About Me

Journalist, first soprano and and editor-in-chief of Tidningen Sex, a Swedish magazine about music, literature, art, film and popular culture. Check it out at www.tidningensex.com.

When I'm not working on the mag, I'm spending most of my time writing about the history of Swedish death- and blackmetal for a book due out in the Spring of 2008.

Will be debuting as a singer (eh, well) in late November with the all-women glamorous choir The Sweptaways - check our new single and video out on our myspace. Keep up to date with us on the blog as well - sweptaways.blogspot.com
