(I've been getting reports that my busted computer (on which all of my shit is stored, I really should do backups every now and then) is on the mend. When, and if, I get it back I can remuse posting as usual. Until then, here's a blast from the past. A post originally posted on this here blog in October of 2009. Enjoy. I know I will)
Click here if you want to know more about bob hund, one of the best and more original bands to ever walk the earth. bob hund has a habit of covering songs in their native tongue Swedish and quite often injecting them with an energy the originals perhaps lacked.
Here we have them covering The Stooges (I Wanna Be Your Dog), Pere Ubu (The Final Solution), The Third Bardo (Five Years Ahead Of My Time) and The Velvet Underground (Guess I'm Falling In Love).
Enjoy!

And as a little bonus I'll throw in a gig bob hund did in London on May 23rd 2001. A quite bizarre gig where frontman Thomas Öberg (Iggy Pop and David Yow rolled into one) spent most of the evening speaking Swedish. Sure there were a lot of Swedes in the audience that night, but you have to wonder how the limeys felt about it.
If the noise inbetween songs is anything to go by it appears they liked it though. I'm sure you will too - an hour of excellent, eccentric rock 'n' roll. I cannot stress how highly I recommend this.
