Hello hello,

Mat from Canada here. It's been an awful long time since I've posted. I recently purchased the 'Best Of' disk because I've been jonesing for some new stuff... a little greedy I know because it hasn't been that long since 'Super Extra Gravity'. Well, I found myself rocking out in my room like I was fifteen again and couldn't help but be curious about the potential for another album release. I'm always a little suspicious when a band I like puts out a 'best of' like it's a sort of book end to the band's collaboration. Noel Gallagher had expressed this same thought when Blur released theirs and we all know how that ended up. I know tours are determined by certain economic factors but in reading the other posts, I know you'd have a few big fans here in Canada that would jump at the opportunity to see you guys live. Just keep that in mind ;). A curious and devoted fan,

Mat

Hej Mat!

Well, we hope to get together when Nina is done with her A Camp album, but who knows when that will be? And didn´t Oasis and Blur have a tiny tiny beef back in the days? ;-) Our contract with Universal has exired now, so I guess it´s thei wish to cash in a little. After all we´ve been going on for 15 years, so it´s perhaps time for a compilation album?

We truly love Canada and do hope to come back soon!


Take care

Dear Sir and Madam
Hey I own an up-and coming shop in a small city called Saratoga Springs in upstate New York, and I am trying to open the youth in the area’s eyes to the huge world of amazing music and art that is out there, outside of the bullshit they watch on Mtv that is. So, to get down to brass tacks it would be so awesome if you could throw some posters and stickers, or videos, or maybe even a couple t-shirts my way just to spark their interest and give them an alternate source of culture other than the fucking “boobtube” and falloutbitch, oh, I mean boy.
Thank you so much for your time
Sincerely
Kim (Sasquatch) Harris.


My mailing address would be...

My email is Kvharris@verizon.net

And once again Thanks for everything

Hej Kim!

Well sounds like you got plenty of work there! ;-)
Unfortunately we haven´t got any of these things around. But there´s a merch shop where you can order shirts and then sell them to the kids. They´re quite fancy!

Good luck with your mission!

hey Mags!

How have you done the prosess of select the correct songs for your compilation?
You've said several times that you haven't listened some songs since a long time... So, have you only took in count your memories that you have of the songs (so this means that there's a difference between what a song really is and what you remember of that. U know, memories are always confusing). Have you all sit around a stereo or computer to listen aaaaaall your songs to be sure which ones are THE ONES, or Universal gave to you a list of all your whole composition carrier with A and B sides included?

thank you

Hej

No we decided quite quickly and I don´t think any of listen thru all the albums.
It really wasn´t that complicated, we all agreed on the songs for the album.

MagnusS, 2008-03-05 21:05:01
Hei, er fra Norge. Kjøpte nettopp "Best of" og forelsket meg i "Higher". Jeg har lett på nettet men kan ikke finne noter til denne. Det er selvfølgelig lead guitar jeg er ute etter, det lille fingerspillet i begynnelsen og gjennom hele sangen for så vidt. Kunne dere ha sendt meg i det minste en liten smakebit med noter? Har så lyst å lære meg det!!! Hilsen Gudmund(gudmund.guttormsen@hotmail.com) Stå på!:)
GudmundG, 2008-02-28 22:49:19
Hej Gudmund!

Vi har icke nogre noter till Higher, men hvis du spör/frågar på Forumet så kan måske någon ha dem.

Hälsningar

armando_rock, 2008-02-29 00:22:26

MagnusS, 2008-02-29 09:08:40
Hello Cardigans!
I must say, your new look is cool and simple on this website.
Reminds me of the 80's when was 12 years old writing on my note
books in school of my favorite bands. Love your style Cardigans very
original and humble! We don't see that now a days with bands........
From Nikki Kit P.S It's been a cold cold winter here in Canada this year!
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
nikki_kit, 2008-02-28 02:40:17
Thanks Nikki! Winter has been great here in southern Sweden, no snow whatsoever and now spring has really arrived. And Malmö is on the same latitude as Edmonton!

MagnusS, 2008-02-28 10:31:57
Hey old, wise, beardy man!

I have some trouble with my band these days. We started in 2003, released a record in 2005, which had little success in germany. Looking back, the time was great, but now we´ve kinda grown apart. We don´t see each other often anymore, just complaining and reproaching.
I wrote lots of new songs, which are okay and I would love to record them, but right now it´s impossible. I think, a bad mood within the band would automatically transfer a negative vibe towards the record. I´m in dispear. I´m just hanging around, I want to play but I can´t... Then again, there´s label-stuff and some Fans, who apply some pressure.
Do you have any idea, how this band can survive? I don´t want this band and friendship to end.

I think during (or after?) Gran Turismo, you guys in the band had the same trouble. How could you cope with that and when did you realize, that a new record (Daylight) is possible?

Thank you so much, you´ve been an inspiration ever since.


Norman...
BatesMotel, 2008-02-25 19:02:36
ah, that´s a hard one. Perhaps a trip to the countryside together with some straight forward talks between you bandmembers? And if that doesn´t help, well then you got to look for other people to play with. But don´t give up, we weren´t the best of friends when we decided to work on our band back in 2001. It helped a lot, but it was hard work. Good luck!

Mags
MagnusS, 2008-02-28 10:31:00
Magnus:
Ok, just tried sending you another friend request for the Cardies myspace page.
Hope you get it. Thanks for your efforts!

BTW, how are your Final Cut skills these days? Hopefully good! ;-)

All the best,
Dale

Will check!

MagnusS, 2008-02-28 10:29:12
I can´t believe it,
A "Best Of" without "Marvell Hill?
Why?
Why?

It´s the best song,
why?
kneex, 2008-02-27 02:24:28
Well, we didn´t think so. We prefer Higher to Marvel Hill and not even my songwriting credits on that one could make me change my mind... ;-)

Mags
MagnusS, 2008-02-28 01:49:31
hej magnus,

i was just wondering if you are playing the bass on florian horwath's
new album or another instrument?

i hope he'll play a gig in innsbruck again (he's only touring in germany).

...but i'll get to see christian kjellvander (and boy omega) this saturday in innsbruck : )

i hope you are doing well,
bianca
Biancale, 2008-02-26 17:35:45
Hej

yes I play bass on the new album, we´ll tour in May I think and then we´ll most likely come to Innsbruck. It´s his hometown after all!

Mags
MagnusS, 2008-02-26 22:32:44
hej! Jag förstår om du inte har befogenhet att svara på detta- men många med mig är nog väldigt nyfikna på hur det går för Ninas nya A Camp-platta och om man kan förvänta sig att få höra ngt från den inom en inte alltför avlägsen framtid..
All heder till dig som svarar på så jävla många frågor!

Mvh Jonas

PS! Om du e intresserad av ett jävligt shysst electronica(?) från malmö så kolla upp "Valutan" på myspace
fatduck, 2008-02-26 10:55:31
Hej Jonas!

Hmm jag vet faktiskt ingenting, mer än att Nina borde vara i gång med att spela in NYC. Har du kollat A Camo myspace sidan, kanske nåt nytt där?

Tack för stödet, ibland är det enormt tjatigt men ofta kul.

ha det gött

Magnus
MagnusS, 2008-02-26 13:58:17
Magnus:
Hey man, I apparently can't get added as a friend on the Cardigans myspace that you guys took over. I think my profile is being blocked. It's probably set that way from when someone else was running it.
Laika says she's having the same problem. Any chance you can fix it so we can get on there? Pretty please? :-)
Thanks in advance!
Dale
Bac, 2008-02-25 04:49:50
Hmm very strange, I set it on automatic. Let me go there and switch it to manually.
Seems that some people have thanked us for adding them lately though...

Mags
MagnusS, 2008-02-25 22:32:14
why oh why do you put your video's in real media format? I don't install real player cause my computer can play other formats out of the box. Please put your video's in the HD codec (VC-1) this is an 'independant' format (or make a nice DVD!) xx
todorov, 2008-02-25 10:04:01
or you go buy a Mac! ;-)

Mags
MagnusS, 2008-02-25 22:31:13
Hej Mags!

what would you think if in the concerts that you will make anyday there are only a few few people in? has it happened anytime? does it make you think of "people being tired of us" or "the ones here are the only who understand our mood"?

regards
jotave, 2008-02-25 11:02:04
yeah we did have half full shows in UK last time around, but that was ok. Most other cities were packed so it evens out. it´s hard to be the coolest thing on the planet for 14 years you know... ;-)

Mags
MagnusS, 2008-02-25 22:30:36
Hey there!

Will Nina's "Desafinado" ever be released again? It's such a great song and with Nina singing it..it's even better! (Hint: put it as a bonus track in your next album or something..)

Anyway, I LOVE LGBD...even more than SEG.. :D

Have a nice day!
smithyj, 2008-02-25 16:42:46
Hej!

I don´t think so. It´s now only.. hmm 13 years since she recorded that song and we can´t and won´t release it since e in the band didn´t play on it.

Mags
MagnusS, 2008-02-25 22:29:08
Hi, I'm writing from italy...and dont worry, I dont ask when you come in my country :) but I want to say that the sound of your band is very good for me...unfortunately I have not never seen your live but thank to youtube I have listened to also acoustic versions.

Salutes to all, a special salute to nina,

Nico.

Hi! I come from the island of Malta and I am a great fan of your music. I have all your CDs at home and listen to them regularly. 'The Best of' is a collection of the music history of The Cardigans, with lots of great songs which I enjoyed a lot listening in one great album. Just one question, does this mean that the 'best of' is the last album of The Cardigans (which I do not wish) or we will be hearing more of your music in the coming future? Thanks, Aaron
sconvolts, 2008-02-23 10:19:00
Our first Maltese fan, hurrah!

We hope to get together someday and more stuff together, that´s the plan.

Mags
MagnusS, 2008-02-24 01:28:30
Hi, you mentioned that the collection used for the best of sleeve is by a Christer Mellström. May i know Mr Mellström's contact address? I'd love to inquire him in case he has any doubles that he'd like to part with :) also i can offer him Cardigans releases from my country Indonesia as a trade

Hey Mags,
I hear that another one of my favorite bands, OK Go, is up in Malmo with Tore. From one of the members' blog, Tore is making major readjustments with their thinking - especially getting them away from American cookie-cutter approach to producing music. Sounds like Mr. Johansson is quite an authoritarian. Would you agree? Do you have any favorite behavioral-adjustment memories of your own?
zhoolik, 2008-02-22 09:01:21
Aha, so they´re here now? I met them two years ago when they recorded their album.
Well Tore is a rare guy, we´ve always put our trust in him. And most of the time, he´s been right. Can´t think of any special moments now, but he´s a little odd... ;-)

MAgs
MagnusS, 2008-02-22 11:05:17
Hey Mags...

You know that my first great relationship with a girl song was: "You Are The Storm"

There... Revelation...
Nelzon, 2008-02-21 22:50:36
Good stuff! Can´t remember which song I had, but it was most likely a lot cheesier..;-)

MagnusS, 2008-02-22 11:03:34
From Argentina!!!
Hi!, I'm Jess and I would really like to know when (and If) this new album is going to be edited here in Argentina, because I've been waiting for it for so long!!! (since I don't think I will ever see you live) I hope you can answer me. You're great!!
jess11tw, 2008-02-21 19:50:16
Hej!

I have no idea about a release in South America. There will be a US version later in spring and perhaps that will be the latin american version aswell?
I suggest you try to order it from Europe, shouldn´t be a problem for you.

Take care
