R.E.M. forever!

Went to the R.E.M. concert last night. These guys rock. Great stage with live footage, very hypnotic lightshow and an always fascinating Michael Stipe.

Their website is pretty cool. Find the words of some of their most famous songs, access their own TV channel including interviews, videos and live performances.

By the way, what is your all time favourite R.E.M song?

What's cooking for Christmas? With only 3 days to go, I have not yet decided what to make for Christmas dinner!!! A recent change of plans means that I won't be cooking in my kitchen. I'm afraid I will have to make do with the smallest oven on earth...

Luckily, the first course(s) will follow the Swedish tradition and I'm told that usually quite filling. I might get away with only a small bird... Still looking for a recipe tho'.

The best of the season to you all! May the new year bring the loveliest of times!

Fame at last!!!! Well, just for one hour... I will be programming on Couleur 3 for the Tanger-Glasgow show on 24 December from 17.00 to 18.00. I am so psyched! I hope you will tune in (either on the FM or on the web).

All the best for this end of year.
