As you maybe know, we Swedes celebrate Midsummer this weekend. It's one of our classic festivals that is the second most celebrated holiday except Christmas. The biggest celebration party was yesterday, that means that most Swedes today are pretty tired and pretty hungover. Sweden as a country is not that fast today, so if any other country would like to invade us, I think this day could be the one to choose.
The tradition is clear and simple, it occurs round the summer solstice and we drink "Brännvin" (a kind of akvavit or flavoured vodka), eat "inlagd sill" (pickled herring) and of course dance around the "Midsommarstång" (maypole) singing old classic songs that goes a bit like this:
Nothing strange with this I would say. I must also add that the party that I was at, was a lot more intense than this clip.
Due to intenseness from yesterday I just wanted to gather some new and kind of new music that we like right now. A kind of Midsummer roundup from tired Tracasseur. Happy Midsummer!

Sir Lancelot's Christmas 7" Edition
Hohoho! It's Christmas time and hope you know it (yes I've heard that Band Aid song too many times) so I thought giving you some songs from my 7" vinyl collection. Some of them are cheesy, some of them are Hi-NRG disco and I'm pretty sure you don't have them on your computer...well at least not all of them. My favourite one is German "Laser" by Laser from 1979.So, no more talking let's get down to business and Merry Christmas!

Mr Sinclar
I've always been a big fan of the French house scene, since way back in the 90's. Unfortunately some of the artists have gone really commercial; even my favourite Bob Sinclar. Now Mr Sinclar is a superdj just doing big and "commercial" gigs and all his new songs sound the same but here are some great old stuff, well generations old in a bloggerworld...
