I am proud to announce that I am part of the Friendly Noise Mp3-series that in a very generous manner has enlightened the year 2007 with free and exciting new music every month. This fall I've been busy recording a new album that in the end didn't appeal to me as an album. However there where a few tracks that I just couldn't leave behind and two of them are now free for you to download at the Friendly Noise-site.

Hello. I've noticed that there's a lot of people from all over the world dowloading my album. It's very funny that my music gets to travel where I probably won't. I've only been out of Europe once to visit USA and Cuba and doesn't know a lot of people outside of Sweden. If anyone of you are reading this please let me know how you found out about my record and what you think about it. Even though It's very funny that the record is distributing itself out there I sometimes feel a bit excluded.

Since there won't be no second edition of "Oh! My Spine" I've decided to offer you to download it instead. For free of course. Selling digital files is to me a huge step backwards in every aspect. So feel free spread the music and tell your friends about it if it appeals to you. Go there

"Oh! My Spine" is now sold out which of course is pleasant but also a bit strange since the release date is on monday. If I ever will do another record I might have to do a larger edition.

51 one copies of my album have been ordered, manufactured and packaged in 48 hours. It's way more than I expected and I'm actually starting to regret that I sent some promo-copies to journalists earlier this week. If you want a copy of "Oh! My Spine" this might be a good time to order because all of the 100 copies wont be for sale and I've got no plans to make any second edition of it.

This is the news: My new record "Oh! My Spine" will be released on March 28th. Before that, probably some late night in next week, the new website with pictures and some texts will be published.

I am working on a new album that will be released later this spring I hope. I am done and very satisfied with the recordings but still working on some details about the release. The music is more sample-based than before and also more diverse I think.

The news is that I'm back from the U.S.-Cuba trip in love with the revolution and filled up with hate. The American people treated us well and feed us like we where guerilla warriors. I'm glad to be back even though it's seems to be impossible to get an apartment in this city and I'm soon homeless.

I've made my first remix ever and you can download it from my myspace-site. It's a remix of my neighbour Bruno Bran's "Kamraten Mittemot". I will truly miss hearing him singing and playing through the floor when we'll get kicked out of here.

Me and my Lisa is joining the Cuba Caravan this summer to challenge USA's blockade against Cuba. The blockade is an immoral policy that uses hunger and disease as political weapons and we will collect aid in USA to ship over to Cuba as a political act of solidarity whith their people. We will be travelling with one of the busses from New York to Mexico and then over to Cuba. Hopefully we will do some inteviews and field recordings during the trip and maybe it will end up as something you'll get a chance to hear in the future. You can read more about the Caravan here: http://www.ifconews.org/Cuba/caravan17/main.htm

Further, I wish everyone a nice summer. Take some care

Yesterday I made a trip to Stockholm where I played at the poetry-festival. On the train I happily found myself being entertained by the actor Jan Nyman for almost three hours. He told me all about his life and career and ended up with an advice to me as an young performing artist "Always make sure you get your free meals properly". In Stockholm I filled the lobby, where I played, with noisy pop. No time for neither poetry or free meals but on the train home I rediscovered David Sylvian's masterpiece, Blemish. Nothing like the Jan Nyman-experience but still quite breathtaking.

I made an inteview for digfi.com but it turned out too political for their taste. Anyhow it will be found in the first issue of the new magazine Ondskan instead. A new song is added to the download section. It's a short rework of the piano from Arthur Erikson and Värmlandskören - Somnar jag in med Blicken fäst.

-051115-
And I will also play at Stockholm International Poetry Festival the 28:th of november

A new song of mine called "The Days Before Lunch" will be found on a new complication from the delicious label Friendly Noise later this year.
I've also updated the download-section with two new, new songs and added some kind of anger management-section for my own good. An animated video is being made for one of the songs on "Friendly Fire".

The release date for "Friendly Fire" is no longer set to 19th october, but it will probably be out in october or november
Yesterday i made an appearance (as a runner) at the annual Race for Peace in Gothenburg. A great way to support the Palestinian struggle against the wall and the occupation. I made it quite well. I almost died for their sake.

This is not a blog of any kind but yesterday I saw Stefan Jarl's film "Muraren" about Thommy Berggren and I loved it. And Roy Andersson was so good looking in the late sixties I almost burst into tears, and I normaly don't. Who's handsome today?
