I freakin love Swedish people

Saw The Sounds last night at House of Blues in Boston (across the street from Fenway; you are literally looking into Fenway when you step out of the club). Their music is mostly pretty good, a couple better, a couple worse. But definitely exciting and enthusiastic.

I freakin love Swedish people. I want to look like them and play music like them and be with them.

Some Are Lakes by Land of Talk

Jenny Lewis on Craig Ferguson

You can skip the useless first thirty seconds.

Multiple tags radio

Finally, last.fm allows me to listen to a radio station consisting of multiple tags (though there’s a maximum of three for some reason). Now I can listen to “Swedish indie rock with female vocalists” radio.

Nina live!

Nina sings! She has the voice of an angel:

It’s kind of shaky, ’cause I couldn’t figure out the least awkward place to hold my camera, being in the front row and all. It turns out that using a camera is awkward no matter what. Oh well.

I’ve been dying to see Nina Persson with The Cardigans for about five or six years. But they’re not really together anymore, so I had to settle for her solo project, A Camp, in which she is accompanied by Niclas Frisk on guitar and her husband, Nathan Larson (the dude with the black hair and goatee), on bass guitar. Nothing like a rocking band with a female vocalist to melt your face and your heart, respectively. I was really proud of myself for thinking of that.

This concert was excellent. The music was superb, and Nina possesses an intense vocal beauty. Plus I was in the front row. Plus I got a cool t-shirt. PLUS I got my ticket signed. Awesome.

Revelation about lasy singers in indie rock: they wear weird clothes.

You know that feeling

You know that feeling you get when you’re about to perform or speak in public or something?

That’s the feeling I get when I think of going to see Nina Persson with A Camp IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS!!!

Long Black Dress (Run Devil Run)

Jenny Lewis live (turn up your volume all the way–it’s short but worth it): Long Black Dress (Run Devil Run)

Oh my god

“Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god. Yes.”

That’s what I said to myself when I found those tickets for sale.

Screw finals. I’m going to spend my entire final term attending concerts by beautiful lady singers.
