Of course not, but if a band change their sound and for some reason
increase the sales, there are always those among the so called "original
fans" who think that they sold out.

To an even softer sound than now? Are you kidding? Besides, I think most
"mothers and fathers" already like, at least some of, the Cardigans' songs.

Exactly my point!

Because it's simply an expression that some of the so called "original
fans" - you know, the ones who used to adore them years before they even
got signed - always seem to use when a band suddenly gets famous and
starts to sell millions of CDs. If you like a small band that suddenly
gets famous, be happy for them, don't abandon them! Of course, if they
have changed their sound and then become famous, I can understand that
some fans get upset, but only if the new sound is really bad. In that
case there is always the old material left to listen to!

Well, I'm not sure if I'm making myself clear (it's getting late!), but
what I mean is that some people seem to use the "sell-out"-expression when
a band release something they don't like, just because their (the fans')
taste hasn't grown the same way as the band's. And then there are those
who just shout "sell-out" when a band gets played on MTV, starts releasing
singles, sells a million copies of their latest CD, or whatever.

Just because Bob Hund releases singles (and promotional ones too I suppose)
and gets quite heavy air-play on P3 (Swedish national radio Channel 3 - quite
mainstream) these days, I don't think they have sold out. Of course, I don't
believe in the expression, but still I think no less of them. I do think most
of their older material is way better than most of the new songs, but I'm
happy for them; they finally get some wider recognition!

By the way, it's nice to see that the list is so thriving these days!

She used to write for Slitz, you know that mag that used to be about
music, movies and entertainment in general which nowadays almost is a
porno mag. They used to be really bad, and I do mean REALLY BAD, but
somehow they managed to get even worse. Anyway, I'm not sure what she's
up to these days, but hopefully she has found another profession.

One funny thing. Suddenly all libraries, at least around here where I

Well I'm not suprised I missed here then... last time I bought it I got
the same feeling I got when I was 13 and bought my first nudie mag. Next
time they write something useful (like the Iggy interview that was the
reason I bought it at all) I will steal it instead since it's so bad...
The level is lower than the level of an average heavy metal guy of 14 who
listens to Venom all day long :o)

Don't wonder just be happy :o) I wonder why the libraries here haven't quit

Subject: Finnish CD Chain

Not a full length review by any means.  And that for more than one reason,
the main one being that, sadly, the CD seems to have been damaged in the
post.  There's a spot about 8 cm in diameter on the middle of the cd which
makes tracks 2 through 7 completely unplayable on my machine.  Obvious
question here is does everyone who signed up for the chain still want to be
on it?  I don't think that Kimmo will have the chance in the near future to
compile anything again, so come on everybody, let me know what you think
about this.  Here are the tracks that you will be able to hear (with some
comments).

1.  All Stars:  Eve
This band has some great ideas musically and also lyrically.  (Just got
another tape with 3 more songs by them, so this is an overall impression).
Very poppy, the one drawback that I see is in the singer's English.  Don't
get me wrong, I love accents, but her phrasing/rhythm and sometimes her
grammar/vocabulary could stand a little help.

8.  The Pansies:  Neighborhood Girl
This is ace girlpop and I'm not going to waste time in tracking down their
releases.  (Actually, I know that it can be had from Mind the Gap in
Germany, but I'm going to try to twist Kimmo's free arm on this one).

9.  Wilma:  Pahanilmanlintu
Forgetting what this sounds like, but I know that it was nice to hear
Finnish for a change.

10.  22-pistepirrko:  roundabout
11.  Dada girl:  sandpit
12.  Mess:  sun day

All of these sounded pretty good, and on the pop side.

13.  Lemonator
Just gawd-awful typical sounding alternative rock.  I'll expect to hear
this one in elevators.

14.  Spam:  Ugly
Very nice music for a band with such an awful name.  The lyrics are total
fluff, like their track on the previous Finnish chain (tape) (their track
was the one about "which tee-shirt shall I wear today").  "I don't like you
because you're ugly, ugly, ugly".  Actually, I think that they could have
made the vocals even sillier.

15.  Aknestik:  Vien sun sydamen pohjoiseen
Again quite nice to hear Finnish, and this guy's voice is pretty smooth.
But this strikes a slightly uncomfortable "commercial" chord with me.

16.  Cessna:  Wide Awake
Well, I don't think that it's fair for me to use this space to advertise
Cessna, so I won't say anything about this still quite wonderful track
which didn't quite make the cut for the Bordeaux album.

And that's all that's playable.  And, darn it, I was really looking forward
to Larry and the Left Handed (track 5).

And of course if anyone new wants to sign up for the chain, e-mail me at:

I think Eva Kvanta is alright, but what about the crew at 'fredags

Is Jonna Berg for real?

Or is she just on drugs? I would lie if I said I love Linda's 'journalism'
but she got to get credit for the fact that she's the one who first talked
about bands that I hadn't heard about before, such as bob hund, and that
would have taken some more yrs for me to know about, living in this little
hellhole in the middle of nowhere... but one who's worse than Linda Norrman
is the Linda Norrman wannabe in Aftonbladet. Jenny Musikka. //j.nilsson

Well, even though it seems rather hopeless, you could try playing the disc
in a couple of other cd players just to see what happens before we cancel
the tree. I guess I'll have to compile another tape instead...

Nice to hear you liked at least some of the tracks there though.

Well well, opening my mailbox today makes me realize some people want
my head on a pole. I guess I shouldn't write again, since it'll more
likely be like trying to put out fire with gasolin...

It's just that when totte.pop posted the result of the poll, I could see
it coming... someone was gonna go "why isn't X on the list" or "what's Y
doing in the list when Z's not there", or other equally pointless remarks.
And lo and behold... enter Iggy! I'm not apologizing for what I wrote, but
I'm sorry for Iggy's sake... that he had to take all the stick. Nothing 
personal, I just wanted to discourage other people to follow suit in a 
terribly tedious thread.

And thanks for all your advice Jensa, I'm calm as a filbunke and always was.
Did I accidentally step on your toes too by any chance, or is it just part
of your sweet and generous nature to automatically speak up for those you
believe have been trampled upon? (a very amiable characteristic indeed)

Whoops!  That was supposed to be 8 mm, not cm.  See how much trouble we put
ourselves through here so that the eurokids don't have to read messages
about inches...

Haven't had a chance to respond let alone read all the messages which went
directly to me, but it seems that there is interest in letting the CD make
its rounds, albeit 6 tracks can't be played.

More when I get back from work...

Your note on my pigfaced smiley :o) was kind of as personal you could get
to someone on this level. I was never looking for an apology. And as you've
seen, some people like to know other people's point of view, those who didn't

I know some bands who actually admit that they have changed their sound
just to sell more records, so I guess you can say that they have "sold
out". But I do think it is bullshit to say that a band has become bad just
because they sell more records than they did before. I would really lie if
I told anyone that I hate all music on the hit-lists. Just look at the
American album list from last week (I do not know what it looks like this
week) - Cardigans, Wannadies and Stina Nordenstam on second place!!

This discussion just reminds me of something the singer of Soundgarden
(cannot remember his name) once said: "To me, commercial music means that
someone listens to his own music and asks the question: will this sell? If
the answer is no! and he changes his music until the answer is yes! then he
is making commercial music. We don't make commercial music. We do
alternative music that sells a lot of records". I have no comments on
whether I agree with his opinion about his own band, just thought it was a
damned good thing to say!

The thing is quite easy when a band say they changed their sound to sell
more records. But when they deny it? Are they right or wrong? No really
good answer there.

Just thought that I should inform you that Herrgarn is a place for
Linkoping students. "Outsiders" are allowed but you have to get phoned in,
in advance, and also brought in by another Linkoping student. If you are a
student at any other swedish university  you are welcome without
"lifeguard" but you are not allowed to bring any guest with you.

/Micke, still not sure if he will visit this concert, but I am sure there
are other Linkoping students you can ask for help, if you are interested,
that is.

Well, a band might change its style so that more people like the
music. Or so that their friends like the music more. I suppose you
could argue that whatsisname from Soundgarden reads his own interviews
and asks the question: am I credible?  If the answer is no! and he
changes his interview technique till the answer is yes! then he's
doing some clever marketing...

Yeah, right.

Both "In Lemon Grove" and "At Point Loma" are since long deleted, 1000
copies made of each. And from what I've heard they are deleted in Japan
as well. "My Trumpets" is however available (together with "Anasthesia",
the b-side on the "Water" single, and "Against the sun") on the Snap-
collection "Now I'm home". "My Trumpets" and "Doesn't matter" are also
bonustracks on the japanese edition of "In San Diego".

The singles available are:
"Water"
"Summer and looking for a job/Brass"
"Never been a better day"
"Birds in cages" (soon)

By the way, it's the Cardigans who are a bit Eggstonesque not the
other way around.
