Studio recordings

Wow! Recorded two songs with my brother as producer today. We havent been working together for 20 years, havent been doing music together since 1984. But wow, what a sound he got for me. The songs still lack bassguitar and proper song track, but I even played one of the solos, ALL BY MY SELF! It got the right feeling even if I feel like a total useless sucker. Its a divided feeling. The producer and artist in me know what I want, the failed musician in me try to live up the the standards I pu… Continue

New song, new producer

Starting recording the lap dog with producer Fred "Havoc" Leijström made my own brother Bjorn Eriksson wanna produce the next song. Psychopathic Personallity. I Also have a release date for the single. August 30 at the original punk jubilee at Berns in Stockholm. I think it was over 25 years since me and my brother collaborated in music. back then we wrote the song "Tjocka Erland" (Fat Erland in english). I know that the studio tech of today will save some of my sloppy guitar playing.

Lapdog demo under progress

Lapdog demo under progress. Malaise Gruftyman Fredrock Leijström engineering/produced the first “Playing in rockband fobia” demo “Lapdog”. We did all takes as first cuts. One hour of recording. Actually Not exactly Pink Floyd but I havn´t said I had that ambition. Felt awful recording it, But the raw mix didn´t sounded that bad. Of course, Fredrocks magic fingers make it sound a lot better than I played. The old Punk rock feeling is there. Well I had a bit of spiritual guidance, having a… Continue

I rather be a LOSER than a POSER.

If I havn´t told you, on this blog, on Aftonbladet blog. all my friends my collectors etc, about this play in a rock band thing I didnt had have any belly ace today. I KNOW I MUST start rehearsing. I must start do that! But I dont wanna. OK, why dont I just pretend play and let some of my musical gifted friends do the record and pretend like its my work, like any clever concept artist would do? Or make the computers do it. NO! Because that would make me a POSER! And Posers aint any good. I r… Continue

I resist an impulse...

Keeping myself buzy so I dont have to grab hold of the guitar. I paint, I network, therefor I am. Therefore I dont have to play the guitar. Infact I dont know where I left the text sheets on my three tunes. Annoyingly I still remember the lyrics on one of the songs. I dont wanna play! I resist an impulse to grab the guitar and start hammering the chords for "Lapdog".
