In each city, the couple uses leaflets and local press articles to recruit singers, who all contribute their own complaints. These are woven into a song which is rehearsed and then performed by the group in locations around the city, creating a film several minutes long. It is essential to the concept that the complaints are written by the singers themselves, so each song is specific to its city. In Helsinki the choir sang that "tram number 3 smells of pee" and that they didn't like their nei...

"I've changed a lot since I first came," she goes on. "Of course I've gotten older, but also musically I've changed." "I'm inspired by the music that springs from New Orleans. With that I mean the soul, rhythm and blues of the 1960's, Allen Toussaint and Betty Harris. I'm really inspired by Betty Harris. There's something very funky with the music in New Orleans that you simply cannot find anywhere else. When I play with musicians from other places, I miss it." "But that's fine," she conclude...

[Johan Renck]'s love for independent artists has to do with his love of good music. Good music, rather than the size of the artist, determines whether or not he'll do a video. The fact is, that he himself was a pop star at the height of indie-pop during the 90's. He was, under the alias Stakka Bo, on most top-ten lists in Europe, even climbing the US charts with the album Supermarket and the dance hit Here We Go Again. But Renck was known even before that, as a trendsetter in Stockholm's inne...

The latest music trend in Scandinavia is soul-inspired electronica and rock. Just like Kraftwerk once adopted James Brown's beat, there's a soul sensation on the latest album of Danish band Tiger Tunes (V2) and Swedish group CDOASS (Playground Music); both combine machines with humor, bringing Devo to mind. Moneybrother, actually just one person, Anders Wendin, plays adult rock with 70s soul feeling and rock with dance rhythms, best sounding like Thin Lizzy. Two years ago, Moneybrother walked...

"New York," says [Sarah Dawn Finer], "is my muse." "It's something I've always done..." Finer explains. "...I mean since I was like six years old and got a part in a TV-show. I've been performing ever since." Still no record deals were made, and finally Finer assumed firm command of her own career and released her music on her own: The EP Sarah Dawn Finer came out in 2005. Although continuously bubbling under the music radar, Finer didn't have her breakthrough until the spring of 2007, when s...

About half a year earlier, [Silvio Berlusconi] had boasted that Parma, Italy was selected as host of the EU's new food authority, rather than archrival Helsinki, because of the superior quality of Italian food. The Italian leader complained that in order to win support from other European countries, he had to first "endure" Finnish food. French President Jacques Chirac, presumably incited by the wit of his Italian counterpart, added fuel to the fire a few weeks later by suggesting that the on...

"Culturally something happens, you know," she continues. "I didn't live in Iceland during my formative years, but I've had access to so many nationalities I find myself at home everywhere. The familiarity of the American culture is quite clear though - I know how it works and what I need to do. I'm the most efficient here." "But my Mom was my model and she practiced, and my sister pushed me. In fact we played these... games until we were teenagers, where she'd ask me how long I'd practiced an...

The Swedish capital's fashion frenzy during Stockholm's fashion week in August is mainly about showing and selling garments. But it's also an opportunity for the nation's glitterati to sip sponsored champagne at nightclubs and museums, for celebrities to strut and pose for TV cameras and for sharp-elbowed journalists to jostle for the best seats by the catwalks. Sweden's fashion week is a relatively modest affair in many respects. Sure, you need to have a connection to the industry (or be the...

1. Madeleine FaIk started at the Ballet Academy of Gothenburg, and thanks to a grant from Prime Minister Ingvar Carlsson, pursued a career in dancing and acting, eventually ending up in Los Angeles.

Always with a smile, the charm...
