You Have Not Yet Heard Your Favourite Song: How Streaming Changes Music Highlight

dansband turned out to be hilarious and awesome. It’s the secret Swedish prehistory behind ABBA, a guilelessly sentimental anti-elitist folk pop in the folkiest and poppiest senses of those words. It still exists, 50 years on, and exuberantly absorbs new styles into its graciously populist glamor. My personal favorite dansband group, Blender, is a little like Roxette moonlighting as the house band at Chuck E. Cheese, or maybe more accurately the other way around.
