I purchased Witchcraft's latest album, The Alchemist, yesterday. They will be the support for Motörhead (!) when they play in Stockholm, not to bad I guess.
I found this review at www.allmusic.com, really nice words about the album:
Black Sabbath is rightfully considered a trailblazer of the doom metal genre. But the next group in line to carry the doom torch was Pentagram, a U.S. band well versed in their Ozzy and Iommi-isms. While Pentagram never scaled the heights that the Sabs did, they certainly left their mark on countless subsequent bands throughout the world — especially Sweden's Witchcraft. On their third release overall, 2007's The Alchemist, the quartet continues attempting to turn the clock back to 1975 — Magnus Pelander's vocal delivery is an awful lot like Pentagram's Bobby Liebling, while the music would provide a fine soundtrack to a high school stoner's basement party — when the folks were out of town, the bong smoke was thick, and the black light posters were proudly on display. However, as with most doom metallists, quite a few bits have a certain familiarity to them — case in point, "If Crimson Was Your Colour," which contains a riff reminiscent of Megadeth's "Symphony of Destruction," while "Hey Doctor" contains the same drum breakdown in the middle of Sabbath's Vol. 4 obscurity "Under the Sun/Every Day Comes and Goes." But the group also shows they aren't afraid of laying down a Wolfmother-esque groove from time to time, as evidenced by the opening of "Samaritan Burden." Doom metal continues to thrive in the early 21st century, as evidenced by the emergence of Witchcraft.

The Hellacopters latest 7" single, Darling Darling / Baby Come (Sep 2008). I'll have it in the mail same day it is released. Can't wait to hear the non-album B-side.

Tonight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAnnF-WGJR8, well not really, but almost.
In two months I will be attending The Hellacopters last conserts, first on the 25th of October and then, the last one ever, on 26th of October. It will be tears and laughter, the worlds greatest current rock'n'roll band is history. I kid you NOT.

The pic is great, Swede!! and this ice-cream! oh I want it! =)
Thanks Inga May! If you ever come to Stockholm a sunny summer day, be sure to have an ice cream at Kåkbrinken in Old Town.

Noora, your new hair colour looks great on you! When I was a kid my hair had that same colour, but a little brighter. But the older I get the more the red colour seem to fade away.
This is me in June. Do I need to tell you I love ice cream and that I didn't need to eat lunch after that big one!
Edited for spelling.

I can't remember seeing this one - who's in it? The Clint Eastwood / Lee van Cleef pairing in Leone's other westerns was perfect!
Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson, Jason Robards and Claudia Cardinale. It's a classic.
Check out the theatrical trailer right here
..or even better, the opening scene

Glad you finally got to see 'em, especially after being a fan for so long. I had to miss out the last time they were through here but hopefully there will be some more NC dates before this tour wraps up.
It was well worth the wait! They sure kicked ass. The set consisted of songs from all of their albums but with focus on Brighter Than Creation's Dark. Shoona's I'm Sorry Huston and, what I think was a new song, a number by Patterson Hood, was among the highlights. It looked like they really enjoyed playing here and that they will come back again. Can't wait to see them next time!
That oughta kick ass. I can't wait to see Wilco on Friday, I think it's been a least a couple of years since I saw them last. They were a little shaky that evening as it was the first or second night of that tour but they should be in rare form on Friday since they've been on the road a while now.I've never seen Neil Young, so that is definitely something I look forward to.
Never seen Wilco either, sure would be great to see them sometime. I'm sure you'll enjoy their show on friday!

Drive-By Truckers, last saturday. First time they visit Sweden. I hope they will come back here again. Great show!
Next weekend I will see Neil Young, Buzzcocks, Sonics, Sonic Youth and a couple of other bands.
