Quote of the Month/Song of the Month/ Video of the Month

Quote of the Month

"I think it's dead fun being onstage. That's where I experience the happiest moments of my life. When I stand there I'm completely naked and open.
I turn myself inside out and have nothing against exposing myself.
I feel secure because I enjoy what I'm doing."

~Frida (1977)

Song of the Month

Frida performing "Fire and Ice" at "Lite Grand I Örat" in 1981. Always wonderful to listen to!

Video of the Month

Performing "So Long" in 1974. Always strange to see Benny without his piano;)

Song of the Month/Quote of the Month/Video of the Month

Quote of the Month

"The songs became something of an obsession for us. Each song had to be different, because, in the 60's, that's what the Beatles had done. The challange was to not do another "Mamma Mia" or "Waterloo".

~Benny Andersson

Song of the Month

Well, it's kinda "surprising" for me (not in any way for you, believe me XD), that I chose this song as the song of the month... in June I wouldn't have picked this song, but since I am totally obsessed with Napoléon and Joséphine (since I saw the Napoléon TV series, I can't get enough of reading books about them ♥), I just HAD TO pick this one! So now I think you already know which song it is, don't you?:)Of course it's "Waterloo":))

Video of the Month

Since "Waterloo" is the Video of the Month, I just had to pick my "Waterloo" edit with clips of the Napoléon miniseries from 2002:))with Christian Clavier, Isabella Rossellini, Gérard Depardieu and John Malkovich:)if you ask me-it's the best video I've ever made :DD

Song of the Month

Quote of the Month

"Our platform shoes were made in London, and every time they had to have bigger heels !"

~Björn Ulvaeus

Picture of the Week

Benny and Frida in Oslo 1978

Video of the Month

Another thing I want to try :)

A song of the month (maybe will turn into "Video of the Month" in a while:))

The song of the month is "En Kväll Om Sommarn" sung by Frida together with Lars (Lasse) Berghagen.

It's such a cathy tune !

I posted a vid made by me with pictures of my trip to Denmark (and actually Sweden) from 2010.

AND DON'T FORGET : February 16th on BBC Radio 4 there's the programme "Like an Angel Passing Through My Room" where Christopher Green talks about his admiration for Frida and about meeting Frida in 2006 at a dinner party!

Other News:----A German schlager singer wants to sing something with Frida !

(I think they won't sing anything together anyway)

----Frida maybe is going to be a honorary citizen of Plauen
