PINING PROFILE: CEO

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/jun/10/new-band-ceo <— good article in the guardian.

we like your repitition —> http://www.ceoceoceoceoceo.com/

eric berglund AKA one half of the tough alliance.

“ceo is the photosynthesis and an aria, it is silence and virginity lost in a gang bang.
ceo is a bird in space and ceo is the space in a bird.
ceo is saliva, patrón, november rain and panic. it is a relief, a citrine and it is broken dreams.
ceo is the harlot, the prince the snake and the shaman. in a spyker c8 laviolette. and on a mirage.
ceo is raspberries and chlamydia, it is the shadow and it is a clapping game.
ceo is auroras and charlotte casiraghi. it is laser beams and a home by the ocean.
ceo is a lost love and rihanna’s voice. it is hibernation, the spectacle and every breath you take.
ceo is platinum and it is valium, it is a quasar and it is a lie. ceo is a breech forest and a slamdunk.
ceo is the ashanti and ceo is seinfeld. it is eucalyptus, neon and a smile.
ceo is a war zone and a sanctuary. it is dukkha, dilla and the body of light.
ceo is cashmere, sweat, zooxanthellae and a stiletto. it is implosion technology and it is the match point.

ceo is you and you are me and i am ceo.

in eternity.”

we think we’re in love with ceo.

this week our lovely dj bronwyn was out of commission from having surgery so i held down the fjords solo and played a set starting off with some icelandic indie pop and then moving into some more experimental, avante-garde, ambient, and electronic music.

here are the scandinavian sounds:  [artist/song/album]

sin fang bous / advent in ives garden / clangour

symfoniorkestern / Tänd eld på dig själv(för det du tror på) / Tänd eld på dig själv

mum / sing along

the knife in collaboration with mt. sims and planningtorock / colouring of pigeons

kria brekkan / uterus water / uterus water

kira kira / agustskot / our map to the monster olympics

vuk / the arms of spirits / the plains

fever ray / triangle walks / fever ray

air france / collapsing at your doorstep / no way down

cleaning women / across the void

we leave you lovely listeners with an enjoyable video from air france, featuring a different song we didn’t play, called ‘no excuses’.
