Today I am throwing back to a band I always tend to forget is Swedish, The Soundtrack of Our Lives. From their album “Behind the Music” from 2001, the song “Sister Surround” is one of my favorite songs to dance to. The band gained popularity in the United States in 2002 when they joined Oasis on Tour and their album was coined “the best album to come out in the last six years” by Noel Gallagher. Unfortunately for us, the band has since parted ways. Hopefully they will reunite one day and give us some new tunes to dance to.

Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery
All it took was someone to light a little fire under my ass to make me want to bring you guys a better blog and an easier way to enjoy the music that I love and hold dear to my heart. I dedicate hours of my time to bringing out what I feel is some of the best music in the world. This blog is my heart, my soul, this “music is my boyfriend”(To quote CSS from Brazil). I will continue to devote hours to bring you sweet sounds for all your pretty ears.
As you seen yesterday, I now have a Spotify account dedicated strictly to Swedes are Sweet. The playlists are divided into each month. I also realized not everyone has access to Spotify and you have to sign up to listen. So I have created a Souncloud account that will have playlists for you to access without having to sign up for their website. The playlists are not completed yet, but I will have them done soon. Please enjoy by clicking the link below.
Throwback Thursday – Teddybears
It was hard trying to figure out what to post as my Throwback Thursday week, but after throwing a few songs my friends way. I decided on the Teddybears. Reason being, their music just makes you feel good and makes you want to dance. What I enjoy about them is that most of their music is electronic but they also throw some different stuff in to throw you off. They master various genres such as electronic, pop, rock and even reggae. Since they cover so many genres, it was hard picking just one song. You can also hear them in some movie soundtracks. Here are a few.
I have no idea why this one is my favorite.
Neneh Cherry – Buffalo Stance
I have a long list of Throwbacks so I am just getting to Neneh Cherry. I dedicate this one to the ladies!
Throwback Thursday – Ace of Base
So to keep with the way way back Throwbacks on Thursdays. Today I will feature Ace of Base. Campy , Dancey pop of the 90s. I know that when I was a little girl, I knew all the words to these songs. If you grew up in the 90’s you will definitely be familiar with this one. I thank my friends for bringing this up at a get together this past Saturday. I was having Throwback block and now it has been cured!
Throwback Thursday – Europe – The Final Countdown
What was something I learned last week? The band Europe is Swedish. So this makes this Throwback Thursday extra awesome as I get to post a song that has made me laugh, have fun over the years, “The Final Countdown” Hair metal at its best!
El Perro Del Mar – Change of Heart
Sultry and sexy throwback to El Perro Del Mar. El Perro Del Mar’s sings the sweet sadness of love and live through beautifully vocals and melancholy lyrics. Other than Lykke Li, I can’t think of anyone else how has mastered this so gracefully. Check her out!
