The Story of ABBA RedBubble Shop!

In preparation for the Story of ABBA for Young Readers, coming out in one month, I've opened up a shop on RedBubble to sell artwork that didn't make it into the final product.  http://www.redbubble.com/people/abbafan456?asc=u  I'll be putting out more as it gets closer to the release date.  This picture which I currently have up for sale is of ABBA in 1977.  The original image was used for the "Take A Chance On Me/I'm A Marionette" single.

Happy 71st birthday, Frida!

Wishing the happiest of birthdays to our dear Princess Frida, and many many more to come!  I hope she has a fantastic day! <3  Thank you for the music, Frida!

The Sun's Shining in the Middle of the Night

This has got to be by far one of my favorite Tomas Ledin songs!  Agnetha and Frida's voices in the background are gorgeous!

ABBA's Return in Digital - My thoughts

I'm sure you've all heard the news about ABBA's Digital return!  In case you hadn't, you can read about it here.  And no, ABBA are NOT reuniting.  (A lot of people seem to be confused about that.)

At first when I first heard the news, it didn't sound to exciting to me.  But now that I've given it some thought, it sounds like such an amazing idea, plus it gives fans of this generation (like me) a chance to be able to see ABBA in concert again!

I'm still a bit confused as to how this is going to work, whether ABBA are going to take old live recordings or record new audio completely!  It's most likely the first one, since I don't think ABBA are gonna be recording anything new.  I heard some rumors that ABBA will be releasing a 1977 live album next year, so I'm thinking that maybe they're using the 1977 audio for this project! :D  That would be really cool!

I'm also quite surprised to see that a lot of fans aren't too happy about Digital ABBA.  They say that it's going to be dumb, but they don't have an basis to be saying that.  None of us even know what it's going to be like!  I say we give it a chance, and I'm sure that it's going to be amazing!  I'm really looking forward to seeing what ABBA have for us in the coming year!
