Sweden!

Here's a new playlist of some - all right, most - of my favourite Swedish songs from seven years of this blog. I've put together similar ones on Spotify in the past but, taking a leaf out of Xanthi's book, I've now switched to 8 tracks. Whereas with Spotify you're limited slightly by the fact that i) you can only use tracks that are available in Spotify's own library, and ii) not everyone has a Spotify account - with 8 tracks you can include any track on your computer in your playlist. Infinitely preferable.

Anyway, boring waffle over. Hope you like the mix. I can't say it's a definitive list of favourites as I forgot to include any Jens Lekman, for starters; or the 'Puck' version of Carnival by the Cardigans; or any of The Sweptaways' Christmas singles. But it's close!

Songs for Girls said...

thanks for the mention! remember when you were posting spotify playlists and i couldn't play them cos it hadn't been available in Greece? it was so frustrating. i like to use both these days, depending on how many artists i can find on spotify. there are so many favourites on this mix! there's no Girlfriendo though :p maybe next time!

Ahh, Girlfrendo - there's another one! Yes, the fact that Spotify was only available in certain countries for a while didn't help either. Whichever way you look at it, 8 Tracks is an improvement!

Bloody hell! I came to comment with the sole purpose of mentioning Girlfrendo! I never knew I was part of a hive mind.

Ace mix, though!

Kippers said...

I will clearly have to do a Girlfrendo mix one of these days! ;)

Let me tell you about Sweden: only country where the clouds are interesting.
