Well, you certainly didn't have to twist my arm to get me to watch tonight's televised event. The interviews with Bjorn and Benny were wonderful, and I loved, loved, loved the clips we saw of the four of them rehearsing and recording in the studio, then performing the 22 songs slated for their new concert tour in those funky motion-capture suits! Awesome that they are having their own dedicated 3 000-seat arena built in London. Not many bands or celebrities could pull that off and be certain of decades of continuous, profitable pilgrimages. I've pre-ordered my deluxe CD set, and my daughters are chuffed! Oh, and the two new songs they released? Not immediate earworms, but definitely pure ABBA gold. Reminds me of Mr. Moulding's latest efforts -- it's like they picked up exactly where they'd left off. For a synopsis of the special and the interview, as well as the 'making of' video and the two tunes: The Guardian: Abba Reunite for Voyage

Which one is Colin? And why is Eddie Izzard there? But Benny still looks fab.

Hard to tell which one's Eddie, since none is wearing a dress.

I am glad you are happy about this! Isn't it nice to get excited about music by artists you have loved for a long time? I'm not a fan, but try to keep me from dancing when their music is playing!

Right after I paid for the plane tickets and booked some B&Bs, I went ahead and bought myself a ticket for one of their shows in May. You'll find me on the dance floor, hopefully right in front of the stage so that the live musicians, dancers and back-up vocalists get a giggle out of of my Elaine Benes imitation.

That's about a skillful as I can dance too. Work those thumbs.

Keep it in your pants, Terra. This isn't an ABBA concert; we have standards around here, and I don't mean Waterloo.
