Some punky powerpop now and then is exactly what we all need to be able to coop with life. Canadas Modernettes does everything right, up till the title track. It’s catchy, it’s intense, it’s great, it’s awesome. Hell(paradise?) yeah, they make smile the whole sunday long which makes it’s so much easier to do the laundry and clean my apartment.

What’s for dinner? Mmm salmon. Pink innersleeve and pink food. Take note of the great looking sleeve. Always been very fond of squares and circles. AND! AND the production! Oh man it’s Bob Rock you know! Track on repeat: Celebrity Crackup.

The only person who can write something that makes this record justice is the almighty Senap/Mustard from the hometown of TT Garderob 100 the front cunt(framstjärt) of Sweden: Gothenburg. How he’ve been waiting! Been nagging about it in each and every post ;). I’ve had in the posting que for a loooooong time but wasn’t satisfied with the first rip.

And finally, today I came around to redo it. Mitt liv is one of the best late 70s punk songs out of Swedens front cunt(Gothenburg) ever!(plus a couple of more exclamation marks). And the lyrics to Mitt liv coupled with the feeling in Anders voice is just top. Enough from me over to you Senap(and I bet Martin has a couple of things to say about it too :)).

I feel guilty for telling Rickard(Guitar) to send me this for review. I will get beaten up and hated I guess but don’t take it personally. Rickard and Emma played in Disconvenience before Epidemics a band which I dug. But Epidemics well… They just try too hard to sound punk. And it fails miserably. I like one song(the song I heard and lead me to say yes to Rickard when asking if he could send it in for review) and that is Bloodstains. The rest just bores me to death. It’s too generic. The lyrics haven nothing to say and the whole thing just left my turntable with out a trace. And I guess that’s what’s going to happen after a few months. No one will remember this. Why didn’t Epidemics try to make a 7″ instead? 

And last but not the least the press release is so goodamn funny: “Waking Up The Dead” is that punk record that will get the teens to dye their hair, tag their Converse shoes, skip school and do something good with their life. You said what? Is that a joke? Who wrote this? Please tell me it was an intern who aspire to write for Vecko Revyn. 

Maybe next time Epidemics.

Even though I´m not in the mood to write anything at all I still have to post a record. It´s my duty to you. And as the responsible person I am I here give you The Killers from Cleveland, Ohio. Edge City is right up my ass/ally. Quirky and with plenty of hookers to kill for. Punchout is typical new wavish punk in the vein that Jay Thurston is so fond of. You know what? I just want to write down some words to cheer me up: dick, cunt, clit, turd, ass, cock, kuken, fittan, klittan, bettan, plättan, apan, satan.
