Compilation As hinted in a previous post, here is my latest custom made compilation. The theme for this one is jet travel in the late 60s / early 70s – which basically means lots of delicious strings, brass and funky bass lines in every form. This is the kind of music you would listen to when jet-setting around the globe first class in a Boeing 747. For all you airline buffs out there, I have included a bit of Pan American jet flight history as a bonus track. The compilation clocks in at about 70 minutes and features 25 tracks in total. Tracklist 01. Yoshinori Sunahara – Theme from Take-Off 02. The Alan Tews Orchestra & ( continue reading... )

Täby Centrum in 1976 – With Kitschy Shopping Music

Nov 10th 2006 by Christopher

Stores This is a cut from a educational promotion film that explains some aspects on why Täby Centrum was built. The film is in Swedish and narrated by the architect of the center who explains some particulars about it.

Most of the Domus stores are gone today or have been renamed Coop, which is the new brand for the KF owned stores. Täby Centrum ( continue reading... )

Travel Here are some more swank retro air travel photos. Just look at the cool interiors and colors of those Boeing 707′s and 747′s!

Roadtrip I got a e-mail today from Lasse who has been a frequent visitor to my blog and really likes the postcards and music I post here. So he was nice enough to supply me with three scanned postcards from Helsingborg from the 1960s to help continue my Swedish 1960s marathon. Helsingborg was a major boat hub to Denmark until the Öresund Bridge was completed in ( read more... )
