From: "Micke Rehnstrom"
Subject: BQ interview
Right now, there is an interview with Mattias Alkberg from THE BEAR QUARTET
on DNet. If you go to
http://www.dn.se/
you will find a link to it at the bottom of the page. I guess it will be
removed from there no later than tomorrow. The interview, which
concentrates more on Alkberg's views on writing (both poetry and pop
lyrics) than on the latest album, is in Swedish. Unfortunately I don't have
enough time to translate it into English, but perhaps someone else might be
able to help those who don't understand Swedish.

Hi-
Is there any site which can translate Swedish to English?
Can anyone tell me what this says? Thanks.

THE GRINNERS
"Psychoville"
Caravan Records/HoK
Det spelas bast rock'n'roll om man bor norr om den 20:e breddgraden, sa ar
det bara. Det ar svart att vara frustrerad och arg om man bor i Skane, dar
ar det varmt och gott om tjejer. Grinners lirar rock som om det gallde livet
och har ett hogre tempo an norrlandspilen. Pa fullangdsdebuten visar man upp
ett sound som ar skitigare an Ruhr-omradet och det ar jag glad for. Grinners
liknar mer oldschool garagerock an nagot annat band jag hort. Konstaterar
lugnt att snubbar som Dregen borde borja knyppla istallet.

"Rock'n'roll is played best if you live north of the 20th parallel,
that's just the way it is. It's hard to be frustrated and angry if
you live in Sk}ne [south Sweden, round Malm|], where it's warm and
there are plenty of girls. The Grinners play rock like their life
depended on it and have a higher tempo than the fast train to Norrland
[the very north of Sweden]. On their debut full-lengther they present
a sound dirtier than the Ruhr valley, and I'm quite happy about that.
The Grinners are more like old-school garage rock than any other band
I've heard. Seems obvious to me that blokes like Dregen [Backyard
Babies, Hellacopters] might as well start doing embroidery instead."

Subject: Help with Twee Bands
Hello all!
I would like to know of all the TWEE bands that you know of. I have some
requirements though. They should not be american and the main singer has to be
a girl (a few songs by a guy will not annoy me). Just like Club 8!
I have not heard Super, are they like Club 8 or the Cardigans? Ok they do not
have to be twee but they should sound happy poppy technoish and the female
vocals (Komeda, LeMans, The Cat's Miaow, St Etienne) and no american bands and
if they sing in their own language even better.
thanks thanks

Marginal as in 'no one but Kimmo S{{skilahti will listen to this' or
as in 'no one but M}rten Sahlen's crack-addicted death metal freak

Say what?? Last I heard I didn't have any cousins in Finland, and
certainly none that are crack junkies or death metallers... In my
family we're all nice and clean milk-sipping industrialists.
To quote Roky Ericsson: "Don't slander me" ;-)

I'm not really sure what Kimmo listens to, but i doubt any Cardigans fans
will have any fun out of it... what we were thinking of was something along
an approach to music such as free, drone, noise, GBV-esque pop, NZ, old
classics like Beefheart, Memphis Goons, Sun Ra, the whole kraut-scene,
Waits, Bad Vugum, Trash Can, Sahko, Metamorphos, flaming people who think
Goo is Sonic Youth's best album... the entire staff of the Hindupyorailija
'zine is one the list, so that might give you an idea.
And ofcourse i'm the guy who's got the AC/DC and FUNK perversions... funky
shit mama!
In conclusion, i don't think Sahlen's crack-addicted death metal freak
cousin would feel himself at home, altough i have heard qlues that a certain
member of the melancholic noisepop band Sissy Spacek has played in Turbodet.
don't tell him i told you.
timo.
ps. somebody damnit send me a pre-release promo of the new PJ Harvey.
pps. where do i go to find muzik by the Kronos Quartet?
ppps. buy the new Hindupyorailija.
pppps. since we're discussing scandinavian music here, it wouldn't be too
bad to be able to use umlauts.

Subject: Merzbow hits Scandinavia again
Hey now,
Beware, the king of noise, Masami Akita a.k.a. Merzbow, is on his way
to Scandinavia once again. The great response after last year's thunderous
show in Stockholm apparently made him want to come back for more.
On September 12th he's playing at the Fylkingen club in Stockholm. Supporting
are local noise/improv veterans Mats Lindstrom and Soren Runolf. See
http://www.fylkingen.se for more info. Merzbow will also be doing a minor
tour through Norway before this, with shows in Trondheim, Oslo, and Bergen,
but I have no further info on this. B.Y.O.E. (Bring your own earplugs).

From: Radio Khartoum
Subject: presents "The Flight of Everson K"
Radio Khartoum is pleased to invite you to the premiere of our 18 Frames
Per Second series. "The Flight of Everson K" was originally conceived of as
a thriller soundtrack. Swedish holidays turning to havoc on the bullet
train from the Riviera to Odessa, via Tokyo. But in the end, this record
has more to do with childhood Saturday afternoon outings to the cinema.
Stumbling in on the middle of a movie, trying to guess what gone
before...and staying till the film repeats.
Sweden's elusive Chocolate Barry launches the affair from the fancifully
stormy shores of Malmo with "Passion," a Technicolor surf reincarnation of
the Iberian track from the long lost Grimsby Fishmarket flexi.
Next up is a spy theme with an orchestral sweep for the year 2010, courtesy
of Estonian dreampop purveyors, Bizarre. "Barcode Warrior Twelve" races
across end of the millennium borders in a desperate attempt to stop the
clock.
Without missing a beat, Cyrille Essiar drops us into a frenetic piano
groove. Where Bizarre race against time, "Tempo," a Gainsbourgian café
piece gone berserk, races with it. In gritty black and white with French
dialogue.
>From here, Parisian gentleman and Watoo Watoo's favorite guitar for hire,
Didier Duclos, aka Christine gives us a score for "Barry's Life," a charmed
take on the thriller theme, in sunburst Super 8.
Probably part of what you missed at the beginning of the film, Sweden's
Seashells filter 60's tube TV spy stylings through a quirky guitar waltz
which may remind some of Broadcast, and find that it's "A Nice Day to Kill."
Instant Life supply an epilogue, as they search by twilight for "Ms. Raki."
A blast of pure noir -- from the vantage point of Stockholm watching France
watch America....
"The Flight of Everson K" is released on 31 August 1998. This 3" CD can be
obtained from the best mailorder sources, as well as directly from Radio
Khartoum for U.S. $7, postpaid to any destination in the world. Checks or
money orders should be in U.S. funds and payable to Alexander Bailey. Radio
Khartoum also accepts crispy paper money from France, U.K., Sweden,
Finland, Canada, Holland (only because Dutch money looks brilliant!),
Germany, and Japan, (and possibly other countries), but please add about
10% for bank costs, and be discreet as Radio Khartoum cannot be responsible
for cash lost in the mail.
