We are here! Finally! Man it feels fantastic to be back in Revsund with Gustav, Kerstin & Martin. With the fantastic energy of Dalhalla still fresh in minds and bodies we´re all excited to begin work on our new album. We arrived early today to set everything up, and right now soundcheck is well on it´s way. Martin is thinking hard where to place all the michrophones to capture the room properly, Kerstin has just made us the first meal of this session (delicious as always) and Gustav (who is in charge of recreational activities during this recording) is wondering how to amuse us the most. If everything works we should be able to begin cutting tracks very soon. So far so good !!

It´s just after six o clock, and we have just completed the first track of the album. Overdubs and all! See how this is gonna work ? We´re on a roll ...

After a few attempts at a second song last night, we decided we needed to have dinner, (we always need to have dinner ...), and Jens decided he had to go back to town. So that was that. Yet satisfied with a good days work, we ended up in the sauna with some interesting local brew. Jens just got back and now we´re ready to go again! The second song shouldn´t be too far away from completion. In other worthless news; Björn just sat on his favourite sunglasses. They didn´t make it.

Today we learned many things. We learned that Kerstin makes the best broccoli pie in the world, though we sort of knew that already ... We also learned that nothing makes six grown men run like the sound of the ice cream truck pulling up on the front yard. We bought two mixed bags, then we went back to work. We finished three tracks today, before Jens decided he needed to go back to town. After listening back on all of todays achievements Björn got grumpy and decided that the last song was crap. Nobody agreed, but hopefully weĺl have time to go back to that one. Work starts tomorrow at 10 AM.

So it's right after noon, and we have just cut the first track of the day. One of Bo's more hopeless compositions called "Påpp". It was a bit of a struggle. But not as much as last night when producer Martin and Bo desperatly tried to get Björns iPod to sound though the TV set that refused to show anything of value. It didn't work. Some pictures were taken, but they included underwear, so we choose to show you this picture of Martin instead. You don't wanna piss the producer off when you're not even halfway through the album ! Martin also won the card game last night and we think he is fantastic and we love him very much.
2.33 PM
With much amusement (and pride!!) we just read what Stefan Sundström had to say about the latest low point in the major record companies unavoidable fall; "Idol 2004". We couldn´t agree more. More power to ya´Stefan !!
6.44 PM
It's almost seven and we were able to cut one more track before Jens decided he had to go back to town. The rest of the evening we will entertain ourselves with some minor overdubs. (Almost NO overdubs on this album!) and maybe revisit the sauna. Bo has been preparing himself the whole day to go back to one of the first tracks we cut and redo his guitar solo. Wich the rest of us see abolutely no point in, since he did about 20 different solos the first time, and ALL were good. But since Bo is older than all of us (together..) we really can't say no to him. And oh, Björn is not grumpy anymore! See how happy he is !!?
