Interview with Danish indie five-piece The Kissaway Trail. With two songwriters and two vocalists can it be hard to agree on creative direction? ‘No, not so far, rather the opposite. As we don’t write the songs together there is really nothing to discuss in the initial creative process. So far it has been much more of a strength as we inspire one another a lot’. We hear your producer is 20 years old. Very impressive. How did you discover him? ‘I know Niels from a while back. Later Søren and I took a Music Production course with him and he produced a couple of demos with other projects we did seperately pre The Kissaway Trail. When he heard some of the demos for what was to become the Kissaway Trail’s debut album, he said that he simply had to produce the album. And what he had to offer was great, so the rest is history’. So what’s this trail you’re kissing away? ‘Hopefully it is a trail leading to a lot of good experiences and which wil eventually take us to Australia‘.
Listen to Smother + Evil = Hurt by The Kissaway Trail.

We’ve noticed an overwhelming number of hipster kids being photographed in need of the bathroom. The usual traits are legs crossed, feet turned in, desperation in the eye and holding on tight. It looks like we’re not the only ones. Hipsters Have To Pee is a photo-blog documenting the hilarity. Read more
I hadn’t heard of Skelator until the name was excitedly murmured amongst metal-heads in Seattle a couple of weeks ago. I’m new in town, so was dutifully checking out the local metal scene, and the Galway Arms was rammed with leather and spikes. There was a decidedly medieval theme, and I spotted at least one real sword. Read more
I disagree, but the Tights are not pants manifesto is pretty funny. There’s some history and arguments on why tights shouldn’t be worn as pants, and a downloadable kit with printable flyers to spread the word. A commendable effort. Do you agree tights are not pants? I’m all for tights as pants, as long they’re, ahem, worn well.

John Lennon was right, these are ’strange days indeed’. Mind you, he also claimed to have seen ‘a UFO over New York’ and ‘Nazis in the bathroom, just below the stairs’, so he may not have been the most reliable witness. Read more
I’m one of those people who lament the death of analog film as a medium, not because I romanticize the process, but because I love the unpredictable imperfections inherent in non-digital formats. Read more
New York’s Infinity Window make some tripped-out, droning, psychedelic raagas that would be appropriate scoring films by Kenneth Anger or John Carpenter. Ominous and dark, the duo makes sounds like the rebirth of an ancient god.

Who says the Swedes have got a monopoly on seasonal ice hotels? This one in Kemi, northern Finland, is the world’s largest snow castle, standing seventeen metres high and with walls that are 1,100 metres long. It has restaurants, an art gallery, a hotel and a chapel. In fact, since opening in the early 1990s, it’s been quite a hit for tourists to get married at the snow chapel. Hmmm, now that would be a frosty start to any marriage. Read more
