Here's the video for the new Rigas single "Born not to run": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQuIl6BBYpI
Rigas told me that he considers the Bruce Springsteen original "Born to run" to be the best song ever.
One of the best things about the Swedish festival scene is all the unexpected friendly faces you run into. Not only did I get a chance to hook up with a ton of bands, label/industry reps, and fellow journalists/bloggers, but I also ran into Henrik von Euler aka Rigas/Rigas den Andre, someone who I had no clue would be there. Apparently he was there supporting friend/associate/bandmate Parken, one of the acts I missed due to my delayed arrival. But! Someone was kind enough to point him out to me and introduce us, thank god because there's no way I would've recognized him by his Skitsystem hoodie. As for Parken, he was nice enough but he also spilled half a beer in my lap so fuck him! Who cares if his latest single is something of an indie-dance hit, I'm all about the skweee instead.
Surprisingly, that was the only party foul I was personally involved in outside of losing my copy of the apartment key the very first day of the fest. And honestly, it really wasn't that bad- I just like to complain. As for other fest casualties, well let's just say that there were plenty, I'm just glad it wasn't me.
As for the ongoing Swedish tour, today (Monday) is my last real day in Stockholm and then it's off to Malmö!
Rigas den Andre - I am crane
