Beagle - the band not the dog - and Metro Jets

I was listening to Sirius (Left of Center I think) and heard a great song by a band called "Beagle" I thought it was new music and I was psyched to hear a band doing XTC style pop stuff. Come to find out this morning after tracking them down, they are a Swedish band from the early 90's.

Anyone up here know them?

After searching for Beagle, I looked too see what the singer Magnus Borjeson was up too and guess what? He has a really awesome band called Metro Jets.

REALLY great stuff!
