I can't describe how I feel every time I listen to Young Folks, but I could write an essay about it if I had to. UGH! The song just perfectly captures the life I was promised and strive to still live, idk how to explain it 💔

1/30/25.

Man, it's almost been 20 years since Peter Bjorn and John (Stockholm, Sweden) released "Writer's Block", accurately described by Tim Sendra as a masterpiece. I learned that the band will be doing a small tour of the United States to play "Writer's Block" in its entirety. I plan on going to the show in San Francisco at the Great American Music Hall (tickets went on sale yesterday).

In Sendra's review, he mentioned how Peter Bjorn and John's earlier work rocks harder and is more straightforward than "Writer's Block". I'd never really listened to their early catalogue. So, here we are.

This S/T debut is everything I could have hoped for. Is it better than "Writer's Block"? No - and it's not really close. But, this is very good, and reminds me of Elvis Costello and Split Enz. I'll add a shout out to a contemporary musician who's more quietly mining a similar aesthetic as PB and J - Paddy Hanna. This single just dropped from his new album.

Peter Bjorn and John "S/T" was originally released in 2002 on Beat That! and has been reissued on vinyl by Peter Bjorn and John's own label PB and J Recordings.

Steel A Jeeg's Magno-Mixtape Vol 03

Back it again with a fresh new mix - and you know what that means? The October mix is officially back in the grave.

And along with it is the holiday themed tracklist. Sorry, we're not that kind of mixtape. And I'm not about to celebrate a bunch of buckled hat wearing land thieves.

Remember, each volume of the Mixtape will only be available for one month - with a new volume going up on the 7th. At the end of the day, the old one is deleted. So get them while you can.

The the theme for this playlist is: Reflection

Sometimes somber, sometimes angry - as we look back at where we came from we can always see the road that leads forward. Sometimes that road is messy, littered with the trash that we had to wade through to get where we are now.

I wonder why this month had me so angry, and sad.

Featuring tracks from: Ghostface Killah, Peter Bjorn and John, Mizuki Ichiro, Viktor Vaughn, Seikima II, Björk and more!

You can find the Mixtape here [RETIRED]

The access code is: ROKUSHINGATTAI

The zip contains 12 songs in various file formats (often lossless) a text file breaking down the track listing with liner notes, and custom album art. Feel free to share the music with anyone you like.

2/15/25.

Ahhh....the sounds of Swedish pop. There are certainly countries or cities that have a sound. San Francisco has "fog pop", New Zealand had a "Flying Nun" sound, and I think there's a Glasgow sound - I don't know what to call it, but its a sound.

I also think there is a Swedish sound, and it lies in the vocals. Jens Lekman, and Peter Bjorn and John immediately come to mind when I hear Per och Olof. We touted his compilation CD "Rädd häst" in August 2022. I have never tired of hearing it. Frankly, it's a shame that only 4 Bandcampers have bought this. It deserves to be heard and loved by many more people.

In April 2025, Rama Lama Records will release a full length LP from the Malmo based musician. There's only one song, so if you want to get more of a feel for Per och Olof's music, by all means give Rädd häst" at listen.

Steel A Jeeg's Magno-Mixtape Vol 02

Note: This mixtape is officially DEMAGNETIZED. Retired. See the pinned post for the most recent volume!

October brings with it brisk weather, pumpkin spice lattes, and a spooky season of ghosts and ghouls!

And to celebrate, we've got 13 extra terrifying tracks of music for the month! Goblins, Vampires, and the scariest thing of all... Americans.

Remember, each volume of the Mixtape will only be available for one month - with a new volume going up on the 7th of each month. Or in this case — the 13th. Because it's an extra creepy number!

The the theme for this playlist is: Halloween

Halloween themed and inspired music from my collection - so nothing gimmicky that I only listen to once a year. We're not doing Christmas music and stuff, that's not what we're here for. This is genuinely good music that happens to fit the theme.

And if it doesn't, don't worry; I'll find some sweaty way to force it.

Featuring tracks from: Malice Mizer, David Bowie, Tyler the Creator, Goblin, Seikima II and more!

You can find the Mixtape here [RETIRED]

The access code is: SPINSTORM
