Song for a sunny Sunday morning

It’s a bright, sunny Sunday morning out there and I have just the song to get me in the mood to get up and get out and enjoy the day… Le Kid were one of the entries in this year’s Melodifestivalen that immediately struck a cord with me. Happy, fun pop that was full of [...]

ABBA DRUNKS

I can only say it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person. Of course not so nice that son Ludwig was turned into a drunk as well. Ah well, since they have billions of dollars it won’t be a problem.

Stockholm Tonight

If you’re ever planning to visit Stockholm, you must go during the summer. The city is more beautiful than you could imagine and the citizens come to life for just a few short months each year. In fact, everyone goes just a little crazy because they know they only have this short time to fully [...]

Zekes – Vi Lyfter Igen

Zekes… a bit of Swedish alright! In 2010 I was at Stockholm Pride and walked past the smaller of the two concert stages in the park (as I did many times over the fours days). On the smaller stage, a lot of individual and dansband performances were held – acts not quite big enough to justify [...]

My name is Lena Philipsson

If you can imagine two Australian Gay men walking around Stockholm – separately and together – randomly saying “Mitt namn är Lena Philipsson”….well, you have James and myself  in Sweden two weeks ago. We’d been at GoldenHits bar/club the night before for their mega-schlager night and someone requested this song – “Lena Anthem”. James immediately [...]

Magnus Carlsson at GoldenHits in Stockholm

There’s a place in Stockholm called “GoldenHits” and upstairs it has a bar/club area entirely devoted to schlager. An entire bar devoted to Swedish Schlager music. I discovered this with the eclectic James O’Brien a couple of weeks ago when we were in Sweden. To say we had the night of our lives is an [...]

The sensational Danny!

On my recent trip to Stockholm Pride, I got to meet the amazing, gorgeous and incredibly talented Danny! Swedish Uber-spunk Danny Saucedo was simply hanging around the bar near the XL Lounge area after Saturday night’s final Pride concert. He was happy to talk with fans and pose for pictures. No attitude, just very relaxed [...]

Saade Volume 1 – now he’s 100% white!

This is the cover of Eric Saade’s new album “Saade Vol. 1″ and it seems he’s now whiter than white! I always thought Eric’s mixed race heritage made him the sexy stud he is but perhaps a little too much Swedish racism got to him and now he’s faded out a bit He’s always loved [...]

Israel sends up Eric’s “Popular”!

..and it’s all done in the best POSSIBLE taste of course! I just saw this for the first time and it’s a hoot…especially the “shattered glass” bit. From Youtube “A loving comic tribute to our favorite Eurovision 2011 entry, Sweden’s ‘Popular’ by Eric Saade. Shot April 2011 at the beach in Tel Aviv by a [...]

Eric Saade / Saade Vol 1

Okay, so CDon.se says this isn’t the actual cover for Eric Saade’s forthcoming album, “Saade Vol. 1″…but would it kill me if it was? No! I think it looks fabulous. Simple, direct and it highights one of Eric’s most important assets – his amazing face. But check out this pic…..if this one doesn’t float your [...]
