Klerstam Cell Phone Tunes

Three guys out, three guys in...

2010-05-14T00:31:00.014+02:00

So at last I've taken time to throw off some worn-out beasts from this cell-phone collection of mine. Well, out goes Mary J Blige with Stronger with each Tear, Mika with The boy who knew too much and Jazmine Sullivan with Fearless.

In goes Joan Armatrading with This charming Life , The National with High Violet and Keane with Night Train. As simple as that!

Texas Rock Music Singer or Cowboy Rocker?

One of my favourite low-keyed cell phone rockers is James McMurtry. Have you ever been to Billy Bobs in Fort Worth? James is from that city. A nice and a bit slow southern style country rock I'd say. There´s an album from 1995 called Where'd You Hide the Body that still goes on and on in my cell phone. Songs are calm and contemplative and suit all office work!

Rated Rihanna

Here comes Rihanna with Rated R. Very talented and lovely Rihanna. Almost over-talented...
A lot of good singing and soulish performance. Extremely sexy voice she has Rihanna.

Rude Boy: "Come here rude boy, boy, can you get it up? Come here rude boy, boy, is you big enough? Take it, take it, baby, baby Take it, take it, love me, love me Come here rude boy, boy, can you get it up?"
(No problem for the male ego here... )

Russian Roulette: the radio in Sweden always omits the shot at the end...
Photographs: sad love..., do you cry?

Te Amo: jealousy?...
Cold Case Love: love that Hammond organ...

The Last Song: Lots of melancholy, great guitars...."the most beautiful song you ever gonna hear..."

Album overall has great class and stays in cell phone some more time...

For the record we never broke up we just took a 14 year long vacation...

The question about Eagles is not if their album Hell Freezes Over goes into my mobile phone. No the question is why it never goes out?
Remember in the sixties in Sweden when I was in teens, some oldie guys said rock & roll will soon die.

Eagles have not though so I guess their prophecy was a slight miss.
"You can check out any time you like but you can never leave...".

American camp-fire rock group 'veterans' as they call themselves. Their persistent steel guitar arrangements, guitar play virtuosity and song style is something I can't shrug off easily so we go for yet another week here...

Drive-By Truckers - The Big To-Do - Out Now!

2010-03-26T22:37:00.000+01:00

Title of this blog post is taken right from the Drive-By Truckers' website.
Listening to new album now and it sounds as impressive as their earlier releases.
Drive-By Truckers plays a raucous and rough Southern rock style stage rock.
'Get Downtown' is a bit under standard but the rest so far very good guitar
and organ based rythm rock. At times a bit like The Doors once was called
'orgiastic rock'. Very heavy and rythm based steady rock. Singers are not
rocks' strongest but very special to my taste. This Album goes into my phone and
'Broken Bells' goes out.

The Big To-Do

Kathleen Edwards

Perhaps not so well-known to everyone. This
elegant Canadian lady is a big no-no if you
are woman (or not?) or if you are very moralistic.
Warning if you are in the native English
zone: Do not listen to lyrics in title song.
This lady certainly is no innocent school girl.
Band plays extremely tight and guitars are
a nice game. This lady is very welcome and
well just start listening, what are u waiting for?..

Back To Me

Cook in my Kitchen?

2010-03-21T01:16:00.000+01:00

Surely I would let this beauty cook in my kitchen!
But would she? Well, anyway I will definitely let
her fantastic album Stronger with each Tear
reside in my cell phone, another week at least.
No weak spots here folks. Just play!
The lovely Mary J now plays in Aretha Franklin
division!

Broken Bells

2010-03-10T20:25:00.000+01:00

Ok, a band totally unknown to me is called Broken Bell.
I noticed they reached the #1 spot on Amazon's best
selling mp3 albums chart today: Bestsellers in MP3 Albums

From Wikipedia: "Broken Bells is an American indie rock band
featuring artist–producer Danger Mouse (billed by his real name,
Brian Burton) and James Mercer, the lead vocalist and guitarist
for the Portland indie rock band The Shins."

From a quick check the band sounds as tight Indie Rock and
with a slight reggae touch. This is a must for my phone now.

First Album for your cell phone right now.

Hi, happy readers. Today I'll start with an album whose
persistence factor is high in my phone.
Mark Knopfler is in with his solo album: "Get Lucky"
but has difficulties leaving my phone...
'Hangman steps in to do what he is payed for....'

Mark is a very succinct rocker. Poised, calm,
dignified music with historical touch that compels me.
Chords run predominantly in minor for this contemplative
masterpiece.
Cleaning my gun: classic Dire Straits mode.
Favourites are: Before Gas and TV, So far from the Clyde, Piper to the End.
