My Swede Tooth

I like Sweden. I’ve been there before. Good things come from Sweden. Ikea. Bjorn Borg. H&M. Ingrid Bergman. Swedish Fish. Volvo. Now the best thing to come from Sweden is music. From Jose Gonzalez (yes, he is Swedish) to the Field, Swedish tunes are rocking my world. Sweden is arguably putting out the best musicians right now and last night’s show did nothing to disprove my theory.

Peter, Bjorn, and John review. PBJ had me up against the wall for the entire concert. If it hadn’t been for the beer I drank, I probably wouldn’t have slept due to the fact that my adrenaline levels were spiking and even now they’re high. What’s more is that I didn’t expect PBJ to rock so much. Listening to their albums always puts me in a good mood but never enough to get me excited like I was last night. I just didn’t want the show to end. I’m almost embarrassed to say this but I liked the show better than TV on the Radio.

If you have the chance to see them, go. If you’ve never heard their music, start listening.

What about ABBA? They are Sweedish? Do you like them as well? Do you rock out to "Dancing Queen"?
