Desire Avenue

Hi!
I haven't been on here for a good while, so I came across the Freddie Wadling record in a pretty serendipitous way. I was doing an art residency in Norway for two months and watched a Swedish documentary about island youth building easter bonfires which was narrated by Freddie Wadling. Just ...

Has anyone heard US singer Peter Broderick's cover of 'Get on With Your Life' featured on his new album? I can't say I'm a big fan of his, but I came across this cover last week and it's getting great reviews as a stand out track on his album. Apparently he had never heard about Stina until his ...

Haha yeah all the bidders seem to get rounded up in this thread, should've guessed you're all on this message board! ;)
To me it's an "insane amount" given how much I'd be able to afford, but I get how incredibly rare the item is, so in that context I see how it's maybe not that much and how it's ...

Haha it was you!
Congratulations, great find!
It was more wishful thinking on my part that I'd get it for the starting price
Enjoy!

I saw something incredibly rare on Swedish auction site Tradera a couple of days ago:

Stina Nordenstam "Dynamite 2 Desire" Book. Not only was it only released in 100 copies back in 2006 together with the album Dynamite, but this copy was also signed by Stina. The starting bid was 119 Kr (about 20 ...

I don't think it should take that long to arrive now once it's been released. It was the pressing and release itself that kept getting delayed, so hopefully you'll have your album soon

My copy arrived yesterday (would've arrived on the 24th also if it hadn't been sent on a detour to the mail centre due to not fitting into the letterbox)
Anyway, I'm very pleased with it and it's no 33 so we all probably ordered ours around the same time ;)

Do you also have 'And She Closed Her ...

I just ordered my copy too! I saw someone post a pic of this vinyl on Instagram and I went; wait a minute, I was certain that album was never released on vinyl. Did some more research and learnt about the reissue. I have Memories of a Colour on original vinyl as well as Dynamite 12" single and ...

I also managed to bag myself a Kate Bush ticket for September after what was possible the most stressful moments of my life!!
I'm a huge Kate Bush fan, collect her records and singles and it's only starting to sink in that I'll be seeing her live in 6 months time! Absolutely Mind Boggling!! :D :D ...

Thanks so much for sharing these, really great to see her at this point in her life. And I agree with the rest of you, she looks incredibly confident and really displays the range and ability of her voice :)

However, maybe the confidence has something to do with her 'playing the role' of a 1940's ...

Also, she says she's got computer-phobia and finds them scary the way people can do things at the same time. Don't think we'll see her online anytime soon then ;)

You can hear a short extract from the sound piece at 00:51min, it's instrumental, slightly abstract sounds.

You can hear a tapping ...

I'm just listening now, as I'm Swedish.
It's a very interesting interview, especially since I'm also an artist. I have been to the Magasin 3 arts centre before, really interesting place, and I would've loved to go to this but I don't live in Sweden and wont be back there till Christmas. Interesting ...

I suppose it all depends on what circles you move in... Amongst my old school friends in Sweden very few know of Stina Nordenstam, apart from maybe that the name sounds familiar, except for one girl who was the one who introduced me to her stuff in the first place.
On the other hand most of my ...

I'm sorry to say that I don't like it either..
I heard some of her previous stuff on youtube a while back, but I just don't like her voice for some reason, it's too earnest or something...
And whatever double tracking she's doing on the vocals just sounds too home-made and out of sync/tune for me ...

Thanks for the update on what's actually known, I had no idea about the fall or the fact that a follow up was underway but abandoned...
It's weird when you think about it, that we don't even know for sure whether she's got kids, I'm not even sure I'd even recognize her if she passed me in the street ...
