Dolphins

My current job has nothing to do with dolphins I thought, but how wrong I was! Here are two jolly fellas enjoying themselves:

Exhibitionists

Last week I went to a very good exhibition at Magnus Karlsson gallery with Jockum Nordström and Marcel Dzama called - "The donkey prefers garbage to gold". This is a a page from Marcel´s sketchbook:

Messages in Stockholm

On the way home from work today, I stopped to read a noticeboard with two unusual posts on: (for the english speaking- the title of one of them is "Looking for girlfriend".

Lately la la presents Bogumila presents the birds

On my hard-drive I found this little pearl that Lola made in 2009. We recorded in a convent in Brighton, Paul is on drums and Marcus is playing the guitar!

Bling

THe

mix between gold and silver is very much liked by me.

Music-shop

Tomorrow im going to a music-shop to try out a cube-amp. Apparently Musikbörsen and 4sound have merged into one company, so now there is even more of a music-monopoly in Sweden. That is probably not good for keeping prices down. WHen I go to music shops alone, without guys, it is good, because then the men working there will talk straight to me.

DRums

I bought a drumkit in Tyresö today. WHat is even more cool is that me and Olov drove there in a Cheva Van; rrrrespect. It  did not really look like the photo above, but this van is also cool.

Budget - covers

I have made paper-covers to a collection of Lately la la songs. With great help from http://www.pixelpalace.se/  in Gröndal - I have photocopied papers and then folded them around a cardboard cd-pocket. This is how it ended up looking: (note to myself: copy lyrics on see-through paper and include in the pocket..) This cd is included in the price when you buy a Lately La La pin: They are also under making.

Another day at work

Regulations for playing music in the streets

The woman at the police-office told me that, as soon as I put something down on the ground, in terms of instruments, I need a permission to play. A permission costs 700 SEK and usually takes a week to process. I need a permission for each place I want to play at, if I use amplification. This would make it a very bad idea in terms of economy, and I have to think about other free ways of expression.
