Liv, a friend of mine since over 8 years back is the singer of the band The Guilty Ones. A while back they released the video to their debut single All There Is from the upcoming album Guilty As…, and a few days later I got a special first print out of the single in the mail. It’s amazing, and getting even better the more you listen to it. The video is also really cool, and gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling inside.

Go ahead, have a look & listen!

If you like it, you might be interested to know that The Guilty Ones are performing live at Debaser Medis together with Joel Alme and Birgit Bidder in Stockholm April 17th.

Yesterday my old friend Dossen came to visit. After strolling through town, visiting comic book shops and having lunch, we later went to Glen Miller Café together with Marianne.

The food was great (as always), the music (Sara Hedman Kvartett) was classy and temperature was high. We all had a good time, and later went back to my place and was joined by Fredde.

The photos below are from both mine and Dossens cameras (his is way better), and I just had to do a photoshop version of something I have wanted to to for years: put a lightsaber in the hand Karl XIV Johan’s statue at Slussen, Stockholm.

I got an SMS the other day from Simon, guitarist in Blindside, that they are having a free concert tonight (February 5) in Stockholm.
The place is Lilla Hotellbaren (Scandic Malmen) at Medborgarplatsen.
They are on stage around 21:00-22:00, but it might be a good idea to be there as the place only takes 500 people.

Aside from Blindside, others that are playing are the Johan Kjellberg – PENSIONATET 18.00-21.00 and Daniel Howe (Superdiskant) & Johan Ljungberg (Thelma/Louise) 22.00-02.00.

Sounds like fun!

Update:

The concert was good! Place was packed, sound was fine and Blindside was full of energy as usual.

Took some pictures as well.

My brother had a combined 100-drumset-anniversary, birthday and going-away party yesterday.

As a gift I wrote, arranged and and recorded a song for and about him: Freddesången (click the small play button to stream directly)

Good food, Good wine, Good friends, Good times!

This Friday me and some friends went to an event taking place in the Stockholm Culture House.

The small 30SEK fee gave you entrance to a large amount of short concerts, performances, movies, exhibitions and such.

Especially good were:

• George Kentros & Matthias Peterson, with an interpretation of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons that involved sampling a live violin and playing back distorted loops – Industrial Violin!
• Abalone Dots, playing bluegrass with a touch of Swedish Folk Music – Softgrass.
• Short film festival – Oue!
• Klubb Sunkit – the club for odd and forgotten pop music – Muzak, Easy Listening, Exotica and Swedish Dance Band.

After a couple of hours we all needed to go somewhere more quiet, so we went to Kasper for beer.
