P3 Pop
2005.12.12
In Sweden, John Peel has no beard, has got blue eyes, is 28, is still alive and is a girl. Her name is Hanna Fahl and you can listen to her programme of indie pop every monday, from 10pm to 12pm (local time), on Sveriges Radio P3. For those of you who try desperately to understand a few words in Swedish (i’m one of them), it’s a nice start: she doesn’t talk that much after all since her programme is about music and even if you’re a beginner you’ll still catch a few words such as “Belle and Sebastian”, “Lambchop”, “Pipettes” or “The Clientele”… ;-).
‘Cause yes, that’s the kind of music she’s playing every monday, along with many scandinavian bands obviously. Tonight (Dec 12) is a special programme with Nicolas Makelberge (a swedish duo I’ve never heard of, to be honest) and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (who are not swedish at all but play great tunes). If ever you miss it, don’t worry, you can always listen to it the week after.
