Sweeping the nation?

I like to think I have my finger somewhere near the pulse of things (on the arm if not actually on the wrist), so I was a tad shocked by the front page headline on the City freesheet: Everybody loves Finnish tango.

Are Olavi Virtu tribute concerts selling out Globen?

Are naisentanssi clubs popping up like mushrooms?

Is there a new sensation sweeping the nation?

Much though I love Finnish tango, I do feel that this was perhaps a tad hyberbolic.

Talking of Sweeping the nation, that's the name of this fab blogspot which has four hours of fab indie Xmas music to download. A real labour of love.

It would be impolite to say no!
