For the first time in my life I’m being forced to cancel a show due to illness. We (VETO) were supposed to play at RUST this saturday, and I for one was looking really forward to this gig. That was up until yesterday, when the recordings with Dúné was delayed by me having to go to the ER with a serious stomachache. The doctorman told me it was probably my appendix that was acting up. I waited for a while until he told me that it was time to crack me open and pull the damn thing out. So they did and I spend all day yesterday at the hospital recovering from surgery, trying to convince the nurses that I was okay so I could come home. Hospitals are really boring places! I finally succeeded in my persuasion of the doctors and they send me home. So a week or so in my bed and I am as good as new, though I am missing some of my intestines.
By the way I had received Broom by Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin when I got home from the hopsital, and boy that’s a great album. Buy it here or your appendix will fester badly. If you have one, that is…

These four kids are going to make it big. Anyways, that’s what I’ve been hearing. Apparently their concert at SXSW was very impressive, and has launched a regular gunfight over who’s going to ink the deal with them. They’ve released three EP’s so far, and you can get your hands on at least two of them over at monarchymusiccorp.com which looks like their own company. Before you download these three brilliant tracks I must warn you, that this is about as indie as you can get!
Have fun!
Cold War Kids – Hospital Beds
Cold War Kids – Heavy Boots
Cold War Kids – The Soloist in the Living Room

Today there were packages in the mail. Little brown packages from Ghostly International!
One had the Skeletons album “Life And The Afterbirth” inside. This is the second album from Matt Mehlan, the primus motor in the, now expanded to a quartet, outfit that is Skeletons And The Girl-faced Boys. This is one of only a thousand copies, with hand-made cover and all. The only free track I could find from the album was “My Friend Drowned In His Own Vomit” but I urge you to go buy it. You will not be disappointed!
P.S. My deepest apologies for the lack of quality in one of the recent posts, Mr. Lava ;-)
This entry, however, will hopefully make up for that, since Skeletons’ obvious qualities cannot be disputed. EVER!

The bass, the guitar and the drums is really all you need. Well certainly for this band it is. The guys and one girl from Death By Kite make noisy and loud music, and they do it better than any other danish band I’ve heard. It’s post-rock but it’s not. It’s just great…
If I should point out one thing that annoys me, it is that they’ve obviously not spend that much time (or money) on recording their material, so it comes across kindda bleak and dull, soundvise.
But if you’re able to see past that, this is definitely worth a listen.
I’d like to hear them live sometime. Allegedly it should be very, very loud and who doesn’t like that, huh? If you can find the time they are playing at Gimle, Roskilde on the 13th of october, and I for one will be there, since I missed their performance at Vesterbro Festival last month.
See myspace.com/deathbykite or deathbykite.com for free downloads and so much more…

So, I’ve spend a few hours (six to be more exact) making this remix of Tilde’s “Toss Away”.
I’ve also uploaded it to the download section for you, so go get it and let me know what you think. The original can be found at tilde.mymusic.dk.
