	I understand that the duo that does "She's Got The Look" (I can't
	remember their names) are a couple of country kids from Sweden.
	They seem to be doing alright.

	Jan,

	That's the one I was thinking about.  Don't know if they were very
	popular in Sweden but they seem to be hitting it off well here.
	I hear Taylor Dayne was doing well in Sweden (She dyed her hair 
	blonde from being a redhead to fit in !).

    Did You notice that roxette is on their way up on us-chart again.
    This time with "dangerous". This is a good advice:
    BUY THEIR ALBUM - "LOOK SHARP" it is extremely good.
    More successfully swedes are Leila K featuring Rob'n Raz - "Got
    to get" ...on their way on billboard.

    Hi. I'm way into the Icelandic band, the SugarCubes, but bored with
    listening  to their meager two albums. Two pre-Cubes KUKL albums
    satisfied me for a few more weeks.  Does anyone out there have any live
    tapes, FM broadcasts,  different versions of songs than available in
    the U.S., etc.? How bout tapes of Theyr or Purrkurr Pilnikk, or the
    alleged childrens album Bjork recorded when she was eleven?
    
    Video would be cool too. Live tapes of KUKL, or albums other than The
    Eye or Holidays in Europe? Anything? To trade, I've got some neat
    8x10's from their most recent tour, and a videotape from Auburn,
    Alabama. Or live Grateful Dead tapes, if you can handle those.

Re .14
The group's name is deLillos. Incidentally,
they have a new album out this week, called
"Svett smil".

And a-ha's new album will be out in October.
The first single from the album, released this
week, is a cover version of the Everly Brothers'
'Crying in the rain'.

    Never mind.  I heard that U.S. Country Music was getting popular in
    Sweden, and some of the U.S. Country Music groups were touring over
    there.  I was curious if there was a steady appetite for (American)
    country music in Sweden.
    
    Thanks

    -------------
    Terminology: 
    -------------

    DANSBAND (dance band...)  They all sound very much the same, a little
    influence from country, a little from "soft music". Many people say
    they don't like it, but "it's so good for dancing".

    GAMMELDANS (old style dancing) is genuine swedish folk music for
    dancing: waltz, polka, hambo, schottis... Kind of  "rural" music, some
    of it may be OK, but in the long run boring to the pop generation.

    SCHLAGERS is pretty much the swedish equivalent of what in the US 
    would be called "Top-40", or songs which "made the charts."
