Ohh Aqua. I remember listening to Aqua when I was like 5. On my little cd player and dancing in my room like I was in a overly happy movie montage. Shit just got real.

Am I allowed to admit that I rotated the SHIT out of this CD when it came out? I loved me some Aqua! Unfortunately, ditto. It was my little sisters but I probably played it more than she did. There was just something beautiful and weird about Aqua. I'm sure HG will chime in to tell us that Aqua has had an awesome career and have released six stellar albums that kill in Sweden. Ha! You know, that may very well be the case but I don't know much about Aqua. That was amusing and mildly heart-warming, though.

Nope. Apparently they made 2 albums, then spent the next 11 years releasing no new material save a track or two on 2 greatest hits albums. How do you make 2 greatest hits albums after only making 2 records?
Anyways, as Pea mentioned, their third album is due pretty quick here.

I'm really curious to see which, if any festivals would be willing to pick them up next year.

It's been in the back of my mind for a while. One day.

If Aqua played Sasquatch, I know I'd make a point of seeing them. Same reason I saw Robyn.

I'm quite confident that I could karaoke the shit out of that entire Aqua CD if I was a) drunk enough, or b) forced at gunpoint.

Female singers from Sweden or Norway always get top priority. You'll never be disappointed.

It is. Read: Bjork, The Knife, Komeda.

I agree with those, I was talking about the comparison between Robyn and Aqua.

Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Holland... Samesy-samesy. They're all a bunch of fuckin' weirdos with goopy, cartoonish helium voices. LOVE IT.
Nice avatar, by the way. Fuckin' Antelope Man... That guy knows how to party.

To clarify, most of my memories from Robyn were from the same era as my memories of Aqua, so I kind of put them in the same category, I guess. I do agree they're different except for the superficial level. I'm still sure I'd have a hell of a time at an Aqua show.
And regarding Bjork, I've seen her live once and I would absolutely love to see her again. She puts on one hell of a show.

I just stickied this thread in the hopes of minimizing pointless new threads in which new posters announce that they heard Lady Gaga could possibly headline this year. In related news, we have six pages here, and I'm too lazy to read through them all. Do we have any actual rumors yet, or are you all just hellbent on making these threads as long as possible so the new posters see 50 pages, say "Fuck that," and make a new thread anyway? God damn it all.
