2009-01-18T14:23:00.000-08:00

Lately I have been working way too much. And by working I'm meaning being a bit bored with everyday life and not making music. Or making music but not having the energy to finish anything. I'm really excited for the upcoming gig at Mosebacke on tuesday, it's going to be great to be onstage with Vasastan again. I love you guys.

2008-09-16T13:36:00.000-07:00

i don't wanna go to work tomorrow. why go do something you don't wanna do? sure it's nice to be able to pay the rent, but is it worth it?
i should join the a-kassan and be a bum. at least then i would be able to make some music and not be super-duper-tired all the time.
but right now i should go to bed since i'm apparentyl to cranky to stay up.

2008-08-25T06:59:00.000-07:00

sometimes when i knock my knuckles against my head it feels like it's hitting something hollow. it's a strange feeling since i guess i have something locked up in there. but sometimes it feels like it sounds hollow.

2008-08-24T06:20:00.000-07:00

i wanna thank everyone who showed up at sugar bar last night and watched me and the boys play! it was a good night.

2008-07-29T14:41:00.000-07:00

ok so it's my week of vacation and i'm spending it down at my parent's house in karlshamn. it's always wonderful down here and i get all relaxed and gooey.
but there's also this feeling in my stomach that joins in with the good stuff. can't describe it.
i think i'll call petter today and see if he wants to hang and black out.

2008-07-15T13:48:00.001-07:00

2008-07-06T15:09:00.000-07:00

i wish i had something to write about, other than DISCO DISCO GUT GUT.
but right now i'm just waiting for the record to get released and try to take over something. anyhoo it will be released on october 1st. that's like six months from now. or at least three. i'm trying to calm down and have a nice relaxed summer (and by relaxed i mean working full-time..) but i still find myself rolling my thumbs.
i need a new stomp box. preferably distortion.

1991

2008-03-13T14:24:00.000-07:00

it's done. matilda (from mixtapesandcellmates) came over today and together we finished the last song of the album. i'm gonna give it another week and make some fine adjustments before i send it up to oskar sandlund (the genius) for mixing/mastering.
i have some great news, and hopefully even more, but more on that later.
i'm keeping my fingers crossed.

i've also figured out i should go out drinking with my friends more often.

tack!

2008-03-08T05:25:00.000-08:00

jag vill passa på att tacka alla som kom till petsounds igår och gjorde det hela till en fin kväll!

slow show

2008-01-03T11:32:00.000-08:00

29 januari i will be performing my first solo-show. it will take place in umeå at the wonderful Sagateatern, and i will do my best to take on the role as the opening act for Kings of Convenience.
i will be nervous.
so for any swede reading this:

om du är i umeå den 29 januari, kom till Sagateatern och lyssna på Kings of Convenience, och mig.
man kan köpa biljetter på burmans musik i umeå och om man vill ha mer info om konserten så kontaktar man Kulturföreningen Humlan! http://www.humlan.org/
jag kommer vara nervös.

ouch.

2007-11-30T02:00:00.000-08:00

or maybe slower

2007-11-20T13:04:00.001-08:00

next saturday i'm going to see the national. i am so (fucking) excited.

shivers.

2007-11-05T09:43:00.001-08:00

it seems like the record will be delayed a bit, i have some new songs and some other plans than the ones i started out with. some good new plans. and hopefully in december something really really really cool will happen. more about that later.

and what gets me even more excited is Malte. www.myspace.com/songsforsundayparlours.
he gives me the shivers.

wtf!?

2007-10-04T09:16:00.000-07:00

i just tuned in on stargate sg-1 and it seems like richard dean anderson is no longer part of the show!! aaaaah, crap.

i love you rick.

Aus

2007-10-02T01:30:00.000-07:00

i've talked with japanese electronica-artist Aus for a while about some sort of collaboration and turns out he wants to mix, produce and bring some sounds to one song on the album! he is a genius so i am really excited.
today i will also try to lay down some vocal tracks på en dänga, but chances are i will just flip out and watch Stargate SG-1 instead. that guy who used to be McGyver is so hilarious.

(ps. i did flip out and watch stargate instead, and me and Sara-lovely went to a show with Feist. damn, that girl can sing. so it's all good. ds.)

2007-09-23T09:34:00.001-07:00

i think things are starting to come together.

2007-09-08T09:51:00.000-07:00

today i got totally ripped off by the police! to celebrate that and that i also finally finished one song for the album i'll post some more pictures of nice people i like looking funny.

2007-09-01T10:13:00.000-07:00

damn, things are going slow at the moment! it's all just work work work gotta pay the rent work gotta work. but i do think i have made up my mind about which songs to use on the album so now i just have to find the time to record it.

anyhoo, here's a pic of Dj-Cribz at the laakso show at pop dakar last weekend. He didn't find it amusing that i kept screaming "jari! jari! jari!". i mean. come on.

and omg, anthony hamilton is killing me.
take care.

it's auwn

2007-08-13T12:54:00.000-07:00

ok. so since i don't know shit about html and webpage-making, i figured a blog would be the easiest way to keep interested people updated.
so here it is.
in january earlier this year magnus of nomethod records asked me if i wanted to release a solo-album. After thinking about it for a while i accepted, and since then i've been working with writing new material. i'm currently trying to come up with a moniker, but for now i have nothing. i mean, rob stewart would be cool but also lame. and someone would probably sue me.
for now i can tell you that the album will be called "Young Punks are on the Never-Never", will be kind of diverse and for the moment features guest-performances by japanese electronica-artist Cokiyu and kick-ass-rawk-drummer Oskar Sandlund.
it's hard to find the time to work with the album since i'm working full time with old people and Mixtapes & Cellmates have a few things lined up this fall, so i don't dare to set a release-date. but hopefully it will be out this fall/winter.
now i'll go sleep. i'm super-tired. goodnight. /robert
