How interesting to hear and read all the new year’s wishes. Even though the messages differ, most of people seem to be hoping for a better year. I say, let’s stop hoping and let’s make it happen instead! We are responsible of most of our future, so let’s start molding it with positive thoughts and actions! Welcome 2012 with a lot of music!

PC or Mac, that’s the question, would have said a modern William Shakespeare, right? But seriously, to make a difference in a slideshow for one of my songs, which would have been the best?? My rookie question bothered me while I was staring at the white threatening device… I was resisting the idea, but my old Compaq is too rusty to make a good results. So, what the hell! I opened the tempting white apple and I let myself go!
Hours after that and having lost the sense of time, I keep working on it, and I am sure it will be awesome. SO this quick note ends here, my creativity is still hungry, I need to keep working .
I will post some unfinished version here first so you can tell me if I am on the right path (and please be gentle, I am not an expert in this area!).
I read in a magazine that they were touring and they were coming here to Stockholm and I couldn’t help to remember when I was part of LSDA and we shared stage with them. It was not only a magical night, but an honour for us to be part of that big festival and play before them. It’s not necessary clarify that our performance was great and the audience loved Fernando Montemurro’s work (Creator of LSDA and also a good friend and one of the producer of “Little Devil“)Â

Going back to Massive Attack, they have been always great influence, so as you can imagine, I couldn’t hold myself and I bought tickets for the event (no way I was gonna miss it). Nordic king was dragged with me (he has no choice as I have been attending , hehe!).
The show was superb. They played a lot of “oldies” which I personally love and the gig was entertaining, lively and with an impeccable aesthetic. The lighting and the images were elaborated and fit perfectly with the songs and what they wanted to communicate. “Tear drop” version, was flawless!
I would have liked to have a better camera with me, but I only had my phone… so the pictures are not the best, but will give you an idea of how it was.
I also added some pictures of 2006, when we performed in the same festival than them.

Attending Massive Attack show, this time on the other side of the stage!
Friday night, not much plans until I received a msg from my friend/producer Povel Ohlsson inviting me to a gig where he was playing.
The artist he was playing with is Johan Kinde, a Swede singer/songwriter that had his shinny moment in the late 70s’ when he was part and head of a pop band named Lustans Lakejer.
The show was interesting and the audience even better! (but I keep that for myself ). He is presenting his new work, though I can say that he played some “oldies” due to his fan’s reactions.
Everyone had a great time! And Povel, impeccable in the drums as usual.
Here some pictures of that night!
And if you want to hear some of his music, you can go to his myspace here: Johan Kinde
Last days of a light Swedish summer… We went to this amusement park (I love to jump into the most exciting and threatening rides, I must admit). We took a break meanwhile I was being interviewed by a psychic…
He proposed a “game” to me to test my magic abilities. I was supposed to guess what figure was on some cards. The were put in front of me, spread on the table, with their back up. There was a sticker in each card and I was supposed to draw the figure on each of them. When he turn them, if my drawing and the card shape matched was a point for me. 1 to 2 was considered normal, 3 special 4-5 was a real pro.
Guess what??? I was a PRO!!!

After that, we kept testing our courage in the scary rides…
I have also a song dedicated to a girl that wanted to become one! (“Gonna be the one” if you want to listen to it ).
Anyway, continuing with the youtube “findings” (thanx youtube for your existence! otherwise we would be missing so many cool things, don’t you think?) and related to the blood suckers, look what I stumbled upon this time:
The bachelorette party was fun! my friend got drunk pretty fast, hehe! But not before driving the gokart, of course!
I didn’t win… though my friends were like old ladies driving (very cautious and respecting speed limits ) one of them trapped me and I got delayed… result? 2nd! Embarrassing!
After the defeat we went out partying and saying goodbye to my friend’s old single days!
I can’t help to be touched (and curious at the same time) about the tragedy of the Air France flight… I don’t like flying at all and this accident doesn’t help me to overcome my fear!
The funny part is that last 3 years I have been flying a lot and each time I liked it less and less… I know that is one of the safest ways to travel… but something in my body rejects it automatically… sweaty hands, shivers, headache and my heart that seems about to explode!
If you have any recipe to help me, please TELL ME!!!! hehehe… anyway, that will not stop me from flying all around the world with my tours, NO SIR!
