Close Up Boat 2010

Me, Night and Whip are hanging out in our suite. Comfortable bed I must say.

Rehearsing time day one

We're back in Future Legends studio for one last practice before we head over seas for Finland.

Rammstein

Right now me, Whip, Nightmare and the girls are watching Rammstein at Globen in Stockholm. The show is absolutely amazing as always. Afterwards we're gonna party a bit with the band before me and Whip has to go and DJ at ROCKS. P.A.R.T.Y!

Yay!

My favorite team, the guy on the right... they won:-)

Super Bowl

For the 2nd time in my life I'm watching Super Bowl. The New Orleans Saints are under 3 to 10 and I think I finally understood the basics of this game. Cheers!

Ice Ice Baby

Thåström is the king of swedish rock

Tourists Piss Off

After a well deserved breakfast we strolled on further to find a bloody mary and some pick-us-up-beers. We found a swiss bar that fulfilled the deed indeed.

Day one

Yesterday we started the at a punky pizzaplace called Due Forni. Then we went to say hi to Trinity and Loyd at Bassy where Josh T Paerson from Texas played. We ended the night at Die Alter Berlin to say hi to Dana and the rest of our friends. Appearantly I wanted to continue the party when we got back to the apartment. There were 4 opened untouched beers by the bed when I woke up.

This is the start of something dangerous

Today were on our way to Berlin for a well deserved health trip. The gang consists of DaKe, Damon, Conrad and me. We'll stay until Sunday and honestly I'm a bit nervous how this will end.

Number of the beast.

What can I say. I like even numbers after I tip. The food was good and spicy too... as usual.

Flying Dog

Happy days at Garlic and Shots. After a happy meeting with David Isberg and Whip I continued the night with the guys from Tiamat. I need to go home now;-)

69 Eyes

I managed to sneak away without waking up Ms Pedalsteel to see our friends in 69 Eyes together with Whip and Damon.
Happy-Helsinki-Vampire-Time!

Pedalsteel

No one can possibly have missed out on my 30 year crisis. Since May I've been practicing country licks on banjo and guitar many hours a day and today I recieved a new member to the family. This Carter pedalsteel needs a lot of attention from me in the future.
Yippie Kay Yay M.F.'s!

Christmas kills

After spending my holidays in Flekkefjord where I got fed to the brink of extension I got on the bus to Karlstad where we played yesterday.
I arrived an hour before show and when I walked into the dressingroom Whip had already poured me a cocktail. Cat gave me a Tshirt and a CD from Vain so I concluded that the christmas spirit was also spread into the little boys of Deathstars.
Now we're on our way back to Stockholm and we're just a little bit knocked out.

Holidays are coming.

Right now we're at Arlanda on our way to Flekkefjord, Norway. For some holiday celebration.

Todays album

Today I demand all of you to go and buy this brilliant album.

Santa Lucia

It's almost as if I get religious when David 'DaKe' Isberg surprices me with a christmas buffe like this.

Xmas Composing

Sorry for not blogging in a while.
I've been busy cleaning up my homestudio.
At the moment I'm working on a remix. I'll let you know more when the time is ready.

Samael

Tonight I'm meeting up with our friends from Paradise Lost and as a bonus Samael is supporting.

Party People

Me, Espen and Jeanette at Stravinsky yesterday night. The first evidence of what actually happened yesterday. Now we're back in Stockholm again after a bumpy flight home. Jeanette managed to faint in the security check and was rolled up by medical assistants to the gate in a wheelchair. Now she feels much better and we also managed to pop by a little girls 5 year birthday party. Dinner time!

Ooops!

Yesterday we were literally swimming in alcohol. Everything from Jägermeister and Champagne to beer and vodka was fighting to fit into my stomach.
Things got a bit blurry throughout the night and when we woke up this morning I found a big pool of pee all over the wall, floor and some of my clothes. The only anguish relief is that it's not my hotel room.

Ready to hit the streets of Oslo

Oslo Opera House

Nice view from our hotelroom

Locked and loaded

Today me and Jeanette left Stockholm to party in Oslo. Tonight it's time for the annual MSR model party.
Before we left we made sure to put a briefcase full of money in a safe place.

What I listen to right now.

I just want to tell everyone that doesn't own this album yet.
BUY IT!

KATATONIA - NIGHT IS THE NEW DAY

Crescendolls Live

Today I was very happy at work. I was doing sound for Crescendolls at Mosebacke. And as some of you know, the drummer Oscar "Thunder DeLaRenta" Leander helped us out on our final shows this year when Bone's arm got injured. This band is insanely good. Check them out.

R.I.P. Spongebob

Today me and Jeanette decided to clean up my attic.
We've thrown away most of my past life. Everything felt good until we found my old friend Spongebob.
Even though he's been a big part of me we decided to put him to rest :(
I have to learn how to live without him now.

A little taste of what I'm doing right now
