ABBA-Arrival
Thursday, December 29th, 2011
One of the reasons I really love ABBA is the way they oh-so-sweetly butcher the English language. “Is” becomes a delightful “iss”, Hawaii becomes something that sounds like “huhwhy”… the phonetic successors to the Shocking Blue.
I also loved the girls’ cat dresses (seemingly re-made into shirts some time later because they obviously didn’t have the money for new costumes), although they weren’t wearing them anymore by the time this record came out.
Have I mentioned yet that whenever I had a particularly wild night (and predictably wobbly morning) ABBA was the only thing that could get me on my feet?
That’s why I love ABBA.

Ringo The 4th
Friday, September 17th, 2010
Not my favorite solo Beatle project… no keepers on this one.
A couple of positives though:
1. Ringo was never this bad again, and we all know that he rises from the ashes at some point.
2. Didn’t try to do a punk album.
