The Determined Dilettante on classic Swedish jazz artist Jan Johansson and the album "Jazz på Svenska": http://determineddilettante.blogspot.com/2007/10/fall-has-arrived.html
If you haven't heard this yet, you are definitely missing out. Also posted over there, a bit on Britney Spear's latest album "Blackout" which boasts an impessive roster of Swedish production credits. From the few tracks I've heard so far and considering the vocal (over-)production, I'd agree that it's barely even a Britney album at all. For better too, I'd say.
