Steve Perry is writing music again

This is to all of you Steve Perry fans out there who are longing to hear more of his voice. Ever since leaving Journey in 1994 he has only released one solo-album that did fairly well. Now The Pulse of Radio and Classic rock magazine are both claiming that Perry has talked to them about going into the studio again, at age 62. In one year he has been writing around 50 songs and is now longing to record them.
"I never thought I'd do it again, but I decided to open up that room and see what I could find. Some of it sounds familiar, some of it sounds contemporary, some of it you can't put a label on — and I've never been big on labels anyway."

But for now this is just Perry's small project that he in the future hopes to be able to share with us all. And if not, at least he's got something to do to keep creative!
I personally adore Journey and Steve Perry's voice. Although I think that the band's new singer Arnel Pineda delivers more to the audience on stage than what Perry did. I like his energy! But a legend is a legend...

Crashdïet Unplugged videos

I have uploaded two videos from Crashdïet's unplugged gig at Scandic. What a wonderful evening it was, even though it was cut short for me.

"It's a miracle"

"Ta för i helvete inte fram era tändare...." haha!

Christian Hedgren has got talent

There is a new Swedish talent show on TV that is called "The Voice Sverige". Of course I had to watch the first episode just to discover that it is plain ridiculous. But there was one very promising guy who I wish all the best with his music career. I just hope this TV show doesn't ruin it for him. Christian Hedgren's voice is amazing... just listen to 01:52.... I mean, come on!!!

A box of clouds

"May it be" in all honor, but my favourite Enya song is always going to be "Anywhere is".

The lyrics are magical and so is the video ...

The moon upon the ocean
Is swept around in motion
But without ever knowing
The reason for its flowing
In motion on the ocean
The moon still keeps on moving
The waves still keep on waving
And I still keep on going

You go there you're gone forever
I go there I'll lose my way
If we stay here we're not together
Anywhere is

Community of rock - Hårdrockens historia

Remember what I told you about rock n roll being more of a community that just music? Well someone has made a documentary about that. It's actaully a whole serie divided into 11 parts. The makers are from Canada so the documentary is in English. It takes off in Memphis, Tennessee and then step by step moves towards Alice Cooper, Slash, Lemmy, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Van Halen, Mötley Crüe, Korn, Rage Against the Machine and many more. The documentary will air on Swedish TV every Tuesday (starting tomorrow) and the rest of the world should be able to see it afterwards on www.svtplay.se. I hope they don't block other countries from watching it.
You will not just see the reporter explore the music, but also the culture. To realise and understand why we call ourselves a community. The community of outcasts.
