Kent is very good, as aforementioned, and I would recommend you try listening to Håkan Hellström. It takes a while to get used to his voice, but he has some great pop songs with different folk inspirations (mostly south American). He even released a cover of Fairytale of New York on an album a few years back.

The song Shane MacGowan by Hästpojken is quite fun, but the fact that he can't pronounce MacGowan is bothering me everytime I hear it.

Have to dissagree with you on a few points.

Thåström IS GREAT in all his contallations.

Lars Winnerbäck is pure class, wery good lyrics and all.

Håkan Hellström is PURE SHIT, he cant even sing and the FONY version he did is even worse than the rest of the things he have done, he have destroyed alot of Swedish song of other artists as well.

Hey Scott, if you are interested in Swedish music I would gladly recommend you to have a look at Thåström. Either solo or with one of his previous bands; Imperiet and Ebba Grön. Pure, raw, soulful music without comprimises.

Also Lars Winnerbäck's new album is also pretty good, it's very folky and recorded in Ireland.

Just a tip..

too wide a matter. I asked him to pm me to keep dirty business out of the board. I know how pissing it is to look for a song and not be able to get it. And I can assure you that if the way to get the song is to purchase it, that's what I'd do (provided it isn't charged as an human kidney). I'm not promoting anything, just helpin' a lad out.

Good on ya. You're a good Samaritan.

I really want the mp3 for this tune (and Andas too)--they territory-restricted the album though! Just cause they sing in Swedish doesn't mean you can't enjoy it (like current Kent). If someone from Sweden could buy it for me at the klicktrack shop I could paypal the funds to them...they want all of $2 US dollars for 2 songs. I'm sure SEK isn't the only currency Sweden handles as Westernized as that place is...

Yes, I've tried hiding/changing IP to another area and no luck.

Hola,

I had a struck of Monday night creativity and decided to write a translation for you guys who are fortunate enough not to be Swedish, harr harr.

The title obviously being, "Shane Macgowan!#%"

"
I wake up feeling tired and even a bit drunk. I put a hand on my forehead, and then i realize that, right, someone already did all this before

SHANE MACGOWAN!#%

Victoria I believe that you understand what it is all about, you understand what is good, and the pogues never understod what you two share

SHANE MACGOWAN!#

You were drunk at *Liseberg, and you were drugged up at Henriksberg. I know that your leg isnt working anymore . But I'm still thinking about you!
"

* Liseberg, amusment park and concert hall in Göteborg. Henriksberg is also in Göteborg.. but Im not sure if he says Henriksberg

Don't complain too much about my grammars now because the structure of the sentences in the song are -very- inchorent. Hehehe.. I heard this song on the radio the other night and I kind of like it.. I don't know if it's because it's a bit punky or because it is about Shane. Maybe a bit of both. Cheers guys!

This is a splinter of a popular (and great) Swedish band called Bad Cash Quartet. Gotta love Swedish music! The singer teamed up with another band's member and formed Hastpojken (and the 'Shane' tune), while the drummer went on his own with a much poppier sound as Jonas Game. Ironically he has a somewhat Irish-sounding (nice accordian/penny whistles) tune off his debut album 'ADHD'...check it out:

First 3 tunes are very nice pop songs:

Hopefully someone can translate the SM tune to hear what he's saying--I think I hear Pogues and Popes references

the actual vid for the song is this

Anyone heard this tune from this Swedish band? Check out the portrait on his shirt of Shane...
