Today at 6pm I’m hopping on an Air Canada flight and heading to London England to begin my annual trip to Melodifestivalen.
I’ve loaded up my iPod with all my favorite Swedish track to get me in the mood. Seeing as I’ll be on a plane to the Uk for the next 9 hours I’ve added Scooch – Flying The Flag to my iPod as well and brought my portable speakers. I’m going to see if I can’t entice the cabin crew to give us a little show in the air.
I’ve already started planning my events in Stockholm which will include stalking as many stars as I can. On the “must meet” list this year is E.M.D, Velvet, Alcazar and Shirley Clamp. It looks like I’ll get to meet a few of them already so you can expect some great pictures when I get back.
For those of you that live in London you better be at the Harcourt Arms on Saturday night to watch Andra Chansen live! It’s tough but I’m voting for Star Pilots and Sarah Dawn Finer to go to the finalen. I hate to say that because I really want Lili and Susie to get through as well… but there’s only room for one and Sarah Dawn Finer blew me away with her performance last week.
So there won’t be a lot of updates and no new music while I’m gone… BUT as always I’ll be bringing back a bunch of new music when I come home and you will all benefit from that.
To keep you busy while I’m gone here are some gems for you!

It’s basically a 95% copy of their debut single but better! The singer featured on this track is Johan Becker who won Sweden’s Fame Factory in 2004. He is unbelievable live and together with the Star Pilots they put on a fun show. So fingers crossed that they do well on Saturday.
Pussycat Dolls – Jai Ho (You Are My Destiny)
I STILL haven’t seen Slumdog Millionaire because everyone I know went and saw it without me so hopefully I’ll get to see it overseas. I’m not a huge PCD fan but they’re guaranteed a hit with this catchy track from the movie as their new single. The band are re-releasing their last album with Jai Ho to try and drum up more album sales since the album hasn’t done as well as expected. You’ll probably start hearing this track a lot in the next few weeks.
That’s it for now! Remember you can always reach me by e-mail at lanocty@hotmail.com
