Everything is so inter-connected. Spoookeee! Like the post I made with the link-in to Broder Daniel PV of ‘I’ll Be Gone’. It featured Håkan Hellström who had previously played drums with them, then was bass-player 1997 – 2003. (as seen in that clip)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6it5eCsAS68Broder Daniel may be a footnote in history. They parted company after he offered up a song for recording that they considered ‘way too cheerful’ Since then Håkan has gone on to become one of Sweden’s major award-winning performers.
I note (from Wikipedia) Throughout his career, Hellström's influences have shown clearly in his music, which often includes lines or melodies picked up from other people's songs. The sources range from Evert Taube, via Hellström's own band Broder Daniel, to American indie rock band Pavement. ‘Känn ingen sorg för mig Göteborg’ was particularly lush with references to Morrissey and The Smiths. While some critics have celebrated Hellström's personal take on music history (and pointed out that Morrissey himself was not a stranger to incorporating lines written by others), it has also led to accusations of plagiarism.
Lukas Moodysson, Fucking Amal, Broder Daniel, Morrissey, The Smiths, John Ajvide Lindqvist, ‘Let the Right One In’, Håkan Hellström. Like threads from a spider’s web, they are all inter-connected.
Anyway. As as a Hallowe’en treat here is something different. YOHIO re-interpreting Amy Diamonds ‘Welcome to the City’ as see on ‘Alla tiders Hits’ on Swedish TV. A 100% change of image with a poptastic -tune that refuses to leave your head.
OK a lot of people didn’t like it. I think it’s fun. But it’s made Number 2 slot on Swedish I-Tunes. FFS it’s catchy. Give the guy credit, he is poking fun at himself >.<
