Listen: Silver Jews - Suffering Jukebox

My favourite song from Silver Jews' 2008 album "Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea".

Silver Jews - Suffering Jukebox


I've been listening to this Nashville, Tennessee band ever since 2002 when a young punk performed a raw version of Smith and Jones Forever at a party at my long past residence in Aarhus, Konvolutfabrikken Royal.

Also check out this drunken singalong to scenes from Planet of the Apes:

Bon Iver - Beach Baby - Lyrics (+ Live Version stream)

Bon Iver - Beach Baby - Lyrics:

When you're up
tell your lucky one
to know that you'll leave
don't you look when you're fleeing
and learn not to hear keys

Only hold 'till your coffee wounds
but don't hurry to speak
once a time put a tongue
in your ear on the beach
and you clutched clicking heels

And I, I'm the carnival with (peats)
and i'll probably start a fleet

my woman and I
know what we are for

Summer comes to multiply

Quote: Technological Development

"One of the great irritations of modern technology is that when some new development has made my life palpably worse and is continuing to find new and different ways to bedevil it, I'm still allowed to complain for only a year or two before the peddlers of coolness start telling me to get over it already Grampaw--this is just the way life is now.

I'm not opposed to technological developments. Digital voice mail and caller ID, which together destroyed the tyranny of the ringing telephone, seem to me two of the truly great inventions of the late 20th century..."

Kanye West - 808's and Heartbreak (stream full album)

The full album:
http://www.deezer.com/#music/album/257435

I heard this talented artist at Roskilde Festival 2006 and fell asleep because it was so predictable (and for some other reasons... hey, it was late night!).
But his new album is very unpredictable. I like it!
Auto-tune wasn't invented in vain!






Discover Kanye West!

Best Danish Christmas Song...

...and probably the world's best!?

The Raveonettes - The Christmas Song (unofficial video, I guess!):

Lyrics: The Raveonettes - The Christmas Song

All the lights are comin’ on now
How I wish that it would snow now
I don’t feel like going home now
I wish that I could stay

All the trees are on display now
And it’s cold now
I don’t feel like going home now
I wish that I could stay

I wish that I could walk...
I wish that I could walk you home

All the lights are comin’ on now
How I wish that it would snow now
I don’t feel like going home now
I wish that I could stay

Santas coming to town
with a suitcase in his hand
Santas coming to town
with sequins in his hair
