Hi PaulR - I have all three of those films from 1989. If you send me a Private Message here with your email address, I can email them to you.
I'm just going on holiday until 22nd August but I can do it straight after that.

Great to hear from you Angie! Things are pretty quiet round here: I miss the old forum antics!

"Things have been good with me (well, personally anyway, politically... not so much)."
Understatement of the year, if you're in the USA... :cry:

Good to hear all your news (I had a brief career in ...

I don't know but maybe it's a cultural thing and people who choose to drop out of public life are more respected for doing so in Sweden, and left alone.
I agree with you, RobB, it's practically impossible to disappear completely these days. Surveillance, in all its guises, is a huge part of modern ...

I'm sure Blue, the main contributor to this thread, will undoubtedly have bought it, but she hasn't been on here of late (along with most everyone else!)
I was quite shocked hearing Rickie Lee Jones' last album: she sounds like Billie Holiday now, her voice has deepened into tenor range.
If I run ...

Just any NEWS about her, of any kind, would be something!
Let's not forget, she's almost at pensionable age...

There's quite a few more contemporary Stina gigs circa 1989-91, as we know - sadly we don't know the setlists.
'The Miracle' is nothing to do with 'Common Miracle'. It's about a girl in a former century who claimed to be able to fly. In the translation of Stina's between-song comments at the ...

I found this page today - https://www.setlist.fm/setlists/stina-nordenstam-4bd6a356.html

Just a couple of setlists and gigs mentioned including the 'One For My Baby' performance for the opening of parliament with the King of Sweden, but the Mjödner one is new to me. Presumably with The Flippermen ...

Hi RobB, Check this review out:

IoThe Heretic, you might be interested to hear that there's a reasonably active Facebook Stina Nordenstam group too these days, with a few of the old gang lurking thereabouts.

Nice to hear from you, pgss!!
Shame you're in the UK in June - because I'll be Interrailing in Europe! (mostly wild Poland). Otherwise it might have been nice to meet up again...Hope you enjoy the trip, especially York, where I lived for many years. Northumberland is great too, mostly happily free ...

I've not heard of any lawsuit either. If not John Hron, it could perhaps have a connection to the Mary Bell case?

It's made by NathanJay who's made a few 'versions' of Stina songs. Most of them reduce the poetry of her music to something manic with the equivalent of a nail gun adding 'beats' (why do Stina's songs need 'beats'?).
Like nearly every Stina 'remix', they completely miss the point of the song, and ...

Funnily enough, I'm in Norfolk for a couple of days from tomorrow...but Cromer's a bit far from where I'll be.

Beth - Do you mean me regarding piano/tinnitus? If so, the tinnitus/deafness mysteriously disappeared about four months after it started. It was at the height of Covid so that may have ...

Well, 'Eliza', I haven't even BEEN in a tent for about five years (my son 'borrowed' our tent a while back and now considers it his property by some law like possession being 9/10ths etc.)
But I am selling windchimes as ever - as it happens I've just finished making a huge one about half an hour ago ...

Wow! Amazing to see you back, Angie! It must be knocking on 20 years since we were all chattering away on CQD etc.
And how great that these things can bring people together from miles apart, such as you and Beth.
How are your children? My son is 27 now - where does the time go?
