Just so you don’t think that all Swedish music is bad or intentionally pathetic, I have to make some advertising for the Swedish band Detektivbyrån. They have made one of my current favourite albums, the Hemvägen EP. Check out the title song, here played live on Swedish TV.

Yes, it’s swedish folkmusic, mixed with french chansons, and electronica. Unique, melodious and awesome. Go bloody buy the album.

Nine Inch Nails now join Radiohead as experimenting with alternative revenue models. The new album, Ghosts, is available to buy online either as downloads for five dollars or as a double CD for ten dollars. You can also download the first part of the album for free via BitTorrent.

I’m listening to it right now, and a review is most likely in a couple of days.
