Singlespeed competitions and music

Ah, just back from Avignon for the European singlespeed champs - came last, which is a triumph of sorts, right?

Supplies for the ride down Ventoux
Anyway, one of the great side effects of going to singlespeed championships is hearing foreign music that you probably wouldn't have encountered otherwise - last year in Sweden I was sat in a cafe on the top of the Vanity (a hill in Stockholm) and was introduced to Sophie Zelmani, and in France this weekend, heard the slightly melancholy tones of Axelle Red.
Otherwise, still trying to get some of Raymond och Maria's Swedish music in the UK - it's harder than it sounds, which is gutting, as I love the English versions, but I've a feeling the original Swedish ones must be even better...
