JAG TROR JAG ÄR KÄR släpps idag i onlinebutiker och på Small Press Expo på Kulturhuset i Stockholm. Daniel Novakovic kommer finnas vid Optimal Press monter på SPX större delen av lördagen ifall någon skulle vilja köpa ett exemplar på plats.

Känslor så stora att man knappt vet var man ska bli av. Pop. Sjutumssinglar. Sarah Records. The Ronettes. Pojkrumsdrömmar. Tonårsdrömmar? Så oerhört svåra att överträffa. Allt är egentligen väldigt enkelt. En knapp som visar att hon är nere med The Pastels. Pow! En blå och vitrandig tröja. Svarta Converse eller Mary-Janes. En blick under lugg eller över kanten på ett par svarta Wayfarers. Ett oskyldigt leende. Pop! Du kan inte gömma din kärlek för alltid. Lätta, trippande danssteg till So Tough eller The Kids At The Club. Du känner dig som 17 år igen. Och ditt hjärta slår ett par extra slag. Precis som första gången du hörde Ain't Gonna Eat My Heart eller Orange Juice. Åh, allra vackraste Orange Juice. Du tror fortfarande på magi. Och att göra blandband. Med poplåtar som hennes nya pojkvän aldrig har hört talas om. Med omslag gjorda av bokstäver utklippta ur dagens tidning. Och ni har tv:n på medan ni ligger i sängen. Och du inte bara tror att du är kär. Du vet.

Playlists from Upset The Rhythm and Pure Groove sets

We've been running around London playing records like there's no tomorrow so this is a short round up with playlists so you can see what you missed.

Upset The Rhythm with Covergirl, Plug and Hunx And His Punx at CAMP Basement
Superfun night! Covergirl were totally wired and totally awesome. Second gig ever apparently but very impressive. Hopefully they'll release something soon. Plug reminded me of Suicide and were tight as hell as always and Hunx And His Punx were great fun with matching leopard skin leotards. A spontaneous dancefloor followed after the bands. And you know we like us some spontaneous dancefloor.

Pure Groove Record Shop
A pretty quiet night but we had fun playing lots of different stuff and chatting with the super nice beer geeky bar staff. The Dark Star IPA was so yummy. They have the Pure Groove’s Second Ale Festival starting 26th April which should be amazing.

Guest Mixtape 02: Mandy of Garbo's Daughter

Have we got a treat for you! Mandy of Garbo's Daughter sent us an amazing mixtape, perfect for picnics under blossoming cherry trees with a basket full of cold beer. Lots of cold beer.

Henry's Dress and Go Sailor at the Slumberland 20th Anniversary

No, we're not slightly pissed that we missed what looks to have been the event of the year. Why do you ask? Pop Song Romance has lots and lot more videos from the San Francisco gigs. Like this one. Oh Go Sailor...
