聽Pelle Carlberg 或是Edson，轉眼間有十年嗎，也差不多了。聽【The Lilac time】，沒有了【in a nutshell】的爽勁與力量，反而是像封套舊相片的淡淡情懷。
現在PC的音樂，感覺像讀他定期出版的散文集，全是他的個人生活感受，有鬱鬱的，像《1983(Pelle & Sebastian)》的訴說童年往事的唏噓、《Whisper》的忽然深息、《Tired of being PC》對漸漸改變的自己的不滿。當然，仍然有充滿充默感的題材，像《Fly me to the Moon》便再現《go to hell, miss rydell》的幽默，「I’ll never fly with you Ryan」中的「Ryan」其實指Ryanair，又是最溫柔動聽的咒罵；《51,3》是在Facebook測出心靈年齡是51歲而引起的話題；《Stockholm vs Paris》是精簡地串「外國月亮特別圓」的媚外心理……
不過整張專輯最喜歡的，是串當代青年的《Because I’m worth it 》，或者人老了，總對新一代的年輕人看不過眼，是PC，也是我吧。
Because Im Worth It – Pelle Carlberg lyrics
You take your telephone
And dial up a speed loan
You pack your weekend bag
And head out in to the unknown
You get in a cab
But you don’t chichat with the driver
You flicker through a magazine
You want the jacket on the cover
Because I’m worth it
Because I’m worth it People
Because I’m worth it
Because I’m worth it People
You live inside the ring
You like organic yoghurt
And you would never dream
of living in the outskirts
You don’t like second best
And you download all your music
Your laptop is your gem
It would be stupid not to use it
Because I’m worth it
Because I’m worth it People
Because I’m worth it
Because I’m worth it People
They always get what they want
除了短小精桿，我不懂形容The Charade 這支瑞典樂團的《Keeping Up Appearances》，由intro的醒神鼓聲到簡單男女合唱便撞出奇妙效果的男女duet合唱，就讓你好好享受了這支只是二分多鐘的作品，和聲的運用實在妙得不得了，「people always seem to judge one another from a shallow point of view」，對呀對呀。
《Keeping Up Appearances》收錄於第三張大碟【Keeping Up Appearances】中，依然是瑞典的清新可口indie pop，加點懷舊，讓人想起Club 8。
經好友介紹而認識已經一陣子的挪威奧斯陸/stavanger的Duet Jeremy是玩有點懷舊而愜意的indie pop，早推出了debut【Smells Like Rain, Feels Like The Sun】。而最近在NRK Urørt收到最新的Podcast竟然又是他們。他們就是一點Kings of Convenience一點一貫的爽快青春的indie act再加入一點他們喜歡的The Beatles, The Beach boys等六七十年代經典名字，像《Move Love, not war》。
