Of course, Orlando brings in a lot of new CD's for the listeners and I to enjoy. In the middle of last year he brought in this little gem by what was at the time, a little Swedish band. (He even brought it in on import.) We had been playing lots of Swedish bands on the show and I thought this was another of the great, but unknown bands from Northern Europe. I liked this album the moment I heard it, and apparently everyone else in the world found it just as wonderful as well. Within weeks of us posting "Amsterdam" as a MFL Track of the Month, this album was everywhere. Drew Barrymore was wearing their t-shirt on SNL, and the catchy tune "Young Folks" was featured on every commercial and talk show under the sun. They also became the band to see at SXSW 2007. Big enough that Orly and I didn't even try to fight the crowds to see them. "We'll see them later on by themselves, playing a longer set". Orlando and I both put "Young Folks" in our top ten singles of last year, and this album made it into our top 20 as well. There is a lot of good artists coming out of Sweden these days, and this band is certainly one of them. "Baby went to Amsterdam".
