The Guardian has published an article about the record industries struggles in the digital age.
Nina Persson is quoted in the article:
The IFPI report quotes Nina Persson, lead singer of the Cardigans and A Camp, saying: “It would be very difficult for me to have made a living just from live music. I would have to travel alone with a guitar and no band or crew to make that work.”
See this ultra rare and great picture of the Cardigans playing squash. Taken by fashion photographer PEROU, Limited edition photographic print of ‘The Cardigans playing squash’ by acclaimed fashion & music photographer PEROU (www.perou.co.uk). The print is signed and stamped by the photographer and is an edition 1 of 10, so very special! The finished print is mounted and framed in a contemporary mid-tone wood and the overall size of the framed picture is 47cm x 53cm (18 ½” x 20 ¾”).

For all of those of you in NYC looking for something to do today for Valentine’s Day, why not head over to Peter Jensen’s fashion show tonight where the lovely Nina Persson will be performing.
Peter Jensen will present his autumn / winter 2010-11 collection Sunday February 14 at 8 pm.
Here is a picture of the setlist being performed tonight.
Julia Frakes, aka Bunny Bisous and Paper’s ubiquitous fashion reporter, is throwing Peter Jensen’s first stateside party.
He’ll show his AW10 collection on Valentine’s Day and celebrate that night.
Nina Persson of the Cardigans will DJ with Nylon’s Rajni Lucienne.
And if that’s not enough to fulfill your Valentine’s Day party quotient, Barneys, Thakooon and Phillip Lim are throwing a bash for Richard Chai’s Love collection, which the store’s picked up for Spring.
Much better than a heart shaped box of chocolates.
The Fashionable Housewife Blog has a post about how to keep lips soft and supple for Valentine’s Day.
In it, she quotes Nina Persson as saying
6. “A Swede would never walk outside in extreme hot or cold weather without applying LypSyl before leaving the house.” – Nina Persson (Singer, Lyricist of The Cardigans, Swedish Grammy Award Winner)
Apparently, LypSyl is available at Walgreens, RiteAid, etc for $2.99
I guess if anyone knows how to keep lips from being perfect in extreme cold it would be the Swedes.
