CACKA ISRAELSSON

Not from Israel, but one of my favarite pasttime Sweedes.
A former sportman who moved on to radio, and from radio to country, often reffered to as swedens Johnny Cash or Merle Haggard.
I have uploaded five tracks to rapidshare.
Most of Cackas hits were covers of wellknown american sentimental countrysongs sung (in Norway also referred to as "prunes") in his own language, but here youll also find "Home on The Ranch" sung in dark beatiful Sweenglish (love the way he´s pronouncing ranch, exept from that his English is actually not so bad, probably better than mine).

2.Tom Dooley
3.En Sliten Grimma
4.Home On The Ranch
5.Amerikabrevet

SCANDINAVIAN GERIATRIC SERVICE

......I have gathered some of my favorite old scandinavian music (1940-1970) on this compile, originally for Ian & Uri, but it seems like they also ended up here since it is the 15th today, and I could feel on my artrisis that the world is in a desperate urgent need of getting to know more of what is laying on the bottom of the scandinavian sonic coffin.
Most of the tracks are Norwegian or Swedish this time, some are covers. All the Norwegian ones are music I was raving mad about in my childhood. (the prior old sentimental toothless senile biddy or drunken heartbroken sailor never got totally erased out of my soul when being reborn)
I did however realize when looking through my music that I hardly have any Danish oldies. I should do something about that.

well, here goes
TRACKS:
1. Daiga-daiga-duu A-L Ingemansson (S/Fin)
Sweedens finest! A devine voice, as sung from heaven above, often performed with her dog.
From UBU web, 365 days project, (where you can find her Oxdragorsang): "Sweden's finest, and a pioneer of do-it-yourself record-making. Anna-Lisa ran a pedicure-salon in Stockholm, and in her spare time she hired musicians and studios to make records (on which she was often joined by her poodle on the covers) released on her own ALI-label. Anna-Lisa refused to be tied up to the conventional rules of snobby things like rhythm, tempo and staying in tune, and on her records you can hear how the musicians grow more and more desperate trying to follow Anna-Lisa's crusades into new and unexplored musical fields. Her repertoire was based on covers."
2. Mördande Tango 3:40 Ambros Seelos Orchestra (S)
3. Lili Marlén 2:12 Anna-Lisa Ingemansson (S/Fin)
4. joik 1:43 Ante (N)
From the Norwegian Childrens Drama, "Ante" witch was made in 1974, and showd over and over again at Norvegian Riks Kringkasting during the 70ties and 80ties. A political project to empower the sami people and culture. Sing this song to any norwegian 30 something (not me), and they are in your spell copletely, even though they have no memberence of the story.
