I’ve combined all of the Nina Persson picture pages into one so that it’s easier to find them.
Digging around, I found some more pictures to add to the collection. Enjoy!
Safe Digression has put out their top 20 albums of the year. Coming in at #12 is A Camp’s Colonia.
They write:
Not sure if this means the end of the Cardigans, but if these lush melodies are the new vessels for Nina Persson’s sweet songs, I’ll take it.
Nina Persson and Nathan Larsson star in the latest commercial for Efva Attling.
Nina discussed the challenges of trying to be funny in America.
Great video from A Camp’s recent gig, at LePoission in New York City. Featuring James Iha from Smashing Pumpkins on guitar.
Our beloved A Camp is nominated for a 2010 Swedish Grammy award. A Camp is up for best album among others.
Nice to see former Granada frontwoman, Anna Järvinen, up for an award along with one of my all time favorites, Bob Hund.

Katy Perry wants the new album to sound like The Cardigans “Lovefool” and Ace of Base “Signs”. So says MTV News.
She then backed off a little bit saying that it was “roller skate music”.
I highly doubt that we’ll be hearing from Katy Perry 16 years from now. Enjoy your 10 minutes of fame.
MTV did a video on Bargain Spin about records that have been overlooked and they talk about The Cardigans “Gran Turismo”.
