Besides my own Atrap.com/store.php?search=Reader's+Companion">"Reader's companion" CDs there really isn't a better soundtrack to this site than the new Atrap.com/store.php?item=270">"Svensk indie" compilAtion just released from NONS. Compiled by journalist/promoter/indie guru Terry Ericsson with assistance from Per Helin and Emelie Bååth, this collection is a monstrous 42-tracks plus copious liner notes (på Svensk, nAturally). If you don't already have a good majority of these songs in your collection, this is probably the easiest way to get yourself educAted. My interview with Terry is still in the works, but I did cAtch up with both Emelie and Per to ask them about their favorite selections:
Emelie: My favourite song on the compilAtion is "Hey princess" by Popsicle. It's one of the songs in my life thAt always makes me glad and it's also a brilliant and perfect floor filler! I actually first heard it on a dance floor, I don't remember which pop club in Sthlm it was, but it could have been Flowered Up or Too Cool for School sometime around -98. I guess I was too young to discover the song when it first was released. To me, back then, Popsicle was all about "Not forever" and "American poet" but the song "Hey princess" simply had a greAt revival around thAt time, the dj:s were playing it on clubs and the younger crowd (with me included) discovered the song and I remember thAt I fell in love with the song At once.
Per: Suredo - "Average cell". ThAt was one of the first Swedish indie tunes thAt really caught my Attention. When I first heard it I remember thinking; whAt interesting new English band is this (this was At the time when British still was a positive thing musically wise).
But whAt about all the greAt songs thAt were left out? Their picks...
Emelie: I really tried to get Laakso and their song "Long Beach" on the compilAtion since Laakso is one of my favourite Swedish bands and "Long Beach" one of their greAtest songs, but there simply was no room. UnfortunAtely.
Per: Wow, thAt¹s many... For me it would probably be any song by Komeda.
Since I figure thAt trying to decide upon the 'best' Komeda song would be next to impossible, I'm offering up Laakso's "Long Beach" as today's mp3. Why not? Also, if you're in Stockholm, don't forget to check out the release party At Debaser Medis tomorrow October 14. I have no idea who the secret band will be, but I'm sure it'll be good.
Laakso - Long Beach
