In case you missed the memo, my Mediafire account got wiped clean the other day, without warning or explanation. Very odd. Very annoying.

I'm working on reuploading shit at the moment, but there's no way I could or would upload everything again, so just for future reference: never expect a download link posted prior to this date to actually work. They might, but they could just as well not.

Hm. How utterly arse.

Oh well, I'll reupload my shit later. Stay tuned.

Metal Bastard ♥ The Red Hippie

2012-01-19T18:16:00.015+01:00

Last night, while looking around for some Sly & The Family Stone, I stumpled upon The Red Hippie, which within minutes became my new favorite blog.

What grazed my tired, jaded eyes was an impressive amount of 60s and 70s prog, psychedelia, blues rock, folk, jazz, and combinations and variations of the five. It wonderfully fills the void of two of my favorite blogs of all time - the much missed ChrisGoesRock and the hibernating Time Has Told Me. I ended up spending the next five hours downloading close to a hundred albums. I didn't get to bed until 02:00 AM.

I just had to lump a bunch of my favorite tracks together and share it with y'all. Turned out an awful lot of them were from 1968. It was a good year, whaddayagonnado. Technically the title of this complilation, Songs Metal Bastard Learned From The Red Hippie, is misleading as I was already familiar with the Richie Havens and Donovan tracks, but everything else on here was new to me.

The opening track by Bill Plummer is a personal favorite. Some kind of demented, pre-historic new age rap over sitars and tablas. It's even stranger than it sounds. So weird and so incredibly addictive.

The best part about all of this? The dude behind The Red Hippie is only seventeen. Apparently not all kids today are douchebags.

There is hope for the future.

(zip) V/A - Songs Metal Bastard Learned From The Red Hippie (77 mb)

1. Bill Plummer - Journey to the east (1968)
2. H.P. Lovecraft - Spin, spin spin (1968)
3. Ravi Shankar - An introduction to Indian music (1968)
4. Gnidrolog - A dog with no collar (1972)
5. Ten Years After - I'd love to change the world (1971)
6. High Tide - Walking down their outlook (1969)
7. The Hobbits - Break away (1967)
8. John Mayall - She's too young (1968)
9. Quintessence - Notting Hill gate (1969)
10. Ramases - Balloon (1971)
11. Richie Havens - Handsome Johnny (1968)
12. Tomorrow - Three jolly little dwarfs (1968)

X-mas Songs That Aren't X-mas Songs

2011-12-25T10:35:00.011+01:00

A bunch of songs that have absolutely nothing to do with Christmas, but always give me a warm, fuzzy, Christmas-y feeling. This usually just means that there's a xylophone in there somewhere, or perhaps a bit of strings. That's all I need.

For something more traditional, my immaculate X-mas mix of 2008 still works.

Merry Christmas.

Best of 2011

I've put together a wee collection of one track each from twelve albums I enjoyed this year. No list or ranking or anything of the sort, they're in no particular order.

I'd tell you exactly what they are, but as I live in constant fear of the web sheriff, you'll have to download this blindly.

It's incredible and worth your time, that's about all I can tell you.

bob hund galore

2011-11-27T09:56:00.004+01:00

(I've been getting reports that my busted computer (on which all of my shit is stored, I really should do backups every now and then) is on the mend. When, and if, I get it back I can remuse posting as usual. Until then, here's a blast from the past. A post originally posted on this here blog in October of 2009. Enjoy. I know I will)

Click here if you want to know more about bob hund, one of the best and more original bands to ever walk the earth. bob hund has a habit of covering songs in their native tongue Swedish and quite often injecting them with an energy the originals perhaps lacked.

Here we have them covering The Stooges (I Wanna Be Your Dog), Pere Ubu (The Final Solution), The Third Bardo (Five Years Ahead Of My Time) and The Velvet Underground (Guess I'm Falling In Love).

Enjoy!

(mp3) bob hund - Din hund (Stooges)
(mp3) bob hund - Ett fall & en lösning (Pere Ubu)
(mp3) bob hund - Min lön kommer fem år försent (Third Bardo)
(mp3) bob hund - Jag tror jag är kär (Velvet Underground)

Buy all things bob hund @ Amazon.com

And as a little bonus I'll throw in a gig bob hund did in London on May 23rd 2001. A quite bizarre gig where frontman Thomas Öberg (Iggy Pop and David Yow rolled into one) spent most of the evening speaking Swedish. Sure there were a lot of Swedes in the audience that night, but you have to wonder how the limeys felt about it.

If the noise inbetween songs is anything to go by it appears they liked it though. I'm sure you will too - an hour of excellent, eccentric rock 'n' roll. I cannot stress how highly I recommend this.

1. En som stretar emot
2. Dansa efter min pipa
3. Och där står du

V/A - "Oldies (3)" (2000)

2011-10-27T09:13:00.005+02:00

In 2000 I got myself a CD burner. Good thing I did because as my bad luck would have it, I would spend the next few years being absolutely dirt poor with no ability to actually buy CDs.

So whatever money I would have left over I would spend on CD-Rs to burn stuff I'd downloaded from Napster (with my 56kps dial-up modem - good times) or to copy CD I'd borrowed from someone.

This compilation of songs from a 50s & 60s boxset my mom had was the third CD I ever burned. Hence the titled "Oldies (3)". For some reason I found the order in which my CD were burned very important.

The Posies galore (re-post)

2011-08-14T10:55:00.004+02:00

If the soundtrack to my early 90's was Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Metallica, the soundtrack to my late 90's was Soundgarden, The Smashing Pumpkins, Hole and Seattle pop kings The Posies.

My first encounter was a live show recorded in early 1996 (on the European leg of their Amazing Disgrace tour) at the club Gino in Stockholm which aired on the Swedish radio station P3 a month or so later. Having read glowing reviews of Amazing Disgrace, The Posies got my attention and I made sure to tape the show (I still have the tape!) and I've lost count of how many times I've listened to it. From the opening chords of Dream All Day to the Nirvana/Jimi Hendrix/The Who style instrument destruction at the end of Burn & Shine, every damn second was mesmerizing.

In the summer of 1996 I was 14 years old and deemed not old enough to stay at home alone when the parents went on vacation to Dalarna in their old caravan, so I had no choice but to tag along. That summer, the tape of the Gino show became my one trusted ally against the entire world (or at least it felt that way, but it always feels that way when you're 14, doesn't it?). I bought Amazing Disgrace at a big department store chain called OBS!, but alas I could not listen to it straight away for my parents did not own a cd player, and I had to wait two long, painful weeks until I could pop it into my stereo system at home and crank up the volume.

But at least I could listen to some of the songs on my new favorite tape - Throwaway, Precious Moments, Please Return It, Everybody Is A Fucking Liar, World and Grant Hart were all played at that Gino show. Grant Hart (named after the drummer of Hüsker Dü) quickly became my favorite song and I remember being a bit disappointed when I came home and realised the album version didn't sound as rough and pissed off. One day, once I've figure out how to rip a cassette tape and make mp3s out of it, I'm gonna post that whole damn show, because it's beyond belief. Maybe it's just adolescent nostalgia speaking, but it really is one of the best thing I have ever heard. Ever.

After listening to Amazing Disgrace constantly for months, I ordered the two previous albums, Dear 23 (1990) and Frosting On The Beater (1993), from the mail order service MBM (Music By Mail), which in those days provided me with all the great music I couldn't otherwise get a hold of in this shitty little pre-Internet town of mine. A few years later their fifth album Success was released, and it was announced this was The Posies' last album. They stopped by Stockholm again in the summer of 1998 to play a gig at the Stockholm Water Festival. I planned to attend, but nothing ever came of it.

The two singers, guitarists, frontmen and song writers Ken Stringfellow and Jon Auer soon thereafter went their separete ways, both persuing solo projects. After a while though, the former best friends gravitated back towards each other and started doing acoustic gigs as a duo (documented on the In Case You Didn't Feel Like Plugging In live album).

Soon they had formed a new band with a new rhythm section and released new material. To be honest, by then I had lost interest. I haven't heard their post reunion stuff (but then again I haven't even heard their debut album Failure either), but I'm sure they are brilliant. It's just that to me, The Posies made four spectular albums before dying in 1999. I guess I outgrew them or something.

FOOTNOTE: Since this article was first posted in 2007 I have heard not only their debut Failure but also their post-Success works and enjoy them very much.

"Same Old High" song dedicated to Amy Winehouse/ Janis Joplin‏ 18:59 Svara ▼ Bifogad fil MaryEllen Klein

2011-08-03T19:03:00.005+02:00

I was sent this email precisely four minutes ago. I had nothing better to post today, so here it is. Don't even know if the song I was sent is good or not, haven't listened to it.

I like to live dangerously.

David... LOVE your blog, and you've got to check out this Amy Winehouse dedication song: (mp3 attached!)

MELON AND THE FLAVORS: New Atlanta-based band has been well-received in notable live venues across the Southeast U.S., and are quickly making their way into the blogosphere!

Most noted for poetic lyrics, original songwriting spanning from blues to jazz to hip hop to pop, and vocal range from Janis Joplin to Joni Mitchell! Quite incredible.... you should really take advantage of the chance to be first on this artist.

1. "27 (Same Old High)" - song dedicated to Amy Winehouse and Janis Joplin
by Mary Ellen Klein, frontwoman of Melon and the Flavors

I will send more tracks shortly, but I believe this particular one is time-sensitive, with all the hype about Amy Winehouse!

Cheers,
Management.

Merz' Britpop Extravaganza Vol. 3

2011-07-18T14:44:00.003+02:00

As you may or may not recall, almost exactly a year ago I posted two compilation of 90s British music as a tribute to both Britpop and the excellent, legendary, immense, spectacular blog Mars Needs Guitars and its maker Merz.

In 2009 he shared dozen and dozens of songs from the wonderful Britpop era in a long, extensive, and impressive series of posts. As an hommage to a great man and a great scene I compiled two sets of these songs here. Volume two has been down for quite some time but is now up again, so do check that out.

Well, here's volume 3 - another 15 tracks Merz so carefully picked out for us.

For more Britpop you can always download some Blur here and some Oasis here. Or if you prefer newer stuff, you can find some Arctic Monkeys here.

Pearl Jam - "Trinaural"

2011-06-20T21:08:00.001+02:00

I absolutely love Pearl Jam and every album they've put out.

However, one or two of them have been a bit... uneven. Binaural (2000) and Riot Act (2002) come to mind.

But it's not a question of the band hitting a creative slump every now and then. No no. Looking into the studio outtakes it seems as though the band simply picked the wrong tracks for the album, leaving some of the best songs off.

So in 2003 I removed the less-than-great songs on Binaural (the three shallow punky opening tracks for example... What the fuck was up with that?) and replaced them with the outtakes on the rarities compilation Lost Dogs (2003) and burned a cd with my own version of Binaural. Very simple. I also moved the last couple of tracks around to make the huge epic, anthemic Sleight Of Hand the final track.

So instead of a so-so album with potential, you get is an album that's just as good as anything they've ever released. I dare say that Trinaural (see what I did there?) is the best Pearl Jam album since Vitalogy (1994). But then again, I worship No Code (1996) and the underrated Yield (1998) as well...

Aw fuck, I can't make up my mind. All Pearl Jam albums are essential listening in their own way.

Either way, I don't think I've listened to the "real" Binaural album since I made this version. No reason. Trinaural is just that good.

Fucking hell, I'm a genius. I should get an award.

Soledad Brothers galore

2011-06-17T14:10:00.023+02:00

I was never a huge fan of Soledad Brothers, as I always found them wildly uneven. Moments of brilliance interspersed with moments of "meh" and "I think I'll listen to The Black Keys instead".

But when they were good, they were fucking excellent. So I compiled the fucking excellent tracks into one irresistible little collection for all to enjoy. All the little golden nuggets in one place, all the yummy little raisins plucked from the otherwise rather bland fruitcake and placed in a neat little pile, ready for consumption. I'm not very good at analogies, can you tell?

42 minutes of feverish, voodoo-infused blues rock straight from the steaming gator-infested swamps of... uhm, Ohio. They have steaming gator-infested swamps in Ohio, right?

The sounds of my childhood

2011-05-26T16:56:00.004+02:00

Last night I went weird and stayed up til 2:30 downloading old video game music. It was glorious.

Here's the deal: I was born in 1981, and quickly became a member of the Nintendo generation. I got the NES for Christmas in about 1987, which back then came with the classic game to end all classic games - Super Mario Bros. I also got the Zapper gun and three Zapper games - Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley and Wild Gunman. Thank you, dad.

Over the next ten years I was an avid player, though my supply of games was limited. Except for rare occasions, my parents would only buy me new games and Christmas or for my birthday. Which meant spending most of the year planning and trying to decide which games to put on my wishlist. Sometimes you'd get what you wished for, sometimes they'd buy you Section Z or Captain Comic instead. Fuck you, dad.

In 1992 or 1993 I got the SNES for my birthday, though my dad insisted I'd pay for half of it myself. Thank you and fuck you, dad. The SNES is still my favorite console of all time. Then again, I haven't played many consoles since as I sort of dropped out of the video game thingamajiggy in the late 90s. Other interests (booze and boobs) took over I guess, though one day when I'm a millionaire I'm gonna buy every console made since 1998 and do nothing but play every game I can get my hands until the day I die. That's a promise.

Though I can't imagine any of them consoles being better than SNES in terms of games quality and pure joy. But that's obviously just my nostalgia speaking, so pay no attention the previous sentence.

I did get a Game Boy Advance for my birthday about five years later, in 2002 or so, and I love it dearly. And I bought a used Nintendo 64 not long ago, which I enjoy from time to time. Other than that I've managed to stay clear of any video games made since the turn of the millenium. It's not that I'm stuck in the past just playing the old games over and over, I don't. I still have my trusted old NES and SNES but they haven't been plugged in for years. Not sure what happened. I guess I prefer thinking back at the good times we had as opposed being stuck in the good old times, if that makes any sense.

I will always associate video games with that golden era of 1987 to 1997 when playing my beloved NES and SNES took up most of my time, and the rest of the time was spent pining for those precious games I might get for Christmas. Good times, people. Good times.

So, last night I sat down and downloaded the music for those old games I used to play. My favorites have been compiled for my own pleasure, though you might enjoy it as well.

Since most of this music was never given official names, you'll have to settle with sexy titles like Stage 1, Stage 2 and Title Screen Theme. Ooooooh so hawt.

Random memories and recollections of said games:

Super Mario Bros - Immortal classic. Played it everyday for years.

Castlevania - I don't think I ever made it past the third or fourth stage. The controls completely blew ass, and the dude both looked and walked like a leper with a limp. I managed to kill the motherfucker every time he had to jump somewhere.

Kid Icarus - A game which I never actually owned until about 1996 when the NES was dying and some store was selling it for no money at all. Though back in the day I used to borrow it from friends who owned it and play it from time to time. Unfortunately they always wanted it back before I'd managed to get very far in the game. Just as well probably, as I'd always get turned into a fucking eggplant anyway. Somehow I could never avoid being turned into a fucking eggplant. But the consolation was the main character's name - Pit. Which sounded identical to "pitt", the Swedish word for "dick". That never stopped being funny.

Wizards and Warriors - Another game I bought after the fact when I'd half-abandoned the NES and was mostly playing the SNES. I bought it dirt cheap while on caravan holiday with my parents (good times) and had to wait about a week and a half before I could get home and try it. It wasn't really worth the wait, but the music was good.

Mega Man - Was I a retard or this game was fucking hard? Rhetorical question, don't answer it. I loved it and played it endlessly but I could never quite get the hang of it. The Fireman and Elecman stages always fucked me up. And the Iceman stage with those blocks appearing and disappearing? I could never figure that shit out. I probably would've done at lot better at this game if it hadn't taken me ages to realise you could actually use each boss' special power once you'd beaten them. Okay, I was a retard.

Blaster Master - Another game which I loved though I never quite got anywhere. I'd just go over the first two stages again and again.

Blades of Steel - Clearly the best ice hockey game ever made. The music ruled, the fights were awesome, and that polar bear at half time was kickass. I always picked the Minnesota team, the white and purple ones. Together we won every tournament. Yay us.

Super Mario Bros. 2 - By far my favorite video game of all time, I know every pixel of it like the back of my hand. I don't care if it's just a redesigned version of another game completely unrelated to the Mario universe, don't give a shit about the lack of koopas and goombas, this game fucking rules. It. Fucking. Pwns. It's perfection. The Lost Levels, you say? Ha! Don't make me laugh.

Tetris - I nearly wore out my Game Boy playing Tetris all day. Though I'm not as fanatical about it as many others; I must admit I always preferred Dr. Mario.

Batman - I was nuts about everything Batman when Tim Burton's movie came out the late 80s. The tie-in game didn't really live up to my expectations (the controls are somehow even worse than those in Castlevania) but looking back it had some utterly excellent music.

Snake Rattle 'n' Roll - Yet another one I bought years after its release when I'd moved on from the NES, but I still got quite a few hours of enjoyment out of this one even though I could never quite get my head around the diagonal controls (those who have played it know what I mean).

Duck Tales - Another all-time favorite, probably because it was so easy. And also because I'd been watching the cartoon for years. I got nothing but fond memories of this one.

Little Nemo: The Dream Master - Another one that looked like a cute cartoon, so I liked it before I'd even played it. I seem to recall it being quite annoying to play as the whole thing would flicker every time there were more than five sprites on the screen at the same time, but I loved the riding the gorilla. The bee was cool too.

Dr. Mario - The world's #1 puzzle game in my book. I've played this so much I could beat you at it in my sleep. The only games I've owned on three consoles; the NES, SNES and Game Boy. It's that awesome.

Super Mario Bros. 3 - I remember the expectations for this were ridiculous. My dad and I went to some shady store to book a copy long in advance, though I got a cool SMB3 hat with the downpayment. Pretty sweet. Great game, clearly one of the best of all time, but I still prefer SMB2.

The Simpsons: Bart vs. The Space Mutants - Fucking hell on earth. Impossible controls, antique graphics, and annoying music. Yet I loved it and couldn't stop playing it. I have no idea why, I must be a masochist in addition my retardation. I don't think I ever got past that fucking theme park stage. Just getting past the mall stage was a pain in the ass.

Super Mario World - My first SNES game. I'd say this is my second favorite game of all time, right behind SMB2. Sublime. The best thing about it? Pressing down repeatedly really fast whenever Mario was sitting on Yoshi, as that made it look like Mario was furiously humping Yoshi doggy-style. Yes, good times.

F-Zero - I was the KING of F-Zero! Seriously, no one could beat me. Even to this day I don't think anyone could beat me. I'd challenge any of you motherfuckers. Not a fan of racing games, but for some reason this one hooked me. I always picked the heavy, pink car/spaceship/hovercraft/whatever the fuck it was. A slower starter but once I got going: VROOOM! Watch my fucking backlights as they disappear into the distance, bitch.

Street Fighter II - I used to rent this game all the time at a local retailer until I realised I'd save money if I just bought a copy. I was always Guile or Zangief, them niggas were br00tuhl. Never Blanka though (fuck you, Slusk). Sometimes I'd pick Chun Li and just make her jump around to see if I could look up under her skirt. I couldn't.

Bart's Nightmare - Another Simpsons game. One time my final score was a B- but usually I'd just an F and have Homer and Marge scowl at me. I sucked at this game too, but remember the parts where Bart walks down the street to be quite fun, as it felt quite random and interactive. You could get gum stuck on your face, run into principal Skinner, get run over by a mailbox, get kidnapped by the bullies etc etc. The Bartzilla stage was the shit.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles In Time - Another favorite. I played it all the time and got the whole thing down pat. After a while I could do a perfect speed run like nobody's business. I always picked Donatello (obviously). Bo staff ftw.

Alien3 - I'm beginning to realise how crap I was at most of these games... I'd either pwn a game completely or get stuck in the first level. Alien3 was in the latter category. Fun game though, and the music was spectacular! Some of the best I've ever heard.

Donkey Kong Country - So far ahead of its time graphics wise that it felt like playing something from the future. I'd play this all day long with the Hassan prank call CDs playing the background - for me the two will forever be entwined. I also seem to associate this fame with Axe Musk body spray. Not sure why.

Yoshi's Island - One of the games I have the fondest memories of - the music, the crayon-like graphics, the bosses which were absolutely gigantic for its time... the whole thing is brilliant.

Donkey Kong Country 3 - I somehow missed DKC2 and went straight to the third one. I remember the SNES was coming towards the end of its run with the advent of the Nintendo 64, which also became the beginning of the end of my game playing run. Kind of sad in a way. Pretty ballsy to cut Donkey Kong himself out the game completely.

Okay, that's it. Download and listen.

Too bad I'm not in Paris, would've made a killer third reason.
