"Schlager" shows great improvement from their previous (?) EP, "Couldn't Bear To Be Special" - the power pop aspect is still there, but there are applying more spices and colours on this album. Perhaps it's because of the bigger production budget or whatever... Does anyone else think,by the way, that a couple of songs on "Schlager" sound a bit like "Modern Life Is Rubbish" -era Blur?? I like the Cloudberry Jam album even more, because I have a soft spot for both this kind of 'jazzy pop' style and Jennie's kind of female voices... and they don't even sound too much like Cardigans (I was a bit worried about this before hearing the album)! One funny thing though is that the insert of the CD lists seventeen songs, but my disc has only 12!! It says that tracks 14-17 'were previously released on The Art of Being Cool EP'... What goes on??!! Not that I'm complaining too much - there are 12 excellent tracks on it, but this looks a bit strange to me...

Where was it released the first time, besides this EP and "Everybody Else" album? My guess is "It Only Takes A Flashlight..." EP,right? Has anybody seen TBQ live lately? I was just wondering the other day while listening to "Everybody Else" for 10000th time, how do they play these tracks live? Do they have tens of additional musicians helping out, or have they stripped down the songs a bit? I seem to remember that they played at least in Stockholm around March 31st (my birthday :-) Was anybody there? Finally, are there people on this list who are going to Tr{stockfestivalen this year? I'm considering about coming over, and if I knew everybody else was going, it would make my decision much easier - it is always nice to know there will be great people to hang out with.

My guess is "It Only Takes A Flashlight..." EP,right? Kyll{! (Or in another insignificant language: Yes!) I don't know if I'm great, but atleast I will go to Tr{stocksfestivalen. It's just about 130km south of Luleå, and we're not spoiled with many events like this up here. Anybody else on the list planning to go? I'd guess the even takes place at the same location as last year, anyone able to confirm this?

That would be interesting, especially since I suddenly remember how the music teacher in 9th grade gave up on trying to teach me how to play the simplest beats. I still don't get it how you're supposed to be able to synchronize bot legs and arms... I guess I could learn as long as I didn't have to play the bass drum and the hi hat with my feet.

Ever asked yourself why it's always the drummer who is most drunk, takes most drugs, and has the longest hair? Maybe that's actually the key to synchronization? Hmm... let me rephrase: does one become a drummer because one drinks, takes drugs and has long hair? Or is it the other way around? (Hey, I'm off topic too, so what?) /Magnus PS. I have short hair.

Hmm... let me rephrase: does one become a drummer because > one drinks, takes drugs and has long hair? Or is it the other way around? Continuing an off-topic thread... Hmmm, I play drums too, and the other guys in my band say I'm at my best either when I'm completely wasted or when I'm sober. Any degree of drunkness inbetween is not optimal. The stereotype drummer is otherwise the quiet guy who don't even know the name of the songs he plays :) Cheers, M}rten aka the human beatbox (also with short hair) ------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 Jun 1995 21:37:51 +0300 (EET DST) From: trkisa@uta.fi (Kimmo Saaskilahti) Subject: Re: Der Baumschtocks festival As it seems that there are lots of people from this list going to the festival, I guess we should arrange some kind of 'list meeting' (gasp!) and perhaps somebody who knows the city of Skellefte} can plan a tour and take us to see the most significant and interesting places there...

They really are quite boring live. Their music is perfect at home "in the sofa", so beautiful and relaxing, but not when played live. However, I don't blame the group. I think it depends on the music itself. It doesn't fit into the normal gig place - a dark, packed full of standing people local. No, Cardigans' music is the kind of music you should sit down and listen to, not stand up and dance to. They would probably pe perfect at a restaurant or a pub. Well, that was just my humble opinon. Btw, Cardigans have released the second single from "Life". It's "Hey, get outta my way".

Yes, "Couldn't Bear To..." was their first release. "Schlager" is their first full length album, and IMHO probably the best Swedish album this year, so far. About the sound. In an interview on Radio AF here in Lund they said that on the first record ("Couldn't...") they tried to sound the way they thought the audience would want them to sound. When recording "Schlager" they just wrote the kind of songs they liked themselves and didn't give a damn about what other people would think. Well, the only thing I can say is that it's brilliant. Check it out, if you haven't already.

Not bad huh? Second, the Gothenburg version of "Nojesguiden" will probably have an article about this mailing list and it's WWW pages in an upcoming issue - it's still not decided though, so keep them hats on. :) Third, Brainpool, Kent and Planet Waves play here tomorrow, so hopefully, some sort of interview/something will come out of that. Anyhow, have a great summer all of you on the list, and keep it going! (I'll be at the Roskilde festival and the Hultsfred Festival this year. If something happens with my reservations for the above festivals, I'll drive the 1000 kilometers to Skelleftea, go to the Trastocksfestivalen, and drive the 1000 kilometers back.) //Erik ------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Jun 1995 17:15:20 +0300 (EET DST) From: trsaro@uta.fi (SuperBoy) Subject: Come see Super & The Pansies play! Hi y'all, Now here's a bit of news that will surely have all you overseas listers jumping on the planes and boats and whatever to get you here in time: Super and The Pansies, two of the most wonderful pop groups in all of Finland will play live here in Tampere, Finland on Wednesday, June 14. This monster pop extravaganza will take place at Tulliklubi, admission fee being a ridiculously low 20 FIM! Come all, we'll have ourselves a jolly little evening! Both groups can also be caught in the action during this coming weekend in Turku, at the Down By The Laituri festival. Don't miss this!

But one of my friends has been told there still should be some few tickets available around in various european countries. Since I won't be able to go this year, I shouldn't really care. But my friend just send me an desperate email, that he couldn't get hold of any tickets, so he asked me to do the impossible: Get one for him. So if there's anyone out there who think their local "ticket-tealer" still may have some tickets for Roskilde, then drop me a note.
