SONG OF THE DAY (#184)

'beauties never die,' by sissy wish

since i've been giving so much love to sweden lately, i figured it might be nice to throw some love at norway. i don't want them to feel lonely or anything. but first things first: i have to admit that i have zero clue what sissy wish means. is it literal? metaphorical? what do sissies wish for? is it just a big joke? ee gad! who knows. i guess it doesn't really matter in the end 'cos these are some groovy songs. 'eclectic' is a word that comes to mind, but that's not to suggest it's unlistenable. oh, contraire! she's giving her swedish neighbors a run for their pop kronas. (and is me, or does dwts sound like a long lost missing persons song? i'm just sayin'.) underneath the kitchen sink production are some pretty tight pop tunes.

the facts: sissy wish is the nom-de-pop of siri alberg, a nice young lady who inhales helium on the weekends and proves that not all scandanavian girls aren't blonde. who knew? (i'm kidding.) she released 'the six feet tall' (i can neither confirm nor deny that she is six feet tall) e.p. back in 2003 and she won the spellemannsprisen--the norweigan equivalent of the grammy--for her debut album, 'you may breathe' (2005). maybe it's just me, but i'd like to win a pronounceable award. but hey, any award is better than no award. in the meantime, enjoy yourself some sissy wish.

oh, yeah: these songs all come from her great, newest album, 'beauties never die.' it's a great record. you won't regret buying it. actually, i don't think it's even available in the US yet. you might have to dig a little, so go get a spade.
