Hi jalopy22! ROTH is a Swedish pop-duo composed of Gustav and Julia whose vocal harmonies take influences from all sorts of music from Queen to Feist. Hailing from a southern suburb of Stockholm, the duo are determined to produce and record more music with their pop- and rockinfluences. Check out their latest single here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYYcM4WDUVM and let them know what you think about it!

so, I really want to start a local folk(ish) collective, I was wondering if you'd wanna help me out... also, I'm writing a local art/music blog, wanted to know if you'd wanna write a post or at least comment on the scene for it, I know you don't really know me, but you seem cool and you know Pat which is points in my book!

Yeah, it's cool to see a tight collective make it somewhere, it's something I wish I was a part of, but they're a bit amateur. I feel like they could get better in time, especially with some more funding and a bit more direction, maybe rely on something other than just shock value

yeah, I love hip hop, I'm not totally positive of how I feel about him either, some of the stuff is hit and miss, especially the beats, and the lyrics get disturbing at times but that doesn't bother me much... I dunno, for some reason I'm totally fascinated by the whole OFWGKTA thing, I think I just like how together they are, how collective and how goofy... and I do like a good amount of the songs like "Yonkers" pr "Sandwiches" ore "64" from Mellowhype

it's good. it's much more personal. seems like a natural style progression, as much as i love the grandeur of his debut.

fuck, everyone loves Tyler, The Creator, people I wouldn't even expect!

Yess... I only listened to the first song though. I haven't had enough time to really sit down and listen to the whole thing. I'm so happy that you get to see him again! I want to hear all about your experience.

i finally get to see SUFJAN!

Did you see Man Man AND Mono?!

uh-oh. sometime in the past year and a half, our compatibility dropped from very high to low.

yeah, X&Y is great... especially for night time driving :)

Where are you seeing them?! Are they still with Blind Pilot? Tell me everything!!

No, silly. Like, the location in Rhode Island that they wrote all of their music. Ya know?

I haven't!!! And Justin Vernon is my hero.. so shows how much I keep up with him. And yes, RI is a sweeeet place to be from. It was cool reading the Low Anthems cover where it says they wrote all of their music, because I can totally picture it in my mind.

Actually.. I have! They opened for Blind Pilot and they're from Rhode Island!! (which is where I'm from incase you were wondering why I was so excited).

I'm jealous that you have easy access to legit cities like Aspen, CO.

yes I love them! And I've heard bits of their new stuff. Not bad at all. I didn't instantly fall in love with it which is a good thing. They are playing in Nashville in April... you should come!!

no but I will do that like... right now. Speaking of good music... did you know Scarlett Johansson can sing?! Listen to her and Pete Yorn's stuff. So good. A lot like She & Him, if you're into that kind of thing :)

i haven't heard that piece! Crumb is the man though :) I had a music history quiz today so I was studying up on Schutz... yay baroque!

i'm happy to see George Crumb right next to Sufjan on your top plays this week :) what a winning combo!

oh goodness, you're right. I will pray every night that he comes to Nashville. I hope you will do the same!

Oh my goodness. That's the conversation I've dreamt about having with him for the past 3 years of my life! So much jealousy is brewing inside my body right now!! :-)

YOU TALKED TO HIM?! It's like you're living out my fantasy... this doesn't seem fair at all :) I'm glad you enjoyed it, though!

Did you see him yet? How was it? What did you think of Bon Iver?

Oh my SHIT. Bon Iver is amazing. You'll love that show. Soo.. what do I have to do to get that second Sufjan ticket of yours?

I'm sure you know this already, but I thought I'd inform you that Sufjan is on tour. Get your tickets! All the shows around me are sold out and I would hate for you to have to deal with that heart break.

it caught my ear as i was going through that album. :)

Hooray for Old Crow Medicine Show!

Have you heard any Destroyer?

Yay! Let's be friends. :) Jeff Mangum has one of my favorite voices ever.

Heh, I sure do. I got into Amiina after I saw them live with Sigur Rós in 2006. They have created some of the most relaxing soundscapes I've ever heard. múm seem to be a bit more experimental with their instruments and vocals than most other post-rock bands. I see them as sort of whimsical. Out of the two, I appreciate múm so, so much more because their music is more varied. I've had a slight love affair with experimental Icelandic music for many moons. :)

i like it a lot.

now that you mention it, woodpigeon and sufy do have some similar sounds, but i do still think of them each as distinct. discovery sounds a little nuts, but i'll give them a try if you insist.

you know, i didnt know what to expect with them, and their style surprised me. but you know what else? i dig.

indeed i do, and i patiently wait for more :).

: )

whoh... no, but from what it sounds like, i need to huh?

i'm on a beirut binge with no intention of an intervention.

so last.fm just emailed me saying i had a message, right? when i clicked on the email, for some reason it scrolled down a little so i could see what you sent, the best regards of the last.fm team, but not that you wrote the message. i thought they wrote it, and i thought it was very strange that last.fm wanted to know if i have a dropbox. i believe i should, but ive never used it before, so i dont know it its set up properly. however, im loving grizzly bear and interested in this so-called "newest album" of which you speak.

akron/family, andre ethier, cass mccombs, cymbals eat guitars, hauschka, here we go magic, magnolia electric co, nickel eye, the pains of being pure at heart, psychic ills, telefon tel aviv, timber timbre, white lies?

right! yay!

he's amazing!

haha.. dc talk... nice. :)

yeah! i like them! i was just doing homework and flipping through my 0 playcount list :) def a good decision.

yay music history... you can do it!

SUPER friends are always the best!

'Cause this is what you've waited for Your chance to even up the score And as these shadows fall on me nowwwww BAH! So awesome. His voice makes me melt. Have you listened to the Swell Season?

yeah. i have to get back to the real deal :)

RATATAT! I'm so ooooo jealous
