It has become quiet around the Swedish
band Tekla Knös. This is because the band's bassist and singer,
Markus, has died all of a sudden some months ago. And although this
is a very sad thing of course, Elof of Etik och Moral Records has now
got down to work in order to release some new recordings of Tekla
Knös. These four songs had been recorded by the band shortly before
Markus fell ill. A fund-raising project has been started and will
hopefully bring in the money that is necessary to make the release
possible. I have asked Elof a few questions about this.

Size Does Matter
(Deutsche Version unten)
We are living in times of
musical play back devices whose speakers are about as bis as a
Quarter Dollar. I am thinking of all those laptops and cell phones
that draw their music from the mp3 supermarkets of the worldwide web.
Of course I do not want to demonize this. It is completely okay to me
if you like to enjoy your music through the two rubber ear plugs of
your telephone. I just want to say: Music can be louder. After all,
size does matter. Some years ago I have dug out a pair of fat old
speaker cabinets and a fat old stereo amplifier from the most remote
corner of my basement. And I was really happy about this sort of
equipment, when a pre-release copy of True Liberty's new album came
flying into my mailbox lately.

Würdevoll altern
Vor vielen Jahren verkündeten die
Descendents trotzig „I Don't Want to Grow up“ und erklärten
damit den Don Quixote'schen Windmühlen den Kampf. Hat natürlich
nichts genützt. Der Zahn der Zeit war stärker. Im Unterschied zu
den Descendents legen MxPx nun ein Album vor, das sich mit dem
Erwachsen-Werden ausgesöhnt hat. Und dazu noch sehr beachtlichen
Dampf erzeugt.
