About Me

Ruskie is no ruskie, but a lowly Swede with Ruskie roots. But don't get excited. I'm alot of other things too. Utterly mad for instance. Which is why I started this page; so that I could bring my insanity upon the world (cue: malicious laugh). This in the shape of songs in the general singer/songwriter-genre aswell as some more unorthodox tunes... Hope you likey. Peace out!

My Interests

Member Since: 10/30/2006
Band Members: Ruskie Oakwood
Influences: Lots of stuff. I'm a lyrics-freak so anything with well thought-out, witty lyrics is great. Like Brad Paisley. I am also a sucker for beautiful melodies, like Nickel Creek. Odd stories in everyday life is the biggest influence. Truth is stranger than fiction, and all you have to do to turn the normal into the absurd is to change the angle...
Sounds Like: A bag of mixed sweets. Some salty, some sweet, some sour, not alot of bitter, and some umami, which is a flavour best described as "protein". There. The department of less than critical knowledge has yet again saved the day...Create or get your

Bats in the belfry, or rather, under the bridge

So I'm back home, working as I always have. "Always" being the operative word in this blog. I've worked in the family business for as long as I've been able to work. Last year I was told I was part of...

Brother, some advice on a heavy issue

About fear
