Imperiet - Märk Hur Vår Skugga

Imperiet were a Swedish 1980s rock band from Stockholm, that existed from 1983 to 1988. They can be argued the most influental band in Sweden for a while, but definitely dominated the new wave scene, which at the time was seen as the same as the punk rock scene.
Imperiet started as Rymdimperiet, a side project to the most popular punk band in Sweden, Ebba Grön, and included three of its members.

Todays tune is taken from Imperiets 4th album "Synd" 1986
But todays tune is from the new release of the album, that was released 1997.
It included the songs "Märk hur vår skugga (Epistel 81)" and "Balladen om briggen Blue Bird av Hull".

"Märk hur vår skugga" is number 81 of Epistles of Fredman by Carl Michael Bellman. It's about one of Bellman's female acquaintances funeral (grälmakar Löfberg's wife).

Many Swedish artists has recorded Märk hur vår skugga, among others Cornelis Vreeswijk, Stefan Sundström, Fred Åkerström and Imperiet. An English translation has been recorded by the Swedish band Candlemass and by the American doom metal band While Heaven Wept, on the album Of Empires Forlorn. English speaking Mediaeval Baebes has recorded the song in Swedish on the album Mirabilis (2005).

Enjoy todays tune!

10cc - Wall Street Shuffle

Im continuing on my youth music here if u dont mind :)

I have picked a tune from 10 CC, they first gave it out in 1974
I remember i just loved it.

They came up with their name 10 CC through the guy who produced their album,
Jonathan King chose the name after having a dream in which he was standing in front of the Hammersmith Odeon in London where the boarding read "10cc The Best Band in the World".

This tune is performed on a beach in Holland 1993

Here it is, Enjoy!

Thåström - Flicka Med Guld

Thåström played at Långholmsparken/Stockholm yesterday togheter with Anna Ternheim and Freddie Wadling. Långholmsparken havent been used for musical events like this in ages so it was a great comeback for the area, its really a great place on a little island in the middle of central Stockholm.

The show was marvelous, the sound was very good (FOH*) also the light was great, thanks to Morgan Brown. Anyway, Thåström did play at this area almost 30 yrs ago with Popstars, was hopeing he would do something about it but nah, a little pity.
The show it self was great, nice collection of tunes. The set list it self was very similar to the one he had when he played at Circus earlier this year.

Todays tune is from Thåströms first self titled solo album back in 1989.

The song is also the bouns track on the cd.
Enjoy!

Anyway this is a good tune!!

Enjoy!

Neurosis - Locust Star

Neurosis is an experimental metal band, based in Oakland, California. Their unique sound draws from influences ranging from hardcore punk and doom metal to dark ambient and industrial music as well as incorporating elements of indie and folk music. The band is highly regarded as the primary pioneer of its genre, sometimes referred to as post-metal. Critic Brian Russ has described them as "atmospheric hardcore". Yesterday did Neurosis once again enter the stage at Debaser in Stockholm Sweden.
It was a very hot evening as the air condition had to be off, a lot of water and beer was served at a almost sold out venue.
But the guys did a hell of a show. Mystical doom in the best outfit. A really dark show with lots of metal feelings in a down tempo psychedelic trance.
The opening act Amenra from Belgium did a very good job with their hardcore punk, down-tempo metal tinge. A nice bunch of guys.
Even got a nice t-shirt from the gig and a decent picture with the guys doing sound check.
