Its a double post, two completely separate but equally awesome topics in one post. Yay!

First off is this mail, that came to the band-page of our not-quite dead synthpop band Enter. Since it is in swedish only i will give you a short summary of what is going on: Katedralskolan is the high-school i was attending when our band Enters activity was at its peak, and Théföreningen was a good place for laid back dudes like me to hang out and chill. It seems like one of our old demos never left the premises, someone found the tape, played it, and liked it!

This just arrived to our band-page inbox, about 15 years after i left Katedralskolan… I haven´t asked for permission to post this, so thats why the name is blanked out.

En dag för inte så länge.. (jo, det var ganska längesen nu, men det hör inte hit) så hittade ett par kompisar till mig ett mystiskt svart band i Katedralskolans Théföreningslokal, med endast en lapp på vardera sida, märkt “A” respektive “B”.
“Det mystiska svarta bandet” (som det länge fick heta), blev snabbt en hitkassett som alla skulle ha hört, och hela théföreningen sjöng “Gillette”-låten i korridorerna.
Av en slump kom det sig så att Björn Lindström, en gammal räv i föreningen från ’90-talet, hälsade på oss vid ett möte. Han identifierade kassetten som en demo från ett synthpopband vid namn “Enter”. För att göra en väldigt lång och spännande (nja) historia kort, så gjorde jag lite detektivarbete på google, och fann er hemsida.

Vi i théföreningen är väldigt intresserade av att köpa ett ex av båda era demos, samt fullängdaren, om detta skulle vara möjligt!

And if that wasn´t enough awesome for one post here is another thing, sure to make your christmas merry.

Two weeks ago we went to the Ultrasound to get the first check-up of our little baby. Everything looks normal.

When this was taken the head was about 4 cm in diameter.  We got to see the little legs move and the mouth slurping water. Totally stunning, and still very hard to believe that this is someone that we are going to meet.

I have a lot of friends and relatives that are into music, they compose, they arrange, they perform in various high-brow societies and even in symphonic orchestras. At the other end of the spectrum are my electronica-inspired friends. They all claim to be good at music and the time has finally come for clarity. It is time for you to test your musical skills in 6 minutes

I will update this post as soon as I get the time to do the test myself with my full score. And no I wont cheat. I expect the same from you.

Put your results in a comment to this post, let the battle begin!

Fantasy Interactive, the company i work for, had a very good week last week. From the hands of the current Minister of Commerce, Maud Olofsson. FI received a very prestigious price, the Super Gasell. The Gasells are prices that are highly recognized in the swedish world of business, and they are awarded to companies that have shown a very high rate of growth during the past year. The SuperGasell, is for the one company that during the last four years have grown the most. This company is us. Since 2002 FI, the company that started in a back-room of a Internet Café, has grown with 2600%. Has two offices and nearly 50 employees.

It is a very nice gang to be a part of.

There is also this video:

Someone at Wal-Marts made a mistake while picking a design for a t-shirt that i suppose is made to look “radical” and “out there”
Or is there something else going on altogether? Pretty strange actually…
