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.

Coming down

Today I got my book set of Suede at the Royal Albert Hall on March 24, 2010. What a lovely experience it is to watch the dvd from the concert and re-live that night again. A warm feeling spreads through my body and I have a silly smile on my face after watching it. Thank you so much Suede and Teenage Cancer Trust for giving us that wonderful night and this lovely memory.

Here's something very different: 'Coming Down' by Dum Dum Girls.

Turn 2 U

A new single from Visions of Trees is on its way. It's a track  from their forthcoming debut album which will be released on June 11. Read more about the album at Clash.

I have earlier written about their songs 'Sometimes It Kills' and 'Science of Hate' so I'm looking forward to hear how their LP will sound.

Here's their new single 'Turn 2 U':

This year they have released an EP called 'Love Forever', and their earlier albums include many nice songs. Do check them out if you haven't already.

Here is 'Puzzles' from their album 'Islands':

'Best gig ever'

Today, March 24 2012, is a special day.

Two years ago, at the Royal Albert Hall in London, Suede played their reunion gig for the Teenage Cancer Trust and a venue full of elated fans.

Today, two years after the show, the DVD book set of this gig is released, giving us the means to relive that fantastic night over and over again.


I still recall that evening so well; the love, the magic, the wonderful songs and the fantastic performance. As Brett Anderson has said, the 'best gig ever'.

When I got home from London I tried to write about it in 'It's over for know' and 'A few days on', but it was all so emotional for me so it's no surprise that I didn't manage to get across what I wanted to say. At that time I didn't know that I would see them play live five more times in a little more than a year's time from then. At that time I only knew how glad I was that I had had the possibility to see them live again after some 7.5 years and how magical it had been, and how sad I was since it was all over.

I pre-ordered my copy of the book set some time ago and I now await its arrival, it will be a special day when I can hold it in my hands, watch it and listen to it. I am so looking forward to it, I have wanted this since the day after the gig and now the time has come.

I don't have any money

Yesterday The Drums played Berns, Stockholm, and Gimmie Indie broadcasted it live for us to enjoy. The streaming of both sound and picture was fantastic and if you didn't listen to it yesterday, you can listen to it now. You'll find the concert in the archive of Gimmie Indie's fantastic live streams, and the full video stream at Bambuser.

This morning The Drums played at Swedish television TV4. This is 'Days':

The second track on this single, the b-side, is Masquer doing a cover of another song by Per Egland, "Franco för mig". You can listen to it here on the PSL site.
