Maybe it started with Swedish based companies like Ikea,Absolut Vodka,H&M and Ericsson captivating our furnishings, drinks,
discount fashion and cellular communication but now the Swedish influence has extended to other areas of our culture.

Robert Palmer's music is great for any dinner or cocktail party you are having. Too bad his music been overlooked these past few years because his eclectic mix of soul, reggae, rock and funk is great.

This month we have selected a diverse group of books from a classic, biography, Coffee table book, Cookbook, fiction, to humorous essays about modern motherhood. October, although a traditionally a busy month, truly begins a great reading season.

It’s almost the start of fall but in our minds summer still lingers on for a little bit and our Reading Glasses selections reflect that transition with two novels, a biography and a great champagne cocktail recipes book.

Often September feels like the beginning of a new year. After summer we are ready to begin work, school and start new endeavors. Fall Fashions are introduced (although because of the insane retail calendar often fall clothes arrive in July) and our cultural year begins with new art exhibits, serious fall movies, the new television season and important books and music are released.

It is also a good time to look back at the year so far and pick out some music that might have been overlooked or that deserves another look or listen. Two of my favorite bands U2 and Wilco have albums that fall into this category. My third pick for September is Yo La Tengo’s new album Popular Songs that is really good introduction to this veteran indie band.
