Arkady Fireovitch, the fourteen-handed multi-musician persona of our favorite Canadian band, has written us a letter – and, most importantly, told us the release date of their new album, which will be called “The Suburbs”. There are already some pre-order links, so get your credit cards on fire!

Danmarks smukkeste festival surprises us with a line up we couldn’t have done better ourselves. And as a cherry on top of that whip cream festival they give us Suede. Thank you very much!

Sometimes it pays off reading magazines from overseas. In “Under The Radar” I found an article about a band called Pepper Rabbit. Yes, the band name is discussable, but it’s got a really sweet story behind it. You know, dead furry pet, beloved and know forever remembered by, as far as I can see, a lot of people around the world. Anyway, I listened to some of the songs on their myspace and really liked what I heard. They only got two EPs out so far and I couldn’t quite figure out how to get them here in Europe besides the amazon and itunes download. And I’m not a fan of that. I want to touch music as well as to hear it! So, if anyone finds out how to get me those EPs, let me know.

Finally some news from Arcade Fire. On their homepage you can find a little scratchy vinyl you can turn by clicking on it. If you have enough feeling in your mouse hand you can pre-listen into two new songs called “The Suburbs” and “Month Of May”. That should water your mouth for the new album.

If you have never seen Kashmir live, do it, do it now! We had the pleasure of seeing them the last couple of days in Berlin and Munich. Read more about the night in Munich.

Been to their Munich gig on May 5. Unlike Meg White or that girl from The Gossip, BRMC’s new drummer girl Leah Shapiro looks actually pretty cool with the sticks. We need more of that kind.

There is this wonderful new record, “High Violet”, that is worth a darling alone. All the other great things about this band set aside.

We’ve been waiting long enough. They are coming on tour and bring a new record with them. “Forgiveness Rock Record” will look good in your shelves and sound well through your speakers. We promise.

Another day, another darling from Denmark. Seems like we can’t get enough of them. Turboweekend are what comes out when you give Seal a friendlier face, call him Silas and make him record a mix between underground pop and electronic club music with two friendly faced friends of his. If you don’t know how that could sound, have a listen on their website.
