Check this out – seriously great song about a guy with a stache…
Ja nu kommer han med mustaschen, och bugar och ber om en dans.
Ja nu kommer han med mustaschen, de andra de har ingen chans.

Thore Callmars Orkester – Mustaschen (Swedish only)
13 SepEbbot strikes again
31 MarEbbot – the fantastic vocals of The Soundtrack Of Our Lives – has done it again. A few days back I browsed through my music library to find some easy listening music for Molly Fake and re-discovered the fantastic album ”Bröderna Lindgren – Vuxen Barnmusik”. The nostalgia for us Swedes that grew up in the 70’s and 80’s is quite intense; just check out the album cover.
The guest list on this album is amazing; except for the Lindgren brothers the following stars has joined the line up: Kristofer Åström, Ebbot Lundberg, Swedish Tiger, Nina Ramsby, Martin Hederos, Mattias Alkberg, Vanna Rosenberg, Swing, Caroline Wennergren Asha Ali.
My favorite track is the second song on the album – En flugas väg (eng. The Path of a Fly).
Check out the album on Spotify or visit the band website on MySpace.
men on a mission
27 Mar
above: two members of the LO union, appearing in a swedish TV debate.
unsurprisingly, these gentlemen were very upset about the arbitrary approval of the AMF bonuses.
sure, we’ll leave the politics out of this blog, but I could NOT resist snapshooting their stasches.
these men are on a mission, much like The Genuine Fakes.
cheers blog readers!

spent the weekend with a dear friend listening to some old vinyls and drinking “Eau De Vie” (I’d call it swedish blue collar brandy).
we enjoyed the re-discovery of all sorts of music ranging from Leonard Cohen to David Johansen. even got a bit of Roxette and Billy Idol in there… on Saturday we also managed to pay a visit to the fabulous Monk’s Café for a bit of kriek, ale and stout. Thanx for visiting, Hank!
also, reading the most recent post from Tommy Fake, I recognized the old Spinal Tap trio from yet another great mockumentary,
A Mighty Wind from 2003.
finally, here’s “Cypress Hill Lyric of the week”:
(WHEN THE SHIT GOES DOWN)
shit, I still stand tall
with tha hill clan, ya’ll
better stand back – niggaz ’bout ta fall
I’m comin’ out blastin’ like Yosemite Sam
get tha cheese n’ tha bread for tha ham…
The Knack abused by Hammerfall
3 MarA great guitar riff, seriously cool drums and excellent powerpop choirs. This seems like the recipe for a great powerpop tune doesn’t it?
The great song My Sharona by The Knack has got all of the above and is a modern classic. The song is the debut single by The Knack, released in 1979 from their album Get the Knack. It reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart where it remained for six weeks.
The swedish metal band Hammerfall has recorded their version of the song and it is – as expected a – horrible thing. Why destroy such a fine piece of pop? Shame on you Hammerfall!
We sure rocked the boat last night!
30 Jan Hey fakers!
It was nice to see some old faces and some new ones at the Jack Rocks finals yesterday. We had a blast and did a very short, intense and energetic set before we sat down in the green room and sipped on our beers and chatted with fellow musicians and new fans. These cruises are a very, very strange phenomenon – it’s not like playing at just any other club, ’cause most of the people there are absolutely and completely hammered. For any non-Swedish people that are interested in anthropological studies – take a ferry cruise!
Anyhow, the event was really great and it was a good start to the new year as well as a little warm-up show for tomorrow’s big event up in Umeå. See you there!

Beautiful Escape Update
16 Mar
The 35 song, triple disc Posies tribute album “Beautiful Escape – The Songs of The Posies Revisited” will be released on May 20. There will be a release party at Nuemo’s in Seattle at a Posies concert on May 17th. It’s bound to be a great show! Plans are also in the works for a release party in Stockholm since so many Swedish acts have contributed tracks to the album. Nothing official yet though.
The Genuine Fakes’ contribution, “Somehow Everything”, was aired on WMEL Radio last night. It’s being added to a bunch of different radio shows in the US and Australia at the moment. It’s also posted on the Beautiful Escape MySpace again, so if you haven’t heard it yet just head on over there and have a listen.
