Good people come through

It's been a relatively slow summer for myself here in Uppsala. Don't get me wrong, a slow summer is a good thing. This is one of the warmest Swedish summers in recent memory from what I'm gathering. And by warm I mean somewhere in the 70s on an average. No complaints here.

It's been productive. Safe to say I'm sitting on a batch of songs that could easily be deemed an album. They could be split up into a couple EPs as well. I'm not too sure what to do with this group of songs at the moment. I'm not rushing anything as far as official releases go but I've been itching to put up a song from the new batch either here or on myspace to as least stream and let everyone hear. I don't really like putting unmastered stuff up for download just because, in theory, until mastered the song isn't actually finished. Anyways, I'm thinking that before my return to Chicago I will reveal something as a little preview.


What else? Stockholm continues to blow my mind. It's just the most beautiful city, especially during the summer. Monday night m'sweet and I joined some friends for a little grill party overlooking the water from some pretty, but not so easy to walk across while carrying a cooler and bag of food, cliffs. Hey American friends, have you tried grilling halloumi cheese? I'd never heard of it before I came here. Its texture holds up nicely on the grill and tastes amazing. Bring some to your next bbq; impress your friends.

And lastly but by no means leastly, my new pals, by way of London and now living in Uppsala, Raffa and Erika are back in town and I couldn't be happier. Last night we conglomerated into what was most likely the first time three fixed-gear bikes have ridden through Uppsala. I doubt we're setting any trends, but definitely turned some heads. Great night. And have a great day.
