Salem - King Night

I like this album. Fuck the haters who say it's the pop tip
of the witchhouse iceberg. I was surprised to see it for
sale on iTunes though. Whilst looking at the description,
one of the comments jumped out at me,

"This is a good example of how far behind America is with
the rest of the world when it comes to taste in Music. Salem
here was nominated for about seven Swedish Grammys and had
the number one record for quite awhile over there.
"

I can easily see how it's accessible compared to most witch
house, but King Night had the number one album slot?! I
can't find anything else to corroborate this. Can any Swedes
here verify this for me? TIA.

I love King Night too.

But that statement is just too funny, I can assure everyone
that Salem did not recieve any swedish grammy.

It's funny how some americans seems to think Sweden is a
good place to make up some story about to strengthen their
arguments. Like that republican on fox news who claimed that
Sweden has the highest suicide rate in the world because we
have high income taxes. In fact we have about the same
suicide rate as US, but who's going to take the time to
check that fact?

Thanks Gonzola, I hope you're well, you handsome devil.

As appealing as the vision of the video to Sick being on MTV
constantly and being unable to walk down the high street
without King Night blaring out of a car is, I suspected the
claim was "too good to be true".

You're right about how Sweden (and sometimes Switzerland,
perhaps they confuse the two?) is cited as examples of all
kinds of crazy things that happen "over in Europe". Usually
as an extreme of something good or bad, in order to make a
point in another country. :)

Ceri! I hope you are well too.

Yeah so many times I've been complimented for my country's
ability to produce cheeses and finely tuned clockworks. Oh
and those knives, pretty clever! But it goes both ways i
guess. I wouldnt be surprised if i've complimented some one
from Kansas for their delicious fried chicken.

Just realized that there's a swedish mainstream musician
named "Salem Al fakir" who won a couple of grammys, that's
probably the reason for the mix up.
