‘Vanya’ by Mylla 10 Years After
In 2007 one of the main fun energetic albums was Mylla’s Vanya, which was released by Subliminal Sounds. On the 25th of August the same year I went to Stockholm led by a spontaneous decision after seeing the one-day psych festival announcement for Festen i Vinterviken on some artists Myspace.

Stefan Klaverdal – Meditations

October Sunday
Winds halted, gates seemed inviting, arrows flew and she was by my side. Sunday morning to evening was just great. We started off the day with music, as we always do. She takes me to the keyboard and we play –
A Year is a Year in Any Year
Perception and presence in our time lines is equivalent to our vitality. Meaning that a vital person lives the time given and doesn’t treat time as a thief, but as a God given friend.
Every Day is Father’s Day
Bed & breakfast
No one can replace the bond a mother and a child have, especially a baby. The way mothers feed, clean, and just do those motherly stuff only mothers posses the quality of.

Spare me the time of an album sometimes and hand me some music straight up, as an injection for the day, a rhythm to make my blood flow better in the summer heat.
