Ljura Ljud.

Man kan ju undra varför jag blandar svenska och engelska här på min lilla hemsida, men det bara blev så. Det är ungefär lika många svenska läsare som utländska, så det är egentligen helt idiotiskt.

Trying to explain here all you non swedish people why I sometimes write in swedish, and I don’t have any good reasons, I’m just lazy. Sorry, I will get better but today I will write in Swedish.

Igår var jag och tittade på Lilla Lovis. Mycket märklig tillställning på det numera smått legendariska Blå Huset i Norrköping. Norrköping som har gått och blivit en sådan fantastisk stad. Det finns nåt här som jag saknade när jag bodde i Linköping. En del tror kanske att det är lite samma samma men det är det inte. Och otroligt mycket engagerade människor finns det också här i krokarna. Ja, här i Ljura har man det bra. Hästarna hoppar omkring i sin hage och det är full rulle i min lilla studio. Och när man inte orkar mixa mer, då kan man spela tv-spel. Igår spöade jag tillexempel Bebop på Fifa ’11. Idag fick jag stryk av Risten i Fifa ’12.

Här är en gammal bild på Ljura centrum. Det ser exakt likadant ut nu.

Den här bloggen var en gång i tiden full av musik och videos och annat skoj, men det är ju 3 år sen jag gjorde en skiva och det börjar likna en helt vanlig meningslös blogg det här, jag vet, men skivan är klar på tisdag, och sen kan man ju kanske återgå till vad man nu har en hemsida till. Göra reklam för sin senaste musik antar jag. Det blir kul. Ny skiva och dä.

Dog.

2/05/2012

I got a message the other day from someone called Pahnl. Pahnl made a … dog. And used a very very old song of mine in the video. A really cool video. And a very cool dog.

That is cool!

You find more cool stuff <HERE>

Villafranche.

25/04/2012

I’m in Bordeaux in a hotel room.

So let me tell you a little story.

About 10 years ago I found this vinyl single in my parents collection. I really liked the b-side and me and my friends listened to it many many times during the last years. And I’ve tried to find another copy of it since I don’t wanna loose it or break it. But to find this french single turned out to be hard. Very very hard.

Two days ago we drove from Lille down to south France. We had a day off and didn’t know where to stop. We texted a friend and got the suggestion to go to this little place called Villafranche. I tried to book a hotel, but the one we were looking at didn’t work out. But after some phone calls we ended up at a nice little hotel. Checked in and sleepy.

On the second day Patrik went by this little store and heard some music. Turned out to be a little underground store owned by a guy called Pitch. A french hiphop lover and a record store owner, born 1983, just like me. He also has his own label and a super cool guy. He showed us up to a café next door, upstairs, where he kept all his records. Thousands… We started digging.

After a while I started to find old french singles with covers not to far from the one I’ve been searching for such a long time. Suddenly I found a single by the same artist, but the wrong b-side. I asked pitch if he knew the song I was looking for but he didn’t think he had any singles with the artist from the 60s.. Damn. But then he said, “I have a bunch of records, sorted by label, but without covers since they were all destroyed in a flood some years ago.”

So I started to dig at the “Vogue” section and after a few minutes, THERE IT WAS…. We were all amazed. I’ve been searching online and I’ve been trying to find it for such a long time, and finally, in the middle of nowhere France, after so many circumstances, there it is. I bought the rest of the Vogue singles and I only paid €10 for 20 records.

That same night we went back to Pitch and his store and had some wine and listened to some heavy music!

This is one of the things that can happen if you walk out your own door and just go with it.

Nijmegen.

18/04/2012

In Nijmegen w/ SMK. Met up with some familiar faces from last year when I was in Nijmegen with Ghost. I actually celebrated my last birthday here. Nice city. Tomorrow Breda.

I’m thrilled to come home and hear the mix of the new album. And to work on the even newer stuff..

Until then, my latest album is still here: Niels Nielsen – Cmon Vultures Part: 1

Holland.

16/04/2012

Nu är jag i Gronigen i Holland och tittar på youtubeklipp från Coachella. Ja, det är ju inte därför jag är här såklart, men det är vad jag pysslar med just nu.

Jag är ute på en 2 veckors turné med det svenska bandet Slagsmålsklubben. Jag extraknäcker ju som vissa kanske vet ibland som turnéledare etc. Så just nu åker jag genom Europa och ser till att pojkarna kan leverera lite techno music.
