The Swedish Club Music legend Christian Falk has passed away due to cancer, just 52 years of age.
For those that haven’t heard his great music, you’ll find a link to one of his albums – Quel Bordel here. Christian Falk has been a frequent topic on this blog. Both as a musician in the Swedish group Blacknuss Allstars, as well as for his great club music such as this song.

Feel-Good song with some more thoughtful lyrics.
My favorite “track discovery” from last year is Frank Oceans “Strawberry Swing”, a version of Coldplay’s track with the same name. I totally love Coldplay, but I think that Frank Ocean’s version is absolutely amazing! What an awesome track!
Another track from the same album, is a “semi-cover” of Eagles song Hotel California, named “American Wedding”. A great track with those great lyrics that Frank Ocean always delivers.

I’m actually a little bit ashamed. Sometimes good things are too close to recognize.
During my late upbringing in Piteå there was a band called Merrymakers; a band that made it to the international scene. But sometimes it’s strange, people that you went to school with; can they really be top class material? Yes, they can.
In my case, I totally missed out on their awesome music, which is actually even more strange since I totally loved Jellyfish and ABBA, and I think there are so many influences from both of them here.
So, if you want to have a taste, and don’t want to make the same mistake as I did, check them out.
Young Erik Wild became third in Swedish Idol, but as always those leaving the contest a little earlier have the possibility to start their carrier faster. This is his first single, and I really like the sound. I’ll guess we will hear a lot from this guy in the future.
Great play!
Hurricane Love may be next big “Gotye”. A group of high-class musicians/vocalists, that sounds almost as good in acoustic versions as in studio (both versions attached). The track in itself has a high hit potential!
Don’t miss the acoustic version!
Soft start of the week. A great track from Laleh’s previous album “Sjung”.
Sorry for the poor update during the last week. I’ve been abroad on a trip with internet access 30 minutes per day.
Hope you all out there are okay. Best wishes for the weekend.
Rainy Tuesday; perfect weather for hard work, with some soft working music in the background. Best wishes for this November Tuesday.
