You know that thin line between perfectly buzzed and drunk? The line that is rare and rather difficult to balance on? Thanks to cheap whiskey and ginger ale I managed to stand right on it while I was playing at Uppsala Konsert & Kongress as Reversed Obesity in 2009. Thanks to the alcohol I wasn’t [...]
Some time in 2007 I as usual went into a local music store and headed straight for their “demo shelf”. It was more or less a daily routine for me, always hoping to find a new demo by a local group/artist. And that very day I found something special, namely Geld‘s first and only demo; [...]
You’re your own worst critic, or you should be, and back in 2006 when I first started out making horrible (in a bad way) noise, I wasn’t. I uploaded everything I did, and rarely looked back at what I did. In way it was a good thing, but generally I’d say that it was a [...]
During a recent talk with my friend David, also known as IOK-1, he mentioned that he has around 150 plays a week on his SoundCloud. I don’t know how many I have, but it’s far from that much. Then again, I don’t really post much stuff other than experiments and excerpts. Partly it’s because I [...]

The year is about to end so why not do like last year; summarize what has happened. One album, six EP’s, one split, one compilation, one gig and of course a brand new label. A lot less than last year, but still a productive year. It all started in January with the digital release of [...]
I know, I know. I haven’t updated this for over a month. There’s really no good reason, except that I’ve been lazy. But isn’t that a good enough reason? No? Fine. In the middle of September I played at Uppsala Konsert & Kongress; it went very well. Except for an odd sound that I assume [...]
As I’ve previously mentioned, Håkan Lidbo was commissioned to create a vuvuzela track by Swedish Radio. And I thought it would sound like generic electronica, but it actually doesn’t. That said, I personally don’t think the track itself is exciting. It’s rather bland and it could’ve been any track if it weren’t for the new-found [...]
First things first, earlier today I dropped off the YOTD artwork at the printer’s, I’ll be getting it on Friday, so YOTD should be out early next week. I also went by my favorite tattoo studio with some 20 pictures on a USB memory, and he thought they looked like fun. So in the end [...]
Walking to, and from, work without music would be hard for me to do. Even walking home from O‘s place without music is hard, and that takes about ten minutes. As you might understand, I need music to work in society and among my friends. Today I removed all previous albums from my mp3 player [...]

Three albums, five EP’s, one split, one compilation and two gigs. All in all, a pretty idle year if you only count the actual releases, but if you count the work I’ve put down, it wasn’t so idle after all. 018: Experimental took a lot of energy to get done, and not just deciding on [...]
