Two brilliant free releases from blog-related netlabels
Today, I would like to point your attention to a couple of free releases from some other good music blogs. Both of these are highly enjoyable and recommended. Canciones Pegajosas 2 – Argentinian indie pop, – perfect for summer! The first one is a compilation-EP from our fellow Music Alliance Pact-blog Zonaindie from Argentina. It’s called “Canciones Pegajosas 2”, which should translate “sticky songs 2”. This is in fact one of my favourites this summer, – I love this one, … →
Lazy days…
(My cat is just like me these days) This post is just a “I’m sorry” from me to you. I haven’t been as active on the blog as I would like to, and even though I have tons of material to write about, I just don’t feel for doing it. I’m struck by some kind of summer laziness, and it has lasted a while. I love listening to music, and I love discovering music, but at the moment it’s so … →
The Pastels and Tenniscoats working together in new project
Just as I launched the new Eardrums collaboration project, the news about a collaboration between two of my personal favourites arrived. Just to make it clear, – these are not part of our collaboration compilation (but it would be fantastic if…). THE PASTELS from Glasgow and TENNISCOATS from Tokyo has recorded some songs together. The project, Two Sunsets, will be released on vinyl, cd and download on September 7. A double-A single with the songs Vivid Youth and About You … →
New EardrumsPop-label project: “The Handshake” – a collaboration compilation
I’ve just published the details about the new Eardrums Pop compilation we’re working on, with the temporary title “The Handshake”. This is a collaboration compilation where the artists need to collaborate on the songs, and the artwork will also be made this way. The details can be found on our eardrums pop label site, and I need a lot of help from both you, the readers, + artists, illustrators, poets, painters, writers, bloggers + all other friendly people who would … →

New Japanese magazine and cd about DIY pop culture, “Merci Magazine”
I just got an email from Masahiro Nomura from the fine Japanese Indie label "abcdefg*record" who told me about a new magazine/cd he and his label has made, “Merci Magazine”. The label has some really cool Japanese bands in their roster, such as Roly Poly Rag Bear and Naivepop or Petitfool, so I instantly got interested in this. The magazine is written in Japanese, so unless you know the language, you can only enjoy the design and the photos in … →
Some recommended small (but great) releases from indie labels #2
I continue from where I left you yesterday, with more of my recommendations to recent singles and EPs that I’ve enjoyed from indie labels. S K R I E T – Fåglarna (3 track single from Novoton) This is a new Swedish project from the people behind Pascal, but it sounds nothing like their noisy guitar driven mother-project (at least doesn’t this first single sound like Pascal). Skriet (which means “The Scream”) play more dreamy,floating, long stretched music, but with … →
