Last rehearsal we ended up playing "The kids aren't alright" by The Offspring with Oskar on the drums. I don't know if that's a good or bad sign bearing the upcoming show in växjö in mind. I am a little afraid...

Concerning acting and music
I'm flying to Berlin in a couple of weeks to act in an independent film directed by a swede. This makes me think back on my first theatrical plays in school when I portrayed a leather jacket version of Elaka Måns in my schools play, Pelle Svanslös. I did the part with such devotion and enthusiasm that three people in the ensemble started crying at the rehearsals. I was about 14 and I was totally fierce. Haha. And I also think about when the four of us were shooting a movie last summer. That one premiers this fall in Sweden. So we'll soon be in a cinema near yourselves. But we are not moviestars but musicians. And we are making a lot of great music now. It sounds a lot darker. I think we have finally abandoned The Beatles.

I´d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy
Tonight all our favourite guitar technician Anton is having a release party for his band, I´m gonna head down to town grab a couple of beers and see what they´re up to.
One new song has been recorded. Me and Anton recorded it in the home studio and we played it to our bookers who applauded us. It´s a hit!

I welcome the future
Today I bought myself a brand new vacuum cleaner. It looks like a spaceship and has LED-lights on the mouthpiece.

I could have been a great pianist
Oh how the days just go by without me even realizing they do. But they do in a pace faster than me. Every hour is a potential opportunity to write a song, a poem, call a friend who needs a call. But flat screen TV's suck our brains in a drains us of creativity to seize the moment. And maybe life is only a fight to stay on top of the moment and try to not get to entertained by all the mindless mumbojumbo media companys push down your throat. I would like you to turn the computer off now and write a letter to someone dear.
I was gifted, am gifted. Sometimes I look at my hands and realize that I could have been a great pianist or something. But what have my hands done? Scratched my balls, written checks, tied shoes, pushed toilet levers, etc. I have wasted my hands. And my mind.

Göteborg
I just came back from a short trip to Göteborg. I went to the indie club "Styrbord Babord" and danced to great indie hits until I almost lost my hearing. If you ever go to Göteborg you should absolutely visit "Stybord Babord". Great place that is. //Oskar

Testing
All right! Two days has pasted of the new year and a new beginning of lots of thing. Me for instance, are moving to a new apartment. It's a hell of a job and there is thousand things to remember and do. I've been busy all day moving things from one place to another and breaking my back carrying boxes. I always listening to music when doing this kinds of things. To test how our new songs sounds like when you are moving I put on some of our demos witch we have recorded lately. Hell yeah baby! I just wanted to drop the sofa in the staircase and run to the nearest studio and record the songs for real right away. I guess it's a good sign... Now I'm all exhausted after all physical activities so I'm gonna finish my last task for the day witch is going to bed. Sleep tight in the night. //Oskar

Gott nytt.
Dear Friends. Just like Johnny I also wanted to sum up 09 for us all with a few words. Even though he beat me to it. I'm just not able to keep up with him sometimes.
When I look back on year nine I quickly realize it carried a lot for all of us. While the world might remember this year as a year of financial crisis or the year Obama became president, I will always think of it as the year when we released SONGS FOR THE FALLEN APART. Our best album to date by far. To the sound of both fantastic and horrific reviews we released our new baby into first Scandinavia and then Mainland Europe. And we did the greatest tours we ever done this year. And grew a lot more confident in our own ability. For me, the best shows were this springs outdoor headline gig at the Get-A-Gig Festival in our native Karlstad, the Peace And Love show in 28 degree heat and the Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg. All very different but equally fabulous.
On a personal level it has been a year of change during these last months. Sometimes hard to adapt to and sometimes the kind of change that makes you wanna dive into it, head first, without thinking twice. I wanna thank my brothers Anders, Oskar and Johnny for all we did this year.
For 2010 I will try to write more and drink less. What are your promises?

Happy New Year!
We want to wish you a happy new year and thank you for twelve great months filled with awesome shows and the release of "Songs For The Fallen Apart"
1010 will bring much I hope, I´ll bet it wont take to long before we get out on the road again.
By the way we just finished yet another demo on a new song, I like it much and it is something between Phantom Of The Opera and Dirty Harry.
Happy New Year // Johnny!

list of a decade
At the end of every year it's kind a tradition to make a top 10 list of "records of the year". But this time me and my friends are gonna make it over the whole decade, and now I'm sitting here... having a hard time remembering and seed all great albums.
I have decide to only choose one album per artist/band to make it a little more exciting. The ones I have come up with so far is: the strokes, glasvegas, håkan hellström, kent, arctic monkeys. razorlight, the killers and kings of leon.
Feel free to help me remember...

Back home
Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Hope y'all have had a great Christmas. I just got back home from Värmland, where I have spent my Christmas with family and friends. I'm really really really tired right now. It's always fun to be in Värmland, especially when all your friend from the old days also are there. The rest of the boys in the band are coming back on Monday. Then we will get back to working on our new album again. Can't wait... //Oskar
