Montt Mardié, for everyone who hasn’t been eagerly awaiting this best of (ie, everybody), is a Swedish singer-songwriter who recently gained some notoriety by hopping on the Pirate Bay bandwagon with a rousing song supporting their cause. “Don’t write songs for money/I write them for people to sing along”, he bleats. Or is this the most fatuous case of faux-right-on self-promotion since ‘In Rainbows’? You decide! As far as this superfluous ‘Best Of’ goes, he is to the great lineage of Swedish pop stars what Little Boots is to Blondie: smug, ineffectual nonsense. ‘Names Not Forgotten’ is particularly gross slop, like High School Musical scored by Keane, coming soon to an episode of Scrubs probably. Yuck.
