​What, exactly, is "Gangster Beef"? Don't look at me--you should probably ask Swedish indie pop group Loney, Dear's front man Emil Svanängen--he encountered the delicacy while on tour in Denmark. His group was on the road when I approached them to participate in our iTunes Questionnaire, so instead of sending me their most-played iTunes songs, the band submitted a few photos from their recent travels.

As we say on the questionnaire, "taking a look at what a person actually listens to can be far more revealing than the songs we'd like to think define our listening habits." In the case of Loney, Dear, their photo diary shows snippets of a life and language a world away, but also reveals some universally funny--and adorable--scenes.

Don't miss Loney, Dear's show at Chop Suey this Saturday (3/24)--and will one of you be sure to take Emil out? He's apparently really looking forward to it.
