The Saints of Los Angeles didn’t turn me on… sorry to say

As usual, Agneta is the one in our crowd who always knows everything and are kind enough to share her knowledge. I think it was yesterday when she tipped me off that Mötley Crüe had released a teaser of a single from their new album “Dirt”. I tried to open and listen, with mixed feelings…. [...]

it’s…. BEOWULF!

Yesterday I finally caught Beowulf, the film that has been called this winter’s 300. As I thought that movie rated just above throwing up through your nose after too much tequila, my hopes weren’t too high. And Beowulf also had the major disadvantage of being animated. Despite the promise of heroes, costumes, swords and monsters, [...]

saul williams: the inevitable rise and liberation of niggy tardust

To me, Saul Williams used to be “the guy in Slam“. I basically knew he was a spoken word poet and not much more. But then I picked up his self titled album and was blown away. To me, it was everything that hip hop should, or could, be, but due to choice, isn’t. Like [...]

my pet peeve – regarding the slaughter of a great vintage hard rock song

It’s not that I hate covers, I just detest very bad, insignificant, unnecessary and shitty covers that will make me wanna throw up all over my keyboard… That feeling hit me earlier this week when I was trying to relax a bit from all the paperwork using a radio-station for some release.. There they were, [...]

dave gahan: hourglass (minute-by-minute-review)

So, when I was a wee little child, my very first musical love was Depeche Mode. All my friends had massive crushes on Dave Gahan, but I was genuinely only about the music. Until Songs of Faith and Devotion came out, at least. Then I sort of got the hang of the “OMG, DAVE!”-thingy. In [...]

300

There is nothing we like better than movies where people dress up in weird costumes and fight with swords. Well, maybe we like movies based on comic books almost as much. And we’re certainly not adverse to sweaty men in leather codpieces. So imagine if we were stoked when we finally got around to watching [...]

Minute-by-minute-video-review

Am bored. Am watching Z-TV which is showing new videos. Am deciding to give you a minute-by-minute review so you’ll know what to avoid.
You may thank me later.
20:29 Kid Rock: So Hott
ARGH! Cowboy jacket with silver fringes! GOD! You know how once you’ve seen something you can’t unsee it? Kid Rock in that jacket, [...]

tracy gang pussy, october 11th

Inga found this band on myspace and sort of liked what she heard, so since they were due to perform at Pub Anchor in Stockholm on October 11th, we decided to hike over there and give them a shot at impressing us.
They did however miss the opportunity, because at 10:30 pm they were still fiddling [...]

the prestige

Dear Mr. Nolan,
Yesterday me and Greta watched The Prestige, and quite frankly, it wasn’t all that. We found this to be a real pity because the general idea (i.e. having Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman in the same movie) was very good. So we just thought we’d drop you some tips on how it might [...]

the Baboon Show at Debaser 21/9

The first time we had the fortune to see The Baboon show, a punk-rock-band from Stockholm, was at the Peace&Love-festival in June this year. That day, we had seen a lot of okay gigs but the real euphoria never kicked in… that changed when this band entered the stage! To bad that the electric system [...]
