Well, just to let you know that I got it this morning. I'm number 7 on a list of nineteen and I'll be sending it to Ulf Harnhammar in Sweden today or tomorrow (depending on whether I manage to pick up a C100 cassette at lunchtime).

Hey gang, I got the following message: According to Andreas Kierst: is it still possible to pu me on the Finnish Tape Chain ? If so here is my adress: Andreas Kierst Ernst-Moritz Arndt-Str. 3 06114 Halle Germany --- So, I would kindly ask the person who is in the possession of the tape at the moment (or will receive it next in case it is at the mercy of international post right now) to add Andreas at the end of the list of subscribers of the Finnish chain tape.

Well, just to let you know that I got it this morning. Great! I hope you liked at least a couple of the tracks there. * PS: Kimmo, what's that funny jazzy song at the beginning of side A? Well...some time ago I found this tape called 'Robinin jytajumppa' in a box of discarded stuff back at my parents' house. It is from mid-70's I think and it's one of those 'workout' things that were hip at that time. I can still remember my mum swinging to that tape, uh, 20 years ago or so... It's even funnier if you understand the lyrics which go something like "...right now you hear some groovy music, don't you feel how your toes are tapping to its beat? You have a sense of rhythm!" etc. I forget the rest... :) Kimmo ----------------------------- Date: Mon, 20 May 96 16:12:00 PDT From: James Hoye Subject: Re: Cloudberry Jam @ Dublin Castle >This is good news.

Sorry for a slight delay in posting this reply, but I'm only on the digest list. I live on the Suffolk/Essex border about 70 miles east (100-110km) of London. Although I am based near Royston (50m/80km north/east) from London, I am at present working in London (behind Victoria station). Confused, well I don't blame you, but I sort of qualify as London based! Sean (and any others), it seems that I'd probably enjoy CBJ too (I presently like the Cardigans, although I have yet to see them live - as well as having a (growing) interest in Stina Nordenstam). Eggstone is another that occasionally crops up on the Cardigans list (see http://www.mech.kth.se/~moch for more info including their now official homepage) - perhaps I'd like them too. Although I posted a question a couple of months ago (Stina Nordenstam), I haven't posted anything since, so this goes some way towards redressing the balance.

I was there, but I can't say I was too impressed... Ok, he acted like a total lunatic, but the thing was that you could really feel that he was *acting*. It just wasn't for real, and you couldn't help feeling a bit embarrased about the whole thing. The music was pretty good, though. Like Union Carbide with a touch of The Doors thrown in. And the support act, Sobsister, were really good too. Reminded me a bit of Elastica, not only because their singer looked a lot like Justine Frischman. Now, over to something completely different... I saw an ad for something called Dakar Pop at Gula Villan in Stockholm. A free festival with a bunch of Swedish bands (Bear Quartet, Cloudberry Jam, Busty etc.), and, to my uttermost suprise, one of the very very few british bands that have managed to get me exited during the last year, Quickspace Supersport (with ex-Faith Healer Tom Cullinan). Does anyone have any more info about this festival? And does anyone know if QSSP have any other scandinavian dates booked?

Great! I really wonder who they are.. maybe it's Unun? But, on the other hand, it can be anyone. Howcome you Icelanders use them double words? I mean, "Icy Icy", "Unun", "Gus Gus".. :-) By the way, about the tape - I have copied it today, and it will be in the mail to Marten tomorrow (thursday). I'll post a short "what I thought" as soon as possible, though I have to say that Unun is _definitely_ my favourite!

(Source: John B) Ceilidh - the songs on that compilation CD you have been reading about here is actually almost completely decided on, and that means that a list will follow here: Brainpool - "At School", Cardigans - "Rise & Shine", Cod Lovers - "Bye Bye Pain", Dream - "Love's a Drug", HappyDeadMen - "Science Fiction", Lunchroom Manners - "Pete Best", Nashville Neurotics - "Lost Highway", Persuaders - "Her New Candy", Saturday Kids - ?, Sister James - "This Current Doom", Sonic Surf City - "Surfin' Kitty", Stevepops - "Waiting For The Summer", Suredo - "Sonic Atmosphere", Thee Expression - "Inspire You", The Bear Quartet - "Headacher". (Source: John B) Copenhagen - Rockfestival suffered a blow today when Prince cancelled. The reason apparently was that he wanted to spend some time with his pregnant wife. (Source: ZTV Nytt) HappyDeadMen - (Trampolene) played a secret gig in Stockholm last week, though it was not a secret for long. They played for 1600 students in an area as big as Grona Lund with everything you could imagine at such a location. Other bands that played were Vildsvin, This Perfect Day and Thore Skogman! (Source: Scandinavian Indie) Jaune - a band that is said to have a sound similar to Smashing Pumpkins-Jam- Popsicle will play in Boras at Karen on friday (May 24th). Rumors say that this band is somewhat of a favourite among a couple of major labels, which usually means that a contract is not far away. (Source: Scandinavian Indie) Roskilde - festival in Denmark announced it's almost complete program on May 20th, and with that, information regarding the whole event. As this information is pretty lengthy, you will probably be better off checking out their web-site: http://www.Roskilde-Festival.dk or SIN's at: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~chief/ofest96.html. But, noting the Scandinavian link, SOME of the scandinavian bands playing has to be listed here: Denmark: Passion Orange, Ruby Fruit, Jungle, Baal, Merzy, Bleeder, Grope, Hotel Hunger, Boghandle, Kashmir, Strawberry Slaughterhouse, Psyched Up Janis, Pretty Maids, D.A.D., Fire Music, Sort Sol and Dizzy Mizz Lizzy. Sweden: No Fun At All, Kent and Pineforest Crunch. Norway: Bel Canto. Finland: El{kel{iset, Iceland: Bj|rk. And two I'm not sure where they come from: Kinky Vibes and Rinneradio. I just like to add a few other names that blows me away: Cocteau Twins, Sebadoh, Spain, Mazzy Star and Cypress Hill (yes my music taste is pretty stoned, I know). But like stated before, please check their web- pages for the complete information. (Source: Roskilde Festival) Smart! - ex-Stevepops rumors say that, and I quote, "totally brilliant song 'Almost Summer' (their finest to date and the only popsong I've heard concerning hayfever) from the Toodle sessions may be released as a Stevepops/Smart! split 7" as soon as the first Smart! works are starting to appear." The band rehearsed for the first time this week (though without a drummer - drummers sign up!). They share the rehearsing place with Fireside and Monster.

I saw HoW as support to Olle Ljungstrom at Universitetet. I was pretty drunk at the occasion, but i remember them playing good rock with a playful attitude. Students band i would believe.

Anyone joining me at Tanto (Stockholm) tonight for the Monostar gig. >> I can't remember, but someone told me they were good... ;) > >I would have if I had known about it about a day earlier. :-( >How was it? Hmm. I wasn't too impressed at the gig, but listening to my livetape afterwards, they're pretty OK. OK, they're four young indie guys, i think the singer is from Gotland ;) Anyway, they played some melancholic but still powerful indie, guitars somewhere between Catherine Wheel and Slowdive, some of the melodies are Oasis but played in minor chords. Monostar still lack stage precense, ok not easy in this little shack called Tantogarden. And i couldn't really focus on the singers voice, he seemed to be a bit nervous. What saved them was the original guitar, the player has a big electronic monster pedal processor, and sometimes he plays the strings at the top instead of down by the mikes, making it go "krrrch!". The lyrics could be interesting, if sung with more intensity, not just Mumbled/spoken. But they'll learn, i'm sure.

Under my visit in Indonesia i heard both Wannadies and This Perfect Day on the radio. But i did t find any releases in the recordstores.

Here is the track list The Wannadies - You and me song (Indolent records) BMG You And Me Song Everybody Loves Me I like You A Lalalala lot You & Me Song (Lounge version) The Wannadies - How Does It Feel ?

After listening to it a couple of times I'm bound to agree with whoever (Erik?) said that Unun stands out here. I especially love the track together with Pall Oskar, "Love Wins" -- how true :) But is it only me, or do Unun sound very much like Darling Buds at times? Especially the first 2 songs. What more... I must say that Texas Jesus failed to make very big impact on me. And Reptile are a little too... hmmm, folksy maybe. But Bellatrix/Kolrassa are very enjoyable. I was happy to see that included were tracks by Purrkur Pillnikk and Tappi Tikarrass, I've been very curious to hear these seminal Icelandic bands for a long time. I just wish there had been material by Theyr and Kukl on the tape too, but I suppose I can't get everything. The song by Ornamental, with the lovely Rose McDowall of Strawberry Switchblade fame, is a gem. I just love her soothing voice. And I was really happy that you taped a track from the wonderful HOH/Current 93 collaboration "Island", but I can't believe you didn't choose the opening track "Falling", with Bjork on backing vocals. It's probably the best song she was ever involved in (imho of course). Speaking of HOH, just recently I picked up the "Temperature Of Blood" album by Reptilicus (not on the tape, and not to be confused with Reptile), which is produced by HOH. Reptilicus is an Icelandic duo that is something like a mix of Current 93 and Skinny Puppy, pretty great if you're into synth/industrial music. Finally, some administrative blurbs. Andreas from Germany is added to the circulation list, but I vaguely recall that some dude from Greece also should be added to the list. If Albert kindly sends me his address I'll write it down at the end. Whatever became of Ham, btw? ----------------------------- Date: Wed, 29 May 1996 19:39:26 +0300 (EET DST) From: Albert Svan Sigurdsson Subject: Re: Icy Icy Tape Thanks to Martin for his humble (but honest) opinions.

"Hi. We are the Rolling Stones and this song is called 'Volkswagen blues'" (Thomas's - lead singer of the band - first words after entering the stage). It was great, definitely the gig of the year so far! The band was really tight and Thomas was dancing like... uh Thomas! I believe he was down in the audience three or four times, the most memorable being during "Mer an sa kan ingen bli". When he was about to sing "Vagar du va' radd star jag pa kna" (="If you dare to be afraid I'll stand on my knees") he ran off the stage and went down on his knees in the middle of the audience and sang the line from there! They played three of the four songs from the new EP, all except "Min trampolin". A lot of new songs were also played, including "Var ska skapet sta, gubbjavel?". Including the encore they played 16 songs. At the entrance they sold some merchandise including the last copies of the limited edition (700 copies) vinyl of the 1994 album, a 10" version of the new EP, the first EP on CD and a white t-shirt. A band called Sive opened for them. They only played about five songs, but sounded quite ok to me (though my friends thought they really sucked).

As Sound Affects put it in their latest issue (#30): " As a really lousy Bob Hund, but in Stockholmish. And then I mean REALLY lousy. 1 out of 5 stars. " The fact that EMI picked them up is worth to mention, don't you think!? When will Magnus Nygren (A&R) learn about life??? IMHO - It could be worse...
