Spunk, in Swedish:
The word "spunk" is taken from the books about Pippi Longstocking, written by the Swedish children's book author Astrid Lindgren. The story goes like this.

So a spunk can be anything, anything we like.

Spunk, the artist, originates from the dark woods in the north of Sweden, but is now located in a small cabin in the archipelago in the outskirts of Stockholm.

One of Spunk's many words of wisdom are subsequently: Use bad records to make good music.
