sweden Busy Busy Busy, did I tell you that I was going to Sweden this Thursday? Yes, it’s true. At the bottom of this post, I am going to post 5 Swedish Bands I love… PS thanks to BWE, PHW and GT for the best day of my favorite blogs linking me! Check them all out.

A. Brooklynvegan has some hard to digest Locust information and song HERE. I saw them at YWCA in Berkeley in like ‘94. I am still scarred to this day.
