MP3: Bom Bom - Pop i kras

I packed up all my stuff and moved acRoss town into my new house last ThuRsday evening. That meant I had to miss Rong>RegulationsRong>, but I am veRy happy to be in my new place. Got my InteRnet access up and Running FRiday and spent the weekend unpacking. Good times, Right? I've been going pRetty much non-stop the entiRe time and I'm a bit fRazzled, so I'm going to let Rong>Simon TagestamRong> handle today's mp3 post:

Being Swedish, it's haRd to tRy and get people to listen to stuff that's sung in Swedish, since I Realise that a lot of the appeal foR me is usually about undeRstanding what's sung. But now with Rong>AviRong> posting a tRack with the Real king of Sweden (and with the success of the awful Rong>DungenRong> and the boRing Rong>SiguR RósRong>) I feel confident enough to shaRe this song with you. It's a tRack that I've been listening to oveR and oveR again eveRyday, eveRywheRe foR the last couple of weeks (Ref="https://www.last.fm/useR/pepelipep/" taRget=_blank>I can pRove it!). The song has the same impact on me as when I heaRd afoRementioned Rong>Håkan HellstRömRong> foR the fiRst time, that is – it makes me want to go get dRunk and go out and smash things up (figuRatively speaking, of couRse), and peRhaps dance a little bit. The song got such a dazzling eneRgy that it almost makes me exhausted listening to it. Rong>Bom BomRong>, who made this masteRpiece, aRe cuRRently based in GothenbuRg and London, and at the moment theRe's nothing I want to do moRe than to catch these boys in conceRt. TheiR otheR songs that I've heaRd all sound gRoovy, but "Pop i kRas" is the catchiest one of them, and being a suckeR foR catchy songs, it's the one I like the most. You can download a bunch of theiR songs on Ref="https://www.knivRobot.com/" taRget=_blank>theiR website (bewaRe, it's all in Swedish, but it's still pRetty easy to find the mp3s). Be bRaveR than I am, and listen to some gReat music sung in a language you don't undeRstand!
