V as in Voyages | #blog26 #wishlist

I wish we had more opportunities to travel. I want to go to places with my family. Barcelona, I’ve been on business-related trips, with some touristry – and saving a few “must-see’s” to co-experience with my Karin and the kids! Berlin, I’ve not been to. But Karin has! And Scotland! Yes, going around the whole area. Just. Must. Do. Bucket. List. Hardcore! Top three, the magic number to prioritize. What else? Life is long. But days are short. Let’s take care of them – and go to places that aren’t the same as when we were there, respectively. Because, now…

K as in Kraftwerk | #blog26 #wishlist

Yesterday, I had a wish to see Jean-Michel Jarre live, showing up in Stockholm in October 29. Today, I will report a wish that already has been fulfilled. I have had a wish to see Kraftwerk live. They have done numerous of concerts in Sweden the past years, and I’ve missed them all. Until now! In July 31, 2016, they appear as a part of Stockholm Music & Arts Festival at Skeppsholmen, Stockholm. And I got this beautiful gift as a birthday present getting 50 years (the reason behind my wishlist A-Z – #blog26), already at the day Mika turned…

J as in Jean-Michel Jarre | #blog26 #wishlist

As I already have written in the warm-up of this blog challenge (in Swedish), which started June 26 on my 50th birthday, some of you might already know what would show up in “J” in my A to Z Wishlist. Jean-Michel Jarre – The Live Experience! I got introduced to Jean-Michel Jarre early on in my own personal “musical biography”. My uncle was a hardcore music addict as me, and I thank him for discovering alot of music during my upbringing. Jean-Michel Jarre was one of his findings in his search for the new and pioneering. 1976, the Jarre album…

E as in Extra Birthdays | #blog26 #wishlist

Yesterday we had a visit from our dear friend Hanna Ericsson! And I got an Extra Birthday celebration! She had the intention to join us on the very day, Sunday, but couldn’t come. So there we were, celebrating Wednesday as an Extra Birthday! I got a present, Hyperbole and Half by Allie Brosh, an Internet Sensation. From the little I read so far – HILARIOUSLY GREAT! Thank you, Hanna! We have 365 (or 366 as this year) days per year – to just pick some and celebrate just the fact that someone is born, lives and means deeply so much…

D as in Depeche Mode | #blog26 #wishlist

The blog challenge, beginning June 26, 2016, my 50th birthday, con’t. The ABC basics – check. As simple as 123? Maybe :). Aikido, Birthdays, Core. Enter – D! Musical experiences, bucket list, following the Grand Theme “Music For Health”. Depeche Mode! This is irrational, I agree. Not. Seen. Them. Yet! I have followed their music since the Just Can’t Get Enough days. From the very beginning! And I didn’t see them, live, back then. So. Modern times? Their last tour was 2013/14, passing Sweden. And they did headline Arvikafestivalen, 2009. No, no, no. Not! Well, I hope to see them…

Fokus, Distraktioner och Det Viktiga | #blog366 #ProjectThursday

Click to view video. Mika leker med en träkula. Kasta prick. Jag bryter för det viktiga. Mika. Jag stod och processade önskelistan, som jag berättade om igår och i förrgår. En bildserie, från hela lilla händelseflödet. Alla bilder. Oredigerat. Ingen bild bortvald. De är där. Alla åtta. Filterlöst, äkta, naket. En nackdel. Det är tyst. Vad är en bildsekvens utan ljud? Träkulor låter när de kastas prick med. Ljud, musik, ljudlandskap. Och musikupplevelser. Högt på önskelistan, de är. Ni som såg smygtitten på hur långt önskelistan har kommit, vet redan. Bortom Kraftwerk, är Jean-Michel Jarre osedd, live. Oxygéne i mitt…

Popcorn (instrumental) – A #MikaFirsties – At Folkparken, Norrköping – Today | #blogg100 #MikaTheHero

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popcorn_%28instrumental%29?wprov=sfla1 In this environment. Here we are. Standing tall. Dance is already in place. Walking, commencing countdown. Count the words in these images. Here, he is. Fill in the blanks. You read the two pic animation, yes? A PS. Please take some time to find the origins and roots of one of the most important songs to popularize, what can be called “electronic music”. Popcorn was played in the background, yes. And it instantly hit the spirit of Mika. And the event for older kids that took place there as well. So – listen! The original creator hasn’t got the…

Princepiration | #blogg100 #DayPlayList

The first 24 hours of the reaction phase of the message of the world loss of Prince Rogers Nelson has passed. I will put deeper words, onwards, if possible, in what way Prince, what he stood for, and what the vaults filled with his golden creations – now left behind in his legacy – meant for me during my sensitive eighties. Now, leaving you today’s playlist on Spotify (which at large was rolling as a YouTube chromecasted in our living room, simultaneously added). No Prince on Spotify, greater parts are what feels inspired Prince, and some associations coming from the…
