Allsång på Skansen & Special Video

Hi folks!

Today is the day - Allsång på Skansen day! Swedes: Turn on your TV at 8PM and non Swedes, go here! 

Also have a look at this video.

'Carl talks about dreams. As a kid, he used to dream about being able to kiss a girl but he didn't know how to make a girl wanna kiss him. What he did know was that in the church while getting married, the priest says "you may kiss the bride" - so as a kid, he dreamt about the day he would get married.'

thanks Celine ;-)

Reminiscing

Hello hello,

It's been while since I posted something. It has become quiet around here. To fill this silence i found a video of which i thought got lost somewhere in the space of youtube. But I found it again.

Hamburg, September 25th, 2010. Reeperbahnfestival.

Carl played a song he hasn't played since he was 14 years old. It was a very special moment when he played it. Apologizing in case he forgets chords and/or lyrics. Hehe :)

Listen to the song here

Sophie :)

Hello there Carl Norén ...

... Who is constantly trying to go his own way.

Now he has released the popular album 'Owls'.

Tonight he's playing at Pipeline in Sundsvall.

• How would you describe your music?
- I'm very inspired by the kind of music for example Cornelis sings. And my parents always played and always sang Swedish progg music and such so I got some influences from there as well. But also Nirvana and hip hop I listened to as a teenager.
• What's the advantage with playing solo instead of in a band?
- I choose all by myself how I would like the music to sound, if I would like to have reggae influences, I take reggae influences. In a band it becomes more restricted and tied to others' opinions and influences.

• How have the reactions of the Sugarplum Fairy fans been?
- Some of them have objections about it being too slow, but I don't play to satisfy people. If you don't like it, you don't have to listen to it and if you do like it, then continue listening. I also had a blog for quite some time between Sugarplum Fairy and the Carl Norén-'career' where I explained who I am and why I started this solo career.

• How has the tour been so far?
- The last concert, which was in Stockholm at Debaser, it was a lot of fun and a lot of people. I played for the first time with many people in the band, so it was fun.

• How do you feel about the gig tomorrow at Pipeline?
- It's gonna be a scaled down trio concert where you can listen to the songs on the record in acoustic versions. It will also be the first time that we are doing it with this setting, including an upright bass.

• Reactions on the new record?
- It has been good, I don't read much reviews but from what I've heard from others it's been mainly a positive response.

• Plans for the future?
- Right now me and a couple of members from Mando Diao are building a studio where we're gonna produce other artists.
