Re: (TV) Tomas Transtrvmer (was: Raven sucks)

I'll see if I've kept some of them in my basement. At least, I think I have 
a copy of Swedish rock mag Schlager where in interview with TV appeared in 
80' or 81' - prior to the release of WFTF. I also have memories of the radio 
interview that the Swedish chap Per mentioned in a message earlier this 
evening.

Per, by the way, lives on one of Sweden's island, mostly known for being 
almost non-populated by humans and well-populated by sheeps. The people 
there also talk with an extremely strange dialect - like Gaelish to 
Englishmen. If I had to live under such circumstances, I WOULD consider to 
kill myself!
