Viva Sweden
¡Daros prisa! Sólo durante 7 días podréis escuchar este fidedigno retrato de nuestro país de (temporal) adopción, enfocado, sobre todo, en la música.
Escuchando el reportaje de BBC6 sobre Suecia "Viva Sweden" me he sentido totalmente identificado. Para los que alguna vez me habéis oído hablar del país escandinavo - o mejor dicho de Estocolmo- podréis comprobar que a) no exageraba en absoluto sobre la importancia de las estaciones y la luz y como afectan al día a día, y b) que mi obsesión por su cultura musical no es casualidad.
"Viva Sweden" hace una especial énfasis en Estocolmo. El sólo hecho de oír lugares que pisábamos a menudo, me ha hecho poner la piel de gallina y a la vez me han dado unas ganas tremendas de volver. Sí, me apuntan al corazón, a la música, pero sé también que la mayoría tampoco estaréis y vosotros fuisteis una parte muy importante, sino fue la mejor, de aquella experiencia.
Volviendo al reportaje, sólo una pega: eché de menos alguna referencia a la llamada "West Coast" (The Tough Alliance, Studio, Air France, Jens Lekman, Håkan Hellström...) y algo más de electrónica. No olvidemos The Knife, The Field, Slagsmålsklubben o Drop Out Orchestra también son parte importante del país de las rubias.
Heja Sverige!
Hurry up! Listen to this reliable portrait of our (temporal) adoption country. "Viva Sweden" is only available for 7 days on BBC6. I felt totally identified!
For those you've heard me talking about the Escandinavian country - or rather, Stockholm- you can check out now that a) I wasn't exagerating about how important are the seasons and light and how they affect people's life and b) my obsession for their musical culture isn't just a random thing.
"Viva Sweden" makes a special emphasis in Stockholm. Just hearing the name of those places we used to hang out, I get goose bumps as yet they give me an overwhelming desire to return. Yes, it just aims straight to my heart, music, but I also know that most of you won't be there and you were a very important part, or the best, of that experience.
Returning to the report, only one miss: although Gothemburg is present, there was not a single reference to the "West Coast" leaders Håkan Hellström, The Tough Alliance, Studio, Air France, Jens Lekman... Either electronic acts such as The Knife, The Field, Drop Out Orchestra or Slagsmålsklubben, also an important part on the country of blondes.
Heja Sverige!

Long time no see, you need more updates :D
ResponderEliminarWhat do you think of Tallest man on earth seeing as he hails from Sweden or is it not your thing?
Hey! Definitely! Good to see you here too!
ResponderEliminarThe thing is that there are few releases during December/January and blogs/magazines are more focused on lists so it's always hard to find new stuff.
About The Tallest Man on Earth, some ex-contributors were big fans. I haven't listened to him at all, but I should give him a chance!
