Tweet Today, on Saturday 28. March, from 21:15 (CEST/Norwegian time), I’ll be online, live-blogging. The theme is the new Eardrums compilation, and I’ll be playing some of the songs for you, showing the cover-art and answering your questions. I will probably also ask for some advice, and you can comment as we’re moving on. The live-blogging will happen in the window below. Eardrums Spring Compilation Launch
Tweet The press release say: “The Mary Onettes release their first single in two years’ time on April 29. Written in isolation and partly recorded in a church "Dare" still ends up their most uplifting song to date – imagine a Swedish equivalent of The National on a diet of speed, Planet Earth DVDs and Go-Betweens singles and you’ll have a vague idea of how wonderful this is!” I have no chance to listen to it right now, so I … →
Tweet Just a few more steps to go, and I’m ready to release the compilation! Well, here’s another update on the progress of the new Eardrums compilation. I have received everything, all the music and all the cover-art is on my computer. GREAT STUFF!! Two wonderful additions arrived in the last minute, from SATURDAY LOOKS GOOD TO ME and LUKE DONOVAN (singer in The Glad-Rags). I planned to finish this much earlier, but life, health and other things have set … →

Every friday, they will release a new single, and it will be free to download from their site.

Tweet The next weeks will not be very active on “the outside” of Eardrums. There will not be many posts, not much going on at all. There WILL be A LOT happening behind the scenes, and that’s the reason for the inactivity on the blog. A new Eardrums compilation is coming soon, – in the end of March, – probably around the 25th. It will be a spring release called “Birdsongs, Beesongs”, and it will feature new songs from a … →
Tweet It’s the 15th again, and we are back with new music from the MUSIC ALLIANCE PACT (MAP). 24 songs presented by 24 blogs from 24 countries, and it happens on all these blogs every month on the 15th.

Here are the MAP artists … →

The album is called "My Maudlin Career", and the songs "French Navy" and "My Maudlin Career" is already to be found here. It sounds excellent and … →
