Malmö Malmö

This Saturday, me, Joakim Söderström and Patrik Berg will make the streets of Malmö unsafe as we head down there to do a show at Debaser. The club is called Get Laid or Die Trying. We are bringing our camcorders along and will make a little road movie for you early next year. If you're in the south of Sweden this weekend, join the fun!

Skaizerkite, Strings and Hanna Lovisa

Me and Hanna Lovisa recorded a duet for the album yesterday. The song is called "Unknown Pleasures" and turned out almost too brilliant for its own good. Today we recorded strings for six songs, which also turned out real nice.
I think I've figured out the title for the album. In the The Cure-song "High" I always thought Robert sang "When I see you, Skaizerkite" but I recently found out that what he really is singing is "When I see you sky-as-a-kite". So, that beautiful, eastern europe sounding word is all mine. Skaizerkite, mmm.

I was 8 and my heart was broken

No more I love you's

It feels like I've been eaten alive. I stumbled over Annie Lennox' "No more I love you's" for three weeks ago. I had of course heard it before then, but for the first time I really listened to it and I just fell apart. It's been on repeat since then and everything else then listening to it has felt utterly meaningless. I'm slowly returning to life again and to day I listened to some Simon and Garfunkel, which was great. During these weeks the work with the album has continued as planed. I forced myself to focus on what's important, even though I wanted nothing more then to put my headphones back on and turn up the volume. I don't really know a lot about Annie Lennox, except that she has a great name and that her "greatest hits" album is a goldmine. I wish I could sing like her. Talk soon.

Long time no blog

There is a reason for my silence. I'll write about it soon. Untill then, listen to this song again and again and again and again.

The party that lasted for 50 years

This weekend was great. Friday evening, we set up drums in the studio and Saturday morning we started to record the drum track for "I Love You Annie". It sounds really cool. Saturday evening we had a party, celibrating that both me and Linda are turning 25 this year. It was an amazing event. Unfortunately I forgot to pick up my camcorder. Oh well, the film will just have to start in some other way. Sunday morning, with an enormous hangover, we were in the studio again, recording drum tracks for "Welcome to Stalingrad", "Click Click" and "One Kiss". Tonight we'll continue. I'm really exited 'bout the new songs. In my mind the whole album will sound like a 50 minute version of "Walking on Sunshine". Well, maybe not the entire album, but a big part of it! Now I'm gonna have breakfast and watch the latest episode of The Ultimate Fighter. Then I'll work on some lyrics. Stay sweet.

Red and yellow and it's getting colder

I'm listening to a terrific audiobook right now. The Lurker at the Threshold by H.P. Lovecraft. Beautiful and dark. Outside my window, trees are turning red and yellow and it's getting colder and colder out there. I love autumn. Soon winter will sweep in and ruin it, but right now it's almost heartbreaking.
Soon I'll be finished with all the lyrics for the new album. For some reason they are all quite nostalgic. I've gotten a few very good suggestions for the album title so far. A lot of fun. Keep them coming!

The Power of The Dark Side

I see this and I melt!

Amazing!

Lights, Camera, Action!

Today, my new camcorder arrived. A Sony HDR-HC9. And so it begins. My friend and co-producer Johan Kronlund is in Greece for a week. So we've put the studio sessions on hold and will pick it up this weekend. Which is good, cause I'll get a chance to really check it out and learn how to use the camera. This whole filming buisness is kind of making me a bit nervous. I've never done anything like i before. Hopefully it'll work out fine. I'm throwing a party this friday. I guess that would be a good thing to start off the film with!

Here's a list of songs we are recording for the third album:

1. Welcome to Stalingrad
2. Last Year in Marienbad
3. One Kiss
4. Click Click
5. Dancing Shoes
6. 10 years ago, 10 years from now
7. Unknown Pleasures
8. The Stares of The House That Haunted This Town
9. My Valentine
10. Anything can happen in California
11. Do You Remember Annabelle?
12. I Love You Annie

Looks good.
