The Cardigans

When I first heard The Cardigans, I did not like them at all. The music sounded pointless and the vocals annoyingly sweet. Then, they got a bit dirty and a bit tortured with Gran Turismo and convinced me that they can write memorable, emotionally-powerful songs. Yesterday I got reminded of Hanging Around, a forgotten (no more) favourite of mine and I wanted to share. Here's the video for it, which is, as well noted on line, inspired by Roman Polanski's Repulsion: ... MORE

This is the music video for The Cardigans My Favorite Game. My roommate Christina and I just had a nice drive to my hometown and this song was included in our great mix ;-) Thought I would share

The Cardigans' Nina Perrson will be releasing her second solo album under the moniker A Camp (Her first solo work under that name was released back in 2001.) "Right now I'm super-inspired by Adam & The Ants trying to recreate their wet dream drum-sound on my coming solo record,” she told Swedish paper Dagens Nyheter. “I'm even thinking about making a cover of 'Prince Charming' I love it. From childhood all I remember is a poster with Adam Ant and thinking he was cool." ... MORE

I'm having a general Cardigans day today, and found the video for "Sick And Tired" from their 1996 "Life" album. I've liked the album a lot for years but I'd never seen the video until today. For such a dour lyrical message, the music's so sweet and simple and the video suits it perfectly. Talking of Cardigans videos, Youtube also has the banned video for "My Favourite Game". It's bizarre that the vid was so heavily censored when you consider that the material is... MORE

Well, This is not necessarily music-related, but as you can tell from my username and my more recent postings, I have a love of the cinema. So, after the disappointment of Spider-Man 3, I felt it was only appropriate that I share this wonderful photo with everyone on MOG. Note: The image has been out since Entertainment Weekly originally ran it a little over a week ago. Iron Man is the latest Marvel Comics superhero to jump from splash page to big screen. (The fil...

Just saw this again and forgot how funny it was. Nina Persson is so.....

This is kind of piggybacking off of AJ's earlier post http://mog.com/lemontwist/blog_post/38555 I was not very smart (shocking I know) and kind of wrote the Cardigans off as a novelty after their loungy hit Lovefool...oops! I did it again....so wrong! I am in love with this song...and been listening this entire album and its REALLY good Enjoy b

I always liked this album much more than anything the Cardigans have done. What do you think their best album has been thus far, and why (if you like them, of course)? I picked this one because of how dark it is, and I love the production and variety of instrumentation. Plus, these songs were just great. "Explode", "Higher" and "Hanging Around" are my personal favorites.

It's Sunday, y'all. Know what that means? Time to listen to THE CARDIGANS!

Ok, so....i can't get the mog-o-matic to work and no one really knows what my collection consists of....so,.,.from time to time I think I'll post a few selections from my collection so people can see what I'm all about. Most of my collection is digital now, and there will be a lot of single songs rather than whole albums, but I do have a lot of cds..,.,.,.so here goes in no particular order....
