Good music saves my soul

Yes, I'm alive... I think
...but a bit busy...

Ok, my first tattoo says Carpe Diem. So last tuesday, I found a little cottage to rent on Blocket (swedish site for selling everything, and also flats for rent...). In the evning I went to look at it. Wednesday, I signed the contract to rent it...

So, suddenly I realize, that I have 3 weeks to change phone contract, internet, and such practical things, but also, reduce my furniture adn thigns (some ppl would call it garbage) so it will fit in a cottage of 46 sqm instead of a flat with 106 sqm + storage...
This is NOT a piece of cake!

My bed is too wide to fit in the bedroom, I have way too much furniture, but some are old family stuff that I cant throw away, so I have to find someone to take care of it, all things that I save (in case of.....) since I had a lot of space, I have to carefully go through and select very few things... I need a container!!! And at least 2 strong men :P (or the old-style Bulgarian athletic women)

Every night when I go to bed, my head is spinning... with all thigns I have to solve, SOON!

But... on the good side, I soon have a small home with a garden, grill, apple trees, raspberry bushes, 3 minutes walk to swimming in the lake, 7 minutes walk to swimming in the Baltic Sea...

Life can get pretty nice there, when I'm done! I just need some beer drinking partners to accompany me in the garden ;)

Does all good things start with M? Music, Metal, Men, Motorcycle, Macchiato, Magic Moments, Mercedes-Benz, Marvel comics, My Dying Bride and Mikaaal...

Friday thoughts

seeing the spring exploding outside

Is there ANYTHING better, than two souls meeting, becoming one.

Joining forces to give each other more strength, courage, hope...

Joining each other to collect beautiful memories together...

It's the moments when our souls meet that I truly I feel alive!

One symbol of true love is the symbol of eternity. You always go back to the beginning, those memories - but you don't even wish to think about the possibility of an ending...

Grow old with me - the best is yet to come!!!

Let our souls and bodies be hotter than ever, for each other!

2007-03-16T11:31:00.000+01:00

Next weekend
Man.Machine.Industry at Club Blacksmith

I hope I can will get the company from my 2 older kids... Looking forward to see them!
And Violent Work of Art, I never saw them live (except from some members partying at Dirty Black Summer 2005). Will be great!

Life is a rollercoaster
You just have to ride it...

I feel much better now, thanks to you honey bunny! Thanks for not giving up on me!

Fuck this life

End of todays story...

Monday - blue Monday night
Sometimes it just feels bad

...and for no particular reason at all. It just feels soooo depressing to get back "home", to a totally empty flat. I'm not scared of being alone, not at all. But I wish I could choose when...

And I can't... There's a lot in my life I can't do much at all about. I just have to deal with it, and learn to survive these days and evenings, and hope for better days, and that these better days aren't too far away.

So, give me this fucken Genie in a bottle and grant me the wishes! PLEASE! I have a burning desire inside......

Hermann recovers from rust injuries
Yes, it's my unpimped Mercedes I'm talking about

After a extremely lazy start of the day, I actually was a bit useful this evening. With some help... M helped me to remove the rust-colored parts on the back of the car, after we took off some parts to reach the injured spots. Then some rust-eater, primer and then... we noticed that the paint that I had in the car was wrong... pearl blue. It should have been sky blue or something. Well better bad paint than no paint, so now Hermann has darker blue spots, until I have the time and money to buy the good one.
Anyway... I bought the car in June, and thought I would take care of it right away. Now it's finally soon done, so I'm feeling satisfied!
We also had some healthy dinner (Asparagus soup for me, Thai for M) so it was a good evening compared to the junk food we used to have :P

Now, it's off to bed and some hanky panky with my pillow... 5 hours of sleep, as usual ;)

In the morning I will have news from my boss, including plans of a US trip this summer. Sounds ok with me :)

Take care everyone!!!
MWAH!

PS Playing Krux II in the car all the time nowadays... Rock my world :)

2007-03-11T13:45:00.000+01:00

Sunday morning
I'm going soft ;)

Love you, enough to make my heart do vaults and my soul humming tunes of eternal love
Love you, enough to make my skin begging for your attention with your soft kisses and your amazing touch
Love you, enough to make missing and longing for you feel like flu and butterflies in my stomach at the same time
Love you, enough to run out of words... But picture yourself sittng on a bridge, with the most delicious beer, listening to the most beautiful song played but the most talented guitar player, a late summer night as the sun sets in the horizon.

That's how great if feels, but yet even better, to love you

2007-02-16T18:19:00.000+01:00

Heroes!!! Strapping Young Lad!!
Gene's drums, Jed's guitar, Devin's voice and Byron's bass

So fucken awesome you can hardly survive it!!!
Can hardly believe I met them all at Hultsfred in June... Seems so long ago since I had to fight to get in with my backpack to the backstage area but there he came to meet me, the hero of the night Byron - to let me in!

Thanks again for the opportunity! Something I'll remember forever!

(I edited this post, since it's kind of slow to load the clip all the time. You can find it throug SYL's page at www.myspace.com)

Life is about fun, no???
I've had some lately :)

Having dinner with two gorgeous girls from work ( us girls being between 39+, but they are as young as me in heart and soul - meaning around 17... even younger after some wine...)

Celebrating my eldest sons 19th birthday

Idrottsgalan (Swedish celebraties in Globen for different Sports awards)

Snow mobile in Sälen - Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!

Lazy TV-night - crying at some silly TV-shows with my 17 y o daughter

Soon - WRC - Swedish Rally - on a ATV :) (4-hjuling in Swedish)

Found out The Project Hate and Vicious Art got themselves some decent record deals and Vomitory going to Sweden Rock Festival!!

Appreciation at work - for me being me!

Enjoying company of special friends!!!! Some more special (in a good way!!) than others

May my wishes come true - love and happiness!
And may all your wishes come true too - of course!!! =)

Now... give me some fresh good death metal... with hate... This post makes me feel like a cute old woman ;)

Did a test too... I am really too nice... I'll work on it!

Wishing Everyone a Great 2007

The year when dreams come true?!

I haven't really spoilt you with new blogs, have I? But anyway... Things are fine here! Tonight I will bring my youngest son to the New Years Party that my two oldest kids will arrange. I will bring some nice fireworks there (smart, since I will be sober :P - not like my teenagers...)

I have wishes and dreams, that I hope will come true next year, but how this new year will end, noone can tell... not for a year or so ;)

I wish my kids all the best for this year to come, I wish my parents and the rest of my family a great and healthy year, I wish my friends, old and new, nothing but the best, and for me... I have this special wish... I'll tell you in a year if it came true!

Now have a great party everyone tonight, be careful with the fireworks (It's nice to keep all fingers!!!), have great champagne, and toast with the ones you care about!

Kisses and Love

Anna

Some things make my cry...
and being pissed

And a lot of other emotions aswell... Not sure if me being a mother make it worse, or the fact that I always cried in the end of Western movies, since the cowboys/immigrants usually won over the natives... :P
http://www.magnuminmotion.com/essay_chernobyl There is several episodes, so when one is finished, press play again...

It's worth some consideration... what we do to our kids, our world, just for having a more pleasant life ourselves.

Blushing - doesn't help?!
And no excuses either

So sorry for not updating again...

What happened lately?

I went to a party for singles in Örebro 1½ week ago. I was a bit scared, but the atmosphere was much less desperate than at a normal pub in Stockholm after midnight, so I had fun! Even if I got back home as a single aswell ;) Nice food, most people nice too, and a lot of dancing. I know, I know, not headbanging... but I can't help it, I love to dance to old tunes like Pump it up or making smooth hip moves to some Latino music...

Last weekend I was actually into sports!!! Well, meaning bowling and pool :D With a good friend and my youngest son... tried some pinball too. I love it, when I don't lose!

I also attended "Hard Rock Open 2006" with some colleagues from work, and this year I made it! I brought back the rock saying "Heaviest Tune". I won it with one of my favorites with Gorefest (an EXCELLENT dutch band!!!) - When The Dead Walk The Earth! Then I can't help that the guy who played Ich Will with Rammstein won the full contest. I can just promote good Death Metal and hope they will enjoy it more and more :)

What else... I updated my living room with a lot of black candles for making boring fall evenings, less cold... and making the concept even better, some black blankets for the armchairs, black lace curtains and black candy bowls. This combined with a new DVD with "The Young Ones",(old BBC serie which is GREAT) and a CD with Dean Martins dark voice will make some evenings less boring! (Some company might even make it a hit... you never know!)

Since September 25th I also have a new job (or actually two, but at the same desk...). It's making me totally exhausted with new missions and tasks, interviews with all my co-workers, that I'm supposed to lead, and planning for next year, but soooooooo much fun too! I made a good choice (for once :P)!

Coming up:

My grandmothers 80th birthday on saturday - she's a strong woman!

Probably a trip to Club Aska Örebro listening The Kristet Utseende

My daughters 17th birthday next wednesday

And a lot of "ad hoc" fun I hope!! (I prefer not to have too many plans)

Smooches too you all! Oh, and I prefer summer, but this pic inspire me that some fun might be possible this winter ;) Looking forward to it!!!

2006-08-20T15:06:00.000+02:00

Summarizing Summer
Sum stuff... :P

I've been too lazy to update the blog very much, but here comes some snapshots:

Three Swedish singer/songwriters that I admire! (Loke, Frasse & David)

And the night at Tanto with Vicious Art, Maze of Torment and Grave...

Oscar and me went for adventure in Stockholm archipelago...

And we went to see my brother Tomas on his birthday, and his daughter was having fun :)

And I've seen so many beautiful cars this summer... Can't have enough of them!!!

Thats all for now...
Bedtime coming up! Take care all... Smooches AnnA!

PS I also had an arabic name from a friend... I'm Amal! It means hope, so I take it as a big compliment!

2006-08-11T14:06:00.000+02:00

I probably lack of good music
Or live gig, or whatever

Anyway, this is the tune of today...

My eyes stare into nothing
My life has turned upside down
Today I stop believing
I can't see any future
There's no light in the distance
I've been living in a castle
Made of air

Thrown into nowhere
Betrayed with a kiss
I see no bright tomorrow
There's just emptiness

I stumble in the darkness
I forget to fall asleep
My whole world is burned to ashes
There's no thirst, there's no hunger
Nothing hurts, nothing touches
This time I've lost the faith in life itself

Thrown into nowhere
Betrayed with a kiss
I see no bright tomorrow
There´s just emptiness
There´s just emptiness
There´s just emptiness

There's just emptiness

2006-08-09T17:09:00.000+02:00

Beautiful words
And I don't know who said them first...

“Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'”

2006-08-03T13:31:00.000+02:00

Detox
helps...

And so does the new album with Strapping Young Lad!
Read a great review here: GLOBAL FUCKEN DOMINATION
Thanks Devin, Gene, Jed and Byron!!!

I think I'll survive even this thursday at work now.

2006-08-03T07:48:00.000+02:00

Sorry everyone
It's hard to find an update here

I'll try to recover this as soon as possible! I have a lot of pics from July to share, so... coming up a.s.a.p!

Beside from this.... I wish I had at least 10 weeks of vacation every year!

Ta ta for now

Words of today...

Sad misty curtains

In the darkness
you can't see my fear
My feelings this spring are sadness
and disappointment
but in the moonlight you can notice a smile
Shadows dancing around my soul
Tears hidden by the misty late hour
You think that the small pieces you throw me make me happy
Protected by the nightsky I let you believe it's true
So one more kiss
tasting betrayal...

2006-06-27T15:12:00.000+02:00

I read something really good today
On a forum for sharing thoughts...

Philosophy and such. Sometimes it just confuses me, but I'm really interested in the subject aswell. One woman described love like this:

"Loving my kids
Loving a man
Loving my friends
Loving my pets
Loving myself
Loving my parents
Loving my fellow citizens

The kind of love that I experince stronger, harder, more wonderful and with most dimensions and varieties is the love to a man.
What is created when joining two energy sources is what I call "life", what I want to have, all the time. In that feeling, there is everything.
The love I think is most unconditional and natural is the love I feel for my children.
The love I have for other people gives me energy and meaning to my life, but it has a slower flow or pace - and not as many dimensions.
The love I feel for myself, is the source of all my love."

I don't have any pets, since I don't wish them in my flat, one day on the countryside maybe...
But everything else, feels so true! It's how I experienced it during the years...
A love for a man, THE man, is so multi-dimensioned and it really covers everything. After the first stumbling steps, when everything is "pretty in pink". But when yo really get to know each others weaknesses and strengths, the good and the less good, and still have all this shared love, it's a totally different life than without such love.
Even if living separate lives often, not sharing everything, but the most important things you share: love for each other and wanting each other to have nothing but the best, then you are ONE!

Just some thoughts...
Sometimes I'm in that mood, thats all. I still know how to say Fucken :P

2006-06-15T06:49:00.000+02:00

I'll be strapping that young lad tonight
or "I have a date, nanininana"

Yep, in a few hours I'm off for having a chat with Byron Stroud (and if I'm lucky, with the other guys in SYL aswell). My 2nd interview upcoming... I'm thrilled and amazed and will have to do everything I can, not to just go into showing how much I love them, but actually asking some serious shit aswell!

Reporting the result as soon as I can (the interview will be on Global Domination-site of course)! Hopefully a few nice pics too. This one I took when he was playing with Fear Factory in Stockholm in April, soon new ones coming up :)

I'm feeling like a 5 year old waiting for Santa, I'm so immature - and happy =) (I hope that will never change...)

2006-06-09T09:58:00.000+02:00

Busy week, this one!!!
I'm running out of anger soon

First I saw the movie "The murder of Matthew Shephard", about fucken morons in Wyoming, being scared of any species more intelligent than themselves, so two idiots (I totally blame their parents and the insane baptist church in town) killed one guy because he was a homosexual.

So I wrote that screwed up church of theirs (who buy the way run the site http://www.godhatessweden.com aswell) a mail to tell them that I look forward to see them in hell (among a lot of other shit they probably know how to read). We can use them for a good BBQ maybe... as fuel... they will taste too bad!

Then they are screwing up everything in Sweden with more taxes, so now everyone who has better internet connection than old fashion modems will pay taxes, where probably 0,008% will go to musicians to make up for downloads/file sharing. Yay! We already have more taxes than anyone, and if someone ran a company as our politicians are running our country with our tax money, they would be in prison. Or shot by the board!

So here... for supporting the musicians, that usually never have any money, even when we are legally buying their albums:

Tomorrow I'm going to see Wheels Heron Hillclimb

There will be Impala Terass 1960, Ford Sunliner –56, Bugatti, typ 35 –24 and a lot of other cool cars. It's not the speed that counts there... It's the looks and the sound!!!

Awesome!!! I need some cheering up!

*cheers to ya all, metal lovers, amigos, retards and other soulmates*

2006-06-06T11:01:00.000+02:00

6.6.6 - always a reason to celebrate
Or Sweden's national day... (boring)

Or you can make a very short stop and say what you think of me here:
Johari Window
A test where I state what I think is my strongest impressions on ppl, and then you can state what you think, and we compare :D

Oh... Yesterday evening I had aHD Softail between my legs... Not bad at all!!! I don't mind that happening again...

Most stores in Sweden closed today, not because they are afraid of Demons, but since it's the National Day of Sweden... It means I can't buy the new EP from Entombed, which is said to kick ass. But tomorrow is another day, maybe...

Smooches to the people making my life better!!

2006-06-04T15:11:00.000+02:00

This quote didn't really match...
...the subject of today

"To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage, because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt."
Madonna

2006-06-04T07:28:00.000+02:00

Summer again (for a while anyway)
and HOT bikes

This is what I spent yesterday getting horny over... (All pics get bigger and fancier if you click them ;) )

And yes, I do prefer the smell of these things from flowers in the beautiful nature (that I appreciate, but still).

I have loved the smell of gasoline since I was a kid and went with my dad to all sorts of motor events (drag racing, rally cross, Camaro Cup, whatever).

I wont tell how far off from the exhibition I parked my Peugeot 306... walking over there and looking innocent :D

And I can't really decide if I like these with chrome and fancy paintings more or if I prefer the rough (usually unpolished black) things that you can really use, without worries about hours with Autosol the day after...

I guess these are great for looks, but as a user, since I hope to be one someday, I really prefer riding the bike from taking too much care of it.

It's all in the details... It's fucken ART!!! And sooo much more people to see it when it's on a bike than on some wall of a museum!

Even the newer bikes can slip out of the standards and get more sechsy!

Now I just need a shitload of cash...

Stay metal! MWAAH!

2006-05-31T10:49:00.000+02:00

Today, I wouldn't like to have a date with myself
Mood description: Lower than deep shit

And there's a reason... tht hopefully will be solved soon, but it's really sucking all energy out of me at the moment!!!

Wonder if it passes if I just stay in bed for a month :P
I really feel like the nice lady I had inked last monday...
Bah, Later and so on!

2006-05-21T09:37:00.000+02:00

Vicious Art - As awesome as I expected
And more than that

Yesterday I grabbed my oldest son and we took a trip to Haninge outside Stockholm. It was a small local festival with several bands for 2 days, but only one reason for me to go there... Vicious Art live!! One year since first and last time before that...

I think the stage was kind of big (meaning that is good!) for such a place (and thinking about the number of the crowd, we had enough place to get on stage too, well almost...), the sound wasn't a killer but totally okay (even if it seems the band lost their monitors after a while), and the small crowd at least really fucken enjoyed!

I think one guy, a young kid in a wheel-chair, will remember this gig for years!! Jocke actually crawled on the floor in front of him! And if you know him from stage, you know he doesn't jsut stand there straight singing... Despite the size of the crowd, he really gave it all.

J ruled, both with his "torture"-roars and his intense bass playing, Sillman and Matti complete each other so well and Robban is awesome behind his set (even more when it gets hot ^^).

Noticed a bit surpricing/improvised end at one of the new tunes, but Tanja fucken RULED live aswell as the old tunes! It's (was it 35-40 minutes??) a set that gets you exhausted and in love with Death Metal if you weren't before! "Satanas" - "Satanas"...

Now I've seen God Among Insects and Vicious Art live in less than a month, two of my favorite bands... If I could just end this with Sanctification, Dark Funeral and Vomitory too this month, I can die happy! ;) Oh wait, SYL in a bit less than a month too...

Thanks guys for excellent tunes all the way into my bones and for chatting with the old lady at this gig! ;) Three more new tunes done you said, now lets hope we will be allowed to see & hear some of that soon!!

Kisses to you all!

You can hear their music HERE
More pics to see at the bands official forum HERE

2006-05-19T14:10:00.000+02:00

Friday
and still grey

But I guess it's metal... crap weather I mean :/
Anyway, got my tickets for VA tomorrow in Haninge. Trying to get my son to ride along or I will be accused of being pedophile. And I do prefer guys who can grow a beard ^^

Also found Blood Rapture by Vomitory and Katatonias Viva Emptiness at the store. So I'm doing well now, even more with my three copies of the Vicious Art EP :D

Now I lost all the willpower to do a good job... I wish to go home, grab a cold one and fall asleep for a while in the sofa, and then go out and listen some good music and have some more cold drinks...

But I guess I should do some final effort, so they wont steal the paycheck coming next week.

Have a banging weekend everyone!
Kisses to some of you ;)
*cheers*

PS Yeah, I'm obsessed with she-devils... so fucken what??? DS Oh and check the bottom of my blog! There you have the addy for the soon open Dark Funeral store! Go for it...

2006-05-18T10:06:00.000+02:00

Greeeeeeeeeeeeeey and rainy
Bah, starting to look like Swedish summer

But in an excellent mood. Two CD's arrived from US yesterday. Zimmer's Hole - soooo funny and SYL's Alien (which I listened to for a long time, but now legally bought, since I probablyI will meet them in June and have them sign it! :) )

~~~~~~@@@@~~~~~~

Then some new music incoming from an excellent friend of mine before he departs from a vacation in a crap country (when it comes to Human rights and such) - YAY!!

~~~~~~@@@@~~~~~~

Oh, and I decided to celebrate midsummer with Nifelheim, Deathstars and Dissection at Hovet. A bit unorthodox, but last midsummer I went to the cinema so... Not too traditional I guess :)

~~~~~~@@@@~~~~~~

Making my 3rd tattoo monday!!!!!!! In honour of my kids! :D Looking forward to the date with Thomas at Diablo!

Oh, and in love, as usual, with some parts and members of this fucked up world, and filled with hate for other parts and members...

2006-05-11T14:49:00.000+02:00

Things making me happy on a day like this
And some not too good

I know it's not the best album of Lamb, but it's what I've got and since I have nothing to compare with... I love it!

Some good reading as usually found on my favorit spot nowadays - Global Domination! Today about the good old Deicide that once was... mixed with the usual chat about everything and nothing.

My brothers little daughter! It feels so good that my kids are growing up... Every age has it's charm, even teenagers ;) But sometimes borrowing younger kids is totally ok. But I haven't dared to buy any skull shirts for this girl yet... (even if I found an awesome shirt with the text "Shut up and wipe my fucken ass". My small revolt is buying trains, cars and blue clothes for her instead of girlie stuff...

My brother deserves extra kudos for being an excellent cook, so I love to go and sit at his veranda with the smell of fresh grilled meet... oh, and a cold beer maybe ;)

There is much more... but now I'll go out in the sun and let a cold beer cool my mind after a day at work...
Now go out and have sex in semi-public places (not town squares and such) like... park your car on the side of the road, go a few steps away, check for ants, and then enjoy... ;)

MWAH!

2006-05-05T09:34:00.000+02:00

Friday again!!
Blue sky and beer outdoor IS METAL

Today I'm having a lunchdate with my son. He's up in Stockholm for getting his 1st passport as an "adult", being 18 now... Lucky me I'm not getting older in the same pace my kids are growing up! Yesterday I had a coffee with one of his best friends who visited the town, so if the rumors about me dating hardly legal guys reaches you, you know why ;)

My son in one of his later haircuts:

Today you are offered some good reading as usual: HERE . Tobben is an excellent drummer in two great bands, Vomitory and God Among Insects (both mentioned before in my blog, at least once ;) ). Strapping Young Lad is fucken great, both the old albums, like the one covered here and the newer like Alien. Looking so much forward to hear them this summer, at least once, maybe twice.

Other things coming up, soon Vicious Art will kick my ass in Haninge and probabaly a visit at Dead Generation festival in Köping (mainly for one band, maybe two). We have to support the initiatives coming or there will be no more music than the big concerts in Stockholm.
Another good club is Club Distortion, usually having their events at Pub Anchor at Sveavägen. There I saw Lingua and Vicious Art among others. Yeeeeeeeee-haaaaaaaaa!!

Weekend will hopefully be relaxed, not much happening. My wallet says that I can't party every weekend as much as I'd like to, so I will miss the GAI-gig in Västerås :/ But if my poster will reach Lord K before they have their Karlstad show, maybe I'll go there instead! Fuck Swedish customs. I'm sure they have my GAI-poster at the wall where they drink the alcohol they have taken from tourists coming home from warmer countries... :P They really deserve some serious spanking!!!

Kisses to all of you! Have great fun!!!

Happy birthday Ms Winther!!!!
And some greetings for other ppl too

Here's the Norgayan Commander captured in Örebro!
May your birthday be fun, exciting and great!!!! *smooches*

Beside this, I wish to send a big HI including hugs to Trollie, and hoping that the flight went well and that you will have the months of your life!!!

And kisses to every one else that I care about! And sending warm thoughts to:

The best kids ever brought up on this planet (Stoffe, Tove & Oscar)
Some of the ppl at work - not banning me for my lifestyle and being supportive
Everyone from this weeks training camp; leaders and participants
Musicians creating and playing great music - making music almost as good as sex
My closest friends which have kicked my ass to finally make a decision
Everyone who I in some kind of regular way have contact with in different ways - live, sms, mails, phone

Sometimes it's great to have a "ego-centered" week. Makes time for reflection of what really matters to me, and which parts of my life that only steals my energy...

Have great weekend all!!!

NP: The Project Hate MCMXCIX: The bleeding eyes of a breeding whore
And the part between about 5.55 and 8.00 in that tune is so fucken brilliant it makes my ears fall off in the car when I blast it at neighbor scaring volume. There's no voice like Jörgens, and when you mix it with Jonnas it stands out even more.

Global domination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(...and some female domination too...)

I had one of the best fridays in my life (does it say something about the other fridays... well maybe :P).

Arrived in Örebro at 6.45 pm and then with some guidance from Johan (Abyss) and Hanna, I arrived in time to take a couple of beers (thanks to Efil making some gentleman shopping for me) and have some nice chats with the people I fucken adore from the forum!!! Thanks to all of you at the "warm-up" for making an alian feel so welcome!!!

And this truly is female domination:

And the guys... well they were actually nice too ;) But Peter Harrysson didn't show up, as we thought he would ^^

And then we took a cab the 200? meters to Satin (well a bit more but still ;) ), just to notice we already heard thunder from downstairs...

So we fight our way through the already extatic crowd and woooooooooooooooooooow!!! It was a great gig!! Defintely on my top list together with Vicious Art at Anchor about a year ago.

God Among Insects dominated the place!

Lord K:

And here K with the voice... Nice job Caligula!!!
And Masse with Elof, doing a more than excellent job this evening too!!And since Tobben is a master piece behind the drums, but as usual, a drummer is hidden behind the set, if you're not a giant. So here's a pic of him after, with Peter (Efil) and Johan.

Well it didn't end with GAI... there was a short break for breathing, smoking, drinking (during Kataklysm - guys not being bad enough to make me ill, but not making any impression whatsoever either)

Then we had the "old" (about my age - hehe) heroes in Bolt Thrower conquering the stage. There might not be any surprises or shocks during their gig, but their lowest landmark is still so fucken high class it's pure pleasure to hear and - if you're tall enough or standing on the tables - see them all! Jo is one of the best female metal musicians that I, with my limited brain function, know about!

And just to proof to you all that I was actually there too, I borrow a pic from Efil (if not OK, spank me next time we meet :P).
With Bolt Thrower on stage, we increased our length with about one table or so, and we saw them kick ass! Thx for the banging company Ms Winther and Tobben (and Johan, very much to the right, but I do recognize the shirt)! You, aswell as everyone else that I met for the first time, are fucken awesome!

I'll do this thing anytime again, over and over again. But I wont bring the car then... And I hope even more guys from the forum can show up then.
Love and kisses to you all!!! //Anna

And now, it's mine, mine, mine!!!!!!!!!!! My precious......

2006-04-20T10:19:00.000+02:00

Soon it's here - THE friday
*cheers* GD fellow stinkers

So tomorrow my amazing sports car (Peugeot 306...... *hrmm*) will take me to Örebro, and my first visit at both the place for the gig: Satin and Hotel Skomakaren. It might be my last visit at the hotel too, not sure if there will be anything left after, and if so, that I will be welcome back...

Anyway, there is so much I look forward to! Finally I will listen to more than short samples of Zombienomicon (the samples you can find HERE ). Oh and some old favorites too I hope, like Headless Nun Whore and Uhr-Nazuur... if not at Satin, maybe as karaoke on the hotel?? :D

At least I will get home with one of these fuckers, and surely a sexy shirt if they provide some in smaller size than XXXL.

And then, "old", "classical" Bolt Thrower will kick our asses.
Even if I think they're a great band, for that night they are my second choice. I have to be rude and not even mension the 3rd act. It will be some background music for a couple of beers I think ;)

And then I'll finally (might be scary - but hell, I'm a brave woman) get to see a lot of awesome ppl face to face, that I only insulted (or tried to hit on??) on the forum before. People from all over Sweden, and not to forget, Norgay!!! Spank me, but I'm looking so much forward to this, even if it might lead to noone answering my PM's on the forum anymore :P

I'll try to get myself together and post some photos and comments on sunday, since after I'm off for some training all week, with no computer (How will I survive???). Since it's a teambuiding, leadership training and finding your inner strengths and weaknesses involved in the training, I'll probably go humming on christians hymns and drink green tea the weekend after, after deciding to take a year without sex, metal and alcohol ;) KIDDING!!!!!!

See some of you tomorrow and talk to you others later!
Kowabunga Örebro!!!

2006-04-15T11:28:00.000+02:00

After three days of sneezing like a maniac
It's getting better

Lucky me, since I have plans for my life, and they don't include freezing under a blanket at home!

So just wishing everone a great, lazy weekend, doing whatever you wish to do!!

Smooches!!!
Anna - soon in a better mood...

PS It's spring - it's time to have a ride on the bike, no???

2006-04-05T13:33:00.000+02:00

I can't wait until I have the interview completed
I must say a few words about April 3rd

FUCKEN AWESOME!!!

Seeing M.A.N was great. More impressive and tight than last summer as Transport League. I guess it was true when Tony said it felt good to give up the guitar and focus on holding that mic in an aggresive way. Spinning the CD this weekend to check it out!

Then we had some Misery Index as mid act: I admit, I was curious about them after reading Fishermane's Interview with Jason here. Before reading that, I had never heard of them...
Not my kind of music really... but they really gave us all they had for about 20 minutes or something (time flies at live gigs... if it's good ;) ) and I enjoyed their energy and how they played with duo growling. Their drummer was impressive and their bass player were intense, almost insane I'm afraid :D

And then they came, first time in Sweden since... TOO LONG!
I wont tell too much about it, since some is included in the interview with Raymond Herrera that (hopefully ;) ) will be published at the same site as Fishermane had the one with Jason.

But what can I say... You can say whatever crap you wish about Fear Factory but they have all I wish from a live band. Energy and fun on stage, intelligent kicking the 17 yo kids of the audience asses when they can't stop shouting about songs. "This is no fucking karaoke show" Burton said! And still... he gave them what they needed, asked for and more... As did Ray, the one and only, Christian, who I think smiled through all evening, and Byron, the sexiest bassist on earth... well among a few other bassists that I have some sort of crush on, but nevertheless... Aaaahhh, I hope he comes back with Strapping Young Lad aswell! And soon!

I'll have to wrap up this interview thingie soon, and of course, when its done, I'll force you losers to visit GD again!! :)

And my wallet tells me... no more live thingies until Örebro, 21st of April... but I can live on this last one for some time!!!

Later cuties, brothers and sisters, metal lovers and other sex addicts!

2006-03-24T16:35:00.000+01:00

Music, music, music...
Yesterday was gooooooooooood

Pic one: Loke Nyberg! Pic two: Frasse and his support!

I'm not just into metal...even if it's my favorite. But anyway...
Yesterday I went to Mosebacke (in the summer with an amazing view over Stockholm from there and ok prices on beer). Two guys, with insane lyrics and humour played there for a couple of hours. Frasse Haraldsen, and Loke Nyberg. You have to be able to understand Swedish to enjoy them, but I did, thats for sure!!! I even managed to talk them into kissing at the bar after - wonder if it works with the guys GAI and BT in Örebro too :D

Spring is coming now... and I love it!!!!!!!!

2006-03-17T13:57:00.000+01:00

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
What a lunch...

I had a lunch at this place today F12
And after sex and music, there can't be anything as good as good food and drinks.
Since they present the menus on their site too, with prices, you will all understand, I didn't pay the bill myself :)
Free lunches always taste better than paid for ;) but this one was the best I can remember... Fresh pasta with morels cooked in cream, and added baby greens (green asparagus and such). And enough food for not leaving more hungry than when you go there!

Just had to get it out... I'm feeling so good, and it's friday!

Bubye, and go play some Vicious art now and get weekend in your system! MWAH!

2006-03-16T10:53:00.000+01:00

More daylight at least...
But more fucken snow

So a bit of comfort is:

just 2 weeks left and I will see M.A.N and Fear Factory in Stockholm. Pure loooooooooooooooooove!
with a optimistic view of things, just a month and I will see God Among Insects and Bolt Thrower in Örebro! Looooooooooooooooove! Hate! :)
the o/s on my pc at home crashed, but I have some of the stuff saved at work, so I can still get turned on by some great music
a new staff presentation made at http://www.globaldomination.se and I really think I have big crush on them all. There's no writing like theirs...
Weed the wild, Tanja joins the beating & Exit wounds. Serious amazing fucken great piece of art!
Divo... Soon I'll go humming "Puppy love".
Friends, new and old ones... Keeping my smile up and going, more than I deserve
SMS... Upset with the idiotic PC at home and not being able to do my evening round at my favorite forums. And there - a "cheer up" sms from a friend. Would I survive nowadyas without my phone (-s)??
Beer... Kilkenny, Spitfire, Westmalle trappist, Guinness... one endless row of great taste!
My son Christoffer who is now 18, so I can go to the pub with him, and he doesn't mind my company... at least sometimes. (Just a bit jealous about his trip to Germany and Rock am Ring)
Finding out that I can actually have female friends too... the rate has been 19 guys/1 gurl, but slowly improving the gurrly rate! But hard to find those with the same interests and humor as I have... rare species it seems!

Looking quite happy now, don't I? ;)

2006-03-09T17:28:00.000+01:00

Just a Quickie ;)
Nah, not sex (this time)

Yesterday was fun... I had a lunch date with this lil' fellow: (Hard to understand he will be 45 kilos in less than 6 months)

And then, after being totally in love... I went back to work a few hours. Looks good to do so, no?

In the evening I went to "warm up" before the big company event at a friends house. We had Harem stew (no, not including female meat) and great wine. And FUN!!!

The we went to Globen (big arena in Sthlm, for those of you who didn't know, mensioned in January blog too) to listen some girl cover band and some Swedish pop music. But in the middle of all this, we had a great performance, not metal at all by:

Finnish violinist (and ex Baywatch babe) Linda Lampenius. She knew how to tame that instrument... Not metal at all, but she made a impressive performance!

Then it was some cheap Swedish "tralalala"-music, that would make most ppl happy (we were almost 3000 ppl there, all ages and tastes...), GES and Lena Ph. Well, doesn't matter if you like it or not. You've heard these tunes since you were a kid, spammed in the different radio channels, so what the f**k: I sang along :) A nice evening in great company, and I behaved so well! Hardly have a hangover today... Small partys at work are usually heavier when it comes to alcohol and hangovers ;)

Anyways, later dudes, hillbillies, cowgirls and lovers (and you other ppl too)

2006-03-07T15:14:00.000+01:00

It's an awesome day!!
*humming in a gurrly way*

Ok first of all, since yesterday, I'm listening to Vicious Art as much as I can!
Their new EP is so raw, so great, so... can't find the words!
I was first impressed with VA in May 2005, when I heard them Live at Pub Anchor (Club Distortion), Stockholm. I bought their CD soon after and by accident I found Global Domination, the forum where they hang out when not making new stomach punching music!
Check here: VICIOUS ART (Check the pics too... sexy guys! ;) )

Then second... A close friend of mine is bringing home this cute puppy tonight, and I will date them thursday! Well I said that I'm not interested, if he doesn't bring the dog! It's a Corsican Watchdog (some sort of Mastiff I think) and I already love him (the DOG!) so I'm applying as a baby(dog)sitter already.

I'm really a cat person... Cats are smart, they can survive without us humans telling htem what to do or not to do. They can be arrogant and rude, but if you feel sad, they are always there for you! Anyway... after seeing the pics of these lovely puppies. I'm a 90% cat person and 10 % dog person :P
Anyway, this is how one of his sisters look like:

Beside from this, just in a happy mode. Sun is shining from a blue sky. The snow is sparkling white.
And I just understood that I gave about a zillion puppies their life: (Thank you ex-boss for the pic!)

Bubye for now CU soon!
And Xtra kisses for Ralphie, for sharing his excellent music, Goiter and Belgiantroll for heating my comments, and Redwater (drummer of VA) for the soon in my possesion Ltd version of the new EP. Oh, and for my Capricorn friend too, IF he brings the puppy thursday!

2006-02-26T17:32:00.000+01:00

Never felt so good to spank some Finnish ass
Well, a close call maybe, but GOOOOOOOOLD!

Just smiling now... bigger grin than Steven Tyler or Mick Jagger!

Kisses to almost everyone in this world (except for Bush and a few others...)

2006-02-20T16:10:00.000+01:00

Isn't it strange
How your mind works

Some weeks, things feel like a mess, even before you get started. Work, life, friends...
And then, the usually smelly, disgusting, awful monday, turns out to be a totally ok day!
Without anything really special happening.

I'm in excellent mood and today it feels like noone can beat me.
I better take advantage of this feeling, since I know that tomorrow can be totally different :P
You know these female mood swings - ha ha

So let's hope for another amazing game of Swedish female goalie Kim tonight, and may some Dark Funeral tickets still be available on friday when I'm paid for my daily slavery ;)

Kisses to all my insane net friends, keeping my spirit up even during bad days! Oh, and a few kisses to my friends that I actually meet too ;)

Looking forward both tuesday and thursday evening :) Couldn't ask for better dates for any of these evenings!

2006-02-17T18:11:00.000+01:00

Man.Machine.Industry
Melting my brain...

Once upon a time there was a young (and more innocent than now) girl, living in the middle of nowhere in the Swedish countryside.
Living not far from her, there was a guy called Bergman. At that time, the girl had no idea that there was so much explosive music just waiting to be expressed in a lot of projects made by young mr Bergman.

Mr Bergman himself:

Nowadays, beside his work for daily living, he had 3 festivals arranged, Dirty Black Summer -03, -04, -05 (and we are BEGGING for a new one -06), and play in more than one brilliant band.
My favorite (maybe since Bonefied is still secret and hidden) is M.M.I. - Man.Machine.Industry.

My cousin Mike, also known as noise creator...

They've had several demos out, always improving and today being more fucken awesome than ever. Of course, like with a lot of GREAT bands in Sweden, they haven't been signed. But if it's not coming now, I will be amazed...

And here's Emil:

You can read more about the band here: HTMD - and on their page you can find links to their pages on myspace and other places, to have a taste of their music.

Next live appearance that I know about, is at Dead Generation Festival in Köping, Sweden in May, but I hope they will appear on some Stockholm club before that!

Experience and Enjoy! My favorite is "Why hereoes fade away" btw, but you don't need any recommendations... Read the reviews on the page, and then stop just sitting there, but go listen now

Have a great weekend everyone!
*cheers*
Anna

2006-02-14T09:05:00.000+01:00

Raymond Herrera
Use your sticks (and feet) for me

Today I had some awesome reading checking one of my regular forums... M.A.N. (ex Transport League) will be the support act for Fear Factory when they're in the Nordic countries.

That will make me exhausted!!! I mean they perform at Klubben... A venue where there is no oxygen left whatsoever at 10 pm, with a half crappy support act - with M.A.N. it will be worse!

Well, even if I wont be much of a human the day after, it will be worth it.
Transport League actually rocked my ass pretty well last summer at Dirty Black Summer festival and I've been looking forward to hear more from M.A.N...

And Fear Factory... well call me a nerd, but these drums really can get me as close to an orgasm as any music can...
I really hope there will be a bunch of nice old tunes too, even if I think Transgression (one of my 1st blogs here) isn't as bad as some try to say.

I'm sure I'll be a happy guurrl after these bands performing 3rd of April!

Oh, and for you guys, still believing in true love and such (mwohahaha) - Happy Valentines Day!!!

2006-01-31T16:12:00.000+01:00

Now I'm a fucken star
I feel like a VIP for at least one hour

I was interviewed by K, in fucken charge of the most time consuming site for me.
I hope they wont kick me out for my replies...

Anyway, this is the shit GLOBAL DOMINATION.

So many sechsy guys there, and smart girls, and this last interview thingie really kicks ass! I'm laughing - at work!

Beside from this, I just can't wait until this cold, wet, smelly winter is over!
Don't we all need more parties, beer, money, whatever?

I think I'm in love, with all of you. Just to make the winter better...

Smooches!

2006-01-19T11:36:00.000+01:00

Some days really sucks
For no special reason at all

But they really do... Like today. Nothing helps... Just the feeling of missing so many important things in life.

Guess I could use a hug.

Well I go into Doom mode, that only make things worse, but whatever...

And fuck, I don't even have a penis to play with :P

2006-01-17T15:39:00.000+01:00

Because I was finally there - he won!!!
Two prices

Wow, that was an awesome event at our huge golfball in Stockholm

So many of my old heroes - Börje Salming, Ingemar Stenmark, Thomas Ravelli, Kenny Bräck were there... And everytime someone mentioned Tony Rickardsson, the crowd went totally crazy. He's been nominated sooooooooo many times for Swedish Best Sportsman and the Peoples Award "Jerring-priset" and never succeded.
But then I came there and brought the necessary luck, and he won!!!!
Two prices! Everyone stood there, cheered, clapped, screamed for this amazing guy. He has 6 (!!!) World Championchip titles in Speedway and not only that... He was the only sportsman nominated, bright enough to use an engine to get some speed ;)

Thanks Mattias for bringing me as your company! You are a superior friend and I love that we can share dirty jokes even during dinner :)

And here's my hero: Tony Rickardsson and my second hero Mattias.

Thanks again for an fucken great evening - even if there was no metal what so ever, except for Tony... That guy IS metal =)

2006-01-15T13:12:00.000+01:00

I'm sure you didn't know
But I'm so into sports

Well actually, mainly motor... I went to my first Hill Climb event when I was 8 months old, with a fever... And my grand mother considered my parents totally insane. Well I'm actually more insane than my parents nowadays, but anyway, since then I can't count how many times I went to a rally, moto cross, rally cross, drag racing, truck racing, touring car championship or just plain car/mc shows. The ppl around are as nice as metal ppl in my opinion, well most of them anyway.

But tomorrow, if I'm not still having this fucken fever, I'm going to the Swedish Sports Award thingie. The only guy using an engine when doing sports and being nominated is Tony Richardson, a speedway hero. The rest is more into athletics, soccer, golf, hockey, skiing and such.
But in 2000 a friend of mine had the special award "Sportspegelnpriset" for his achievement in golf for disabled, so he got some invitation to the event and the after party. And he dare to bring me along!!! Me - the least athletic person in Sweden! Well, I'll try to behave so he will get his invitation next year too.

Well for you swedes interested - link is here

At the moment, I'm listening to Tyburn a lot... And it's awesome!!! Seems you don't have to come from a freezing country to make great metal music, huh? ;)

And yep, here's a pic with me in my new Vomitory t-shirt... Could have been a better pic (and user of the shirt), but the t-shirt is really nice!!! Thx Tobben!

2006-01-11T13:08:00.000+01:00

I hate being ill!!!
Bah - I need a male (mail?) nurse ;)

Getting back from work yesterday and freezing like I guess these ugly naked chinese dogs do during Swedish winter... So with a bunch of clothes and a thick blanket, I sneaked down in the sofa, watching crappy TV-shows.
Still feeling like a zombie, but not in a positive way :P

On the positive side: I have a new t-shirt coming!!!

Hot!! :D

Not really a girlie, but... a lot of space for me if I keep up the pace of eating as during holidays ;)

But now, I can't go to see Rövfitta tonight at Tanto *crying*. I just hope that I will have nice company for next wednesday, to see Lingua instead...

And another thing I'm really waiting for is a file from Ralphie. Don't work too much, brother!!!

And here comes my overall chart of music... And ignore that Ramones stuff, I forgot the player with their X-mas tunes on at work, so it's sort of misleading ;)
And yep - I've listened a lot to In Flames new tunes!

Later and hopefully healthier ;)
//Anna

2006-01-09T19:55:00.000+01:00

I need a Sugar Daddy
All application in comments please ;)

I wish to see a LOT of music live this year - funding needed

I wish a few more tattoos made... I just got started!

I miss my old cat, he was about like this one... Wish a new, as cute. Cats are evil in a good way!

I need a fast car, and sechsy...

And a drivers licence for bikes and a bike - or in emergency... a guy with a bike :P

And cash to buy more hot shoes and boots, can't have to many...

Please send your statement from the bank, certificate showing you're more than 85 years old, and if you wish, a photo to nunc.aut.nuncuam@gmail.com

Lub ya! Even broke bastards like me :P Just buy me a fucken beer, would ya?

2006-01-05T20:02:00.000+01:00

Depressive but still
I like this music so much

My cousin makes the noises (drum machine). When not playing around like this, he also plays in Last Laugh and sometimes with Bergman in his project Man.Machine.Industry. (http://www.htmd.nu)

Massiv Ångest (hear them here) is not that active, but we who were smart enough to go to Dirty Black Summer this summer hade the pleasure not to hear just these guys (from where I grew up, Gnesta) but also Engel, Painfield and Transport League from Gothenburg and the gorgeous Punkheads from Strängnäs, Da Skywalkers. Some great live acts in 2 fucken great days (and nights), with sun, heat and cold beers hosted by Telge Choppers. Ahhhhh... summer! *sigh*

Well thats it for now folks... Have a amazing weekend!!! Smooches!

2006-01-04T21:20:00.000+01:00

New Year - New Camera
Practising...
It's freezing in Sweden at the moment, but also very beautiful. I look out through the window and it looks gorgeous (note: from the inside!!!, When freezing, it's hard to appreciate ;) )
But it's so hard to catch it in a pic!!!
Here's a couple of tests... I need more practise.

BTW, Tyburn in my speakers now. I just love to discover new great music - cheers Godless! Only bad thing... I wish more of it =)

Hope the start of 2006 has been great for everyone...
XOXO Anna

2005-12-31T14:31:00.000+01:00

Hell YES!!!!
Enjoyed... and let the pics speak...

2005-12-29T21:10:00.000+01:00

Tomorrow!!!
Last live gig for me this year

And not bad at all!!! I will celebrate the end of this year watching Dissections last gig with old material and Behemoth as their support at The Shrine (yeah, link here)

If it will be the great evening I suspect, I will be sleeping through all celebration of new year coming ;)

Wish everyone a fucken great 2006. May dreams you hardly dared to dream come true!

Sinful kisses and metal hugs Anna

2005-12-27T20:04:00.000+01:00

Ahhhhhhhh Xmas is over
Counting down...

To 30th of December when Dissection will blast my ears with some good music!

But today I also had another surprice, and a fucken nice one:
A taste of God Among Insects coming album
Listen and enjoy!!!

I also had a new Camera for Xmas - my old one had 1.3 m pixels and almost no possible settings at all. It also had some hard times, during outdoor gigs this summer with Transport League among others, so it had seen it's best days for sure. Now I'm up for some decent shots again, as long as I stay resonable sober I guess.

Here's a link to my new camera

And a sample pic :P

2005-12-22T12:17:00.000+01:00

Giving up work for today
And this also means...

Not too much time for blogs or other net activities until the 25th (since we celebrate Xmas the 24th in Sweden)

I hope all of you will have some great lazy days, however you choose to spend 'em...

Kisses and/or spanking to all of you (whatever you prefer)

I hope some fat man will bring you something you really wish (warm socks, sweater with surreal patterns etc etc)

Enjoy!

2005-12-20T11:43:00.000+01:00

Things are getting more insane than ever
Totally overbooked at work & earthquake at home

arghhhhhhhhhh - I wish it was at least 30th of December so worst part would be over and I could spend the evening smashing my ears with noise from Dissection.

Hate december, it's fucken cold, and nothing works out as planned - BAH!

At least hoping for some fun, when Santa comes to spank me...

2005-12-17T22:44:00.000+01:00

Just sneaking in for another silly thingie I did
(Instead of cleaning...)

One of these tests you know... I can't ignorre them without trying to see what comes out.
I'm addicted!!!

Angel??? Hahaha!!!

Anyway, I found a guy who make great comic strips (most of them anyway...)
Gave some good laughs!
Example here: (and link here )

2005-12-17T08:46:00.000+01:00

I hate going from "disaster chaos" to "possible to enter the flat"
Need some really good music to survive

Everytime I actually found my flat under some Terrorizer, bills that should have been paid looong ago and pizza boxes, still holding some spices, I say to myself: " A small amount of daily, or at least weekly maintanence will do this much easier".
But then... getting home from work, I tend to slip into the sofa, watching Scrubs or whatever and fall asleep, or end up sitting like now, in front of the PC, surfing and spamming forums, chatting with friends, surfing hot sites (like This site ), blogging, whatever... I'm no different from when I was 12 y o!
Usually, when my parent calls, saying they're coming over, they also say, "No, we know how you are, you don't need to clean things up". Well it's freaking Xmas now, and more ppl "accidently" pass by... Anyone has any slave to trade??

Ahhhhhh - friends
(I'm sooooo not hungry)

Yeah, my parents fucked (up) a bit... so I was born in December.
Very well... I was the last one being allowed to do all this stuff you wish to do as a teenager. Driving, going to the pub, buying alcohol at "Systembolaget"... Finally, I think I've left that stuff behind me. Almost :P

Anyway, next week, I'm totally busy at work, bla bla bla, cleaning up a mess at home, finding gifts for kids and so on. So my friend decided to take me to lunch already today... as a gift.
So instead of half a sandwich at the desk, I found myself sitting with a Filet Mignon at a nice restaurant and a relaxed lunch for once.

Excellent gift, instead of something wrapped in a package...
And yes, at my birthday I will become, like... something around 27 maybe...

Stop laughing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And for you who dig this bearded man... This might cheer up your day!

I killed my pet...
No, not having dog for dinner

Just the "Bluedevil" fish that used to live here on blogspot. He messed up my page totally, since I don't know enough about layout, to fix things up...
Yesterday I found out, that if I post certain scripts as a blog, EVERYTHING is a mess. Suddely fontsize is 6 pts, and for aged ppl like myself, that's more than impossible...

One day I will learn, hopefully... Until then, after having everything remade, links etc etc, I stick to posting simple things like this nonsense...

Cheers all sexy bloggers out there!

Note to self: WOW, Earthen Ring, Pellus = Tinwe, Ethal = Gongri och Ray = Nlene

Have a ticket now...
For Dissection 30 th of December

What that will do for my New Years Eve... no one knows. And actually I don't care! I'm not too much for traditions... I can survive some, for people close to me that appreciate this more than me! But for me, anytime, with good friends (and even better including great metal) is a good time...
The only days I have a problem with are mondays... I HATE FUCKEN MONDAYS!!!
I just wish they'd disappear, send them to someone who wish them... But I guess that would leave Tuesdays bad... Bah, whatever...
I'll just surf some rock-porn and get a glimpse of some sechsy metal-guys, and suddenly, today being monday is just a blurry memory :P

2005-12-07T20:23:00.000+01:00

Yep, I had a few beers...
So I had to "powder my nose" - hehe

And since I was the one taking most shots at the party, I took the opportunity to look myself in the mirror... SCARY!!!!

And then, you haven't seen me the morning after...

XOXO to all my wonderful netfriends that often makes my day! Let's make it real!

2005-12-06T22:06:00.000+01:00

Ok, so I love taking all these tests you can find on the net, that really doesn't mean anything

So does it make me a bad person? No, that is caused by some other stuff I like to do ;)

Your Monster Profile

Insane Murderer
You Feast On: Tofu
You Lurk Around In: The Hearts of Men
You Especially Like to Torment: Groupies

What's" Your Monster Name?

Only disappointing thing about this one was, that I'd love to be a groupie, if Zakk just asked :P

So to the results...
Hard Rock Open 2005

Some participants discussing tactics and strategy

I must start with saying: It was a great event, and I had a blast, even if most people are more into oldschool than I am. I learned about some new bands, I've never heard of before, and of course, met a lot of really nice people, that I hope to share more fun with in the future!

Things were well planned, we had some nice food (not very metal to have a salad though ;) ), and not a boring second until we left the building!

So, here we go - this is how things finished, in a very democratic way:

1. Årets låt 2005 (Best song of the year)
Well, I figured out, even before I got there, that my taste for death metal wouldn't score much...
So maybe, bootlicking for the audience, I played Angry Inch with Type O Negative, which is kind of a party starter for me. Well, no luck with that one. The other one, (deciding to celebrate Swedish metal), Entombed with Out of Hand, scored even less. At least in this class... But hey, I wanted to show what I like, without too much of a shock (had GAI, Dissection, Satariel and Sanctification in mind and prepared too, but as the evening developed... Entombed it was). So in the final, we had quite a mix (my acts not in the final, by far...). Bachman Turner Overdrive, Jörn Lande, Monster Magnet, Apocalyptica...
And the winner was: SPACELORD with Monster Magnet! Think that the fact that it's been in a quite good commercial lately also helped... Recognized acts seems to score more, good or not!

2. Årets tyngsta (Heaviest performance)
The final competion was between Slayer, Entombed, Electric Wizard and Rammstein (I think we had 5 Rammstein songs among the 40 played!). Since you couldn't vote for your own song, my vote was on Slayer! Entombed finished 2nd, so not too bad for a rookie.
But heaviest song of 2005 was Feuer Frei with Rammstein. Everyone (almost) was in a Rammstein mood, so not too surpriced :)

3. Årets utstyrsel (Best clothes (of the participants, not the bands :P))
Well arriving there, I heard that they've never been able to choose one... So just judge for yourselves, looking at the pic from last blog :P There's 4 of us there at least ;) I'll add more pics, as soon as I've had some from "Princess".

4. Årets groupie (Groupie of the year - Here I just must win, or I fucken die!!!)
Dee's Letter of recommendation made a success, where I dared to show it ;) And they said that the title was mine, if they hadn't change the competition at the end, to Rocker of the year... So we competed in "How to take a mouthful and still being able to speak", "How smooth you are with your fingers", "How good your are at drinking" and last but not least, the final was about "The way to move your hips...". Winner here was Pelle... So Grats there! But next year I wish an official Groupie Ranking!!! I need that for my CV and work applications ;)

So here: Pelle - the rocker

And here the guys that shows that experience might be the winning concept...

Hard Rock Open -05...
Just a taste...

A small headache today... So my report from the contest will come later... Need more sleep... Drink... Pillow...
Just thought I'd share a pic with you. It looks as I did have some fun :P

2005-11-30T21:59:00.000+01:00

Focus on saturday

In just a few days, the event of the year will take place!
I was invited to Hard Rock Open -05, so we are 20 guys (well more like 16 guys and 4 gurrrls) meeting to do our best not to stay sober and also have some very serious contests...

1. Årets låt 2005 (Best song of the year)
Now this doesn't have to be any new songs... we all bring our 2 favorites and through some qualification rounds, semi-finals and then final, we all vote and then we have a winner. Rumours say that noone remembers why they picked last years winner, since it happened kind of late at night and...you know, but even so ;)
2. Årets tyngsta (Heaviest performance)
Here I'm having my chance... A lot of my highly recommended colleagues do have a slightly different taste than me, Maiden, Judas Priest, Dio, AC/DC and so on... My contribution will be different!! I will do my best to blast these speakers to very small pieces!
3. Årets utstyrsel (Best clothes (of the participants, not the bands :P))
Going for a good ranking there too. I won't give it all out, since they might sneak in here, but my DF Spaghetti tank and 5 inch heels will be a good start. :)
4. Årets groupie (Groupie of the year - Here I just must win, or I fucken die!!!)
With some excellent help from Bullet Therapy and Sanctification *bows her head to the supporting Dee and Elofsson* there is no return... I will be the one with a diploma at her work desk saying "Excellent Groupie" or I quit ;)) In games and love, cheating can't be avoided!!!

Well the rest of it is just finding your way home later and a pretty awful hangover I guess!

May my shedevils forces be with me! I'll let you know if I survive ;)

Arghhhhhhhh.......

Sometimes I wonder why I can't be the lucky bastard, who was born with a silver (or gold) spoon, with billions of dollars from my parents to spend, and no mondays at work to bother about...
Be sure, I wouldn't be a "brat", but for some of the cash I would just travel everywhere where I could find great music played... Except for sex, good music is the thing that makes me feel sooooooooooooo good... Live metal... Yummie!!!
And it hurts when I can't afford or can't find the time to attend a live gig with a band I like.

Bah... mondays sucks!!!!!!!!!!!

Metal Magazines
- gives me taste for more

Another monday, and another issue of Metal Hammer to dig into... I love the mix of rubbish and good reviews I can find there, and more than anything else, I adore the CD's that come with it.

Today there is so much metal around, It's impossible to keep track of it. New bands, old bands with new releases, strange bands, crappy bands, bands that makes me smile for a day when I've finally found them.

Today I had a CD called Metal 2005, filled with bad, good and awesome music. I like Trivium, Chimaira and Black Label Society (of course ;) ). Listening more before I decide about Arch Enemy, God Forbid and Devildriver. Realizing that some of it, isn't for me... But surely for some people. And it's great to have some samples from new albums, so you can decide if to spend some bucks or not...

Todays MH also had some refreshing interviews with Machine Head and Trivium, a hillarious interview with Turbonegro and as usual, more reviews than I can ever check out... There's even a metal crossword for old ladies like myself ;)

Well, after listening the CD twice, I have to admit, there's an old favorite that is in my player now... "Still" - a ltd edition bonus CD from Nine Inch Nails. Trent is great at healing my soul...

Have a good one, all... and no, I'm not getting paid by MH for this. I read MetalManiacs, Kerrang, Slavestate Magazine, Close-Up, Sweden Rock and many other magazines too... ;)

Rachael Yamagata
- how did I find her

I'm a member at MySpace. A wonderful place when you're out looking for music not supported by the big and often extremely commercial record companies.

I talk there with friends also into music of all kinds, talk to people who actually have the skills to perform different kinds of sounds, and making it sound good, and of course, people just being there trying to find friends/partners/whatever.

One of the band I'd surely never heard about in Sweden is Bullet Therapy, with the charming Dee as a singer. It's wow to here their CD evolve from the first rough sound to something that really rocks! But for a band from Maryland, Sweden is not the main target for marketing... So I was lucky to start to chat with Dee and find their music. As a bonus I even get to see pictures of his extremly cute son, born this summer. =)

So when I logged in tonight, they were promoting this Rachael Yamagata... Never heard of... And I sneaked into her page, where you can listen 3 songs of hers... She describe herself sounding like "Janis Joplin meets Fiona Apple". Makes it even more exciting :) And she's not bad at all. I listen to two of her songs (the ones that I liked most) several times now. Thanks for sharing it Rachael. It's not metal at all, and still... I like it!

I have found both known (but unknown to me) bands there and artists I'm sure 99,9999 % of the population even never will hear about, but it's a great mix and a great opportunity to broaden your public if you're an artist/group.

I've met friends/made aquiantances, I've found music - what more can I ask for? Thats two of the most important things in my life. (When I can order some junk food from there, and get it delivered at my door, then their business idea is complete)

PS - I hate the fall incoming with such speed here... I'm freezing and I DON'T like it!!! I wish to have a reason to wear this t-shirt...D.S

Nine Inch Nails
- good so it hurts

Whenever you feel sad and down, but the tears doesn't want to start falling - let your speakers present to you - a voice so filled with pain it actually hurts.

People who saw Trent Raznor live, sitting down and singing "Something I can never have" and "Hurt" get tears in their eyes, even when being happy... It's years and years of misery in both the voice and the words.

I'll give you some samples from both of the songs:

"I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing thats real

the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything"

The beginning of Hurt which you can find on The Downward spiral album from 1994.

"I still recall the taste of your tears
Echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears
My favorite dreams of you still wash ashore
Scraping through my head till I dont want to sleep anymore

Come on tell me
You make this all go away
You make this all go awayI
m down to just one thing
And Im starting to scare myself

You make this all go way
You make this all go way
I just want something
I just want something I can never have

You always were the one to show me how
Back then I couldnt do the things that I can do now
This thing is slowly taking me apart
Grey would be the color if I had a heart"

From the album Pretty Hate Machine from 1989.

Well, they guy knows what he is talking about... He has lived a hard life until just recently, when he quit the drugs. And then came With Teeth, in may this year - and he still knows how to do it!!! There is still magic,anger, so much feelings in his voice and in the songs. Nine Inch Nails should have appeared on the MTV award show, but weren't allowed, since they wished to have a poster of George W Bush as background for their... how to put this... not in the republicans eyes proper patriotic singing... one part of "The hand that feeds" goes like this:

"What if this whole crusade's a charade
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood on which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine "

If you haven't explored the world of Nine Inch Nails (NIN) and Trent Raznor yet, then it's time now. I dream I could express my feelings half as good.

So let's enjoy Trent and hope that he wont be silent with his band for many years to come!

Music
- instead of punchbag

At least, that is how I work. Instead of puring hot coffee over a silly collegue, really kicking someones butt or throw myself over a bridge when things are bad, I try to find THE music for the moment.

I'm not a big fan of Rage Against the Machine, but when things makes me wish to... listening to their "Killing in the name of" and singing "F**k you, I wont do what they tell me" inside my head really helps. Angry Itch from the movie "Hedwig and the angry inch" but with Type O Negative takes me to party mood in no time. And listening to the dark sound of "Wreckage of my flesh" with My Dying Bride turns me on (oh I know, there's no really logic in that one, but it works).

So music really helps to keep me insane, when life itself doesn't!

Well, that's all for now folks! Just one thing more:
It's hard to remember someone who is like everyone - so be yourself, be special.

Jeff Wiedlandt
- The man, the myth, the legend

Born in 1967, like me, so how could he fail... and he didn't. But along his path of life, he changed his name to Zakk Wylde, and now (I hope) you know who I'm talking of. A WOW guitarrist, but also pianist (ever saw the video of "In this river"?), vocalist and of course - song writer.

When Zakk sent his demo tape to Ozzy Osbourne he was only 19 and willing to replace Jake E Lee who was a temporary solution as a guitarrist for Ozzy, after he tragically lost Randy Rhoads. Randy was someone Zakk really thought of as a superiour guitarrist and still he says that there is hard to find someone to beat him. The young mister Wylde was hired after just one audition, so I guess he wasn't that bad either!
So Zakk plays lead guitarrist in Ozzy's band, but he has also been able to make a few other things. Being a friend of Dimebag Darrell, he was also featured on Damageplans first album, he played with Yngwie Malmsteen on one of Derek Sherinan's albums, he was in the band Pride & Glory for their one and only album, and last but not least, he has his own band Black Label Society. When people ask Zakk if he wont focus on his own project instead of backing up Ozzy, he says: "Just because you move out from your parents house, it doesn't mean that you stop loving your father". Enough said there...

Zakk Wylde has a certain style of playing - using "chicken pickin'", used a lot in country music, and pinch/artificial harmonics. Almost as known as his special style of playing the guitar, is the guitar itself. Gibson Les Paul with a characteristic bulls-eye. It's a perfect match with his bike too, one of his other big interests.

In one of Metal hammers issues this year, there was an interview with Zakk, where they asked him what he did to have this excellent beard. The only way to grow such a beard, according to Zakk, was to go down between a womans legs and use the moist there... If I'd been 17 and not 37, I would have blushed...

Well after knowing all this, why don't you go and get yourself a copy of his most recent album Mafia, or his Hangover album (perfect for hangovers, promise...)?

Fear Factory
- Transgression (2005)

Last few days, I've been listening a lot to Fear Factory's Transgression. I can't say I fell in love totally from the start... but after swapping from crappy small things in my ears to a more suitable room for Ray's drums, there it was.

I must admit I was a bit surprised when the first track I listened to was the U2 cover I will follow, but then... I love good surprises, and I guess no one thought they would make a full album of 12 songs sounding like copies of each other... If I wish to feel comfortable instead, I listen to Empty Vision, Millenium and Moment of Impact. They just force me to make my own mini-moshpit (is that really possible?). If my mum comes to visit, I can even make her enjoy Echo of my scream and New Promise. And back to the U2 cover again, well, for me I prefer the heavier parts of Transgression, but if they didn't explore, how could they evolve?

Enough good music for me to feel satisfied and sneak into their homepage http://www.fearfactory.com to watch mr Herrera try to break his drums from three different angles... and if I miss "the good old days", I have their old albums - still beating the crap out of most new music I find.

And after they've finished their tour in U.S, there is no reason at all why they shouldn't hit Sweden with a brainmelting, totally unforgettable consert, right?

Cheers from Blue
