When you try your best, but you don’t succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep
Stuck in reverse?
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worst?
Lights will guide you home,
And ignite your bones,
And I will try to fix you…
All you millions of people emailing me and telling me that this page need some colours: Now you must stop! I am actually wearing my new Clown-shirt tonight! And I’m geek enough to take a pic with me with my mobile and send it to my computer and upload it to my blog and write about it…. so stupid.
Gotta dring some beer now.
Some news last week. I’ve uploaded a new front for this page (www.thelongtail.se). I quite like it, altough I sure could work a bit more with it. Some additional flash stuff will be created/presented shortly I hope.
Home from Cambridge btw, got this photo (and some others at my flickr account..). Very brittish.
FYI, Here’s two artworks I did recently. You probably won’t be blown away because of them, but, well. They’re OK i think.
Poster for the Hybris club in Sthlm in late april. (A3)
Ondskan Cover for #4. (A4)
Beeing kind of inactive for a while here now. Why is that? Because I’ve been pretty active on other places of course! Madrid was ok but rainy, Paris was ok but to short, Gothenburg was as usual (+ some french guys) and my seminar on large format printers was ok although I probably had some higher expectations…
Anyway, I like the picture above, the image resolution is a bit bad on this version, but yes, It is me sitting there. In the great park of Madrid. The royal capital of Spain. With new shoes. (more pics over at my flickr account)
Coming up: A short UK visit next week. Some exclusive beta testing at plazes (wo!) and probably something else as well.
Ahh and yes, I’ll DJ as HYBRX tomorrow at KB, Malmö. Fun? We’ll see! I actually bought two Madonna-records and some new jeans for the occation. Greeaayt!
Let the sunshine in!
Well well ok, i just started up a flickr account. Everybody else seems to have it, i guess i need one as well, huhg?
So they’re out there. Some images from USA and one from the Magistratsparken this afternoon. Sunny, funny och glassigt!
Ah, the link:

The trip to the US & A went quite well. Very tired at the evenings, very alert at the early mornings. Beeing back home, the opposite occurs. Above is one of the images taken in the US, more will probably be vissible soon.
Had the release party at Jeriko last Friday. Lot’s of people, lot’s of 90’s dance hits, lot’s of heat, lot’s of Familjen. Very nice. Listened to the Stone Roses the whole night and arrived home in dawn. Big appplause to Magnus & Annette for the great marketing campaign and to Familjen for the great songs.
Another trip added: Not going home from Madrid, instead directly to Paris for one night. Kerstin loves it. Not.
Soon time for departure to the US, but there’s still the summer time-issue picking at me. A one hour change. Will I be there in time? I better be… Well, I hope it will turn out OK. Btw, I better start the packing process now? I really should. Instead I just checked if the hotel I’m staing at (Radisson) was discovered by anyone at Plazes (www.plazes.com) — and it’s still undiscovered! woppa! I’ll have it. I’ll have them all. All. I will. Have.
I’m aiming at “Thats about 100% of the world” at plazes.
Better be with carbon neutral traveling in that case.
Edit: Attire is Business Casual. Thank you for that information, whatever it means.
So much to do now. Not even funny anymore. Need to get some things off my shoulders. Just a few days until takeoff to US and A, and there are some many things that’s need to be finished before I go. And also, Sunday is the day when the clock is supposed to be set one hour forward (or back?). All I know is that my plane is leaving about 08.00 from CPH, and I’m sure I will miss it just because of the clock resetting shit…
And when I have missed the plane, I will take an expensive espresso at the danish espresso bar in Terminal 2 and listen to The Sundays – “It’s you and me in the summer time…”. And then I will go home and work even more. It never ends you know.
But soon I will actually get some vacation. Madrid you know, I hope it’s great.
Lot’s of bad shit now. Better say something positive:
The best song right now is Montt Mardié feat. Vapnet – ‘När ni gett dom våld, ska vi ge er kärlek’ (from upcoming Clocks/Pretender – release April 18). It’s fantastic. Actually the whole 2CD is great.
‘It must be fantastic to travel as much as you do in your work?’
Well yeah. Sometimes…
This was my day today:
Alarm clock: 04.25.
Alarm clock snooze: 04.32.
Alarm clock snooze again: 04.39.
[Missed the bus, took a taxi, had to run for the train…]
Train to airport: 05.22
[no time for breakfast]
Departure from CPH: 07.15
[some food on the plane – read more below]
Arrival to Frankfurt: 9.00
Taxi to final destination: 09.30
Presentations in the conference room: 10.00-16.10
Taxi to the airport: 16.11
[Arrives at the airport with less than 50 minutes to take off. My computer got extra terrorist security control. runs to the gate. 18 minutes to take off. Hook up to the Mobile T Wifi, connects to Plazes (2 euro) unfortunately already discovered. *(crap)]
Departure: 17.40
[some food at the plane – read more below]
Arrival CPH: 19.15
[misses the train to Malmö with like 11 seconds. Touches the doors – that don’t open – and the train starts to move… (without me in it). Crap.]
(Late) train departure: 19.39
Bus 35 to home: 20.08.
Open my home door at 20.23, that’s about 15 hours since i left home the same morning.
If it’s nice to travel? If I get a chance to ‘getting to know’ all the cities? Sometimes – not very often though. Today I walked like 50 meters on German ground. That’s all. No sightseeing. No weisbeer. No great food.
Like a normal day at the office – just a few more hours. Actually I think I saw that some of the trees next to the autobahn were wearing green leaves already. That’s something, right?!
(Actually the presentations – the reason I was there at all – were quite nice also)
AIRPLANE FOOD:
CPH-FRA / Business class!
Some meat dish (didn’t try it). Sandwiches, 2 glasses of orange juice. Slept 30 min. Read the new issue from Diego (don’t like the cheap paper).
FRA – CPH / Business class again!
A fish dish with some mashed potatoes with small pieces of bacon in it (didn’t try it). Small salad with tomatoes/feta cheese (nice!). Strawberry fromage as dessert. Bread (x2), a red mini cheese (left over from Christmas?), 3 small pieces of chocolate, crackers (4 pieces), 15 cl of Coca Cola (no ice).
BONUS INFO: Short after touch down at FRA, the pilot spoke enthusiastic in the speakers about like the new Airbus A380 or something… ‘At your left hand side, the test flight of the world’s largest airplane – with two floors all the way – can be seen. That’s the test flight right there.’ Pret ty nice of him right? (nerd!) ((loves it!))
Also, I did this flyer for the release party of Familjen’s [myspace.com/familjen] debut album at Jeriko in Malmö. Love the Pollock-ink. Made by Hanne Lindberg who also did a great job with the digipack (haven’t seen it printed yet though).
The new Vapnet record was sent to the printer house last week, this is how the cover looks like. I’m pretty happy about it.
OK. Welcome, etc. This is the first post of the blog without any name or content (yet). Hopefully I will manage to post some stuff I am working on here. Why? for my own purposes and reasons. I like the idea of having a place where I can see the things i work with. Hopefully my head don’t have to carry all the information around anymore, and let the blog do the memory stuff.
I will problably pimp the header a bit more. Altough I really like it clean.
Tech info: It’s all based on the tool Textpattern. The (modified) style template is called “minimalistic” and I also borrowed parts from the folks at www.ourpwn.com. The blue color is #3366CC.
