How I've lived this long without listening to The Knife is inexplicable. I blame Joanna Friberg. As my in to Swedish culture, she needs to tell me these things. I think she owes me more than Ace of Base.
This video was shot in April 2006 in Gothenburg, Sweden. Joanna may very well have been at this concert. Even though she lives outside of the city and MIGHT have been too busy gardening or sailing with Pepe or cooking meatballs or whatever it is that she does, she could have easily called up the bus and asked them to pick her up and bring her to the city to see The Knife.
Joanna told me that's how it works and it makes me love Sweden: The bus doesn't run regularly to her house out in the woods but it's cool because you can just call the bus and it'll come get you. Anyway, The Knife.
I just found another The Knife video that made me vaguely nervous until I just started laughing.

Heartbeats is one of my favoritest songs. The Knife RULES.
Speaking of wonderful musical contributions from Sverige, what the hell was the name of the band we used to love so much that we saw at Tivoli (some song about Jimmy Dean)?
Jeepers.
