Der findes to slags enestående musikoplevelser: Den ene er at høre noget, man aldrig har hørt magen til. Den andet er ikke at kede sig et øjeblik. Det er sjældent, jeg kan sætte kryds i begge bokse. Det kunne jeg torsdag aften, da David Thomas og P.O. Jørgens besøgte Jazzhouse

Tokyo Police Club was a great starter for my third afternoon at Roskilde. These young Canadians delivered their hard and fast rocking beat with the casual detachment of The Strokes or (my personal favourites) The Rakes. Danish The Fashion offered …
