Art Fact song featured in Netflix series

This is what my friend Måns Jonasson writes on Facebook, regarding the fact that one of his songs – written when he was 14 years old – is featured in the Netflix series Kissing Game: When I was 14 years old I wrote a song for my band Art Fact called Rain in the South. […]

I wanna be rich and famous, or at least like The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

The best band in the history of rock’n’roll? That might be The Sensational Alex Harvey Band.

I know it sounds like a question, but it’s a statement

Den märklige konstnären Marcus Larsson

Det här är mer än något annat en minnesanteckning. Jag städar i lite lådor och hittar en del klipp från dagstidningar. Tydligen har en biografisk roman om konstnären Marcus Larsson (1825-1864) intresserat mig, eftersom jag sparat recensionen av boken Den galne hovmålaren – Dokumentärroman om Marcus Larsson av Lars-Ola Borglid (utgiven på bokförlaget Artéa). Jag […]

The new Stockholm band ROSSI is a very nice acquaintance

This Saturday I had the pleasure of experiencing a brand new band here in Stockholm. Club Probation at Restaurant Snövit is perhaps not the most glamorous of places in Södermalm, but this is generally where you’re able to catch bands that are not yet established.

The Monorail of Seattle – what’s it like taking a ride?

Monorail Seattle (photo: Magnus Nilsson)

If you’re going to Seattle, WA, one thing you really should give a try is the Seattle Center Monorail. It’s a railway up in the air, built for the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair – as is the world famous Space Needle (which is one of the Monorail’s two stops). It’s a short trip of just […]

KC BABY is the latest artist on my Fanfar! label

The latest release from my record label is the debut album with KC BABY. This is a duo that sings in Swedish and plays what they themselves describes as passive-aggressive music. For some years I’ve had the opportunity to host a small record label of my own, called Fanfar! The latest issue is the LP […]

Nice building in Pearl District

While attending The QS18 conference at the Residence Inn by Marriott in Portland I happened to have a closer look at a brand new building right across the street from the hotel. I’m no expert on architecture and I’m usually not that impressed by new buildings, but this building in the Pearl District intrigued me. […]

Sickan Carlsson

This is Swedish actress Sickan Carlsson. Just look at her. That confidence is rare in movies from back in the days, even if it’s perfectly possible that it’s a part of the part she played at the moment (think The Taming of The Shrew theme). From the late 80’s or so, I’ve been a member […]
