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 [...]
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 [...]
Turn up your radio!
Had a dream about this absolute classic song last night. Don’t know why. But who cares – it’s made me reconnect with this fabtastic song from Australian group Masters Apprentices. I can’t hear this song without wanting to jump up and start dancing as if I’m a 60s go-go dancer! Oh, and dig that crazy [...]
Vodafail The Musical
I have become obsessed with this clip. Maybe because I am a 3 customer and have been living the problems being sent up in the video. Maybe it’s because Lady GaGa’s “Telephone” is so damn catchy. Or maybe it’s just because the guy in the clip is so f*****g hot! This is really inspired stuff. [...]
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 [...]
