A Swedish Star's Rock-and-Rile Words
By Amy Argetsinger and Roxanne Roberts
Tuesday, October 24, 2006; Page C03

Aparty at the Swedish Embassy took an undiplomatic turn Sunday when visiting rock star Ola Salo's edgy political banter crossed the line. Salo was performing on the embassy's front lawn when he looked up at a plane approaching Reagan National Airport and told the crowd: "In this country, you don't know where those planes are headed." Then, according to witnesses, he said it should go "into the White House."

Salo, 29, is lead singer of the Ark, a glam rock band ("Queen meets Abba" according to hipster critics) that is wildly popular in Sweden and Italy. The group kicked off its U.S. tour with a free public concert at the embassy's gorgeous new home on the Potomac, as part of the week-long inauguration celebration.

Media producer Steve Skemp told us he joined the crowd of about 150 people (many fans of the band) while the band was in the middle of a song ridiculing President Bush. When the plane flew just above them, Salo made his crack. "I was stunned," said Skemp. "I was more stunned at the reaction of the crowd, because they laughed and clapped."

An offended Skemp, who describes himself as a moderate Republican, sought out Ambassador Gunnar Lund and asked him to take the stage to publicly apologize for the insult to Americans. He said Lund responded dismissively that both Sweden and the United States had a tradition of free speech, and he would not censor political comments.

Yesterday there were plenty of apologies. Ambassador Lund said he arrived at the tail end of the festival and did not hear Salo's remark or fully understand what had offended Skemp and another man who complained. He speculated Salo may have been misunderstood, but if not, "it's completely irresponsible and unacceptable. I can understand why people are offended by it. I'm offended by it."

Salo, reached in New York, said he did not intend to make a political statement and is "very, very sorry" if anything he said offended. "It would be very tasteless to joke about such a thing," he said. "The events of 9/11 were a great tragedy not just for Americans but for people all over the world." Salo said he doesn't remember his exact words, but did mention the plane -- and the fact it was headed in the direction of the White House. "Sometimes when I'm onstage, it's my mouth moving and not connected to my brain."

The flap came at the worst possible time: Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia arrived in Washington on Sunday and presided at a gala embassy dinner for U.S. dignitaries last night. Yesterday the royals had lunch with President Bush and the first lady at -- you guessed it -- the White House.

Christian Falk feat. Robyn
"Dream On"
Download from 17th November, In shops 24th November 2008

**Stunning new single from Christian Falk featuring Swedish pop sensation Robyn**

November sees the long awaited release of long standing Swedish artist and producer Christian Falk’s anthem in waiting, the gorgeous, melancholy ‘Dream On’.

Taken from Falk’s ‘People Say’ album this laidback, string laden musical masterpiece is a beautiful pop record featuring Robyn’s gorgeous haunting vocals.

Anyone who has seen Robyn live will recognise ‘Dream On’ as it’s long been one of the highlights of her show. Robyn has had incredible success in the UK with her eponymous album which has now reached gold status selling over 250,000 copies, including last summer’s No.1 smash, ‘With Every Heartbeat’. She’s currently tearing it up across Europe supporting the mighty Madonna, the only artist support on the whole tour.

Falk began his musical career in the eighties as a member of Sweden’s biggest rock band at the time, Imperiet. He went on to become a renowned producer who through the nineties worked with everyone from Puff Daddy, The Notorious B.I.G, Neneh Cherry and Youssou N’Dour. He released his first solo album ‘Quel Bordel’ in 1999 and its follow up ‘People Say’ in 2006. Falk is no stranger to the UK charts, in 2000 his debut record ‘Make It Right’ became a dancefloor classic.

Whilst the original version is produced by Falk and mixed by Jeremy Wheatley (AlphaBeat, Sam Sparro, Duffy), the remix package tweaks it in all the right places... Moto Blanco take the track and turn up the heat with a funky house remix that pushes all the right buttons for some serious commercial club and radio play. Legendary house producer and Xpress 2 member Ashley Beedle goes down a more disco route, with some rolling percussion and old skool piano vibes, whilst Swedish techno outfit Tiger Stripes add a dreamy, melodic twist to proceedings. Finally Virgo, one of the leading producers and DJ’s on the rapidly growing Bassline scene turns in a bump ‘n grind mix that flips mid-track into a wobbling bass heavy monster for maximum damage.

‘Dream On’ will be released on Ministry Of Sound’s dance imprint Data Records. The label has a proven track history including 5 #1’s, 16 Top 5’s and 22 Top 10 hits with a total combined sales in excess of 7 million singles. They have just recently released their 200th single, Eric Prydz’s ‘Pjanoo’ which reached # 2 in the UK charts.

'Dream On's lyrics are by default an eerily poignant social commentary on today’s ‘broken Britain’ where street crime is spiralling out of control, alcohol and drug dependency are on the rise. Falk and Robyn capture this beautifully whilst providing a thought provoking slice of pop brilliance. ________________________________________________________________________________

I am really liking this one. The original's great, but Moto Blanco really nailed it. :)

[blahhhh]

Love the song, love the remixes...

Something about this song reminds me of "My Favorite Things" from The Sound Of Music
