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.

The prodigal son returns

I have returned from Sweden. It was awesome. Pictures will come this weekend, hopefully.

Holiday

I will be far north of the Arctic Circle in Sweden from now until I return late at night on the fifth of November.

More beautiful, singing ladies

Following from a previous post concerning beautiful ladies with wonderful voices, I thought I would post a couple videos featuring another of my favorite lady singers (and yes I’ve stolen Tommy’s habit of calling females “ladies”).

This lady is Nina Persson, lead singer of The Cardigans, a very Swedish band. By the way, Swedish equals beautiful. The Cardigans are like this:

Oddly enough, it is very difficult to find a video of the Cardigans live that doesn’t look like it was shot by a retarded monkey.

Here’s a couple of interesting videos of Nina Persson solo. This first one is a pretty faithful cover of Whole Lotta Love, with Led Zeppelin just chilling out in the front row.

And this one is even weirder, an arrangement of Desafinado on some MTV program.
