I'll be the lumberjack, you’ll be the tree

I don't really buy music anymore. Therefore, I thought it's almost worth mentioning when I do!

Nickel Eye: The Time of the Assassins

Nickel Eye is the solo project of Nikolai Fraiture, the bassist of the Strokes. The album was released a few months ago, but it hasn't become too popular. This is mostly due to the Strokes' reunion which means Nikolai's been busy with recording new material with them instead of promoting this. Great album, it's good to know that there's at least one of the Strokes who can go solo in the end.. referring to Albert Hammond's solo albums and random tracks Julian Casablancas has featured in.

This is the single, think I've heard it at least 40 times by now. For me, that's a lot. I usually get bored very easily. What suprises me the most is how well Nikolai uses the monotone singing voice associated with Julian, it's almost more Strokesy than in Strokes' third album!




Jenny Wilson: Hardships

The Swedish daycare centre milf releases her second album.



Agaskodo Teliverek: Psycho Goulash

Recommended to me buy Riina's London entourage. If you get a headache from listening to Battles, Deerhoof etc, don't bother. Doesn't fit most moods a normal human being goes through but when you're buzzing and have endless spring energy in your veins and are going to enjoy a walk outside, it's perfect.

OWN NOTE: Go for a walk. (I must be pale as a zombie, an endless flood of essays and exams has kept me indoors for a month. Painful.)




Sin Fang Bous: Clangour

Another solo project, this time it's Sindri Mar Sigfusson from Seabear. I have to say I prefer this to Seabear. For shy geeks.
