Influences
Most of all eachother. Love & life. Girlfriends, movies, food, books, travelling, relationships etc.
And lots of good music of 'course. But there is so much music in the world, that we can't mention just a couple of things, it would look silly and give you the wrong impression. So we don't mention anything.

Insound Introduces the Insound 20!
Insound, the premier online indie music store since 1998, has teamed up with designer Jason Munn of acclaimed design studio The Small Stakes to develop an exclusive music merchandise & design project, aptly titled the "Insound 20." The project features iconic designs for twenty of Insound's favorite bands, silk-screened onto American Apparel t-shirts & hoodies as well as on hand-numbered and signed silk-screened posters. All product editions are limited. Insound plans on launching a new series each year, featuring a new designer or studio and twenty bands.
The bands in the inaugural Insound 20 are: 1. Beirut 2. Black Heart Procession 3. Built to Spill 4. Calexico 5. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah 6. Death Cab for Cutie 7. Department of Eagles 8. Grizzly Bear 9. Jose Gonzalez 10. Magnolia Electric Co. 11. New Pornographers 12. Okkervil River 13. Peter Bjorn & John 14. She & Him 15. Spoon 16. The Constantines 17. The Decemberists 18. The Hold Steady 19. The National 20. The Thermals
Only 1000 t-shirts and hoodie sweatshirts and 200 posters of each design are being made, and they will only be available on Insound.com. Pre-orders will be taken starting on July 15th, 2008. Product will be shipped in mid-August.
Additionally, a 21st design is being sold that includes the names of all bands in the Insound 20 program. 100% of the profits from the sale of this 21st shirt and poster will go to benefit 826 NYC. 826 NYC is a nonprofit tutoring, writing, and publishing organization, dedicated to providing free literacy programs for children, and part of 826 National, the parent organization with locations in seven cities across the country.
Insound was founded in 1998 and has consistently endeavored to remain ahead of the curve on new music, merchandise and e-commerce features. Insound was the first place online to sell Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Interpol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Tapes 'n Tapes and more, while still embracing music's past as the best source for indie and influential vinyl releases online, limited-edition 7"s and classic album re-issues.

Longtime fan & supporter! Love your stuff! My wife Tenayah (Sioux) is in her first online pin-up contest & we don't have as many work friends as our competition, so we need any help we can get from our myspace friends! You can vote for her once a day from now thru July 19th @ pinupvixen. com. Thanks for any help from any fellow fans! Seriously, this isn't some kind of cheesy joke advertisement or anything! I'm a real fan!-Aaron
Thanks for the add. I read a saying written by someone about the Hives a while back but I think you guys are cooler/better so I will insert your name instead - "Peter Bjorn and John is law and the rest are crime" I thought that sounded pretty cool. Anyways, thanks.
Hej på er Peter, Björn och John och stort tack för vänskapen här. Hoppas ni har en härlig sommar. Kolla gärna in Meadowmusic. se, en ny mp3-blogg, där vi tillsammans med andra i nätverket Meadow lyfter fram ny svensk musik. /Pär
