Ask the Swedish chick

Stockholm.

greatsatan, hüsker du is not Swedish, it’s Norwegian and it’s actually husker du without the umlaut. It means do you remember. I didn’t even know there was a board game called Hüsker du.

ChrisP, Drain is Swedish, but I don’t know about STH. The most commonly used abbreviation for Stockholm is STHLM, not STH.

omni-not, I hope you don’t think I’m ignoring you, but Juggler pretty much covered it. We are reserved at first, but be patient and we’ll be friends forever.

mrblue, I’m going to have to get back to you. It’s a big issue you’re asking me about and I don’t want to rush an answer.

Yours truly,
soda

STH?!?! Those are my initials!!! Does that mean Swedish chicks would dig me?

It could be a while, but I’ll be sure to leave my puukko-knife home :o

Sorry Mrblue92 no-one uses STH instead of Stockholm, only STHLM. Nice try though =)

What did we, as Americans, do to deserve Ace of Base? I mean, really. Was it Pauly Shore? It was Pauly Shore, wasn’t it? Damn his his evil hide, I KNEW it was Pauly Shore…

You weren’t the only suffering **Mr. Blue Sky ** the whole world did. But I hope and think they are gone forever. Thankfully we got better artists in Sweden like Cardigans for example. I had the same music teacher as the singer in Cardigans. Now how come I can’t sing? grumble

I was refering to the all girl Swedish band referenced earlier, “Drain STH”. I’m almost afraid…

(No, not really…)

Ace of Base is just the tip of the iceberg that is Cheiron Studios. Those evil masterminds have produced the music of such monstrosities as Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, N*Sync, and pretty much everyone else who sounds like that.

Please accept our sincerest apologies.

Soda, you’re not writing a book, are you? :wink:

I’m from the U.S. but I think there are several great bands from Sweden everyone should hear:
Opeth, In Flames, Dark Tranquility, and Amon Amarth are my favorites.
and not that it is related but… from Finland there is Sentenced, Amorphis, and Nightwish.

It is a shame that these great bands aren’t that well known here in the states.

not trying to disagree but……. From interviews with the band they said they had to add something to Drain because there was already a band in the US with the name Drain. They would have had to pay them to use the name so they added S.T.H. – according to the band members it is an abbreviation for Stockholm. Saw them in concert, got the t-shirt! Oh – and if you haven’t seen these women THEY ARE HOT!!!

Holy resurrected threads, Batman!

Our dear soda has taken a leave of absense (a temporary one, I hope) from the board, so maybe Anniz can take over this thread as the resident Swedish Chick. :slight_smile:

I hope she does, Montfort - I’m still waiting for a good recipe for glogg!

**Opengrave:**Well they just made it up. I suppose you could abbreviate Stockholm into Scklm if you wanted to but Sthlm is the standard. There is a band named Teddybears STHLM because there already was a band called Teddybears.

** Sandyr:** I could call my mom and get a recipe for glögg if you wanted to. I just go out and buy BLOSSA though
