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!

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

- Print CDs
- Check for merchandise - make Lately la la badges
- Upload Child onto Soundcloud
- Update Myspace
- Send video and songs to blogs

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.

A day at work (artist)

: Talk to the police about rules and regulations around playing music for the general public. Their office is at Agnegatan on Kungsholmen, Stockholm.

Lately la la LIBRARY TOUR!

Lately la la has been longing to play for mixed audiences since the last acoustic session at the "Esoterisk hemmafest"in the beginning of april.
Taking destiny into her own hands, Lately has decided to take to the streets in the summer of 2011. More specifically Lately la la will play in the libraries where she is welcome, and outside the ones where she is not. In this way Lately will explore different audiences and sites to perform. Everything will be documented with a cam-corder and compiled as artistic documentation. The tour will be communicated through various media such as facehook, twitter and pigeon-post, a list of dates and places will be added soon. over and out.

I learned about Elvis-songs

at work today. And read about this lady, signed to the same record company Elvis was at first: Sun records. Barbara Pittman is the name of the lady and this song speaks for itself.
