J: Hmm... from Stockholm... I can’t remember a band from Stockholm right now. But let me tell you some great bands from Sweden: Silverbullit, Broder Daniel and Refused.
favorite club?
J & O: We’re not going out that much in Stockholm. We are more the home party types. Since we are on tour our whole life is one big party, so we need to calm down when we’re back in Stockholm. Meet some friends, cook together, spend time with our girlfriends, stuff like this.
best day of the week in the city?
O: Tuesday! Because you need monday to recover from the weekend and on tuesday you’ll be probably able to go to work without being drunk anymore.
what should one eat when in the city?
J: Meatballs with mashed potatoes, lingoberry at «Prinsen». This is a classic brasserie at Mäster Samuelsgatan. Yummy!
where do you kiss the last time (or where would you like to)?

best movie that takes place in the city?
Jo: The Mods Trilogy by Stefan Jarl. It’s basically three parts of a documentary from 1968 about mods culture. It’s called «Dom kallar oss mods» and tells the story of Swedish mods.
favorite restaurant?
J: I really would recommend «Teatergrillen». It’s at Nybrogatan 3. It’s a small restaurant that serves light dishes.

Lasse Berghagen - Stockholm i mitt hjärta
J & O: Lasse Berghagen - «Stockholm i mitt hjärta» (Stockholm In My Heart)
favorite sports team?
J&O: Djurgarden (soccer team)
