ABBA MY AR$E! SWEDEN: A PLAYLIST
February 08, 2010,
Written by Euan Mackay
The second in a series of location based playlists takes us from Scotland across the North Sea to Sweden.
Sweden is renowned for having a ridiculously attractive population, giving the world (semi-stylish) flat pack furniture, and boxy but safe cars in the shape of Volvos. That much, I think is agreed. What has been more a bone of contention was their musical exports... Until relatively recently the Swedish musical outgoings were pretty dubious to say the least. ABBA, Ace of Base and Roxette... hmm... Of course things picked up in the 90s with The Cardigans, The Hives and Soundtrack of Our Lives hitting the airwaves.
Since then the Swedish music scene has gone from strength to strength...
Below is a playlist of 25 tracks from new(ish) Swedish artists for you to enjoy.
What have I missed out on?
Like it? Then download a copy of it for yourself right here. (Beware, it's a pretty huge file).

Hey there :) Just wondered, did you take the pictures yourself? Its just im currently completing my Final Major Project for my publishing course and im making a music magazine. Having a massive problem with copywrite :/ If you did take the pictures would i be able to use the ones of pulled apart by horses? because they are the best ive found :P they really capture how mental they are. You would be a MASSIVE help. Id put your name on the pictures and if you want i can sent you the mag when its done so you can put it in a portfolio or summat? Would be a MASSIVE help :) If your interested could you email me on only-inhuman@hotmail.com Cheers :) [view article]

Its shorter than the others by literally like 3 minutes. Its hard to hit a half hour dead one, its always gonna be either just under or over that, but were working on it. I can't take all the credit. Jack did a superb job in editing the show and obviously Rob and Jerm did a fantastic job with their segments. Hopefully Jeremiah will continue to do segs for the show. He did a great job on his first attempt. [view article]
