Erik Soderstrom wrote: > Has anybody heard of this site? "MoonFire Intertainment"? > But who are these people?

I haven't checked out the site yet, but I heard about it a couple of weeks ago when I attented a presentation by some Ericsson executive. My employer, Ericsson, have finally realized that Internet means big business and big bucks (and of course it is also a competitor to Ericsson's core business, traditional switched telephony), so "we" are rapidly moving in on that market with a whole range of products. Now as for moonfire.com I'm not sure how the story went. But apparently it is a private initiative; there was this girl/woman in the US who wanted to create a music site - fully equipped with multimedia features - devoted to Swedish music. And I believe she simply asked someone at Ericsson if there was any interest in sponsoring her site. And lo and behold, someone realized that this was probably a good way for Ericsson to increase the net.community's awareness about "our" company as a main player on this arena... and thus to get rid of the (mis)conception about Ericsson as an immobile dinosaur stuck in the past. It was really a strategic decision. Seems liked it worked, or what do you say Chief? :) ----------------------------- Date: Thu, 20 Nov 1997 03:51:32 -0500 (EST) From: YoeyGoey@aol.com Subject: indie record auction for a poor college kid hi!! i am holding a big mess of a record auction because i need money to help me through college... there are tons of sarah goodies and stuff from slumberland, bus stop, elefant, harriet, etc etc. i am holding an auction because i didn't know how to price most of these so don't feel intimidated! bid away please! :) thank you! larry bonk ----------------------------- Date: Thu, 20 Nov 1997 03:56:28 -0500 (EST) From: YoeyGoey@aol.com Subject: indie record auction for a poor college kid Doh! sorry for sending this again but i forgot to post the website url. it is http://members.aol.com/YoeyGoey/Sale.htm and oh yes , i guess the auction starts November 20, 1997 and ends around December 4, 1997 until further notice! ----------------------------- Date: Thu, 20 Nov 1997 10:02:24 +0100 From: aquadays@swipnet.se (Martin) Subject: Independent Hello! I have to give my point of view in the debate on what's "indie". First, I agree with Erik, you can't tell if a band is independent just by looking at what label they are signed to. Many bands have made out their own agreements with their label, not using any "standard contracts". The thing is, some bands don't want to be independent. Maybe they think that music is the only thing they really care about. So they let other people control all other parts, like economy, promotion, videos, record covers etc. Other bands want to have total control. They design their own videos and covers, and also have control of the business and promotion. Maybe they have an own label, or they make an agreement with a big label, where they reserve their independency in the contract. The differences between these extremes are really enormous, most bands find themselves somewhere inbetween. And good bands can be found evrywhere, on tiny indie labels, as well as on major multinational companies. A band doesn´t have to be good, just because they're indie, maybe they lack something important like talent. And a band doesn't have to be bad because they're not indie. Look at the world's best band for instance; The Jesus & Mary Chain. They're signed to Warner Brothers!

I agree. But what I react upon is the more the definitions such as Indie, Lo-Fi, EMO, Skatecore, Brandcore, Slowfuckmetal... The way people want to put labels on bands and categorise them. /Mats ----------------------------- Date: Thu, 20 Nov 1997 14:24:45 +-100 From: Mikael Fant Subject: RE: Caroline af Ugglas She's a fake. She's a spoiled Ostermalm rich kid with ambitions. Fuck, she's even part of the gentry. She's not original, she's constipated beyond belief. And the music's crap. Her English pronunciation is non-existent. And as for her interviews I get the impression she's stupid, dumb with some arty glazing. She is to music what Mona Sahlin is to politics. But it's no problem really, we won't have to put up with her for long. She's had her 15 seconds of fame, everyone will have forgotten her in a matter of weeks.

Her English pronunciation is non- > existent. I believe she and her sister Angelica (weather girl at TV3) are from Bromma actually. Their mother Yvonne was the logoped (speech therapist?) at my school Bromma Gymnasium, so it's kind of strange if Caroline has bad pronounciation. One of the sisters (can't remember which one) had a crush on me back then, even though I was much older, so I had to suffer some severe telephone terror for a few weeks... heh! But speaking of the music... Now I've never heard Caroline af Ugglas so I don't what the fuss is all about. But I'm amazed that some people feel so provoked and threatened by her. Give her a break... she's obviously trying hard to make a career in showbiz and what's wrong with that? What if she was an ambitious poor girl from Norsborg instead... would that make her more credible? "Battre lyssna till den strang som brast, an att aldrig spanna en bage" or whatever now that saying goes like. ----------------------------- Date: Thu, 20 Nov 1997 18:34:31 +0100 From: Cilja Kwon Subject: Poppisstad!
