TLC News Roundup (1/12 – 1/18)
I took a break mid-last week after working rigorously to prepare Tastes Like Caramel for a makeover and migration to our very own server. Unfortunately the music industry will not wait for me so I’m taking the opportunity to compile all the important things that happened since my last post on 1/12 up until today. [...]
Lykke Li & Bjorn Spin at Le Poisson Rouge
Thursday night after Esser’s gig at Highline, Lykke Li and Bjorn from Peter Bjorn and John played a special Vice Magazine Fashion Week DJ set at the West Village’s Le Poisson Rouge for Swedish denim brand, Nudie Jeans.

Lollapalooza Day 2: Ida Maria, Chairlift, Arctic Monkeys, Santigold, Glasvegas, Lykke Li & Miike Snow, Diplo, Yeah Yeah Yeahs!

The festival gates didn’t open until 4PM when the sun peaked out which unfortunately meant bands scheduled before this time were skipped. The main draws of the remaining gigs [...]

I kinda drew the line on teen dramas with the delectable Gossip Girl. But various adverts for online series Rockville, CA that name dropped the likes of Travis, Lykke Li, Passion Pit, White Lies, Kaiser Chiefs, The Kooks and many others – was something that I had to research. Created by Josh Schwartz (Gossip Girl, [...]

CMJ 2008 Coverage: Lykke Li at the Bowery Ballroom
Those of you only familiar with Lykke Li‘s mid-tempo tunes such as A Little Bit or Dance, Dance, Dance are in for a treat when seeing one of her gigs. I was expecting an almost acoustic-like set but was happily surprised to realize how how energetic her live set really is. Industry folk and fans [...]
