I wasn’t born when ”Radioactivity" by Kraftwerk was released, but it’s still one of my all time favorite albums. I've been playing a cover of the title track live for at least 10 years now and decided to finally record it in my home studio/garage. It ended up turning into a Super 8-movie directed by David Lynch, starring the ghost of Mark Linkous hovering over the woods of Småland, or something like that. The second verse is in German so I asked my friend Clara Luzia if she wanted to sing that part and luckily she said yes. I think it turned out really good. Hope you like it to.

T O U R ! ! ! I will bring my good friend Per with me. He’ll play synthesizers, omnichord, saxophones etc. I will sing and play my Jazzmaster and Danelectro guitars as well as my SP404-sampler, Boss Loopstation and some other fun pedals. If we can fit some drums in the car, I will also play drums. This will be fun. You should join us! [Photo by @camillapetra] https://www.instagram.com/p/CblKRYSM84w/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today is my birthday and also release day! I wrote the song ”Nyll” for my dad who has Alzheimer’s disease. I guess it’s my way of saying thanks and I love you. Dad’s nickname is ”Nyll”. He was a big fan of western movies so that’s why I decided to have the beat of the song be horses running instead of drums. Dad got into boxing at a young age and later became a soccer coach. The names I sing in the chorus are teams he was training back in the days (Solberga, Anneberg and Nässjö). Bäckafall is the place where mom and dad has their summer cabin (also one of my favorite places in the world). If you listen closely at 1:44 in the song you can hear my dad singing and impersonating Cornelis Vreeswijk one Midsummer Eve in Bäckafall. Swipe for pics. Link in bio. Lyrics: Dad was put inside a shoebox On the day that he was born His mom cried He drove a golden Vauxhall Viva To the football fields in Småland Solberga, Anneberg, Nässjö stad, Bäckafall I will always have strength enough to hold you He woke me up to sing When he was drunk and lonely Nu faller daggen En röst lätt att känna igen Too much whiskey and shouting… På domare och linjemän He was not offside! Use your eyes! I will always have strength enough to hold you Solberga, Anneberg, Nässjö stad, Bäckafall My arms are always strong enough to hold you Dad you know that I will always love you #boyomega #nyll #nässjö #solberga #anneberg #bäckafall (på/i Bäckafallasjön) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca4m6GwMJCS/?utm_medium=tumblr

2012-2014 I was in a band called Tu Howl. We played three shows, released the limited golden cassette EP “Kat Chante” on Vivaldi Finans, recorded an album that was never released and then we disappeared into the fog. And yes, TikTok most definitely stole our logo. Not kidding. For fans of The Flaming Lips, Television, ABBA, Roxette, Thin Lizzy and Bathory.

22 years ago (1999), me and my good friend Martin "The Mountain" Bergström shared a one room apartment in Bagarmossen, Stockholm. Our neighbour next door was a total cat lady. She must’ve had at least 26 or 27 cats living with her and once when her door was open we realized half of her apartment was covered in old newspapers and cat piss. Our upstairs neighbor played and ”sang” Sailing by Rod Stewart super loud every Wednesday night when she was drunk. We played “The Curtain Hits The Cast” by Low. Today I did a live cover of ”The Plan” from said album. Hope you like it.

Very sorry about this but the German BΩ tour in October has been cancelled and postponed until spring next year. This is due to an increase of Covid-19 cases in Germany recently and also because my new album has been delayed and would not have been released in time for the tour. If you’ve bought a ticket, please contact the venue and they will help you out. Sorry again, but I promise to be back in spring 2022, stronger, faster, and maybe on a scooter. https://www.instagram.com/p/CTSCQaIDi1p/?utm_medium=tumblr

Here’s my entry for the @cremacaffeshop SP-404 Donkey Kong Beat Challenge. This was all done today. Fast, fun and improvised. All instruments recorded, twisted, stretched and sampled via my SP-404 SX. All digital sounds except the drums were taken from the NES game ”Donkey Kong” (1981). Footage taken from ”King Kong vs Godzilla” (1962) and a swedish Bingo show. Enjoy! https://www.instagram.com/p/CTP6r9djPSs/?utm_medium=tumblr

New pedal day! Gonna give this to my Fender Greta since she doesn’t have reverb inside her. Mr. Waverley approves. https://www.instagram.com/p/CSyOGUFDtgk/?utm_medium=tumblr
