Timo of the day
It was a while since I had a song of the day, or wrote anything here at all. In some meme some time ago I wrote that I don't sing. I don't, because it sounds horrible, and the idea that someone would hear it is mortifying.

Sir Eric Beyond and the Avant-Garde
I think I just had a small music-geekgasm when I was given the link to the Swedesplease - a blog by American Craig Bonnell about Swedish indie music from all kinds of different genres (though most seems to fit in under the wide denomer "pop"), and virtually everything come with free and legal mp3's to sample the music. Tons and tons of new ( Read more... ) -
Carny of the day
Time for a song of the day. I re-discovered the Deathwatch Beetle Repairman album Hollow Fishes. Today's song of the day is The Carny of Mr Dark, from that album. -
