Jens Lekman contemplates LG lawsuit, preps live DVD/EP
According to Jens Lekman's blog, cell phone giant LG (you know, the phones you get for free when you buy Cingular's cheapest plan) has used a song in their latest ad campaign that sounds curiously similar to Jens's "A Sweet Summer's Night on Hammer Hill". And what does Jens have to say about this?
"If you live in the United States of America you might see a washing machine commercial with a song that apparently sounds a lot like one of my songs. It is not one of my songs but here's the story. I was approached about a month ago by this company , represented by a myriad of producers. They wanted my song, I said no. Yesterday I saw a comment on my Myspace site "Holy crap, this LG commercial just featured a Sweet Summernight on Hammer Hill". I got worried , I contacted my recordlabels. Today I got the verdict: It's not your song, but it's something very similar. I havent heard it yet so I can't tell if I've been totally ripped off or not. If I have then I'm the total loser - my song gets associated with a washing machine and I get paid nothing for it.
Take a listen: LG Washing Machine Commercial Audio
And then this: Jens Lekman - "A Sweet Summer's Night on Hammer Hill"
However, Jens has announced no legislative action in his defense. Come on, it sounds really similar. It even has the clapping and trumpet and everything! Oh well.
Meanwhile, Jens continues to work on the follow up to last year's gorgeous Oh You're So Silent Jens in Goethenburg. As a teaser, Jens is planning to release a DVD/EP entitled Kullaberg, which features five new songs supposedly recorded in a hollowed-out volcano. Right.
There is no confirmed release date, but I have the tracklist for you. Does that help at all?

actually, what you have there is the music jens gave to LG to use if they wanted to, instead of ripping him off. they declined, but what they came out with is even more similar to "sweet summer's night..." than what he gave them.
it's upsetting really, but not much of a surprise that a corporation such as LG would do that.
and as for jens, i don't know if i admire him more for not getting litigious, or if i think he's being silly about it. he should and could sue, and i think he'd win, but i admire him for not going down that path.
Wow, this is so old but I will comment anyways.. While it is lame that they used something that sounds like his song..His song is a sample of an old song just mixed a little. Like a lot of his songs, for example basically all the music to "Higher Power" is the intro to Blueboy's second album. We are not talking just a blip here a beep here but whole musical phrases somebody else wrote. So why should he have a problem if somebody rips off his rip offs. I like Jens Lekman but I swear I keep hearing old songs he sampled and think "wow, he didn't write that either." Usually samples are used in a more obvious way or more as a small highlight, not as the background for a whole song. I'm not surprised he is having so much trouble clearing the samples on his new album.
Really good article. I have been following your blog for last 3 months. You have good knowledge on Mobile(cell phone) Industry and happenings. Please continue the good work. Thank you.

Now here's a shoe-in for the list of the year's best gaming-related clothing : Adidas has brought back its ZX 500 running shoe, and, since it originally comes from the '80s, the gaming galvanized design and coloring is an easy choice ... Right? The kicks won't be the coolest part of the deal, either ; they come packed with a combo bracelet/USB flashdrive containing ZX Runner, a computer game based primarily on ... The shoe itself.
GameCulture writes the game stars a personality named'DJ Zed' who, according to Adidas, has 5 mins to'run, moon-walk, climb walls, avoid some dodgy-looking thugs, collect power-ups, and pull off insane rooftop-to-rooftop stunts' to get on-stage before his set starts. It appears to be suitably retro -- see for yourself in the video we've included after the breakdance.

hi everybody
just registered and put on my todo list
hopefully this is just what im looking for looks like i have a lot to read.
The first online casinos opened 10 years ago, and now there are hundreds that can be found online. Estimates vary as to the number of people who gamble online, but recent estimates suggest that a figure of around seven million worldwide would not be too far out. Taking that into account, and with a further estimate of more than $12 billion spent in online casinos alone (not including physical land-based casinos), offers of free casino chips may understandably be seen as something of a drop in the ocean.
Now with a low enough play though requirement and a casino game that's not rigged more than the house advantage you may just make the play through requirement and keep the bonus that's left over. One example is baccarat which has one of the best player advantages. Good luck on your online casino adventures!

Beginner's Route to Online Casinos
The online casinos are a great source of entertainment and fun. That said, there are a number of things you should take into consideration before playing. Choosing the right casino should be your first step in your quest for a great gaming experience online. As such, choosing the right casino will lead you to have a lot of fun and also win at the same time. If you find yourself with a pathetic online casino, you are bound to run into a lot of problems with poor graphics low-wage outs.
1. You need to go on a vacation if you want to play in the regular brick-n-mortar casinos. That will cost a good amount of money and take away a whole lot of your quality time. Then, your family may want to tag along, as they too don't want to miss out on the action. So, in the end you will end up paying for airfares, hotel rooms, car rentals, food, shopping and hanging around. When you actually get to the casino, you will find that there's very little money left to spend on the casino games, which is the reason why you went there in the first place! However, online casinos spare you the trouble of traveling and wasting money on riff-raffs. Plus they save you a whole lot of time as you can play in the comfort of your home at a time of your own convenience and at your own pace plus within your own budget too.
