Does anyone have a link to Tigerdrottningen on iTunes yet? I can't find anything on the UK one. Was wondering if it was showing in other countries (I expect it's on the Scandinavian versions, or maybe not...)

Never heard of that. Mind, I know about the expressions "gråsosse" or "betongsosse", which like sosse have been more used by their opponents (also from the more green or anarchist left) but nowadays are used by social democrats too (with irony or maybe to "disarm" the word).
In the song though, I am quite sure that sosse does not refer to boringness. More likely, sossestad just describes a town that is not open to other world views than the party's (as does nymoderat öken!).
For the rest of what you wrote, I think you described the last 100 years well.
Ba-ba-da-ba-da-ba-di-di
I imagine this is what will happen on Wednesday. Nothing in UK yet.
I guess it depends on what environment you're from, perhaps. In my experience the word in itself is quite derogatory, though as you say it is also used by social democrats themselves and yes 'gråsosse' is the specific term for the bureaucratic boringness I mentioned.
And thanks!
Have been pondering the lyrics to Godhet. The line 'Jag bröt mig in i himlen' I've translated as 'I broke in the sky' which I think might sound better if I change it to 'I broke in to heaven' since there's a reference to an angel shortly after 'En stalker mot en ängel' (a stalker against an angel) and heaven/angels tie better together than sky/angels.
Thoughts?

I have changed it to now read heaven. It was bothering me!

Are we ready people?
It's so quiet in here. The album is released in a couple of hours (or an hour, Swedish time), feels weird that there's not more activity. Where are you all???
I'm hoping that every time I open my emails that the dispatch message will be there from Amazon...Still nothing
And my internet is sluggish tonight. Terrified to switch the router off and on incase it won't come back on, and then I'll have no hope of checking Spotify later on.

I would have thought that the album would appear at some point before 12pm (ish...) UK time and I guess being a general release it will follow Spotify's usual schedule? Or is it specifically a midnight release?

Would that be 12-ish swedish time, or our time (can they do that- different times for different regions)? Have got Spotify open just now in the hope something will appear. Since I'm new to Spotify, what is their 'usual schedule'?
No tweets from kent today, I know they were rehearsing for the tour, they're probably having a party somewhere right now!

Generally (and I suppose this is totally different) but if a standard album comes out in the UK, it appears on a shelf somewhere at 9am in the shops. Meanwhile on Spotify, that will then appear sometime between 11am and 1pm UK time on the same day. I don't know why that is but it is just what I have noticed as a heavy user of it.
Ah, so there might not be much point in me sitting up till midnight in the hope of an initial listen before I go to sleep?

Spotify, NOW!
Well, all the songs have appeared. Not available yet.
