Last night I went to Morgan’s BBQ in Brooklyn to meet my husband and all the other 18 people we were gonna spend the evening with. They had two tables and they ordered a lot of food (amazing ribs!). They just kept order stuff. After food they started to order desert. One brownie came in with a candle in it and I got a birthday song from all these people I didn’t know. I was a little embarrassed but at the same time I felt like this little girl again that got to blow out the candle and make a wish. I’m never too old for birthdays:)
We missed the two opening bands and came to Barclays Center just in time for Imagine Dragons. Their latest album isn’t the best, but they have some nice songs from the first album. We had a great time. I was maybe more interested in the glow sticks though, hahah. 
So, tomorrow is my birthday! We have plans for the evening but as off right now I only have laundry planned for the day, but I will try to make my day fabulous. I have to start my last year before 30 in an awesome way. 

Igar kvall akte jag till Morgan’s BBQ i Brooklyn for att mota upp min man och all de andra 18 personerna som vi skulle spendera kvallen med. De hade tva bord och de bestallde in otroligt mycket mat (amazing ribs!). De bestallde in mer och mer grejer. Efter mat borjade de bestalla in efterratter. En brownie kom in med ett ljus i och jag fick en fodelsedags sang fran alla dess personer jag inte kande. Jag var lite generad over det men samtidigt kande jag mig som en liten flicka igen som fick blasa ut ljuset och onska mig nagot. Jag ar aldrig for gammal for fodelsedagar:)
Vi missade de two oppningsbanden och kom till Barclays Center precis i tid for Imagine Dragons. Deras senaste album ar inte det basta, men de har nagra bra latar fran forsta albumet. Vi hade en bra kvall. Jag var kanske lite mer intresserad av lysroren dock, hahah.
Sa, imorgon ar det min fodelsedag! Vi har planer pa kvallen men som det ser ut nu sa har jag bara tvatt planerat for dagen, men jag ska forsoka att gora min dag fantastisk. Jag maste borja mitt sista ar innan 30 pa ett awesome vis.

The Best Way to Listen to Music

recordplayer-madonna recordplayer-2

Sitter i baren har hemma och precis startat datorn for forsta gangen idag. Lyssnar pa Madonna’s Like a Virgin album pa skivspelaren och dricker herbal tea. Om en stund ska jag satta mig i soffan och koppla av med att lasa en RollingStone tidning som jag kopte for typ en manad sen men inte har last an.
Vi kopte en skivspelare for 1,5 ar sedan. Onodigt kop kanske manga tycker med tanke pa att all musik finns online och man har oftast all musik bade pa dator och i telefonen. Men, det ar nagot speciellt med att valja skiva i hyllan, lagga skivan pa spelaren och forsiktigt lata nalen rora vid skivan som snart ger musik i hogtalarna. Det ger inte samma ljud. Det kanns mer verkligt.
Ar 2014 gjorde vinyl skivor den storsta musik comeback. 9.2 miljoner gamla skivor salda. Ar inte det haftigt? Mobiltelefonerna som tidigare blev mindre och mindre blir idag bara storre och storre och gamla vinyl skivor blir populart igen, vad hander egentligen? 

I’m sitting in the bar here at home and I just started the computer for the first time today. Listening to Madonna’s Like a Virgin album on the record player while drinking herbal tea. In a little bit, I will sit down on the couch to relax and read a RollingStone magazine that I bought like a month ago but never read. 
We bought a record player 1,5 years ago. Unnecessary to buy maybe some of you think since all music is available online and you usually have all music on both your computer and on the phone. But, there is something special to choose a record on the shelf, put it on the player and gently let the needle touch the record that soon makes music in the speakers. It doesn’t give the same sound. It feels more real.
In 2014, vinyl records made the biggest music comeback. 9.2 million old records sold. Isn’t that cool? Cellphones that earlier got smaller and smaller is today getting bigger and bigger and old vinyl records is popular again, what is happening? 

Guitar

Jag har fatt en liten sjukling har hemma. Han har frusit och svettats hela natten. Stackars liten. Han gick upp samma tid som vanligt och har nu jobbet pa datorn, men ja, han blir hemma idag. Jag har varit i butiken och kopt juice och soppa till honom. Det ar underbart vader ute idag!

Igar kom det en gitarr pa posten. Jim kom for ett tag sen med forslaget att vi skulle lara oss att spela gitarr (och jag trodde det var nagon annan som hade hackat sig in pa hans chat pa jobbet, hahha). Men nu har vi alltsa kopt en gitarr. En Yamaha. Den ar otroligt ostamd. Jag har alltid haft en gitarr. Fick min forsta fina plastiga rosa gitarr nar min syster foddes. Men jag har aldrig lart mig att spela (och inte heller lart mig att stamma gitarrer). Jag hade alltid sa mycket annat for mig och jag har inte sa bra talamod och trottnar snart. Men nu har vi lovat varandra att om vi koper en gitarr ska vi lara oss att spela. Far val lagga upp ett klipp har sen nar vi kan lite mer och visa vad vi kan, hahahhaha. 

I have got a little sick one at home. He’s been cold and sweaty all night. Poor little one. He woke up the same time as usual and is now having his work on the computer, but ya, he’s staying home today. I have been to the store and bought juice and soup for him. It’s lovely weather outside today!
Yesterday a guitar came in the mail. Jim came with the suggestion a while ago that we should learn how to play guitar (and I thought it was someone else that had hacked himself in to his chat at work, hahha). But now have bought a guitar. A Yamaha. It’s incredibly out of tune. I have always had a guitar. I got my first pretty plastic pink guitar when my sister was born.  But I have never learned how to play (and not learned how to tune guitars). I have always had so much else going on and I don’t have much patience and easily bored. But now we have promised each other that if we buy one we will learn how to play. Maybe have to share a clip here later when we know a little more and show you what we can, hahhahaha.

Record player

Igår fick vi hem en skivspelare som J hade beställt. Så underbart!! Ända sen jag flyttade till Stockholm år 2005 har jag saknat att ha en skivspelare i mitt hem. På mitt rum i Falkenberg hade jag en gammal skivspelare. Jag lånade pappas Michael Jackson och koreograferade i mitt rum. Jag hade en del egna skivor själv som jag bad pappa att ta hand om i julas som han nu inte kan hitta. Aja, vi får leta egna. Jim fick en ny LP av mig i födelsedagspresent, Led Zeppelin. Förra helgen när jag var borta köpte han på sig några till. Så otroligt roligt!

Vi har nu en skivspelare, men ingenstans att ställa den, hahaha. Verkligen genomtänkt det här. Men det löser vi, kanske redan idag.

Yesterday we got a record player that J had ordered. How awesome! Ever since I moved to Stockholm in 2005, I missed having a record player in my home. In my room in Falkenberg, I had an old record player. I borrowed my dad’s Michael Jackson and choreographed in my room. I had some records myself that I asked my dad to take care of last Christmas that he now can’t find. Oh well, we’ll find our own. Jim got a new LP from me as a birthday gift, Led Zeppelin. Last weekend when I was away, he bought a few more. So incredibly fun!
We now have a record player, but nowhere to put it, hahaha. Really thought this through. But we will solve it, maybe even today.
