Anders Östberg is from Sweden. He lives in a pretty small town a good car’s ride west of Stockholm. Wooden houses are painted in colors flaming red or nature green. And there’s houses that don’t add anything special to the village. Maybe there is nothing special at all about the small town he lives in. But ‘special’ is a prerogative held by those who are looking for something unique.

We got that.

I know Anders personally. I can say that he is gifted with a fine-tuned bullshit-detector. I also know he has a collection of records on vinyl that could turn his small town into the center of the world. Recently I read an article in The Paris Review, called Crazy Music. It was about one of those records that are hard to come by: Oar by Skip Spence. The article was by Dan Piepenbring. I am sure Anders would get intrigued if he found a record by Dan Piepenbring. I was also sure he already had the Skip Spence record.

In fact:
“Yes I have the album. Found the LP in a flea market some 30 years ago. Bad scratching marks that skips on B-side. The music is good but not THAT great that every hip blogster say. I have many records in my vinyl collection I prefer before this one that are more odd, bizarre and strange.”

More odd, bizarre and strange is what you will get in Anders’ show: “Children, Elves and a Tree Person, Music from my Collection.”
