Swedish Chic '74
I've never been able to figure out why most of the best music hails from the seventies, yet most of the worst style does as well. How can one decade have given us both Funkadelic and the leisure suit? Alas, it's too deep a mystery for me to fathom. Here's another painful example: our northern bureau (Ari Sawyer) sent us this link of awful interiors from Sweden in the 1970's which I simply had to share. At least the Swedes are consistent, though—their music was awful back then too. Nowadays Stockholm is Mecca for jazz, rap and wild-ass indie rock, not to mention poetry and literature, and they invented the party boat to Talinn, and they give out these things called Nobel Prizes, and and they're even noble (heh heh) enough to let the Norweigians present the prestigous Peace Prize in Oslo. So the truth is Sweden rocks, and I suck. Nevertheless someone has to answer for these terrible designs. I say blame Ikea.Labels: Funkadelic, interior design, Nobel, Sweden, Talinn
