Status Quo - Picturesque Matchstickable Messages From The Status Quo
Kind of strange and psychedelic, something like first Pink Floyd album but not as good. Although it's not bad, quite listenable I'd say.


Slade - Beginnings
Rather good debut. Nice to listen but there are no remarkable songs on it.


Electric Light Orchestra - On the Third Day
A decent album. It's not bad but ELO 2 was better. I think they might get more and more interesting with further releases. I hope they do.


Hanoi Rocks - Self Destruction Blues
Still nothing special but I see a progress comparing to their first two albums. I Want You and Taxi Driver are quite good songs.


Lenny Kravitz - Mama Said
It keeps the quality of its predecessor. Nice style, songs are really enjoyable and the song made with Slash is a nice surprise. I like this one.


Staind - Break the Cycle
Pretty good album with songs that are heavy but melodic at the same time. It sounds very cool.

This is the first of a couple of reviews I had on my old myspace...
Peace & Love Festival, Borlänge. June 26-28 2008

Peace & Love 2008 was an awesome festival. Three nights in a hotel + Great weather, great music. I have never watched as many bands on any festival ever. Practically 11 full shows... Here's some highlights and lowpoints.

Day one started out as it should with McDonalds food and alot of Jack Daniels and Coke. Me and my girlfriend were looking forward to see Miss Li but when we got there a little late the stage was way too small for her. It was packed with people and impossible to see anything. :( Well, we went to check out Kaizers Orchestra. I loved them when I saw them a couple of years ago but this time they were pretty boring... So we went back to Jack Daniels, Wine and Cider for the rest of the evening.

Day two... A second chance to see Miss Li when she did a show for swedish radio. Only 5 songs and interviews but it was great. Her music is fun and simple with lots of energy and it's cool that she has so diverse inluences that shows in her music. It's hard not to fall in love with her...



Then followed pizza and a couple of hours of alcohol drinking before The Hellacopters. Always a great live band but I've seen better shows. I would have loved to hear more rare songs... Loved when they ended with Sam Cooke's/Otis Redding's Shake a couple of years ago... Still a great show though.



Then followed swedish punk/rock legend Thåström. He did a very intense but laid back almost acoustic gig. Fantastic. Awesome versions of Die Mauer, Märk hur vår skugga and Du ska va President mixed with songs from his latest solo album.



Sex Pistols... I love Never Mind the Bollocks but this was just pathetic. I had very low expectations but they didn't live up to them. Johnny Rotten looked and acted like a clown, like a caricature of himself. They sounded tired and bored and destroyed a lot of great songs. Ugh.



Day three. First some thai food and then various alcoholic beverages at my sister's hotel room to start off the day. Me and Veronica left pretty early to see Nicole Atkins... In the elevator my girlfriend started talking to somebody... I turned to look who it was, there wearing big sunglasses and a hoodie was Linda Carlsson, Miss Li! We shook hands and talked for a minute, very nice. :)

Nicole Atkins was good, she's best in the slow dramatic 60's sounding songs. The Way It Is sounded amazing. That's where she has her own style, like a female Roy Orbison. That style is lost in the rock and pop songs IMO. I hope she sticks to the 60's/Twin Peaks sound in the future and add a string section to the band.



Then it was time for the most important concert of the festival. Roky Erickson & The Nomads. I saw Roky last winter with his ordinary band the Explosives and it was amazing. One of the best concerts I've ever been to. I didn't know how it would work with the Nomads though even if they seemed like a perfect match on paper. Me and my girlfriend were in the front row like we were last winter... The first song was screwed up but after that everything worked perfect. With the Nomads backing the songs got rougher, heavier and more garage sounding. It pushed Roky to sing better and scream more and he was amazing, even better than the last time. Roky was in great mood and the band was having fun. I hope this wasn't the last time they played together.



W.A.S.P. followed, I loved them when I was 10 years old but haven't listened to them in a long time. My expectations were pretty low but it started great, the hits from an energetic Blackie for 15 minutes then things got a little boring until I Wanna Be Somebody and Blind in Texas. It was a good show though.



The last night ended with Hanoi Rocks, always a great live band and a perfect way to end the festival. I liked the new drummer, the funkier songs got a whole new groove.

We also saw Marah and Kent... All in all a jolly good time. :)

The Calling - Camino Palmero
Average one. Gems of this album are Unstoppable and Wherever You Will Go.
The rest is not as memorable but is nice to listen to.


Nirvana - Nevermind
Enjoyable album with famous Smells Like Teen Spirit. But there are other very good tracks on it like In Bloom. Worth listening to.


Hanoi Rocks - Oriental Beat
Maybe slightly better than their previous one but it's still weak. Nothing interesting or catchy. I didn't like it.


Short Cross - Arising
Thanks to Mr. Wojciech Mann I discovered this guys and I'm very glad I did. They recorded a solid piece of rock. Unfortunately it's their only album. It's a shame they didn't gained any attention.


Dead by Sunrise - Out Of Ashes
I was waiting for a long time for this one. I like it though I've expected it to be better. Still, it's very good and songs like Fire, Crawl Back In and Let Down are amazing. Chester's vocal has always been my favorite.


Electric Light Orchestra - ELO 2
I was surprised. From what I remembered I didn't like their first one too much but I really enjoyed ELO 2. Especially anti-war song Kuiama. I must listen to their previous album one more time cause I think I missed something then.
