This week is one of the snowiest in history and we´re all struggling with all kinds of communication-problems.
Ola and Jens managed to get to Stockholm by train, which is more or less a miracle.
This week is the VERY last week, where the very last mixes, fixes and trix are being made. After tomorrow, there is no turning back, and we are all extremely excited!
A lot of you saw the “Ola Svensson Superstar”-documentary on Swedish TV and in the end there was a snippet of a new song, “Singing ‘Bout The City”. The version featured in the film was an old demo and the real version can be heard on the forthcoming album, just so you know.
When I was shovelling snow the other day, I came to think about this very special, hot moment in our career and I immediately felt warmer. This was recorded in Austin, Texas a few years ago when we performed at a Taco-barbeque-brunch at a Tex Mex-restaurant called Gueros. One of these moments…
No, it's not Ola who's taken up smoking and wearing make up at work.
It's pure inspiration in the form of the best west-german glam-proto-
punk. And inspiration is what we need right now since we're in the
middle of a 48 hour mixing spurt. Let's pray the computer decides not
to play us any more tricks and we will have an album done by the
weekend!
For all of you who missed the documentary about Ola, you can watch it here.

We want to scream HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLA! from the band.
STORT STORT GRATTIS!
And don’t miss the film “Ola Svensson Superstar” on Svt2, 20.oo tonight.
Hats off for Ola.
Today we listened to the songs and discussed how they should be mixed, with mixed we mean levels of the instruments and how they sound.
This is how concentrated we looked while listening.
Our friends at PSL managed to dig up this piece of nostalgia.
Hope you enjoy it and that it helps you endure this hiddeously long wait.
So, yesterday I was at Sylles club to see his band EGLO and of course I brought my camera and guess who was the secret guest?

So, if you don`t have a clue what to do this weekend, maybe it`s time to try some line dancing?
I can’t hold it back anymore. I need to tell the world about the music of Moondog. I could go on for ages about his greatness but instead I’ll just show you a clip (which is actually mainly a still photo of mr Hardin aka Moondog) with this beautiful piece of music.
