster Bobby sent us his remix of “Out On The Pier” by Marit Bergman. He’ll be appearing in Sweden. Here are the dates:
Landet in Stockholm on the 18th
Nationernas Hus in Linkoping on the 19th
Debaser in Malmo on the 20th
Out On The Piss (Remix)
How do you say what in swedish? The title? “Årets bästa (charmigaste) sång (plus nånting nytt från Pinto, och en remix på Marit Bergman från Monster Bobby)” Try Google Translate, it's okey actually… Btw, I like your blog!
no I meant how do you say “shit”?
Skit!
