About Me

Always remember to pillage BEFORE you burn
Ol' time Rocker from Sweden. Right now I'm living with my family outside of Stockholm, but originally i come from Sm?land. I proclaim myself as a official fan and evangelist of The Quill! And as such i manage some of their stuff over at Last.fm, So be sure to take a look at their pages there!

http://www.last.fm/group/The+Quill
Why not take a moment to listen for a few songs on the house?
So, what else besides a love for music? I recently discovered the wonderful world of woodcraft (no, not world of warcraft, read again):-), and of course the natural thing is to try and combine the both of them. So i have begun a series of woodcarvings with motives from the world of rock. Therefore i call it "Rock carvings in wood". Haven't made so many yet, as i have limited time and space to devote to this (summertime, when its warm outside), but I'm very satisfied with what i have done so far. More of this in my blog.

My Interests

My family is the most important thing in my life, but besides from that, Music off course. Actually, most things in life interest me at some point.:-) But my latest vice is Wood Carving that I'm currently ranting about in my blog.Basically, Art and people in all forms and shapes interests me.

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people of all kind. I like to meet new people."A Disclaimer though" I love Music, but when it comes to adding bands, here at myspace, I will only add bands with music that i like (much or little, as long as there is something about it that i enjoy), from now on, as I'm not just here to get a high Friend's counter. If i add your band, it's because I like it, if i don't like the music you play, try requesting as a person. We might get along and like each other anyway.:-) There might be reviews made of the bands that make requests at my Blog. I will try to keep it nice, but there is no guarantees.:-)

How I made my profile:
I used realeditor.com, you should too!

Music:

Mainly rock, but most flavors go, even though StonerRock and Blues seems to be the flavors that sticks for the moment!
Been traveling through most musical genres throughout the years, everything from Reggae, Punk and Hard rock..

What the heck, most kind of music will pass at some time, with a few exceptions, as Hip Hop and Techno.
And I'm not that found of growling as i think that lyrics are an important part of a song (not saying that growlers don't write good lyrics, it's just that i want to her them).
A few favorites, old and new (today's rating at least)
Led Zeppelin
Motorhead
The Quill
Thin Lizzy
Ebba Gr?n
Blue Oyster Cult
The Doors
Abramis Brama
Grand Magus
and so on....

Movies:

I Love movies. I Love Horror, but anything goes as long as it well written and well done.My all time favorite is
The Exorcist.

Television:

Don't really like television, even though i tend to watch a lot.:-) Right now, i follow
Lost and Sopranos. And i'm eagerly waiting for the follow up of ROME.

Books:

I'm a reader. I read whatever i can get my hands on, almost. I love Fantasy, science-fiction and lately biographys.One book that stayed in my mind. Neil Gaiman - Stardust I just finished books about Thin Lizzy, which reminded why i have always loved them and Philo, and Motley Crues - The Dirt, which makes me wonder how they even got something out on record at all...:-)

Heroes:

People who stand up against stupidity
People with an attitude
People with intelligence
People
