I admire the ambition RobB. Swedish is hard!

Here is an English friendly site that delivers outside of Sweden. https://www.bengans.eu/

They are well known in Sweden so I think they are a safe choice.

Emma Nordenstam has released a new album of children's songs togetether with Karl-Jonas Winqvist (on the label Brus & knaster). It's called "Huset" ("The House"). I think all of Emma's albums are good, and this one is no exception if you like folky Swedish indie music. But as an added bonus the ...

This is probably old news, but there is also a version of this song by the Swedish group/artist David Sandström Overdrive on his 2005 album "Go Down!" I can't find it on Youtube but it seems to be on Spotify (at least in some countries).

The website (http://smhof.se/konsert/) says that more information about the tribute concerts will be announced soon. That was more than a year ago, so I guess it's another example of us waiting at a Stina related "coming soon"-sign.

Round up the usual suspects! Pretty soon we'll have all the bidders gathered here. :lol:

I'm sorry for taking it right in front of your eyes, even more so after you managed to register at Tradera. It was the first time that I've ever seen one up for sale, and I figured that I'd never get another ...

Thank you! But I Think your description is appropriate - insane amount! I was hoping that I was the only one THAT determined...

And I would do it again if I had the chance!

And then we take a short step from Brett Anderson to David Bowie for another Stina classic...

I think that the Stina Nordenstam-Jonas Åkerlund connection goes back to "Super Cirkör", a "contemporary circus" show directed by Åkerlund in 1998. It was performed by Cirkus Cirkör.

I wasn't able to see the show myself but I read at the time that ...

Great to see it published! Thank you for your help with the conversion. The translation is mostly Google Translate, but I've tried to fix the worst of the Swenglish parts.

My guess is that they recorded the whole series first, before transmission of the first episode. It has that unified feel.

The connection between Egerbladh and Stina during those early years of her career is quite interesting. In the article from Orkesterjournalen that I'm trying to upload she ...

I'd be content if she just sits there in the audience, but a hologram would be nice. :D

Here's a rough translation of what they write on another place on their website:

The Concerts will be performed with the recipients themselves or by other artists as interpretation concerts.


(Off topic... I ...

Yes, it's hard to even imagine how they will solve that. Some of the recipients will perform at their own concerts, but I guess that both Stina and ABBA will say no.

I'll keep watch and report here when more details are revealed.

Something for Swedes and tourists:

The permanent Hall of Fame exhibition is said to open the 20th of March and the chosen artists will be honored with tribute concerts during the year.

Long sea, no time... :D

All three clips are from Jag minns mitt 40-tal, a ten part series broadcast on Swedish television between July and September 1989 and rerun last year. These songs are from episode 7, the only one where Stina was a guest. The host Bernt Egerbladh played with Stina the ...
