I fell abruptly in love with Yelle yesterday and had this itch to make a playlist called Femme Fatale, filled with french accents and women, or preferably a combination of both. If you fancy some grr-gals with those sexy R's in your ears, go ahead and play.

Because Sundays are for cleaning, and then watching the turtle enjoy a fresh tank.

Music we were playing (but the mike was incorrectly configured I realize now) turn it on.

I'll be taking some time off, tomorrow is the day before "Jul" here in Sweden, and since we also have family in Denmark, we're making tomorrow "Danish Jul" with all the wee ones eating too much candy and unwrapping gifts at mach3 speed.

Then the 24th, we'll have "Swedish jul" with the usual, eating reindeer heart, and watching the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Nope, I don't watch that Donald Duck show that I've already seen a bazillion times and everyone else in Sweden seems to be legally required to watch. When I moved to Sweden I didn't know about the tradition, cartoons were a rarity and Christmas was perfect as it had both snow and cartoons that I had been so starved of. Ever helpful dad with his high-tech gadgets recorded it for me and I watched that tape as often as I could the whole year. Come next christmas, I wait for the yearly cartoon and... oh no they didn't, oh yes they showed the same exact show again. Culture-shock! I'm still traumatized. Honest.

I kinda hate Christmas. but not so much that I didn't make a playlist for it. It's the anti-Xmas playlist. Enjoy.

Ibland får gamla dammiga småbarnsmammor fortfarande gå på konsert, och då låter det såhär. Hör ni hur hela publiken skriker med? Moahahahaa!

STORT TACK till deeped vars magiska RSS läsare hade den enda hårda kopian av denna post i hela världen - samt så sitter han och hamstrar Adland poster som om han är en samlarmyra med OCD - Hurra!

Ser ut som om jag kommer att sitta fastkedjad vid smartburken och lösa lite kniviga problem istället för att baka saffransbullar. Nå. Till sånt behöver man musik. Alternativ julmusik.

Deepedition skickade en stafettpinne - vad är den bästa kärlekslåten? Hans förslag är "Love will tear us apart", som jag alltid har älskat, så du vet - jag synar hans LWTUA och höjer med en tuvalensisk (säger man så?) throat singer.

Albert Kuvezin - Yat-Kha ª Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division cover)

(för övrigt så är deras versions av Orgasmatron (Motorhead) också sjukt bra.)

Richard Cheese rocks my world.

...And so am I because I'm kicking off my shoes now.

Enjoy a song from Stephanie Rice, who's currently touring in Germany.

Best song of 2007, according to the small jury of MEeeeeeeEEE!

Here's the deal. Never take the train that leaves twenty minutes after five in the morning. That'll suck, right? Especially with smaller children that you'll have to wake and all. Right?
Wrong. They deal with it a lot better than we do, trust me.

Plus the station is so interestingly large, empty and quiet at that hour. Cool.

Found great tunes so far. For example: Creator - Santogold
Want invite? Ask me.
