Sweden may be a country few that read this blog truly know about and I am one of you...What I do know is that their music is as inventive and diverse as anywhere on the planet! From ABBA's POP to the classical METAL of Yngwie Malsteem, I had relegated Swedish culture to the freezer to be thawed out and devoured at a later date. That later date hath arrived! Now, you can't go anywhere without seeing someone reading the "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" by Stieg Larrson. It's the land that brought the world Ingmar Bergman, Bjorn Borg and one of my favorite Muppets, "The Swedish Chef". So like the great salmon the Swedes are known for, swim up the mainstream toward the Midnight Sun! The videos below serve as supplemental material to the "What Duvet Said...About Music" Issue 8: "The Cure For Stockholm Syndrome? Less ABBA: Duvet Looks at the Music of Sweden in This SUPER-SIZED Edition!".
