my own private airwaves day 1 & 2

another iceland airwaves i'll miss but frankly i'm not too upset - the lineup doesn't strike me as super-exciting.  at any rate these are some of the substitution i'd make for my own private airwaves....

• autodrone - what is this? faux-post-punk?  ok, people have tried this before. pair a capable rock band with a poppy singer. it doesn't work. think garbage. sleigh bells is my substitution.  yeah, they are kinda crap but at least you can imagine dancing to their music.
• moderat - not bad bud kinda boring.  like depeche mode stripped of its charm.  gui borato plays at my airwaves.
• efterklang - danish sigur ros clones?  not bad actually.  i let them play but only to avoid having to let sigur ros play.
• harrys gym - at best they sound like a second rate blonde redhead.  when they don't, they sound like crap.  so i get the first rate blonde redhead
• oh no ono - excellent. never thought that the band i was most interested to see at airwaves would be danish.  
• jaakko & jay - the proclaimers? they don't get to play and i opt for replacing them with 35 minutes of silence.
• dominque young unique - too fun and too cute to let go.  
• polipe - a lot of potential here so they get to stay.
• ramadanman - a little dull isn't it? aren't there dozen artists or so on hyperdub that do this better? i pick kode9
