I love ABBA, they have many great songs such as the Dancing queen and Mamma mia.

That's quite a ride. That's a beautiful part if Finland, lots of lakes. My wife's family lives in Kiikala, halfway between Helsinki and Turku. Make sure to post pics.

Back on topic, and still off my bike CD - my 2nd favorite 'Floyd track (the 1st being Julia Dream from Syd Barret days). Strange thing bout this track is although I've had a copy for years, I heard it 1st at the Live Eight gig, and was blown away by it. After a little research, I found it was from 'The Wall', and I remembered buying a 2 CD set from Debehhams (a UK department store) from their 'bargain bin' near the checkout - someone had nicked the CD cover and sleeve, so the store was discarding the innards. I thought 'Floyd had sold out and gone commercial with The Wall, so I never listened to it. After hearing Comfortably Numb on Live8 and being blown out by it, I dug out 'The Wall' cd's and listened to it for the first time. If you've never heard it, do your ears a favour, and buy a copy.

This here is so great that it makes me shake my head in disbelief every time I watch it.

Sorry about the format, but apparently embedding has been disabled for this video.

anneke van giersbergen has a great voice, and is simply amazing on stage:
she's currently following a solo project with her new band agua de annique.

here with her previous band:

the gathering: alone (live, fm ''a sound relief'' dvd)


enjoy...
