| MAD April 1960 |
Rogue was a Chicago-based men's magazine published by William Hamling from December 1955 until 1967.
The magazine was a direct competitor to Playboy, offering nude and semi-nude photographs plus sex advice aimed at a male audience. Rogue featured a wider array of fiction and science fiction, along with much coverage of jazz. |

| Siw Malmkvist in the Database |
I have finally added a major part of Siw Malmkvist's singles in the database.
Siw is a Swedish singer, during mid-sixties, maybe even more popular in Germany than in Sweden.
She had a great number one hit in West Germany in 1964 with "Liebeskummer lohnt sich nicht" (translated: "Lovesickness doesn't pay off"). In July that same year, she became the first Swede to have a hit on the US Billboard chart with "Sole Sole Sole", a duet with Italian singer Umberto Marcato.
Siw appeared twice in the Eurovision Song Contest, 1960 for Sweden ("Alla andra f?varann") and 1969 for West Germany ("Primaballerina").
All together, she has had some 40 hits on Swedish radio chart "Svensktoppen" and 20 hits on the German singles chart.
The Magazine cover and images below is from a photo session in 1968. The pseudo-article written by Tommy Engstrand, claims that "sex" was the new password for her international career. A british promotion, and eventually, an american one, was planned. But Siw never hit the british charts, and she didn't need it.
