Hello gang! It's been a long time since I posted anything on here. The plan is to still spread the word on Stina Nordenstam.

I am creating illustrations that celebrate her music videos. Hopefully these can be in a book that's seen in a book store. That's the dream anyway!

I hope you enjoy these ...

Cool! Really good idea for you to meet up! What happened! Did ya all get on famously! Who's who? or should I guess?

Just to let you know that as radio presenter of a station called Hospital Radio Barnet, I will be attempting to play some Stina Nordenstam on my film show. Every week I play songs from movies and each week has a particular theme. One week I will be doing music from Shakespeare-adaptations and that's ...

Ah well, there's been a guy on the BBC sports team who has occasionally thrown in Stina edits over the years into unlikely spots like Football Focus. RobB might remember his name, he used to post on the old forum.
I bet it was him.
Thinks-was his username BBCMan?? :mrgreen: (original)

What a ...

After the boring Uruguay-France World Cup coverage on the BBC, I needed something to wake me up and then comes a piece about USA's last win against England and what did they use as background music? The beginning of "Murder In Maryland Park", the percussion part before Stina sings. Ofcourse as a ...

Don't forget that Michel Gondry (Bjork, Radiohead, White Stripes) directed the video for "Little Star", so she was contact with the most prolific music video director of our generation. From that she must have got to known quite a few people.

When curious researchers/lovers of music want to know ...

It's irritating that critics and popular music industries ignore her.

Although she isn't completely forgotten by fellow musicians.

If you look at Myspace pages of so many quirky artists like Regina Spektor, they state that Stina is an influence. I'd say she is one of the most frequently name ...

6 Music is listened to by a million listeners on average, however that may refer to the drive time and morning shows when it's at it's peak, unfortunately Stina was played on Gideon Coe's night show at around 10pm, so less listeners.

Just the idea of her music being broadcasted excited me, even if ...

It's 1:37 in. Just incase you plan to stream it.

I've been away for a while but I have news, it might be minor but any news regarding Stina's music should be highlighted and considered.

Her music is still alive and being remembered thanks to Gideon Coe.

Last Monday he hosted a show on BBC digital radio channel 6 Music about music from mainland ...

I really didn't like that version although I'm not a big fan of A'Capella anyway.

The guy who sings "I'm searching for a colour, don't think it's got a name" part really can't sing
