Flipper: Summer chat with Nina Natri and Louise Weibull from the pop
group Fidget
Swedish National Radio - channel P3 on saturday July 12th, at 17.05
(also broadcasted on sunday at 22.10)
Flipper continues with their own summer hosts and hostesses during
the show's second hour (after the 6 o'clock news).

They both play in the pop group Fidget who has been (and still are)
our favourites for a long time.

Subject: Going to Sweden and coming back...
So I come back from my journey to the homeland and what do I find? Lots of
messages apparently in reply to the one I posted asking for suggestions of
swedish music. Though it was a let down to find out it was all the same
message by the same guy, I'd like to just thank everyone who DID give me
their suggestions before I left. Special tip of the hat goes to Michael
Rehnstrom for pointing me in the direction of Liberator and the Dorian
records comp "A chance to shine".
Besides giving me a chance to finally hear more than 15 second .wav
files from Aquadays (who, imho are completely brilliant, at least based on
"June") it gave me a chance to really hear how much good indiepop there is
in sweden. I played the CD for my girlfriend (a non-Swede) and she was
duly impressed by the ammount of talent a country that small seems to have
for writing great pop songs. God I feel a surge of nationalism coming on
(though from what I gather that's a bad thing in sweden nowadays...).
I was a little bit dissapointed by Fidget though, who seemed to
have a lot of potential but whose songs just somehow didn't click. I
convinced my sister to buy their CD so I could listen to it for free : ).
Other major discovery while I was there (courtesy of a very helpfull
employee at Musikorat in Uppsala) was Loosegoats whose
Sebadoh-circa-bakesale-with-their-own-unique-thing-going-on-ness was a
happy surprise. I'm having serious problems keeping myself from playing
their CD "for sale by owner". Just brillyunt...
One last ramble: on the punk side of things, the new Randy CD "The
rest is silence..." is one of the most amazingly well-crafted punk records
I've heard from any country. The tunes are melodic as hell, full of great
dynamic and tempo changes and have a bad tendency to get stuck in your
head. The lyrics are very political but in a way that can laugh at it self
(as opposed to like, earth crisis). Not to mention which, there's a cover
of Lita Fords "Kiss me deadly" which has to be heard... One of the best
punk albums of the year, easily...
So that's about that for my unsolicited opinions. I'd love to hear any one
else's opinion on any of these bands. So thanks again for the help and,
um, yeah.

Nice to hear I was pointing in the right direction. You shouldn't always
trust me when pointing out directions, I am known to enter the wrong
apartments and sometimes even the wrong buildings when I am about to visit
people ;-)

I haven't listened to the album yet but the songs I have heard with them
are very good (in my very humble opinion, of course). Finally a swedish
"copy" which is better than most of the foreign "originals". Their ep
"Country crock" was one of the best swedish records last year, if you ask
me. I do not know whether it is true but I have heard rumours that one of
the members of Archers Of Loaf wore a Loosegoats T-shirt when AOL toured in
Sweden recently.

Subject: Doris Days
I also feel a strong need to tell you about the four-track (two songs, two
versions each) CD "Quiet withdrawal" from Stockholm-based band Doris Days.
The reason is that this is one of the best swedish singles I have heard for
a very long time.
The title track, especially, is great. A half-acoustic guitar sound mixed
with a cool trip-hop rhythm and a beautiful, female, voice. This is cooler
than ever Portishead, even cooler than Massive Attack (the previous five
words are some of the strongest I could come up with). The second song "To
Ulrike M" is softer, even more suggestive, and without guitars. It doesn't
reach the same heights as "Quiet withdrawal" but passes the "OK" limit
without any problems. As I said, a brilliant CD-single. Just put it in the
stereo, close your eyes and float away with the rhythm.
Is there anyone who has listened to their debut album "Live in Poland". If
it is as good, as this single, I should have a discussion with my
accountant on whether I should make an investment.

Personally, I haven't had time to listen to it thoroughly yet. But I

And I second that opinion - with my whole heart. But don't forget to mention
that they are originally from __Linkoping__ (!) News about the band and
their forthcoming album is on the way (yes yes - I'm working on the Selected
News as hard as I can! Honest!)

Sure has, and it sure is worth every penny. There are songs on the album
that blows even "Quiet Withdrawal" away, and that says a lot. Hopefully
we'll see another great band from Estonia, who are in this field, releasing
something here in Sweden soon as well. And if you like Doris Days, you're
going to *love* them. (and as usual: more in the upcoming Selected News..)
But until then, Doris Days gets my highest personal recommendations.
P.S. Any luck contacting Coach Bob by the way? - You're welcome. D.S.

On Lollipops webpages their is a list with the bands who are going to play

Subject: Koop review
Another splendid, swedish, CD-single I feel I have to tell you about. It is
bands like Koop that make the art of making music really interesting to
follow during the 1990s. Two guys, living in Uppsala, with a complete lack
of respect for all these borders, created by narrow-minded people, between
musical styles. Before I heard Koop people told me that they played techno.
And Their single "Glomd" (="Forgotten"), released on label Superstudio Gra,
is techno. And it is jazz. And folk music. And classical music. And poetry.
And totally amazing...
Both tracks - "Glomd" and "Jellyfishes" are very dreamish and suggestive.
The title track contains techno beats mixed with samples from a symphony by
Kalevi Aho and extracts from the poem "Glomd ar skogens gud" by Rut
Hillarp. It is beautiful and it sounds very "nordic" (no, there are no
samples with idiots shouting "Heil Hitler" and waving with swedish flags.
But the samples they use - the classical music and the poem - makes you
think of ancient tales about elves, spirits and other mystical phenomenons
in the deep green forests up north. Hedningarna and Garmarna are the only
bands I can come up with, whose music can create the same feeling, but
these bands don't sound like Koop).
"Jellyfishes" starts like a soft jazz ballad with vocalist Cecilia Stalin
(not a member of Koop) taking a walk on a beach, the waves of the sea are
heard in the background, accompanied by an accordion and a contrabass.
After a while she finds a drum machine and a symphony orchestra (!) on the
beach and decides to stay with them for a while. Poetic, isn't it :-)? And
the music is poetic and beautiful - for ladies and gentlemen who _really_
wants to float in space.
I wrap this up by asking if anyone has listened to their album "Sons of
Koop" and if it is as good as I think it is (my wallet cries at the very
thought) and if anyone has seen the video to "Glomd" - it is directed by
noone else but Stina Nordenstam, I hear?

why you get it :-)
