"Fana Bana Bobana"

Spent this Wednesday with my beloved Julia in town. Tried not to buy anything since we're saving for Paris but checking out some stores is always fun. Saw this Frida Kahlo printed T shirt from ACNE and it just made us think of Fanny, our Mexican sister that we lived with in New York.

She made our livingroom come to life with her beautiful art and I will never forget when she came home with seven small Frida Kahlo paintings that we hang up together between the windows. As well I will never forget one day I came home to the apartment and heard Animal Collective playing on the highest volume. I opened the door. There she sat on the floor, painting and was so into the music you could see it in her hands. I miss her. I miss her a lot.

Eargasm

This may be one of the best album this year!

C'est Magnifique!


This time it's the french musicians DJ Mehdi and Riton who chose to make some music together under the name Carte Blanche. Do! Do! Do! is the name of the song featuring fabolous Kid Sister who transforms to a singing fafinette and explores the life through Youtube. And a big YES for Fafi who shows her amazing work in her husband Mehdi's new song!!! Ever since the collaboration with Mark Ronson and Lily Allen for the video Oh My God I loved the fact of seeing her Fafinettes come to live from walls to the screen. She's absolutely one of my favorite artists and seeing Kid Sister in Paris made me long even more to the beautiful city. But no worries, I'm leaving to Paris in less than 3 weeks!!! Can't wait to enjoy all the street art and hunting Fafi-walls!

Nikon School

I had a photography workshop today at Nikon School. Before we started to work by our selves we sat and listened to a man speaking for two hours. I realized, despite my ambition for learning I'm not made to sit down on a chair staring forward. No.

The Balloon




A night out in NYC a balloon popped up right in my face and the next second a man started drawing on it. He gave it to me and walked to another person with a piece of paper, did the same thing and then I lost him. Well that's the story of the mysterious artist and the balloon that lasted for two weeks before it shrunk and disappeared.

JEREMY SCOTT S/S 2011


You just can't do anything else than loving
Jeremy Scott and his creativity. The only thing that disturbed me in this collection was the meat-dress (even if it's made out of latex which I feared to be real). Ever since I saw Lady Gaga wearing meat on her body I was disgusted. What's up with the meat trend? Seriously?

Twisted Feet Dance Academy SHOW

One of the best feeling as a dance teacher is when you get inspired by your students. Thank you for a really good day at Pusterviksteatern.

COLD AS ICE


Kelis in TRACE Magazine

"I'M YOUR PROSTITUTE, YOU GON' GET SOME"



New single, Get Some by Lykke Li. I'm looking forward to her new album releasing 1 of March next year. I got to taste some of the new tracks on stage during Way Out West, where I by the way felt so sorry for Lykke Li when her voice stood up on her. Despite leaving a little bit to early in frustration she rocked the stage with her smashing outfit and sexy moves. Thumbs up for Get Some!

NÖJESGUIDEN


Cover of Nöjesguiden featuring Ana Rab a.k.a Gnucci Banana and Spoek Mathambo.

I grabbed the new issue of Nöjesguiden today, haven't read that paper in forever. Interesting issue this time and I got a lot more happy for the article with Swedish Gnucci Banana, pleasent surprise. Nice reading a little about her story and then listen trough some really good tracks. Can't believe I missed Hush (Iggy, Iggy) when it came out, shame on me. I'm enjoying tonights new tunes for sure!

ON THE WAY OUT.




Mari & Frida, Mari & I, Fanny. apt 604 45th Street, NYC

I made an photoalbum on Facebook named "USA faces and some random pics", pics that I found on my harddrive in a forgotten folder. Heare are some of them, the others will pop up from time to time.


Had a great time at Riddim Rockers tonight!

Filles De Kilimanjaro


Preparing for a night out.

Some choreo



I just wanna hear something and get stuck to it so I can create something, long time since I felt like that for a song.

Flesh Tone


Acapella was good. Besides that one I wasn't exactly hyped about Kelis' new album that was released this summer. When I listened through it the other day though I fell in love. Maybe I was just over how almost every female artist had gone to the Gaga-electro-sound but Kelis def has her own touch to it. 4th of July (Fireworks) is my absolute favorite (starts at 3:22 in this video above). Mmmmm...

Vicky Christina Barcelona


Pénelope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson in Vicky Christina Barcelona

Spent last night at Julia's eating lussekatter and julmust (Swedish Christmas goodies) and watching some of the most beautiful actors in a really good movie, though I must admit that I didn't like the ending. Watching Scarlett Johansson's character Christina go around snapping pictures in the sun made me realize how much I miss having my camera around all the time. And, I would kill for my own dark-room right now. A little secret place to hide during the winter, I will keep on dreaming of it.

Armand Van Helden + A-Trak = Duck Sauce


Can't believe two of the best dj's made such an annoying song, but damn I can't help LOVING it anyway!!! And not to mention the video YES!

Silly..

After a year in New York, adjusting to the american accent you can't do anything else than love it. Since I came back home to Gothenburg I enjoy every second I get to speak english with a foreign person. Wendy and I just talked about this the other day and guess what I listened to instead of my Ipod on the tram today? This huge man (for sure from Brooklyn) just made my day! He even said "aks" instead of "ask"! Sounds silly but it hasn't gone a day and I haven't thought about the city since I came home. I miss it. I miss the poeple. I miss the dance classes. I miss performing. I miss having conversations with complete strangers on the train. I miss getting to know a new person everyday. I miss looking up to the sky and smile every time I realized I was actually there.

Guess ima just have to deal with it and do my best while I'm home, but I hope it wont be long..

Typographic Ballet

I've been craving for a trip to Berlin for a long time now to check out the art scene and experience it in my older years, you know it's not the same thing when you went there 12 years ago with you family. However, I checked out some new exhibitions in the city and found this project named MADE Typographic Ballet by Brooklyn based Ebon Heath featuring some other great people like Talib Kweli. It's inspiring, different and just amazing!
