electrelane
Yesterday Electrelane played at Debaser. Most definitely one of my top 10 concerts of all time. Maybe even top 5. They have a genuine kraut/progressive feel in their music. You can hear influences from Can, Neu!, Faust, Pink Floyd and Stereolab. Can you possibly have better influences? I don't think so. The best part is that they still totally sound like Electrelane. This is not a band of cheap clones. They are cool and unlike many other bands they don't need to excuse their existence with irony and boring rock poses.
slussen
This is Slussen (the Sluice or the Lock) outside the club Debaser in central Stockholm. I'm on my way to the Electrelane concert.

management by fear 1.1
Have all journalists sold their souls to Big Brother, Darth Vader and Percy Nilegård? Have they become the willing tools of the management by fear culture? Don't really know. But it sure feels like that. First we have the world famous bird flu. 60 dead over the world during the last one or two years... 60! More people probably die of falling leafs than of bird flu. This is nothing new. I quote good old Wiki:
"Influenza is an extremely variable disease; similar viruses are found in pigs and domestic fowl. In areas where there are high concentrations of humans, pigs and birds in close proximity, such as parts of Asia, simultaneous infections across species enable genetic material to be exchanged between the various strains of flu. This appears to be the principal method by which new infectious strains arise. It is believed that sooner or later, a recombination may occur to produce a strain as lethal as the 1918 virus."
Sooner or later... Okay, I can buy that. Sooner or later the sun will explode or a giant meteorite will smash earth to pieces. Very sad indeed... but there's not much we can do for the time being - so why worry? It's the same with the bird flu. Nothing much has changed since 1918. The flu is constantly changing and creating new strains. The papers didn't write about that every day five or ten years ago. So why worry now? Have the Pharmaceutical Industry bought every major news agency? A great new way to get more research money and at the same time scare people into good consumers of happy pills and gastric ulcer medicines? Who knows? Personally I just don't give a shit about the bird flu. I'm a vegeterian. Go get them birds! Get your revenge!
Then there's the swedish "killer swing". The horror! These swings have been on playgrounds for more than twelwe years and there have been no serious accidents - then a two year old kid dies - and all hell brakes lose! Every swedish journalist is sent to a playground close to their paper/news channel demanding a national ban of these "killer swings"! Parents go ballistic and starts to call every politician demanding the same. Ban them! Burn them! It's crazy! Where's the reflection? Accidents happens sometimes. You can never totally protect kids without making their lifes totally boring. Thank you journalists - you've saved the swedish kids from fun! When they have no more fun places to go - I'll bring them all to your editorial staff rooms and let them lose there. See ya soon!

A Clockwork Fiskayet
I feel like Alex DeLarge when I walk over Fisksätra Torg. Look how much it looks like the Flat Block Marina in Thamesmead - the filming location for Municipal Flatblock 18 A where Alex lives in A Clockwork Orange. And I live in number 18 too - horrorshow!
Queen Scuba
This is Queen Scuba's new look. I sort of miss the palm trees... they were classy! Soon the inside will be finnished too and she'll be ready to go to the Similans with my sister and Rich. Lucky bastards!

the family unit in kata
Finally there are some new pictures from Phuket on Johanna och Andreas blog. Check them out. Me jealous? I could almost kill to get there... aaaarrrrggggghhhhh!
maria, albion & jonas
Had a great evening with Maria, Albion and, for a short while, Jonas... We went to Grottan (a local goth club) and then later to stupid Berns. But by then we (that is me and Albion, Maria is smart and doesn't drink) were so drunk that it didn't really matter where we went. They actually played some decent music there and I also met some crazy people. That's always fun! But after a couple of hours I got Lost... that was scary...

subway totoro style
Found this secret tunnel leading into the bushes and to a deserted subway station out in the wilderness. It was almost like the great movie My Neighbor Totoro. I wouldn't have been surprised at all if we had met Totoro at that subway station.
break time
Sitting in the sun under a tree is perfection - eventhough you're surrounded by playing kids you still feel relaxed... As Dennis Hopper probably would say: Peace man...
judarn october
So far we've been going to the Judarn forest with the school every Wednesday. Forests rules - even small ones like this.
crossword street art
This is a cool piece of street art - a big crossword on the roof of a small transformer station. I can view it from the playground up at Kungsklippan.
