Doesn't It Feel Good Now, Hurricane?

I have some quick sad news to share with everyone that's unaware and living in the Stockholm area with at least a slight knowledge of the record store-scene. Frizzle Records is officially closing down for good on September 29th which means the best record store I've ever visited will disappear into thin air just like that. Frizzle is a huge part of my life and I've loved every visit I've made in that store over the past few years. It's much thanks to Frizzle that I've become such a record fanatic and now it's going away forever. It's very sad and it makes me all kinds of emotional. I went there today, probably not the last time (it felt like a wake though, everyone was so happy but with sad undercurrents), but it still felt like a goodbye. I bought two 7'' (indie-points!) singles with Foo Fighters; "All My Life" and "Times Like These". It was a very nice visit and I had a chat with Ilhan (the man who IS Frizzle) about Kent's new bogus single and I'm going to miss those very short chats about some random band or release.

R.I.P. Frizzle Records

So anyway;

I "got" Franz Ferdinand's new album You Could Have It So Much Better today and I must say it's very good this far. It feels a lot more "loose" than the debut. It feels like they've roughened up the edges a bit and gone a bit more wild in the studio. It sounds very good so far.

And just to finish off I have to say that Ett Kolikbarns Bekännelser by Håkan Hellström is this years best swedish album, even beating Kent - Du & Jag Döden. You didn't see that opinion coming, huh?
