Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News When A Camp 's Nina Persson sang, "Now we're gonna party like it's 1699" at her band's show on Tuesday night, she was only half kidding. With plume-adorned microphone stands, an elegant grand piano, sunset-colored lamps and dark blue mood lighting, New York's Le Poisson Rouge was decorated more like an old-fashioned cabaret than a Manhattan music club....

In the second instalment of my music showcase, I went for a rodents theme, well, enough with the bullshit, here you go. Modest Mouse - No One's First, And You're Next (Album) I am not ashamed to say that this was my first experience with Modest Mouse, and the result is a win. These guys are very talented and lack the ability to make a boring record. This one is no different, this album is so good that...

Nina Persson’s solo project A Camp has fallen hard onto its face twice. Both album A Camp and Colonia were lackluster efforts that are not worth the bargain bin, and I am being nice. This is the latest single, also not the best track from the album like “Here Are The Animals.” It’s not worth [...]

Since then, the native of Sweden married Mind Science of the Mind guitarist Nathan Larson, sang on Shudder To Think's soundtrack for First Love, Last Rites , released several more Cardigans records, and along the way started this smart country-pop...

To the extent that it's now the end of June and I haven't posted in two weeks. Yikes. But after packing all my stuff into storage, flying across the country, helping my girlfriend pack all HER stuff, attending her graduation and all the related events and parties and things,...
