I just wanna play music.</h3>
<br />
I had a bunch of (unfinished) songs that I wanted to play. But they sounded quite different from each other so I thought:<br />
<br />
I don't wan't to be forced to think about what I'm doing anymore. "Will this be something the others wanna play?" "Will it fit our style?" "What will people think?" "Who am I if I play that kind of music?"<br />
<br />
When I asked for musicians for the band that would become Corpse Pine (more about the name here: <a href="http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC31YJ1_liktallen" target="_blank">The Pine!</a>) I said no thanks to their taste in music.<br />
Yeah you thinks it's good or bad, nice, just play it as good as you can and you'll make me happy.<br />
<br />

<br />
I want to do something interesting and fun and just to let it be... what it is. Not trying to "spice things up" or make it "more interesting" than... we are. The most musicians I know is just like...common everyday people and I think that's great. So we should sound like that most of the time too...<br />
<br />
We're looking for more band members BTW. Accordion, fiddle or something else that is not a guitar? But if you wanna sing harmonies and the guitar is the only instrument you play? Okay then!<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>So why acoustic?</b></h3>
<br />
Because I haven't done it before and I'm very tired of carrying a lot of stuff that only breaks all the time anyway... So of curiousity and laziness... More curiousity I think to be honest...<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Hajregn</b></h3>
<br />
I'm banging on the drums and we forcing crazy ideas in to songs. Fun! As fun as:<br />

I said: OK.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So SINNAHGOOGIE BOOGIE is almost some kind of a theme... album... Of course it's not about ME but it's a lot of me in it. That's new for me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I wrote about how people with the best of intentions made me feel like... shit... Not good at anything that counted and sometimes evil sometimes weak but most of the times just plain stupid.<br />

The life of crime was something I could understand the rules of because criminals are very clear with what they want of you, no game of guessing for me like it was with "ordinary people", but I wasn't interested in that either. Growing up with a father that had his own paintshop I knew that the freedom of owning your business (which is the way I look at the criminal life or like being a freelancer?) is just a lot of: working too much (and often), never really having some free time and (all the time:) being on your toes because of the competition. Too much work and not enough fun... money was never interesting for me before I started to have loans... In other words before I became a grown up. Don't do that kids! It's a trap!</div>

I was an angry lonely kid and I understand why now. Why I was angry and why no one ever could stand me for long... Because of my lack in communication skills I couldn't understand why I couldn't understand or why I couldn't get understood.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was lucky, my parent was understanding in that sense that the knew I wasn't doing anything to fuck with people. They couldn't understand why but they understood that fighting my ways/my confusion/my anger was in the most cases pointless. It was just going to make it worse. School wasn't as understanding... is it ever? Or whoever you have to deal with to get along with your life. My work employment officer said I hadn't suffered enough in my life! He didn't look to happy either so maybe suffering was what he thought sucess was?</div>

<div>
But I had the music. The music kept me from going insane, getting into drugs! and having a "normal social life" and during those years it probably was the best for me... Getting some proffessional help would have been even better but that wasn't an alternative I assume...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm not much of a Doors fan but the line "music is you only friend, until the end" is a "truth" for me if anything is. And I'm gonna end this boring rant with the cliché that if one of my songs helps one person to feel a little bit better of themselves I'm totally satisfied. It sure does for me...</div>

Knowing that the most things Joe had told me had been good for me I did. The american was a nice fun guy that didn't like e-mails much... Anyway in 2004 he would come to Östersund with his band and I went there and met him and the bassplayer JO and the new drummer Dan. We kept in touch. Did some gigs together (HASTINGS!) but that was when he had started doing gigs on his own without any band.<br />
<br />
JO and Dan started playing with various people and played the Urkult festival (2006) here so JO and I met and had a long talk like stupid people do when they meet. <br />
<br />
We kept in touch. BTW I did loose touch with that american, lost his number and never got to get it again. But I know for sure he's doing well without me... How that now can be possible?<br />
<br />
In late 08 JO and Dan was playing in Strömsund and I drove there. We talked music and stupidity as people do when they don't know better.<br />
<br />
JO sent me a pigs foot and we were talking about maybe doing "something" together. JO realized that Dan, now playing with that american again wouldn't have the time to do this "thing", whatever it would become, so maybe we should check with Kai the drummer Dan replaced if he was interested? So JO did.<br />

<br />
Four, spread over two years, "weekends" in Oslo later we had a full-length... whatever, you call it nowadays, ready. We had been working fast and hard and stupid. Maybe to fast sometimes? Maybe to hard, at least once it was hard work, and, maybe, not stupid enough? We decided to call us Düsseldorf 57 just because...<br />
<br />
Same year, we're talking 2011 now people, we did a gig in Aalborg Denmark. In April 2012 Kai got the mixes done and he's doing the mastering of the songs late(?) this fall/early winter(?).<br />
<br />
The full-length "whatever" will be called Sinnahgoogie Boogie and contains songs that sounds like songs that we are playing. Some of them sounds a little more like the rest of the others but some of them just won't conform. And that's okay. We just say:- It's okay little song, just be what you wanna be! We'll always love you even if you never will make any money for us... Something like that...<br />
<br />
This is the true story. I won't be telling it again.<br />

Kind of a dress rehearsal for the "tour" in Denmark we're doing (with Cleanboys DK and Dream Police) the last weekend in March.<br />
<br />
So what's happened? Got myself a booking agent! Some people don't know good business... luckily for me! If you want to book Porklash solo (not the bands) you send a rude mail to Andreas at D-Booking[@]live.se and you will get an even more rude one back! <br />
<br />
At soon 46 I decided to see if singing lessons could help and it did. I won't sing anymore... <br />
I don't know if it will sound better from now on but I know that my throat don't get as tired as before so it does something good. For me at least. <br />
<br />
Düsseldorf 57's mixing sessions is coming to an end so soon, for all who is waiting... Me, Kai and Jo I guess..., you will be able to hear the music in one way or the other. <br />
<br />
I really should be blogging in Angermannia because this is boring! Hey! Help me out! What do you want to know? I promise to answer anything that I can without hurting people... I mean without hurting people that I care about!<br />

So what has happened? Since last I've done three gigs, got myself an ADHD diagnosis and watched my father disappear of lung cancer... Don't smoke kids!<br />
<br />
All three gigs was a lot of fun in different ways. One of them was the debut gig for Düsseldorf 57. That one was exciting because we didn't have the time to rehearse properly... But those guys...those guys..<br />
<br />

<br />
The last gig (a solo one) was in a house outside Östersund owned by SHRA. A small room. A tiny PA and me. The people were so close I could smell the alcohol on their breath and also their lack of hygiene. I love that! I don't want to be on a stage. I don't want the sound to be "larger than life" I want you close! Come here! I want to be able to hear what you're saying without you gotta shout it to me! I want <b>you</b> to hear my in between teeth comments! I want you to interact! If you dare! heh-heh... That's what I call a fun gig! I'll try to help you through music and you'll help me just through accepting me! And then if you also like my music it's fantastic!Porklashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02249272884723866048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1996989190652308861.post-67952767080180881312011-06-30T13:06:00.000+02:002011-06-30T14:41:39.275+02:00RehearsalI'm from the north of Sweden. Lots of space,not that much people. Very easy to get rehearsal spaces... So when I'm going to a rehearsal with Düsseldorf 57 I'll have to drive around 600 km south. It's stupid. But it's funny how I can think it's worth it. It's a curse and a blessing at the same time... Like having children but a bit cheaper..<br />
<br />
In August we got a gig in Aalborg <a href="http://www.denblaafestival.dk/">Denmark</a>. At this moment the promoters say we play "real" blues. They're in for a suprise! But let's hope that we can play a couple of songs together by then? I mean JO and Kai can play the songs alright and I can play the songs but can I play together with them? Well, If I can't I just wiggle my butt a little more and then the girls won't notice how lousy I am... I don't care bout the guys anyway so... Heh-heh just kidding...now buy the record!<br />

Anyway on Monday it's Swedens so called National Day which is a strange thing? When I was a kid it was called The Swedish Flag Day!?<br />

So I'm celebrating the fact that Sweden is a nation? With playing some music that got it's roots in Africa, Ireland, USA, Ångermanland, Vallaskolan among a lot of other places because is it something that is Swedish to me it's an openness for influences from other cultures.<br />

Bye for now and Have it!<br />
