Jens Lekman has contracted the H1N1 virus, which you might know as “swine flu”. The pop auteur, who got the virus while on tour in South America earlier this month, is recovering back home in Sweden right now.

Yes.. after conquering London and Berlin, PTBJ logo put its pink and black flag on the Emerald Isle ground.
Unfortunately, I lost the logo somewhere, while moving from town to town (town? village, more likely). And so.. no pictures of the logo in Dublin (however.. they would have not been that different: pubs, food, castles and.. have I already said pubs?).
To whom may be concerned, you can find the rest of this silly footage here.
Happy birthday to meeeeeeeeeeeee!!
Yes, the 31st of March.
I think I deserve a gift, straight from the “Best 10 singles of MY nineties” list.
I would have liked to upload “Leave them all behind” by Ride but, you know, Youtube actually removed some millions of so-called official videos (copyright, permissions, blah blah..), this one included.
However..
Here’s another favourite among favourites.
Enjoy
I love Juliana Hatfield, you know. And I heart her “Daniel” (2000 “Beautiful Creature” opening track) so much, both music and lyrics.
Almost ten years later, here’s another song titled “Daniel”, by another charming girl.
It’s the first single taken from Bat for Lashes‘ forthcoming second album, “Two suns“, out on the 6th of April.
Juliana is Juliana, a comparison makes no sense, okay.
However.. Bat for Lashes’ “Daniel” is awesome, and while waiting to get a copy of “Two suns”, go and listen to kaleidoscopically fabulous “Fur and gold”!! Go! Now!!!
A friend of mine, Andrea (a musical genius, believe me), recently posted a video among the comments in my Myspace page.
It’s “Static Waves” by Pacific UV, a band from Athens, Georgia (now residing in Portland) I’ve never heard of before.
Sort of.. brit shoegaze (Slowdive) meets (stoned and relaxed) Spiritualized meets Cocteau Twins and.. everything that’s dreamy, enveloping, and similar to landing on Earth in slow-motion from a mile high on a sunshiny day.
