Ouch..
Damn it. I've had to take all posts from the last few days down... for some reason they've been corrupted, and I don't think any of you guys could see them anyway...
**Back up soon**
I promise...
Pastries, Pepper and Canals is a lovely MP3 blog based around the best of Danish music, past, present and future, written from London. We had a club for a while too, but are too overworked to continue it for now... Unfairly overlooked by pretty much everyone in favour of its larger neighbour Sweden, here's our (free and legal- we don't host any of the MP3s, BTW...) attempt to make amends for the fact that Jantelowen is thriving within the Danish music scene...

Apologies for the somewhat enforced absence- I was in Copenhagen for part of the time (and, having heard a sneak preview of the new Nephew album, I can tell yoiu it's pretty darn good) and then trying to teach myself to walk again (don't ask, but it involved falling down the steps in Ideal Bar) for the other part...
It'll be something of a double-header this weekend- new releases by Charlie, Don't Surf, and Wolfkin...
Charlie, Don't Surf's debut EP "How Turkey Turned into Being A Monster" is every bit as good as you'd expect it to be (not that they bribed me by flattering me or anything...actually, I think I'd love them just as much aif they didn't). Collecting together the favourites that I've been raving about for some time- "Friends of French Art", "Breakthrough" et al, the 5 track EP is well worth taking a look at (if only to say that you've got a copy of the CD they released before they were snapped up by a big label...)
Unfortunately, you've missed the contest to win the EP on "Hits In The Car", but that doesn't mean that you should go and buy it now from here for the bargain price of just DKK50 or EU8 now.. I promise you won't regret it
And Wolfkin? Learn about them tomorrow...

Anothe rone of those bizarre update stylee posts- this time to do with Charlie, Don't Surf's Rasmus Hedeman's solo project, Hello is in Hello. Although similar to Charlie, Don't Surf's lofi noodlings, Hell is in Hello is a much rawer 4-track sound...
The tracks are all self-produced demos, with Rasmus playing all of the instruments, with a slightly more bedroom recored fell (Ho hum...this could be because they are all bedroom recordings...Enjoy!
Well worth a listen...

You'll have to excuse my brief absence- I've been a bit busy pretending be a happy goth, watching London's euivilant of the bizarre Chav love that seems to be sweeping mainland Europe and watching dwarf hardcore bands (don't ask) to write for the past few days...
Today, it's more of a label thing...
BSBTA is a Copenhagen based DIY label worth writing about for just for the fact that its acroynym stands for Bloated Beer Sasquatch Theatre Audio (a fantastic name for a label if I ever heard one!) . The fact that it has a fantastic subscribers series of CD-Rs (split into a “pop” and “un-pop” subsection) is a bonus, as is the fact that there’s connection with the wonderful DIY collective KaninKanon…
I’ll leave you to explore the site here, but here’s a sample in the meantime…

Erm..... not quite.
A news story today, I think (my connection keeps dying).... PPC faves Green Pitch have a side project called "The River Phoenix". In contrast to the gentle lilting sounds of the Ace of Hearts, The River Phoenix are more a rock band influenced less by the quiet sound of water trickling, and more by the
The new album's due to be recorded later this month, but, until then, take a look at their Myspace for more info, and to hear a few of the early demos...
If you're in Copenhagen saturday the 7th of October, they're playing with Veto at Pumpehuset, and all over Denmark...

Le Beat's on fire video
I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't even concentrate at all. My stomach's full of butterflies, my ear is sore (from a four hour conversation) and I'm trying to remember how to speak German. And it's all been soundtracked by a copy of EPO-555's "Mafia" that he sent me.
Originally, tonight's post would have been headlined with something like "EPO-555-the godfathers of Dexter Fox and the Mafia", but I really can't be doing with that now- my brain is full of mush and sweet dreams of my beloved.... The sound of EPO-555 is amongst the sweetest around, perfect for lying back and daydreaming ot the harmonies that only Danish bands can do so well....
EPO-555 are music to fall in love to. Just go and listen, before we have to send the boys in....

Here's a beautiful third weekend treat from the archives of Hits in The Car. I'm going to start compiling these myself, but if anyone has any suggestions (or wants to compile one- actually, that might be a good spin on things!), get in touch!
Enjoy!
