From: "BIRTHE MOLLEGAARD"
Subject: Sv: Danish tape-chain update/Mew
Okay, I admit having lurked for a while now, but since I seem to be the
only Dane on the list (bursting into the national hymn ;)) I guess this is
the right time for me to get out of the closet...
Mew, who performed at this year's Roskilde Festival, are brilliant indeed.
I would describe their sound as...well, Slowdive meets the Smiths, but
that's not really an adequate description. I'd say they are distinguished
by their use staccato guitars and Jonas Bjerre's boy choir voice ( and
ditto looks). The atmosphere of the music is dreamy and romantic...
Their gig at Roskilde was ace. They used to appear very shoegazing,
literally meant, but they have altered into a more obliging attitude...
The songs from their debut album 'A Triumph For Man' sounded as good as
ever with the string and brass treatment they got onstage, especially
Panda, She Came Home For Christmas and I Should Have Been A Tsin-Tsi For
You. The latter is the closest they've ever been to a nationwide hit.
And the new songs from the forthcoming album were even better! The closing
Comforting Sounds was everything that a real ballad should be...and a
female tap dancer appeared onstage for a tap solo in the middle of the
song!!! Only having heard it once, I still remember this song, it was
really catchy!
I can highly recommend Mew to anyone who likes sweet, melodic and dreamy,
but yet melancholic pop tunes...
Other great Danish bands at Roskilde were Speaker Bite Me, luksus and
Psyched Up Janis...more information is coming up, if anyone is
interested...
Cheers,
Anna (who saw Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine live onstage with Primal
Scream and never is going to remove the mascara she wore that day...;))

Hey!
I wonder, why I hear from that danish tape chain for the first time the
last days ... has that happened while I seem to've been unsubscribed for
a while ?! Well, never mind, if it just would be possible to put me at
the end of the chain, too ! So, who's responsible, or who's got the list

I guess I'm a bit early, but though;
those of you who happen to be in the mid-norway in august 9th and 10th,
should pay a visit to Bolga (Frei) outside Kristiansund - and the
Bolgstockfestival.
It's a little and local festival - but for sure Scandinavian!!!! And
Indie!!!!!!!
The lineup so far:
Israelvis, Jokke & Tourettes, Cornflakes, Tad Pole, Blew, Phy and
further more......
Check out: http://home.sol.no/~sp1002/bolgstock/ for information.
It seems to be mostly swedes in this list for the time being, and I can
registrate that neither we Norwegians nor the Danish get ONE SINGLE
ANSWER when it comes to the football world cup in France.....guess
why????
Well, I'm really happy about the Danish heroic win last night over
Nigeria - and I for sure hope they kicks the Brazilian out of the cup!!
Besides; that would've been really cool......the World Cup Master of all
times, Brazil, have to leave France without anything.....two losses in a
few days, both from Scandinavian teams!!! That is Scandinavian Indie for
sure!!!!

Is this the Swedish band that used to be called TADPOLE? I thought they had
called it quits, since Malin Lindh is now in DURANGO 95. Did they just
change members or is it a totally different band?

Football might have been an interesting sport in 1994 but today - naah! Ice

I didn't reply because I didn't want to get in trouble for non-indie

Heh... congratulations on the gold medal then. ;)
At least the Danish WC manager is Swedish... and you did beat them in the
run up.
Oh wait, I just thought of some crossover indie content I can put in this
mail. I just read at the new Vibrafon site that they are releasing a
tribute album for Malmo FF. You can listen to Eggstone's contribution at
the site.

No, it's not the Swedish band you mention. TadPole is from Trondheim,
Norway - a surfpunkcore-band of young and enthusiastic men.... Really

I'm also interested and would like to be added to the list if possible. Also
I would like to know something about these tape chains. These tapes contains
indiebands from the country where the tape came from (ie. danish bands in
this tape) and is there any restrictions about the appearing bands. I mean
are they all unsigned, unreleased bands or are they established bands?
And is there some musical direction which the bands must perform. As we all
know indie is quite a large scene. And have anyone made a finnish tape?

I think Stupido Shop do mailorder, but i have no personal experience on the
matter. their website is at www.stupido.cute.fi
If they don't do mailorder outside finland, tell them they're idiots and
send a mailbomb (just make sure it doesn't blow when Karkkiautomaatti's bass
player Sami is on shift!)... i have an english friend, and through her
noticed that not all mailorder companies are not willing to do mailorder
internationally. i have no idea why. maybe it's all the bad music they
listen to.

Subject: stubnitz etc.
Just got back from Roskilde by way of sweden, and must now correct my view
of sweden. while raiding record stores i briefed myself with the case of
Stubnitz, and must say your authorities are just as fucking degenerated
idiots as ours. it's a complete farce! i hope the "rave-comission" gets a
really bad collective constipation and explodes in a messy kaboom...
On happier note, i'm quite jelous about all the record stores in stockholm.
Freak Scene was a ball what with the bad service and thorough garage
collection. also a few great used stores at or near St. Ericksgatan... there
was this store absolutely jammed with records that were totally impossible
to wade through because of the way they were piled, but i still found a few
cheap Amon Duul II LPs criminally cheap, and ran out of bad luck and found
Devo's New Traditionalists LP with one of my anthems "beautiful world"
timo.
ps. Bootleg Beatles was by far the best band of Roskilde.

No other shows are planned, the festival is taking place at Lida,
just outside Stockholm (the same site as Lollipop used to be)
It'll be a great festival, I mean, Will Oldham is playing! Could
a festival with him playing be bad? But, there are other good acts
as well, check www.luger.se for some info and there you can find
a link to the official site.

PS. Will Oldham will perform under the name: Bonnie Prince Billy,
and that's no joke (I think he released a 7" recently under that name)

Except for laughing at the funny looking "Paul McCartney",
I thought it was pretty much a bore. But however, nothing
really blew my mind this year. However, Sonic Youth doing
Death Valley '69 was quite nice.
And yeah, ravekommissionen is just out to destroy every

Toni asked:
> And have anyone made a finnish tape?
Yes, there have been a couple of Finnish tapes out there. I compiled one in
early 1996 or so (I think?)...maybe it was the first chain tape on this
list... And there was another tape compiled by Mr. Riitamaa, if memory
serves. As some of you may remember, I did compile a CD with Finnish indie
bands, but due to poor packaging on my behalf, the disc was damaged on its
way to the US, and never made very far before turning into a piece of
waste. The compilations I did featured both established (like
22-Pistepirkko) and unsigned (All Stars, Dada Girl) bands.
Maybe I should add that I never got the first tape back, and the same
happened to the chain tape with music released by the great Spanish pop
labels Siesta and Elefant, which shouldn't be interpreted as discouraging
anybody who wants to spend a few hours on compiling a chain tape of their
own :)

As reported on the 'serious' arts programme on Radio Sweden's P1 this
morning, the finlandswedish radio station Radio Extrem have produced a
CD with Swedish summer, umm, classics rendered by Finnish artists.
Among them the quite loopy M. A. Numminen (famous for his recording of
Wittgenstein's Tractatus) and scan-indie favourites Penniless doing
'Sommarbarn'. You know, the ones who used to be the Penniless People
of Bulgaria. Self-confessed Swedophiles, if I remember right.
