about

Pretty old stuff. Swedish Reggae was the working title for Stephen Malkmus' first solo album. Found this information in an Italian music magazine back in 2005, and got stuck in my head as I felt it was such an awesome piece of oxymoron. A title that was definitely worth a song.

lyrics

Not in my name, don't play that song in my name
since I am neither a rockstar nor an alternative mastermind
let me just play what I feel into my paunch
for instance pop, jazz, blues, even nu-metal and Swedish reggae
My guitar wants to kill any possible hypocrisy
my bass guitar can feel the pressure of being an indie icon
but I'm not Jimi and I'm not Jaco, I am just a sort of man
who loves women, beer and Swedish reggae

Alright, I could feel satisfied
Alright, I could feel myself alive
So long, woman with the red shirt
Come on, let's go to Luleå...
