La Blogotheque

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on March 4th, 2010

Everbody has those slow days now and again where you find yourself sitting in front of the computer with nothing to do. Flipping through the same cycle of websites over and over again, hoping to come across something new, exciting and hopefully life-changing.

Teenage Engineering

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on March 2nd, 2010

Teenage Engineering makes really (really) nice looking things from their Stockholm studio. The first thing that caught my eye was the OP-1 synth. It looks amazing, with a fun, minimalistic design, but it actually seems like a very resourceful little music box as well.

Twins Twins

Twins Twins is (apparently) my favourite band at the moment. They are from Copenhagen, Denmark. They make indie-pop. And they are cool.

It was the decade I started listening to good music. I was 10 years old when I first discovered life changing genres in music like post-rock, electronica and indie-rock. The noughties had just began.

New MGMT

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on February 9th, 2010

MGMT has finally announced the date of the release of their second full-length. They had massive success with their first, but I’m a bit hesitant in my excitement about the second.

Coming up!

coming-up

It’s a new year. A new year of forthcoming albums and new bands. And to be honest, I couldn’t be more thrilled. After a slightly disappointing year I’m filled with optimism and joy over all the (possibly) great albums up ahead.

Top Fives

top-five

The year has just past and it’s a time for lists. Top 100’s, 50’s, 20’s and 10’s in everything you could emagine. Therefore, since we haven’t had a tradtition for being exceptionally different and innovative so far, we’re gonna do our own list of top 5’s from the past 12 months, and we promise, this upcoming year, we’ll do some seriously innovative, original writing to make up for it.
