Top 10s for 2006: Viktor Sjöberg
Five musical moments, 2006
*Listening to the Mr. Suitcase remix of Nicholas Makelberge's "South America" with my friend Daniel in a Las Vegas hotel room. "Europeans are not dangerous" and "we need what's strange to us". It might all be nonsense, but that was a perfect experience.
*Listening to the opening track of Diplo's "Florida" album in cars. First in Toledo, Ohio and a few weeks later in La Jolla, California. It is from now on the sound that equals precious friendship.
*Playing with Alina at På Besök in Malmö, February. A few weeks later, listening to a recording of the show and enjoying the first 8 or 9 minutes tremendously.
*Last minute rehearsals with the V. Sjöberg New Jazz Quartet in a Danish artist studio. I played the boys the rough idea for a cover of R. Kelly's "Happy people" and that got them going. It was so fun and so beautiful that I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.
*Hearing Tsukimono play "Speaking about punk rock" a few times during live shows throughout the year and shouting.
Five great releases:
Cuizinier – "Pour Les Filles Vol. 2"
J Dilla – "Donuts"
Jonas Lindgren – "You can come by anytime you want to, I'll be around"
Para One – "Epiphanie"
Tsukimono – "Née"

Viktor is so busy with so many different projects, it's hard to say exactly what he'll do next. Whatever it is, I'm sure it will be amazing.
