Life through music. When something is important to you it tends to infuence your life and it becomes a part of who you are. This something for me is music; I simply cannot live without it. Through this blog I share some insights and reflections upon the music in my life.

Shaking on the scene

I just must mention this, to spread the word, or to spread the music...

I have thought about that I need to write about things and music that aren’t related to my favourite band but it seems almost impossible to accomplish. Yes, this post is yet another one with s u e d e in mind.

At one of the sites that I've linked to at the further-page, A Different Place, I found this other link that I want to share. If you're interested in a nice bootleg recording of the Albert Hall gig, you definitely should click on to: Tea with Tufty. Need I say more? Oh, that lovely night on March 24. Now you can listen to it again, and again, and.. I think you get the idea. And you can find some other interesting stuff there too.

To end this post, a hello and welcome to P3 Pop and any of P3 Pop's twitter-followers that might have found this blog through their tweet the other day. Thank you for mentioning my blog, and yes I am a regular when it comes to listening to the show, at least I used to be and now I’m trying to be one.

On the radio

I'm currently listening to a long-time favourite of mine when it comes to radio shows. It’s Swedish Radio’s P3 Pop. I used to listen to it every Monday night between ten and midnight when I was in my teens, and later on too. It was two hours of ‘my kind of music’. Music that wasn’t played that often on day time radio and new music that I probably wouldn’t have come across if it wasn’t for this programme.

The years I started to listen to this show was in the days before the Internet. No, not really, but it was before Internet was accessible to almost every person at home or at work. Because of that, radio was still an important source for hearing music, especially new music. Specific radio shows, music magazines and a few tv-shows, those were my major sources for new and interesting music.

At present I can’t see myself without using the Internet. However, all the accessibility that the net provides also makes me forget about my favourite music show that still runs every Monday night. At times I come to think of it and listen to the most recent shows that are available for re-listening, but then, some weeks on, my mind focuses on something else and I forget about listen to the show, live on the radio or on the Internet. It's a shame really. This evening I’ve spent some of my time listening to the show from this Monday, but tomorrow I’ll probably be doing something totally different and some time will pass before I’ll put some time aside to listen to P3 Pop again. That’s how it goes, I guess.
