Fact: If you added up all of the land in Sweden you’d come up with some number that was pretty close to like 173,745 square miles. 9.3 million people live there. 9.3. That’s it. Los Angeles County has 9.8 million people living in it. It’s also only 4700 square miles. The United States of America on the other hand has 307 million people distributed over 9.8 million square miles. Point being we are fucking huge. And we have tons of space for practice garages. We have numbers. We have size. We don’t have excuses. Maybe this is like some crazy version of the cold war and the Swedish government has kidnapped all of the good musicians and brought them back to Swedish music labs. I heard a rumor they were using all of the various best parts to put an army of super musicians together. I’m not going to lie – the day that Sweden announces they have an army of super musicians – I’m fucking retiring. It’s game over after that.

Taken by Trees (the solo work of Swedish(surprise) singer Victoria Bergsman) dropped a cover not too long ago of that song by that other band. Oh yes – My Girls by Animal Collective. It’s pretty bad ass. But what I’m really doing a lot of debauch (of the after hours variety) to these days is this jam by Tough Alliance featuring previously mentioned Victoria Bergsman. You might vaguely remember her name as she was one of the singers on that song about young people… I think it was called Young Folks. I don’t have exact wikipedia records on this or anything but I’m pretty sure everyone and their mother remixed that song. So if you haven’ t heard it yet – you either learn to read And speaking of Young Folks…Peter Bjorn and John are jamming out at the Nokia Theater tonight in L.A.
