The Rasmus releases Dark Matters
I can’t really say that I’ve listened very much to the Rasmus in the past. But as they release their new album Dark Matter on October 6th, 2017 I might have a reason to explore their music further.

The Darkness releases new album
I have The Darkness first couple of albums. I think the two or three first. The music is kinda a mix between Queen in their early days and all kinds of glam rock bands really. Pinewood Smiled is released on October 6th, 2017
In Memoriam – Hasse Alfredson 1931-2017
There’s few people in Swedish entertainment history that are better known than Hasse Alfredsson. I think he’s been loved by the people since the early 60’s when he collaborated with Tage Danielsson. This duo’s ideas and work has since then been somewhat of the basis of all Swedish comedy. They were the arch comedians of sorts. Of course there were people before them doing humor in Sweden but they were so productive and, I dare...
In Memoriam – Janne “Loffe” Carlsson 1937-2017
Once again it’s time to take farewell of a person that’s been there all my life. An actor and musician that I loved for the personality he oozed. There is no doubt in my mind that Janne Loffe Carlsson was a really nice man. I know that he lived not far away from where I was raised. But I never ran into him, it would have been quite possible of course. Janne Loffe Carlsson was...
In Memoriam: Tobe Hooper 1943-2017
Another childhood hero bites the dust. Aren’t we all getting old when one by one of you childhood heroes dies? It sure seems that way. I’ve seen a few film by Tobe Hooper over the years but now I realize that there weren’t that many of them. If you look at the filmography there is a handful few that really stick out, the rest are TV episodes and stuff like that. Some movie are awesome...
In Memoriam – Martin Landau – 1928-2017
My first Encounter with Martin Landau was probably the Sci-Fi show Space: 1999. Here in Sweden the show was aired as “Månbas Alpha” which translated means “Moon Base Alpha”. I don’t know which is the better title for the show but it really doesn’t matter. When the show was released in Sweden a few years ago I had very vague memories of it. I got the series though and I started to remember fragments of...
In Memoriam – George A. Romero 1940-2017
Why is it that George A. Romero never was considered to be one of the great directors of our time? Sure, among fans of horror he was considered a God but I don’t think that general movie goers knew anything about him. Yet he almost single-handed created a whole sub-genre! The Zombie films wouldn’t have been what they are if it weren’t for his vision. What George A. Romero did was to take a creature...
Michael Nyqvist – 1960-2017 – In Memoriam
Last night I got the news about Michael Nyqvists passing away. I was shocked! I didn’t have a clue that he was sick or anything. When I read the papers today I learned that he kept his struggle with lung cancer a secret. Only a few of his closest friends and family knew that he had fought the decease for about a year. To be honest I wasn’t a big fan. Not to say that...
Trailer: Garden Party Massacre
I got this trailer in the mail a couple of weeks ago. Since I have a huge backlog I haven’t really got around to watch it until now. It seems to be great fun though. The actors, based on the trailer might not be top notch but it’s always hard to get a context out of compilation clips like this. If I can get my hands on it I will review it for you! Wish...
Trailer: IT – 2017 – Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise

Sad Clowns & Hillbillies, New from John Mellencamp
I think I missed the last album from John Mellancamp. In fact, I know I missed it. Sad Clowns and Hillbillies are released on April 28th. I’ll be sure to get this album. Note to self: Get every single missing album by this gentleman. I need them all!
In Memoriam: Gösta Ekman 1939-2017
Sad News indeed. To hear the one of your country most beloved actors has passed on is always depressing. Even more depressing is when it happens on April Fools Day. Not that anyone would make a joke about something like this but denial is in the human nature. The date certainly doesn’t oral-turinabol make it easier. But I guess there’s no escape. Gösta Ekman is dead. Gösta Ekmans most famous quote must be “that he...
