It's late and I am tired. Luckily I am listening to the new EP by Australian band, The Lucksmiths. Titled "The Chapter in Your Life Entitled San Francisco", it's calm & gentle sounds will put me in the land of nod very shortly. The press release goes as such:
Triumphant return of Australian trio The Lucksmiths with an exceptional new EP and the band's first release since 'A Little Distraction' in 2003. Lead track 'The Chapter In Your Life Entitled San Francisco' is taken from the forthcoming album 'Warmer Corners' scheduled for April release and is one of those summery Lucksmiths pop hits with clever lyrics, tambourines, organ and strings. The EP also features three non-album tracks exclusive to this release - 'Young And Dumb' is a lighthearted tune with a great chorus, 'The Winter Proper' a melancholy piano rich song that captures the season perfectly, and 'I Started A Joke' a brilliantly understated cover of the adored Bee Gees' classic. Limited to 1000 copies in custom minijacket sleeve. Watch for US dates in support of the single and album in April and May.
It's a great EP and more on the release can be found here.

Rough Bunnies have a new 13 track CDR out. Titled "Rough Bunnies Saved My Life" it's full of lo-fi pop tunes worth owning! Songs I Wish I Had Written say They’re lo-fi and they’re back. This record is divided in two parts: the first is called “rough-set” and the second is called “slow-fi”. The Rough Bunnies is a Swedish duo that has become famous for playing lo-fi pop at its very best. The purity of these songs gives you the same fresh feeling that, usually, only the spring is able to deliver.
And they are not wrong there! I hope to get a full review up soon but in the meantime you can download two tracks from the release:
Rough Bunnies - Dance With Your Shadow
Rough Bunnies - I Spy On Your Heart

Sultans Of Ping FC were an Irish band that appeared during the early 1990's. They released a few singles and a couple of albums, the best known being the catchy debut single "Where's Me Jumper?" which no doubt some of you pogo'ed too in the clubs many moons ago (ok just me then). The band scored a minor hit or two in the UK Charts and you can read more about them on these excellent pages.
Sultans Of Ping FC - Where's Me Jumper
Sultans Of Ping FC - Veronica
If those tracks have whetted your appetite head here to download most of the singles and two albums.
Persil release a new EP entitled "Tune-Up" in the UK on April 25th. It includes possible single of the year "Happy" which is one, if not the, best things I have heard this year. The band (from the Netherlands) have been touring recently supporting the likes of The Wedding Present and Melys.
You can buy the Tune-Up EP from the shop at Transformed Dreams.
Persil - Happy
Persil - Sofa Adventures
Visit their site to download two tracks taken from John Peel Sessions.
I received this e-mail recently.
Excuse the unsolicited e-mail. I'm letting music bloggers know that i've set up a new John Peel listening post, after the sad demise of Dave McGurgan's one. Please pass the message on, via e-mail and/or blog, to anyone who might enjoy hearing the shows. The site is http://www.jonhorne.co.uk/jptapes/jptapes.html
. There's currently a 1979 show on the page. Plenty more to follow.
Well worth a listen!
In future I will be posting the tracks of the week I have featured previously on the main website in this blog. Active Restraint were the forerunners of the Mighty Lemon Drops. These tracks come from the bands unreleased second single which was due for release around 1982/83.
Active Restraint - Head First

Melys have a new album out at the moment. Titled "Life's Too Short" it is an excellent album with some pretty strong tracks on it. I must post my review of it on Sounds XP soon!
You can download an exclusive remix of one of the tracks from the bands website.
Melys - You Wannit Deep (Skinflick Mix)
The band recorded numerous sessions for John Peel and are best known for topping the Festive 50 in 2001 with "Chinese Whispers".

Melys - I Don't Believe In You
Melys - un darllenwr lwcus
Take Your Medicine is an mp3 blog focussing on the current UK music scene. Well worth a look and currently has downloads from the Futureheads, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand and many more.
Also on the same bill at How Does It Feel To be Loved's first ever Presents night (alongside Sambassadeur and Wintergreen) are Vermont who are a band based in both London and Dresden. Listening to them I hear some strong hints of C86 indie as well as Beat Happening in their music (I am just a sucker for those twee indie female backing vocals).
Vermont - Bullfight In Bogna
You can download five more tracks from the band via their Vitaminic page.
Wintergreen I believe come from Reading and remind me of artists like Belle & Sebastian, Aberfeldy and the like. I cannot say fairer than that!
Wintergreen will be playing with Sambassadeur on 07/04/05 at the Windmill, Brixton in London.
Wintergreen - Squirrel In Wallspace
Two more great tracks can be downloaded from the band's website including the epic "Three Heads".

I picked up a few CDR's from Songs I Wish I Had Written, an excellent mail order site from Sweden which specialises in Indie Pop.
My favourite, and now looks like it's unavailable, is the #3 EP from Sibiria. This EP featured three lovely songs sung in their native Swedish and are all well worth hearing. Luckily the band has posted the EP for you in all it's glory and at 320 k/bits as well.
Sibiria - Kastalskolan 9E
Sibiria - Precis som vanligt
Sibiria - Kilometer mellan oss
If you head for their download page you can also download their earlier tracks.
I know that Sambassadeur have been featured on other blogs but there is a reason for that. It's because they are so good. Like so many excellent indie pop bands before them they hail from Sweden but because of the interest have now started to write their webpage in English.
They are playing in London soon courtesy of a bands night being run by the excellent How Does It Feel To be Loved on April 9th. I hope to be there!
Sambassadeur - Between The Lines

Pop Will Eat Itself have made available the Hit The North Session they recorded in 1992. The band reformed and played some gigs earlier this year.
PWEI - Bulletproof
PWEI - Harry Dean Stanton
PWEI - I Have Always Been A Coward Baby
I mentioned Santa Dog on a recent post, raving about their Throwing Muses-ish track Delicate, from the EP of the same name. I was after buying the EP and you can now purchase it direct from the website for £5 using Paypal. Well worth it!
Kicker have a new album titled "Our Wild Mercury Years" due for release later this year on the Track & Field label. Some of the band members have been working on other projects but now they are currently working on new songs.
Kicker - Blue
Older Songs:
Kicker - Chancifer
Kicker - On Your Floor
Kicker - Tomorrow Always Comes
The 60's revivalists Invisible Lead Soup have a new single out at the moment. The band draw their influences from the likes of the Kinks, Beatles, Monkees, Zombies, Animals etc and update it for todays audience.
Sounds XP think highly of it as this review testifies. You can hear previews of the tracks on the bands website and I have to agree with the reviewer that "Tea In The Garden" is the best track.
There are some older tracks available to download. More can be found on their music page.
Invisible Lead Soup - They Are Making Monkeys Out Of You
I went on the Camden Crawl last night. I didn't managed to see all the bands I would have liked especially at the end of the night slot which saw The Wedding Present, The Subways and The Buzzcocks competeing against each other.
We started in Lock 17 where we saw Art Brut. I found them entertaining without liking them although they did close their set with the best two songs they have got, "We Formed A Band" and "I've Got A New Girlfriend".
Next off we tried to see the Mystery Jets but could not get in. We ended up at the Canaervan Castle to see The Kooks. They reminded me of The Stairs with their retro pop but without the class. At least their girlfriends enjoyed the set, bopping away at the front. We then proceeded to walk the length of Camden to get to the Koko. We popped in to the Ballroom to see the frankly awful Motley Crue wannabees The Towers Of London. I stomached two songs before we exited stage left.
At The Koko we caught the last four songs of Maximo Park's set. They were excellent. Do yourself as favour and pick up their "Apply Some Pressure" single which is out now. The next band on were The Magic Numbers. I have really had enough of these folky inspired bands. What makes me laugh is watching people, hooked by the hype, forcing themselves to like them. Yet if they heard The Mamas & Papas they would turn their noses up. People The Magic Numbers are the Mamas & Papas for gawds sake! That said the new single, the title of which escaped me, was pleasant enough but in general I, along with those I was with, were not impressed and we made our way back down Camden High Street.
The Canaervan castle was rammed so that ruled out The Subways so we headed back to Lock 17 to see a glorious set by The Wedding Present. Hopefully you all know, that with the exception of Gedge, this line up bears no resemblance to the classic line up of old and is in fact the last line-up of Cinerama. However don't let that detract from what was a mighty performance. As well as new material the band played "Kennedy", "My Favourite Dress" and more surprisngly "Once More" which was the bands debut from 20 years ago. I have to say though that the mosh pit consisted of the oldest moshers I have ever seen and I was lucky to dodge the zimmer frames. Absolutely fantastic and I will have to get some tickets for the current tour.
Overall a good night!

It seems that the Russian Authorities have declared that allofmp3.com is legal and no action, at least for a couple of years, will be taken against the site. Of course the service may not be legal in your country so check before using it. The Register writes:
Yes, AllofMP3.com offers copyright music. No, it does not always have the prior permission of the copyright holder to do so. But Russian law was written to prevent CD and DVD piracy - copyright infringement through a physical medium. Its online manifestation was not something taken into account by legislators.
AllofMP3.com maintains what it's doing is legal, under the terms of a licence granted to it by the Russian copyright licensing authorities. Essentially, it can transmit CD content without first gaining the authorisation of the copyright owner, provided it makes a nominal payment for the privilege, which it claims it does. It says its distribution of tracks across the Internet of digital audio files is equivalent to a broadcaster or a cable company transmitting songs as part of their programming.

Compute is one Ulrika Mild who hails from Sweden. Ulrika makes what she describes as lo-fi synthpop. It's certainly that and much more. With a hint of Clinic, and in some cases 80's synthpop about her, the tracks available on her download page make enjoyable listening.
"Dance With Me" is the lead track from her recently released EP on Freedom Road Records. I found it to be be very raw and in your face so you had better accept her offer of a dance before she gets pissed off! "Turn Your Head" is a much mellower affair and set me off drifting in space.
Compute are playing in London at the "Wired Women" night at the Spitz, Old Spitalfields Market in London on the 31st of March. I for one may be there.

I see that an indie-mp3.com site has sprung up. It looks like it's a music download service in it's infancy. It may explain some of the e-mails I have been getting recently.
I must admit to not wanting to buy that domain name especially as it was not in use for the first two years of this site's existence! Maybe I should have done in case any confusion arises. Oh well. Good luck to them anyway.

I mentioned the band a few days a go and have received another e-mail from band member Magnús. He explains the story about the track I liked, 17 juni.
"It's great to get such a favorable review. 17. juni is indeed very jolly. It's about our national holiday, which is held on well..june 17th. Then everybody goes downtown and watches some shows, eats hot dogs and candyfloss, and buys a balloon. The national holiday is held on the birthday of a politician who was mostly responsible for iceland gaining it's independence, and downtown there's an old weatherbeaten statue of him. However, many people, especially the younger generation have no idea who this guy was, nor why the independence is celebrated on this day, so the song is about him, standing there motionless in the crowd, unable to participate but so much wanting to get a hot dog and a balloon too, not to mention candyfloss, after all it is his birthday. We're sort of hoping the song might become a hit around june 17th and become a regular part of that day in the future."
The band are recording some new material and are after releasing an album in the summer. Let's hope they do as they are brilliant!
Nice to see there is some interest in the band. Think Small likes them and puts me to the sword over 17 Juni! Okay if I am pressed Snjófólk (The Snow People) is the better track but 17 juni just captures some of the spirit and laughter music is so desperately missing these days.

I have been recieving plenty of e-mails from bands and artists seeking exposure or from fans pointing me in their direction. I am happy to help out but I am getting so many these days that it's hard to dedicate a post to each and every one. So hopefully these bands don't mind a smaller push than the ones I normally give by rounding up some of them here.
First up are Starflower. This lot hail from Finland and their music is very reminiscent to shoegazing or the likes of rockier indie bands such as the Catherine Wheel. They have four tracks for downloading including the track How come the days seem so long? which I have enjoyed. A word of advice to the band. Tag your files properly or no-one is going to know who you are!
Face Parade have written to me before but their earlier e-mail must have been caught up in my spam filter. They write that "....We're a New York based band that has been compared to Pavement, The Velvet Undergroud, Broken Social Scene, and Modest Mouse." Their site is one of the best designed I have seen for a while and they have several mp3's for downloading. I gave "Sun For Everyone" and "Backfire on The Desert Shot" a listen and it has encouraged me to try and download some of their other tracks in future. Again another band that needs to tag their tracks correctly.
The Babylon Cowboys play a rockier sort of music compared to that I am normally used to listening to. Not my bag to be honest but you cannot help but be impressed by the vocalist's voice. It's incredibly strong. Judge for yourself on the track "Reflection".
The Blue Van have an annoying site designed in Flash. They are Danish and state that they make music inspired by the likes of The Small Faces, Cream and The Pretty Things. I downloaded a track from their new album "The Art Of Rolling". I can't link to it as you need to supply an e-mail address (let's hope they do away with that as it put's people off) but "Revelation Of Love" is what's described here in England as Pub Rock. That's not an offensive term by the way as it describes rock mixed with R&B, a bit like Dr Feelgood. Its enjoyable but easily forgettable as well.
I have saved the best (in my opinion anyway!) to last. Santa Dog hail from the west country in England and say that "....We're a new independent Bristol based band, female-fronted, heartfelt delicately fried guitar pop." And who am I to argue with that? They have made available a track called "Delicate", the title track of an EP release. It's a wondrous track and is very much in the vein of the Throwing Muses. Soon as I find out where the EP is sold it will be in my grasp. The site is very beautiful to gaze at - very 4AD-ish too!
Don't worry if you have e-mailed me and you have not been covered yet. Another round-up will take place soon.

The excellent Subways have posted a download only limited edition version of their next single. Titled "Oh Yeah" (Drausse Version) it's an acoustic version of the same track which is due for release shortly. But hurry. It's only up until the 21st of this month which is the date when the actual single is released.
The Subways - Oh Yeah (Drausse Version) Click here for a m4a version (itunes etc).
The Subways main site can be found here.
Dýrðin or to give them the English name they have given themsleves, Catchy Tunes Inc, hail from Iceland. Magnús from the band writes that their music is like that of the All Girl Summer Fun Band. He adds that "...our music is very similar to them, happy and naive". I also think that there are hints of Talulah Gosh and Saint Etienne about the band as well.
The band sing in their native language but for the unadventurous out there don't let that put you off as it is a lovely sounding language when sung and adds a certain charm to the lovely little pop tunes they make. They have five demo mp3's available on their site. My favourite is 17 júní which sounds very jolly. Knowing my luck it's most probably a gloomy song!
Dýrðin - 17 júní

Taken From Volume 10
Edwyn Collins' wife, Grace, says the singer is "doing well" despite suffering a second brain hemorrhage last week. She has again thanked fans for their support following the singer’s brain haemorrhage last Sunday.
Grace has also answered queries from fans posted on the site about where to send flowers. She states he's not allowed flowers where he is receiving treatment but goes on to write, "Your thoughts and best wishes are more than enough and one day he'll read them all. Grace and the family"
In a previous message she revealed that Edwyn underwent an emergency operation on Friday. She wrote: "He has come through it as well as can be hoped for, and is continuing to fight. Thank you for all the loving thoughts. It means a lot.”
A short statement from his management last week was previously the only information available. It read:
"Edwyn Collins suffered a cerebral haemorrhage on Sunday night and has been in hospital since, where doctors are trying to stabilise his condition. As soon as we will have more information we will let you know."

I like mashups which are normally the vocals of one track mixed over the backing of another. I frequently visit Get Your Bootleg On which is the home of all things related to this excellent art form!
One set of mixers are Team 9 who have created The Manchester Booted EP. This includes their own remix of The Stone Roses "Waterfall" and a blinding Primal Scream Vs Tweet bootleg called "Oops I'm Loaded".
The Stone Roses - Waterfall (Team 9 Remix)
Primal Scream Vs Tweet - "Oops I'm Loaded"
Visit their download page for more tracks from the EP and some other mixes they have done including a rather spiffing Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Vs Mousse T!
