The Best (Charmingest) Swedish Song of the Year (plus something new from Pinto, and a remix of Marit Bergman by Monster Bobby)

Shit! How do you say that in Swedish? Busy, busy, busy, and things are falling through the virtual cracks. Here’s an update with more reader recommendations. Goddamn I think I like this new format.

Erik Hallden has listened to a ton of British pop. I hear so much of Jazz Butcher that it’s uncanny. Erik’s new song “If I Ever Get Married” somehow name drops John Cale, Lou Reed and Harry Bellefonte (somehow rhyming Bellefonte with Del Monte and John Cale with cocktail). I haven’t heard a better indie pop song all year, how `bout you? RIYL Pelle Carlberg, Jonathan Richman, Jens Lekman and/or even The Smiths.

Pinto sent over his new song and it’s a lovely spinoff of “Little Drummer Boy” called “Restless Heart”.

  • How do you say what in swedish? The title? "Årets bästa (charmigaste) sång (plus nånting nytt från Pinto, och en remix på Marit Bergman från Monster Bobby)" Try Google Translate, it's okey actually... Btw, I like your blog!
