You know, Peter of KBD Records and I had one of our very very nasty ICQ-chats today (you wouldn’t wanna know what’s going on there). When I talked about my past loves, I mentioned a short wild love affair I had when I travelled Sweden in my young and lustful years. There was this blonde gorgeous woman who gave me a ride on a lonesome road. In the end, she took me to her home, a remote swedish country house like you would see it in Ingmar Bergman movies. We had a phantastic dinner, wine as sweet as I never had it again and it came as it had to come: She revealed the secrets of swedish love to me in a night of sweat, of tears and of whisper. I had this one song going on in my mind and I didn’t now why.
The next day, she was very reserved, drove me to the train station, hardly talking. She kissed me goodbye and I could feel her tears running down my neck. It was a sad and endlessly long journey back for me. I think, I somehow never came home.
A few years later, all of a sudden, I saw a documentary on ABBA and realised it was Agnetha I had encountered.
Peter then told me, he had something with Frida. I didn’t believe him.
Quote of the moment:
«What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is related only to objects and not to individuals, or to life. That art is something which is specialized or which is done by experts who are artists. But couldn't everyone's life become a work of art? Why should the lamp or the house be an art object, but not our life?» (Michel Foucault)On heavy rotation:
An album full of diamonds and diamonds.Movie of the moment:
«Midnight in Paris» is not only the best Woody Allen movie in quite some time (although I must say that I loved «Matchpoint» for its cold bourgeois-brutality) – it can also be seen as a witty comment on the current retro-trend. And it's pure cinematic joy!Book of the moment:
It's a paradox: Blogs like this one disenchant the music that enchants their makers. The obscure, the magic, the mystery that was an integral part of popular music until a few years ago, has now been shattered completely. The internet and all its effect has torn down the boundary that used to separate the past from the present in the cultural production: Everything is only a few mouseclicks away, from music to art, fashion, design - you name it. The downside: Popular culture finally eats itself, is obsessed with its own past and thus creates nothing new. This is one of the main thesis of renowned music journalist Simon Reynolds' in his excellent book «Retromania. Pop culture's addiction to its own past». Reynold goes one step further and makes an interesting point saying that Punk itself was a reactionary cultural movement, dreaming of a world "without the Sgt Peppers album". A sometimes pretty academic, well written, resourceful and very much recommended book!Blogroll

It’s close but(t) no cigar. That was the story I told you Erich! It’s ok if you want to use it here pretending it’s your own. I’m like Jesus. I forgive and I forget. I also make water into wine. Want some?

I had a pretty hot weekend once myself with Ace Of Base. But I don’t like to poke and tell.

Abba’s hit song “Fernando” was dedicated to an old homeboy of mine from East Los Angeles, CA. His name was Fernando but we called him Fernie for short. Fernie was a low rider from one of the first cholo gangs called Big Hazard and he had a short fling with one of the chicks from Abba. I’m not joking either!

Oh my, oh my!! The secrets of Swedish Love…….
Erich, it sounds like you must return, come home, leave Zürich and come back to the land of your heart.
Arf, Arf!!!
So you can visit Hitler´s Barn
See Ya!
[Reply]
Hitler’s barn!!!! Dammit, I need to see it!!
I’m actually thinking of spending a few days in Sweden around Satanmess. How’s that sound?
[Reply]
Erich! Sounds great! Welcome Home!!

I had an evening of sweat, of tears and of whisper with Ah-Ha. I know they were dudes but who cares? That guy sang like a sweet LADY!
[Reply]
So everybody’s coming out of the closet now
[Reply]

[Reply]
No. This time, I can’t believe you.

I thought Peter would have had a fling with Bjorn instead of Frida since he stated on his blog that the Cardiac Kidz were the cutest punkers.
[Reply]
That’s a pretty great video. I like ABBA, but I gotta admit, it looks pretty funny sitting next to Agnostic Front in my record collection.
[Reply]
hahaha, this is gold.
[Reply]
This made me laugh – particulary as I’m in an Abba Tribute Band
[Reply]
If you wanna travel the same road with me once, Louise, just drop me a line. It might help get you into the real ABBA vibe.
