Comment:

The full title is "'The Journey from Upsalla to Budapest Begins' or The Department of Central, Northern and Eastern European Studies." Made for my baby, who is a masters student in said department. The content (and title) is meant to reflect a)her studies - she is specializing in German culture, but she is also the department's Swedish instructor, and b)a recent trip she took to Germany and Sweden (with a brief stopover in Copenhagen, hence the two songs from Denmark). She also went to Budapest, but unfortunately I couldn't find any Hungarian or Hungarian themed music (I don't even have Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody lying around). The selections not from either Germany, Sweden or Denmark are evidently there because their content somehow reflects those nations. The codes after the artist names are derived from those classic nationality denoting oval bumper stickers that can be used the world over, but are most prominent in Europe - (D)=Germany; (S)=Sweden; (DK)=Denmark; (GB)=Britain; (J)=Japan; and (USA)=the World's Beat Cop. She likes classical music, so I tried to skew some of my picks from some of the more out-there Krautrock groups towards that spectrum, but hey, she's also pretty open-minded (and pretty), so I'm sure she'll like it. P.S. - I'm not a big fan of Swedish Political Pop-Punk, but the Randy song has to go on there for obvious reasons (also the title kills me).

Oops. I guess that's something you would have firsthand knowledge of p. Should've checked my postcards before posting. Duly noted. And since I'm making corrections, I've been informed by the recipient that it's actually the Department of Central, Eastern and Northern European Studies. Oh well.
