Scandopop questions

[jeff-worrell.livejournal.com]

1. Cover connections: what is the sleeve of the new Margaret Berger alBUM reminding me of? The typeface used for the artist/title is really familiar. Something French perhaps? Or possibly it's a movie poster homage.

2. Spur of the moment purchases: I just ordered said Berger LP from cdon. To make the purchase feel more cost-effective I also bought the Marie Serneholt alBUM, as cdon are virtually giving it away. I have no idea who Serneholt is or what her music sounds like. Did I do good?

(This post calls for my first ever LJ 'mood', I think, although I was hoping for a "carefree" option.)

another time, another place, another world

Margaret Berger is great and has an Eminem reference in there somewhere. It was my #2 album of 2006 only falling to mad violin industrial.

Really good bits include 'Seek I'll Hide,' which I thought was a bit rub but then put it in my set at Indiesoc awhile ago and decided I liked it a lot; 'Samantha,' which is all about drinking a lot of gin and forgetting the fvckwit or something and she wears a TENT on a spaceship in the video and still looks good; 'Robot Song,' which as koganbot mentioned is divine, it's this massive love story about her and a robot in a dystopian future and it just shimmers and aches in this completely glorious manner whilst also managing pop squelching etc. and 'Have You Never Ever,' which has actually become my favourite song on the album: lonely, streetlight rave of a sort Rachel Stevens approached but didn't quite scale on 'Funny How.'

Not just an Eminem reference...HI, my name is...my name is...my name is Margaret! (Or is she saying Margot? That might be even better)
