Mental Wanderlust...

An eclectic mix of mainly Central Asian and former Soviet Union news, plus a few weirdities and random articles that have caught my eye while wandering through the internet. Occasionally personal, mostly topical, generally intelligible, infrequently ranty and sometimes even entertaining - for a certain target demographic, at least... This blog is currently mothballed and currently (March 2010) I do not have any intention to start it up again. This may however change in the future.

Danish pop/rock music

1. Carpark North - classic pop/rock with an electronic edge. Addictive.
2. The Ravonettes - more laid-back than I expected, but it's growing on me.
3. Nice Little Penguins - have only heard clips, but sounding good, and who could resist the name... Just got to find a record shop here that has their albums in stock...

And not Danish, but still worth a mention:

4. Kent - solid, whether they're singing in Swedish or English. Reliably good. Their site is all in Swedish, but they have clips of a lot of tracks up and it's well worth a listen

For a really thorough looks at the world of Nordic pop/rock music, It's a trap! is great, as is For the Easrdrums, which is not just Nordic/Scandi stuff, but does a fair amount on it - and the mixtapes for download are excellent.

And... seeing as the pure camp of the Eurovision is upon us tomorrow, it'd be rude not to mention it - all the details are available here, including clips of each song - try out Moldova's Zdob shi Zdub's entry - but it won't win...
