I love amusement parks, I love roller coasters and Stockholm has both and good ones!
I went to this amusement park: Gröna Lund in Stockholm Sweden, yesterday. I didn’t want to rise my hopes up, knowing that Swedes are pretty conservative and kind of shy… in a way (believe me, I have been here for a while!). But I rushed my judgment. Not only the park was full of people, even though it was a rainy day, but I realized that when they want to have fun, they go for it with no restrain! Check “Insane” one of the roller coaster of the park and its main attraction these days! The ride doesn’t last long and I think it’s for the best! See it for yourselves
Needless to say, I had crazy fun, wouldn’t have you?
My Saturday started late… as you already know I am a creature of the night, therefore my days end really late (or early depending on the point of view) and start close to midday (rock & roll life style, yeah!). We woke up fast, dressed quickly and run to meet another of my friends/producer Lars Nyström. It was his Birthday so we invited him to have lunch with us (Nordic King & me). We had a sleepy wonderful brunch in a lovely place of Stockholm.
After that and referring to the title, Nordic king and me went to the beautiful park Skansen full of Swedish animals and typical old farms.
Beautiful weather, nice scenery and great company! What else would you ask?!
After one hour of nature we run back home in a picturesque rail-car (rail-buss). We arrived right on time to baked some home made pizzas (yeah! I made them! I love cooking) and we got ready for the football game: Denmark vs Sweden (Sweden lost so there are no chances for them to go to the world cup Let’s see how Argentina behaves!).
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 night and even though my voice is still affected by the flu, we had an awesome recording session here in Stockholm.
I prepared my voice at home, some vocalization and breathing exercises… and that was enough to get it as perfect as I could! It was a whisky/wasted voice, but sexy as hell! so I decided to take advantage on it and I think it paid off! But you will be the judges.
It was exciting session with my producer and friend Povel Ohlsson (you can see some pictures of me an him here, in an old post). He is great and he certainly knows how to get me in the right mood!
I can’t wait for you to listen to the results, but the production is not completely done… Povel needs to fix it a bit before it’s perfect… But soon I will be posting it
Let’s see how Argentina behaves!).
so I decided to take advantage on it and I think it paid off! But you will be the judges.
