Summer Fiction - Throw Your Arms Around Me

This was exactly what I needed right now. Thanks a lot Ljudvågor! ---->

Another song I've listened to all day is Take You With Me by French Films. It's a really good pop song!

"...waiting for the summer time...!"

High Highs - Open Season

This song reminds me of Travis and some of the songs on The Man Who. Can't think of which though. Maybe As We Are. But this band is a lot softer or as they express it: their influence is silence. Perfect songs after a nice morningworkout. Please visit their website!
I think this band is suppose to come out with their debut album pretty soon. Does anyone have rumours or facts?

What else is new?

Radiohead - Lotus Flower (new single from upcoming album)
Wild Nothing - the band of the original Live in Dreams, their album is from 2010.

The place to find new music:
Blalock - my guru!

And:
ACE - this is the go to club in sthlm if you want indie music. Listen to their top 100 here and visit their site and download some songs.

Band of Horses - Factory

I was just going to describe this song as an old classic when I realised it came out last year. Have listened to it so many times that it feels old! I'm not tired of it though! Still love it! And the album too! ...And the lyrics!

"It's temporary, this place I'm in
I permanently won't do this again
My belongings scattered all across the hotel floor"
- that's literally me!
