Boyfriend in a coma

Old time friend of Morrissey, James Maker,
is the singer of this band. He appears in
the documentary "The Importance of being
Morrissey", I believe.
Moz have covered this song live recently,
at the Roskilde festival i Denmark, for instance,
where I saw him. (It was great!)
The song originally comes from Raymonde's only album,
"Babelogue", from 1987.

See ya all in eleven days! Summer weather on my vacation. I have finally earned it.

Some time during the second part of last year
I came to chat (on soulseek) with a boy with a truly
amazing collection of music on his harddrive. But my
prejudices were playing dirty tricks with my mind.
Since his hard disc collection was so elaborate,
I thought, aah, great geezer my on age (gray-hairing,
30 years).
On the harddrive there were everything from
twee bands from 20 years ago, over really mature
adult american rock to really, really obscure swedish
80's punk bands and some of the latest releases from
small indie labels. I naturally told him I thought
he had a great collection.
It turned out to be a 18 year old girl in the small
swedish town of Alingsås. ("Pagis" on slsk)
After I'd been forgiven, she told me of a - now favorite
of mine - swedish twee band. The Second hand furniture.
They went to the same school and where friends.
I cannot thank her enough.

So, here comes one of their best songs:
Second-hand furniture - Alone out in the sea

Second-hand furniture's official homepage. In swedish only.
"Lyssna" means listen if you want to hear more of them!

Now I'll be gone (just when i got started alright!)
for some two weeks, going out on my old woodenboat.
See ya!

Favorit Japanese twee-band: Photo Jenny - Beautiful Girl

As usual, if anybody would like me to remove the track, please contact me at jojunonkok@hotmail.com . It is of course not my intetion to violate copyright-laws, I just want my favorite bands to be more well-known. And, hey, go buy all the albums and singels by Photo jenny (if you can get hold of them!)

Pretty rare The Smith song, with an even more rare original,
let me introduce to you:
Cilla Black - Work is a four letter word
I guess most of you that would be interested have
already heard it. Well, anyway.

Halvårstips:

1) FILM
Jag tycker att filmen "Torremolinos 73"
är mycket väl värd att se - trots att den fått
blandad kritik. Kul, lite gripande och snygg.
Rekommenderas. Några få lite dåliga skämt,
men betydligt fler så sjukt på pricken fantastiska
...och långt ifrån en enkel, renodlad komedi.

2) MP3
Den här låten (och hela skivan!) borde funnits
med på min svensktoppslista förra året:
The Legends - Nothing to be done
Skivan heter "Up against the legends"
och det är Tweeee som gäller.
(Här finns en mer nyanserad recension)

Vill Johan Angerård, de andra i bandet, någon annan eller
Labradorfolket att jag ska ta bort låten kan ni ju skriva till
jojunonkok@hotmail.com så ska eder önskan snarast bifallas.

3) WINE:
Förslag till årets bubblare:

39 kronor på systemet! Sött,
somrigt, fylligt (det betyder
att man blir full på det va?)
och ger garanterad uppåtfylla.
Dessutom perfa för låtsas-
champagnedrinkar.

Sorted my records today for the first time
in over a year. A truly Nick Hornbyish experience.
I found two remarkably great records that I
have had in possession for some time,
but never quite understood before:

1) Art rock/Singer-songwriter Phoebe Snow
seems to have passed most people by. Sad, since her 1974
self titled record have amazing qualities.
Listen to "Poetry Man" or "I don't want the night to end"
for example. Fans of - for example - Joni Mitchell 
will not be disapointed.

2) The Doobie Brothers might not
have been the coolest band i the 70's,
but their 1973 record "The Captain and me"
can be recommended to everyone interested in
truly american rock music.
