Was first introduced to Band of Horses when watching Lydverket about the new musical scene in Seattle, breaking loose from grunge finally after many, many years.

The National – Boxer
Learned to know The National while listening to the concerts from Øya at http://www.nrk.no/p3tv.
Howl – Higher Class of Lush
I heard the live version of the song “Silver Equals Gold” on the radio and loved it at once. We soon got to realize thanks to P3Tv http://www.nrk.no/p3tv and the recordings from Øya this year that Howl is a Norwegian band. The released their first album last year and got very good reviews. Got the cd as a present from Anders (and Elin) today, I’m very happy!

Grinderman – Grinderman
Birthday present from Elin. The last album signed Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, with the exception that it is not the Bad Seeds, but Grinderman, a side project. Read more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinderman

Hellacopters – By The Grace of God
Bought this one a while ago. Super Cd, looking forward to the release of the Nordic Tour dates for this fall.

Funny video by Cake
I especially like the comments between 0:55 and 1:10…”Damn, is that it??” … “How much is it? I take two…”
