Odd how sometimes strange connections appear from completely different directions. A week ago I stumbled upon the band First Aid Kit - from Stockholm - via a blog link. A few days later Fever Ray - from Stockholm - via culture critic, and today an old photograph - In the Old Town of Stockholm, February, 1924. The spirit of ABBA must be in the air (Benny was also born in Stockholm!)

Just found this quirky music video. Thought it would be a good one to use to learn how to upload video onto my blog. I know nothing about First Aid Kit (they appear to be sisters from Stockholm and describe themselves as what Gary Numan would sound like if he made folk music) but you can listen to more here and via the little up arrow bottom right on the YouTube window.

(Added 24 jan) Found something about them here. I think this is a duo we might hear more of soon.
