It’s important to remember – while bands like Radiohead and NIN are meaking international headlines by giving their music away – that bands have been doing this for quite a while, and continue to do so, obviously realizing that the business models for music distribution are rapidly changing. One group of guys that deserve attention [...]

This year in music
Music’s been a huge part of my life this year. A lot of events, gadgets, bands and online initiatives have played a part in that, so I’ve decided to make a personal top ten of my year in music. 10) A spanking new iPod. Early on this year I got a 30gig black iPod, and [...]

Familjen – Fine Swedish music
Admittedly, I have a soft spot for all things Swedish. I can’t explain it – that’s just the way it is. Earlier on today Massi posted a YouTube vid under the headline Strangely fascinating video – it is indeed. And the lyrics are sooo Swedish it’s like, well, music to my ears… The band behind [...]

Speaking of DJs
Yeah, I know – it’s kinda off topic for my blog, but in keeping with the last couple of posts, check out these kids doin their thang.

They are Birdy Nam Nam and besides posting vids on youtube, they’ve done two albums (to my knowledge – correct me if I’m wrong) in a style that [...]
Skillz & Collaboration
Amazing what these turntablists can do when they come together. Collaboration is the way to go!
NOO! Pandora dies outside of the states
I thought the whole point of the internet was to transcend borders and bring us closer. I thought the point was that it didn’t matter if I was sitting in Denmark, the US or Japan. This email from a clearly dissapointed Tim Westergren leads me to believe otherwise; Dear Pandora listener, Today we have some [...]
Skits on lastfm
I like Lastfm a lot. For a while I only used Pandora, but a fellow Jaikee (geeky, I know, but that’s what we call each other, I’ve been told) asked me if I was on lastfm, and I got back on the bandwagon. I won’t go into all the great features – I’m pretty sure [...]
Chris Minh Doky @ Vega last night
Amazing concert – this guy is the absolute embodiment of cool – the peak of the show, at least to me, was when Doky was joined by friend Kasper Winding… wow!
