(About Kent's cooperation with Sony Ericsson.)

J.Berg:
A dig in the wrong direction?
I just think it's odd that some people (far from everyone) download our music and then have the guts to moralize over our attempts to secure the future of the band and the studio and the individual members in other ways.
What do you mean my logic is insufficient?
Doesn't people download our music without paying?
Or did we just choose the wrong partner to cooperate with?
Nothing is free for adults unfortunately.

J.Berg:
The lyrics are the most important of all when I write lyrics. The music is the most important of all when I write music, but I don't like the common misunderstanding about lyric writing in general.
Good lyrics shouldn't be able to stand alone without the music and the voice. They should be pointless.
The lyrics shouldn't be separated from the music because that's like taking away every... intonation, expression and soul and feeling.
But if you are referring to that I've said that the most important is "rhythm" in the words it's like everything else: 10 times harder than you think.
For further listening to "rhythm" in the words, check out Nina Simone's "Do what you got to do".
And Yes.
OT like hell!!

J.Berg:
Thank you.
When we release a new record it usually triggers a storm of emotions and it's the same thing this time.
I especially remember "Isola" and "Hagnesta Hill" which were received with an extreme mixture of anger, panic and joy.
Where is my kent, was something one heard and hears every now and then.
We can just do what we like and what gives us goose pimples at a given moment, but we're extremely grateful that you listen. It's a huge privilege to be surrounded by so many people who think what we do has importance in their world.
It's almost impossible to understand.
But thanks to all of you (both you who like the record and you who are disappointed).
Thanks for the time you give us!

Martin Sköld:
I can't be quiet anymore.
Hello, by the way!
I have to know what all these musical terms you use here mean. I'm thinking about megalomanias (or what he calls himself);
"computer drum" and also "German computer-made" which I don't remember who wrote. The last-mentioned might just be spelled wrong, because a "German computer deer" is easy to understand. It's nice to learn something new on a Sunday morning.

Peace///
Martin

(Explanation: Martin wrote this when people were discussing the electronic sound on Tillbaka till samtiden. "Data-gjort" = "computer-made". "Data-hjort" = "computer deer".)

Now that would be an interesting topic .

It'd be very revealing.

[m@rco]

It'd be very revealing.

It certainly would be if he is using pictures, with scarve and without .

I'd ask him if he could do that stare, like a Thom Yorke at the Mercury Awards death stare during one of his concerts.

Hot. He has to do the "Jocke eyebrow" thing. You know what I'm talking about? Man, Sandy does!
