The Bronx, History’s Stranglers
Cactus, Evil
Late night recommendations
Got two tips for ya tonight before I head off to bed: The Bronx and Cactus. Not particularly similar bands (35 odd years between them for starters) but both worth listening to. Vids coming in a few secs.
Also, I upgraded to Spotify Premium so I can listen on my iPhone – I recommend it. It’s awesome. If I say “awesome” a lot it’s because I’ve been watching a lot of How I met your mother lately. Love that show.
Hellsingland Underground
A friend pointed me towards Hellsingland Underground earlier today… “Swedish laid back rock/country band with Allman brothers sound” were his words and they were true. Especially the opening track reminded me of Jessica. Nice stuff and the timing is right – I’m still a sucker for southern-rock-meets-outlaw-country.
Neil Young, Fork in the Road
Missed the release of Neil’s latest album (released in march or april this year?) but am listening to it now on Spotify. I’m three four songs in and so far my experience can be summed up as “meh”. Cough up the bucks is a bit like Simon and Garfunkel meets Rage Against the Machine.
Lasse @ Cloetta Center, Linkoping
Trying to recover or at least cushion the withdrawal from last night’s concert with Lars Winnerbäck. Great concert and I had a great time. Never saw him before despite being a fan though to be honest I’m not much of a concert man. Not much of a lyrics lover either but Lasse’s texts are among the few that manages to make it all the way to my brain. :) Thanks for a great night Lasse!
