Ok, let's do it.

Escape

After playing only one song at the Bandit Awards. Me and Bone fled the field for some serious drinking at ROCKS.

Movin' on up!

Hehe!

A friend of mine found this picture today and thought it looked like me.

Somehow I agree but more like an inverted version of me.

Once again they got it wrong. Well, well it's another cover.

Breakfast in Bed

Christmas lasts until easter

After a quick nap at the hotel we had dinner and with the dessert I got a Line 6 POD X3 as a belated christmas gift. It's my lucky day.

Sightseeing

When we arrived in Tallinn, Lincoln came to pick us up with an extra stretch advantage. Limo, Moet, Tallinn and Jeanette. 2009 here we come!

Yippeee!

After a wonderful night at Berns Hotel in Stockholm I finally found out where Jeanette is taking me for New Years. We're going to Tallin in Estonia and we're staying there until Friday. I'm so happy I'm about to explode. It's only 45 minutes before the plane takes off:) Happy New Years everyone.

Harry B James

Me and Jeanette started our new years holidays with a pint at Harry's

Behind the scenes

When Skinny bin Ladin goes barhopping with Jesper.

Sunday at work

Here I am at Mosebacke just wishing the time could fly a little bit faster. Tomorrow Jeanette is coming and we're spending the night at Bern's Hotel before it's time for her to reveal her christmas present. I'm really curious what it is. We're going away for 48 hours. The only real clues I've got so far is that we'll not be in Stockholm and I need to bring warm clothes, bathing shorts, a camera, pen and paper, passport and guitarpicks. Hmmm... I wonder what it could be.

An old memory

My favorite drink used to be Jack & Ginger. I went down to ROCKS today and got it "my way" as Sinatra would have said it: Jack, ginger, angostura and no lime.

Merry Xmas Everyone!

Opeth

Yesterday I met up with DaKe at the Opeth show and it ended up as a classic Skinny/DaKe gathering... It was nice to see Mike, Anna, Melinda and the rest of the band again, it's always too long in between the times we meet.

Part II of the studio report

Now, ladies and gentlemen you get to see how hard we were working in the studio while finishing Night Electric Night.

These sessions are filmed in Future Legends Studio and ToyTown Studios.

Deathstars in the studio 2008

Mr Handyman!

I'm so god damn proud of myself today. A couple of weeks ago Whip 'accidently' bumped into my MacBook so that my screen broke. Today I replaced my screen with his old MacBook screen and saving us 700 € in repairs. Now I can see again:-)

Last years costume

For those of you who don't remember my look last Halloween.

This is Halloween

After last years success when I dressed up like Sponge Bob I felt a big pressure to make something good out of this year as well.

So me and Jeanette came up with the splendid idea of going as Barbie & Ken.

Before going to the party we went to see Pernilla Andersson playing at Södra Teatern. She just released an album entirely in Swedish and I'm looking forward to hear it.

After a pizza and a couple of beers we finally took a taxi down to Metro where this years NMA Halloween Ball took place.

Enjoy the photos!

Video shoot

On Friday I woke up at 8 AM.

Hurried away for a meeting at Street before joining up with Bone, Nightmare and Whip at Mosebacke.

They explained Cat missed his train to Stockholm. This was an interesting start of this journey.

Even though flying with Bones "favorite" airline (JAT) we made it safe to Belgrade with just a minor balance problem.

While Whip and Nightmare were doing interviews I took the opportunity to take a nap in my room. When I woke up and stepped outside I met Cat who just arrived. He had been traveling from Karlstad to Copenhagen and then to Berlin before finally arriving at his final destination in Belgrade.

We managed to squeeze in some food and beer time before going to bed.

On Saturday we started shooting the video around noon and finished about 10 PM.

Feeling very good about our selves we got out clubbing until way too early on Sunday morning.

It was probably hard to wake me up and because of this we barely made it in time for the flight. 

Well on the plane I fell a sleep and woke up in Stockholm.

After collecting our luggage and passed the security I decided not to go home immediately. So I went up to departure hall and ordered a flight to Oslo.

3 hours later I met up with Jeanette at Gardemoen airport.

Much better than coming home to an empty apartment.

So after dinner at Sara's we bought some ice cream and got comfortable in front of the TV.

I got back to Stockholm today at 1:30 PM and went straight to Mosebacke.

Photoshoot with Steve Brown

Today has been really fun even though I only got three hours of sleep and it looked like the other guys didn't have much more either.

The clothes we got from Freya and Ogg was amazing. We got help with makeup from Petra who did a great job and Steve was so easy to work with.

I have a very good feeling that these pictures will come out wicked as hell.

Party!

On Friday it was Ewelinas birthday and we just finished mixing and mastering the album so I joined up with a quite happy gang around 1 AM.

When the bar closed I insisted on more drinks so we went home to my place for Jim Beam & Coke and the wonderful splatter classic "Terror Firmer".

I got up around 2 PM and realized quickly that I had to be at KGB for our listening session in an hour.

About 20 journalists from all over Europe showed up but the bigger part of the Swedish press had better things to do (hmm).

After the listening session we went to Monks for dinner, very nice.

We finished the night at ROCKS and I was already home and in bed by 2 AM.

Luckily I didn't have too much to do today so I found my old Playstation 2 and got stuck with that for several hours.

Later tonight we'll meet up with Ogg and Freya who put down all they're free time to make us look good for the upcoming album. 

Back in Oslo

I got to Oslo late on Thursday evening. After the usual beer at Elm Street we went home to bake cinnamon buns.

On Friday evening we had Helena and Dag over for buns & ice cream drinks... many hours later we stumbled down to Unholy with full stomachs to meet up with Kalle who's moving to Stockholm on Monday.

We stayed in almost the whole Saturday and I'm going home again this afternoon :(

Remix for Acey Slade

I recently finished a remix of Acey Slades song "Reptile House" that is gonna be on his upcoming EP.

This is what he wrote in his blog on http://www.myspace.com/aceyslademusic 

"Acey just received the remix of 'Reptile House' done by Skinny from Deathstars and is very excited for you all to hear it! 'Man, Skinny stepped up to the plate on this one! Last night I went over to Stakka's (Aceys producer) house to catch up a little. We have 2 songs to finish and then we are DONE with the album! Anyway, he just had a daughter so we put the process on hold for a couple of weeks. 2 Surprises awaited me at Stakkas. 1-His daughter did not recoil in the pure evil of my presence. 2-Skinny from Deathstars was sending his remix via IM. One of the surprises was fresh and beautiful. The other was dark and groovy. I'll leave it to you as to which was which.' This fall Acey will release an EP called, 'Sex, Murder, Art, Baby!'. The EP will have new songs, exclusive tracks and remixes by Skinny (Deathstars), Loopy (H.U.G.), Speedranch, and a special re-mix by Piggy D (Evacuation Plan and Rob Zombie) with some help from Aceys friends and fiends. Live shows and a full length album are in the future. Musically Acey describes it as 'Quasi Glam Ubber Dance Rock'."

At the Gates

Yesterday the gang met up and went to see one of the best bands in the world...

DJ set

Last night I had a DJ set at Live Unsigned, Mosebacke Etablissement in Stockholm.

This is what it looked like :)
