The Book Swede in a Song!

So. A couple of weeks ago, John at Grasping for the Wind, who hosts and organises many of the discussions and cool things that go on between the bloggers, had an idea for a meme which has proved very popular and has so far collected almost 200 science-fiction and fantasy blogs, old and new. Now, I was woefully inattentive at the time, and didn't repost the meme here, but The Book Swede was lucky enough to have been included anyway...

And now it's in a song. John Anealio at Sci-Fi Songs has done it, and it's very good, and surprisingly catchy and fun. This is why he did it:

"Grasping for the Wind (The Linkup Meme Song)" is a tribute to all of the blogs that I read and to the wonderful people who I have had the pleasure of connecting with since I started Sci-Fi Songs.

And this is the song:

Now this may look just like a list a list of names, but such is John's talent that it's actually lyrical, sing-along-able to, and very, very cheery. I urge you to listen to it. You can download the song in mp3 format. And you must visit Sci-Fi Songs. I haven't been too great in my linking to things, and general doing things, or commenting on my fellow bloggers' blogs, or mentioning the new blogs that are emerging, but, well, listen to this song, read the meme, and have fun :)
