David Sandström Overdrive - Songs That Maybe Won’t Be Forgotten

Underrated Swedish musicians [an arbitrary but far too high number]. Seriously — the albums Om Det Inte Händer Nåt Innan Imorgon Så Kommer Jag and Pigs Lose should be in everyone’s collection. Especially the first one.

Nirvana — Sliver

Watched Kurt Cobain:  About a Son yesterday. Basically a long long interview made from  even longer interviews accompanied with image sequences that has nothing to do with what’s being said and still everything about it. Kind of poetic in that early Herzog documentarian idiom, but not quite as haunting. Interesting though, as well a occasional flashes of brilliance both visually and audibly.

Scout Niblett — Cherry Cheek Bomb

I love the new Scout Niblett album to pieces. My pieces.

Scout Niblett - I.B.D.

Not sure what it says about me, but I find the feedback and underscoring drums very hypnotic and beautiful. I can’t say soothing, because there’s too much things that haunt the songs. Well, damn, I say soothing anyway. At times. It goes in circles, further and further inwards to the centre. Reminds me of a line in Jeff Noon’s needle in the groove: “ah shit, when all the broken children learn to dance.” As much as one can dance to some of these minimal songs, but when the body can’t move the soul will.

Everything I know about Canadian politics, I’ve learnt from this show. It is a problem because it was made between 1980-84. So all the political holabaloo is a bit out of date and has slided into historical irrelevance.

If I hadn’t been a sloth in waking up, I’d probably would have written down some pretty personal and embarrassing things here. Thank God for laziness, yes? So let’s have a smallish Swedish tune instead.

Wilmer X’ Slaget Om En Flickas Hjärta, one of their best.

Atomic Kid, from Versus vastly underrated Two Cents Plus Tax. I almost wrote “most underrated record ever” but it’s from 1998 and I realized that there’s probably kids (being creepy) reading this that’s born after this. I still have a hard time accepting Internet-people born after 1990 — they’re kids! They should have better things to do! And then I feel old.

The song. Right. “Armageddon” is a damn catchy phrase. Versus, they’re great. You should listen and take them to your heart too.
