well, Jens Lekman has quickly become one of my favorites ("black cab" and "maple leaves" are classics), and i'm really liking what i'm hearing from The Knife
 
 here's a couple of good last.fm groups:

 http://www.last.fm/group/Swedish%20Music (http://www.last.fm/group/Swedish%20Music)
 
 and a dj night in brighton that plays swedish indie:

Very cool, there were plenty of Nordic / Scandanavian nights at SxSW (check the site www.sxsw.com). (http://www.sxsw.com).)
 I like Saybia (probably "too poppy" to some...), Moonbabies, Teitur (grab more recent stuff)...I can't remember what else, but I've found a bit I like off of Myspace.

It's a Trap (http://www.itsatrap.com/index.php) is an excellent blog that covers the Scandinavian music scene.
 
 and  Rockfoto (http://www.rockfoto.nu/) is a good site for pictures of Scandinavian rock
  concerts. (in English and Swedish)

Hence the "Oldie but goodie."  Thanks for policing the posts.
