What was the best album released in 2006 that few people heard?
Loney, Noir by Loney, Dear. Emil
Svanängen is a friend of mine and has recorded two albums a year
for some time. Most of them aren’t released yet, but one of his
albums is released on Sub Pop in the U.S. This man is Sweden’s own
Brian Wilson.
What album or song do you feel best defines this generation?
I guess it’s a short one.
With the rise of MySpace and the ever-increasing presence of bloggers, what is your feeling about using the Internet as a promotional tool? Will MySpace last and are you actively involved in your band’s MySpace page? With the music blogs seen as an increasingly influential source for breaking new artists, do you read them and are they a positive influence that bypasses the industry machinery or just empty hype?
MySpace for me is one more e-mail to administrate. But I think it’s great that it’s a community with a lot of members, where it’s easy to find new friends and music. But the website isn’t very good if you ask me, but I guess they will rebuild it now since Fox bought it. I love blogs and the idea of people sharing ideas and thoughts.
