The best concert experience of my life was when I last weekend watched jensa Lekman in Stockholm. This weelend he will perform in Gothenburg at the excellent Way out west festival. If you get the chance to see him, don´t hesitate to go there. As far as I know, this is the end of his current tour, but I hope for your sake - if you havent seen him - he tours again.
I also recommend to listen to The Blow who opened for Lekman.

Popaganda with Belle and Sebastian
Just recently got my ticket in the mail-box for this year´s Popaganda festival in Stockholm. This year will feature legendary Belle and Sebastian (which I of course especially look forward to), Hot Chip, Shout out louds, Jonathan Johansson, The Concretes and many moore. It will be held at the 27th to 28th August, at Eriksdalsbadet, an area normally reserved for swimmers, so there are a few pools just next to the concerts.

There is a light that... goes out?
Sadly, this is the last time. A couple of days in August will be the last chance to go to "Sing-along at Debaser" ("Allsång på Debaser") in Stockholm. Magnus Carlsson, the singer from Weeping Willows, has during the 2000s entertained Stockholm where the crowd sings along as he performs covers of indie classics such as Pulp´s "Common people", Joy Divisions "Love will tear us apart". Especially I will miss his cover of The Smiths "There is a light that never goes out" which always begins and ends the shows. If you are in Stockholm in August, you MUST go there. It is an experience out of the ordinary and you simply have to go if you haven´t been there. TRUST ME.

The Swedish model
These two clips may be a bit old old, but they are still relevant: Part 1, part 2. And very funny. As Barack Obama tries to push for reforms in the Us, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart makes fun of the ridiciliuos arguments from critics claiming USA is turning into a "Socialist Sweden"...
Historically the Swedish system has been referred to as "The Swedish model", which is also the name of this great organisation consisting of six Swedish independent record labels. Their aim is to create a reasonable debate about the future for music and the music industry, for example considering file-sharing. I get the feeling they want to close the gap between producers and consumers and reach an understanding between them. The answer is not to sue people who download music illegally, but try to figure out how industry and consumers can adjust to the new times that is already a fact. Visit The Swedish model web site and embrace their ideas and download some of their music for free: Perfectly legal!
