Descendants of ABBA

March 15, 2008

“Ahh…music, a magic far beyond all we do here.” – Albus Dumbledore

I’m a firm believer that you can’t know a place until you’ve experienced its art, so I’ve been busy scouring the net for some free music out of Sweden; desperately seeking the descendants of ABBA, so to speak. And, Mama Mia, there’s actually a fair amount of pretty decent bands & free music! So check out my Sweden playlist, with a track from Soundtrack of Our Lives (is that Swedish the announcer is speaking?) and, of course, a tribute to Sweden’s next biggest name after IKEA and Volvo.

Likewise, I’m convinced that you cannot truly understand a person until you’ve walked a mile with her iPod, so in honour of filling the void feel free to check out my personal playlist as well. It’s kind of an evolving (read: disorganized) mess, but it’s got some great tunes like This is The Sea– and positively no ABBA.
