35/13 - I Need A Drink of Cool Cool Rain

Just back in Glasgow, but this list is dedicated to Sweden, my Shangri-La:


bob hund - Dansa Efter Min Pipa

Words cannot describe how much I love this band. They've picked me up and put me right since my teenage years. The perfect blend of pop and politics, anger and joy, experimentalism and rock, humour and heart.



Ulrich Schnauss - As If You've Never Been Away

I walk into Gothenburg and pick up where I left off last time. It's as if I've never been away. My ongoing tale of two cities.


Bob Dylan - Time Passes Slowly

This whole lyric
Time passes slowly up here in the mountains
We sit beside bridges and walk beside fountains
Catch the wild fishes that float through the stream
Time passes slowly when you’re lost in a dream

Once I had a sweetheart, she was fine and good-lookin’
We sat in her kitchen while her mama was cookin’
Stared out the window to the stars high above
Time passes slowly when you’re searchin’ for love

Ain’t no reason to go in a wagon to town
Ain’t no reason to go to the fair
Ain’t no reason to go up, ain’t no reason to go down
Ain’t no reason to go anywhere

Time passes slowly up here in the daylight
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
Like the red rose of summer that blooms in the day
Time passes slowly and fades away

I can take it for two weeks, but then I feel I gotta bustle again.


Kjell Höglund - Myten om Shangri-La

Don't think there's any point in trying to explain this. Those who understand why it's great, do. Those who just think it's cheesy and silly are right on some level too I guess.


The Who - Love Reign O'er Me

Come on now, love. Come on.
Think I'm gonna watch Quadrophenia during my nightshift at the hotel tonight.


Two nice pre-taste music videos to weigh up the male dominance on this week's list:
