Abba just opened their official museum in Stockhol and as a tribute to one of their disco classics, here is the Cut & Paste edit that Swedish producer Martin Brodin did of another edit made at the time.
Fra le tante cose nuove che si sono viste nell'edizione 2013 dell' Eurovision Song Contest c'è stata anche la passerella che ha visto protagonisti i 26 cantanti della serata finale, che prima delle esibizioni hanno sfilato con una parte della delegazione e con una bandiera in mano. La musica che li accompagnava era "We write the story", primo inno ufficiale della storia eurovisiva. Una canzone quasi regale, che unisce due generazioni, visto che è stata composta da Bjorn Ulvaeus e Benny Andersson, ovvero i due componenti maschili dei mitici Abba, lanciati proprio dall'Eurovision, vinto nel [...]
23.33 La popstar Eric Saade si occupa delle interviste nella Green Room. Il conteggio voti si sa rivelando AGONICO a livelli sanremesi ma Jon Ola Sade, il deus ex machina dell'Eurovision, dice che mancano giusto due minuti. L'ansia. The winner takes it all, come cantavano gli ABBA che vengono omaggiati con una performance live dall'arrangiamento lento e morbido ma pronto ad esplodere. 23.24 Petra Mede intrattiene gli spettatori e l'attesa con uno spettacolino divertente, parodia di Marilyn Monroe e degli spettacoli degli Stomp sugli stereotipi che identificano la Svezia nel [...]
ABBA were one of the greatest pop acts in global history, and part of what made them so impressive was their prolific output of hit songs. The foursome, made up of two real-life couples (Björn Ulvaeus was married to Agnetha Fältskog and Benny Andersson to Anni-Frid Lyngstad), churned out eight albums during their ten-year recording career before the respective marriages failed by the early ‘80s. The band’s songs chronicled the ups and downs of their relationships, often pairing misery and hopelessness with their big, flashy pop sound. In honor of the museum dedicated to the band that opened in [...]

Abba - Lay All Your Love On Me ( Martin Brodin Disconet Cut & Paste Mix) [ mp3 SoundCloud] Abba just opened their official museum in Stockholm. As a tribute to one of their Disco classics, here is the Martin Brodin's Cut & Paste edit. Volume: UP, dancing: ON.
There's a great post on Richard Williams' blog about his role in Abba's rise to world domination. It even has a walk-on part for The Human League, in the Melody Maker offices: “Sorry, Ian,” I said, “but I really have to listen to this — it’s the new Abba single.” A look of horror crossed his face. The two people with him swung round in amazement. They were Phil Oakey and Joanne Catherall from the Human League, then at the very beginning of their journey to pop stardom. -- [...]
During Tuesday's Breakfast program on BBC One, ABBA member Björn Ulvaeus made a tasteless reference to the Boston Marathon bombing after the hosts asked how the 68-year-old maintains an astonishing level of personal health. "I don't know, running is good," Ulvaeus replied, "unless you're in the Boston Marathon." You can detect the immediate awkwardness on the show, as well as the look of regret on Ulvaeus's face. But the recording artist doesn't stand alone among gaffe-making entertainers commenting on the tragic events. A more crude misstep was made on Monday by Anthony Jeselnik. The stand-up, notorious [...]
Some people just don't know how to think before they speak, and the ABBA 's Bjorn Ulvaeus is one of those. The Swedish popper was a guest on BBC Breakfast this morning talking about his career when he was asked why he looked so well. Well, I don't know, running, is good unless you're in the Boston Marathon. Jump to the minute mark for the inappropriateness ..
The Eurovision Song Contest is an annual event where each European member country submit a song for competition. Having been one of the longest running television broadcasts since 1959, Sweden's own ABBA won the contest in 1974 with "Waterloo," and they are back this year - but for another reason. Abba members Benny and Bjorn won't be entering the contest, they'll be composing the theme song, and they'll be doing so alongside fellow Swedish musician Avicii . The collaboration has been titled "We Will Write The Story" and is set for a live debut on May 18th, the contest's [...]
Culann have made no secret of the fact that they want to make 2013 their year and they made a great start by winning the 'Best Rock/Alternative' category of The Scottish Alternative Music Award earlier this month. Comprised of PJ Kelly - Vocals/Guitar, Sean Kelly - Drums/Vocals, Greg Irish- Guitar, Ross McCluskie- Keys and Calum Davis-Bass, Culann are making rousing folk/rock anthems [...]
Happy Friday friends! We sure have a treat for you today – OVERWERK is BACK! The long time Caveman Sound favorite unleashed his brand new track, 12:30 , yesterday that quite honestly takes no prisoners. Equipped with his signature electro house crunch, it's a wild, energetic ride from start to finish. We see him doing what he does best here, which is pull you in and hold your attention from the moment the gripping beat hits your ears. By combining his own elements, while lightly sampling Abba's Gimme Gimme Gimme , and adding a touch of [...]
OVERWERK is back at it, borrowing from ABBA's classic "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" to guarantee this high energy track will have you and everyone in earshot on their feet. Not a lot of context to this jam; last week he hinted he was close to releasing something ... Read More

Ha 62 anni ma non li dimostra. Agnetha Faltskhog è come il vino, più invecchia, più funziona. Lei era una dei quattro Abba, il gruppo vocale svedese padrone assoluto del mainstream mondiale degli anni 70 ed inizi anni 80, vincitore dell'Eurovision 1974 e titolare in Svezia di un fatturato superiore a quello della Volvo. Da qualche tempo è tornata a fare musica da solista ma questo attuale è il suo rientro nel mainstream continentale doipo nove anni di silenzio "When you loved someone " anticipa "A ", l'album che uscirà a giugno e [...]
Down the back of Truman's Brewery, John Grant is tonight an omnipresent, his name inescapable as Bowie's The Next Day artwork was over the weekend. The walls covered in posters quite rightly advertising his splendid Pale Green Ghosts record released just yesterday, and his name radiantly illumined above the entrance to Rough Trade East, his is the queue which spews forth. It's bitterly gelid out, though the onetime Czar now commands an utmost adoration. A couple came over from Portugal just to see him sell out Heaven in twenty-four [...]
Abba : Ring Ring [Purchase] By far the most successful group of the 70's, Abba sold more than 370 albums and singles worldwide. It all began with Ring Ring , released in Scandinavia on March 26, 1973. Despite the catchy title cut, the album did not give any indication the foursome would soon achieve world domination. In fact the members of the band were all doing multiple projects at the time and no one thought this Abba thing would even be a permanent deal. Agnetha and Anni-Frid were pop [...]
As one fourth of ABBA , Agnetha Faltskog was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame three years ago. And thankfully the 62-year-old Swedish diva is still at it, cranking out quality music. Case in point: "When You Really Loved Someone," the first single to be issued off Faltskog's upcoming album A (out May 14 in the US). As far as dreamy, irresistible pop goes, the track ticks all the right boxes — and is right up there with the best of ABBA's classic ballads — thanks in no small part [...]
Late last year this image of four t-shirts featuring Celine Dion, Barry White, Phil Collins and Marc Anthony designs in a Heavy Metal style went viral because we metallers just love being patronised. Now, in 2013, you can buy some similar ones. Yes, for just $30 (+P&P) you can buy a Mumford and Sons "World Tour 18983 t-shirt or a Celine Dion "Beauty And The Beast Tour" t-shirt from Fab.com . David Ward, who is clearly not a "Beiber" fan, is the man taking advantage [...]
