I recently saw SGR's proposed nickname for Queen Boo, which is the brilliant "Queebs". It made me think that "rs" is not a very satisfactory shortening of your username. How about "Rubs"?



This is a surprisingly smooth selection from Frownland, although I didn't like it that much. A beautiful voice, some unexpected twists and turns, but I couldn't shrug off the feeling that it had all been put together with clichés from various genres. Most glaring to me was a kind of tinkling sound that they used to use in old movies (or Star Trek) to signify that some magical possession, or waking up from a dream world, was in progress. 6/10

This thread deserves to be resurrected.

Would one call this "indie pop"? I don't know. I do know this Swedish singer (who I had heard of but not heard anything by before) makes intelligent music that's infinitely better than the manufactured pop garbage you hear on American radio nowadays. "All my love has been denied/all my love is unrequited." I'll be checking out more by Lykke Li.


Now for my song:
