We're celebrating New Years Eve in Chicago! (Brief recap.)

My first visit to Chicago was with Daniel in 2006. We stayed at the Motel 6 in Schiller Park. It was a tremendous time.


This was the best photo I took in Chicago that time around.


When I returned to Chicago the following year we played here. Logan Square Auditorium.


This is where I slept that night.

We returned to Logan Square Auditorium in the early spring of 2008 and I don't have any photos of that apparently. It was pretty cool, but maybe not as great as my other visits. I remember walking with Tammy to get some mexican food and putting on Steve Reich as the pre-show music. Oh yeah, this show was when my computer froze for the first time. Classic!


In October of last year I was flown in to play music at an absolutely fantastic wedding in Chicago. It was a perfect couple of days.


Early this summer we spent a day in Chicago on our way from Alaska to Brazil. We stayed at a nice hotel and I did some Chicago shopping.


Get ready Chicago, I (and a few other major players in the game of life) will be back for New Years Eve, playing at the Empty Bottle with the Jens Lekman experience.

Me + Swote

I'll be performing with Frida & Emma of Swote next week here in Gothenburg. It's going to be very exciting. We'll be providing a live score to the classic silent movie The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

One of the dopest songs of all time and a photo of a really cool train

vertical epic reup

It was brought to my attention that the link to last years' Vertical Epic mix had died, so here's a fresh one.

The future!

this year's vertical epic mix

So, I decided that the Vertical Epic mix that I did last year will be a reccurring phenomenon. A good way to at least present one musical collage every year. This year the mix will celebrate Stone's Vertical Epic 09.09.09, which is released in Sweden on the first of December. This year's VE is quite a bit darker than 07.07.07, and that'll surely be reflected in the mix. Naturally this will all come into place when the beer is being enjoyed in December.

some nerve

Ok, so maybe you thought that this blogggg was dead. If you did I certainly can't blame you, I totally forgot about it for a while. And when I felt that I had something important to share with the world I thought that a simple facebook status would suffice. What a fool I was.
I am happy to present the best pop happening since Jens sent me "An argument with myself" and I played it endlessly:
The newest song from Most Valuable Players.

Finally officially the best pop group in the world.

Fortfarande stört-aktuellt!

Ok, ok. We're done now.

This photo was taken last night in Santiago, Chile. We played a fantastic last show in an old salt factory. My midi controller was stolen the previous night in Buenos Aires so I had to do the show by funking the laptop mouse. It went well.

This morning I went to the airport at 5 AM and went I got there I was rushed onto a different flight than I was originally supposed to go on, with no real reason given (at least this was not delivered in English). My check in bag was left behind sans luggage tag and I still don't know if I'll ever see it again. I am currently in Sao Paulo enjoying a lovely 10 hour layover. I am juggling the two activities of trying to not fall asleep and checking in on the status of my lost bag.

With that said: I am coming back to California (and later, Sweden). I can't wait.

And mail correspondence should be back to normal fairly soon.
