I’ve been talking and talking about The Anger. About the album I’m making, made, is done. The day has finally come when I can get up of my lawn chair, the one placed next to other lawn chairs, in a circle, in a classroom, at night, and say:
Hi. My name is Tomas… and I am a musician.
(…and the rest of the people in the lawn chair circle all go: Hi Tomas.)
This coming Saturday you all will get a taste of what the album is like.
That’s all for now.

Ever heard of Meringue-Sviss or Meringue-Swirl? No. Then I’m claiming it.
From now on it shall be known as Tomas Halberstad layer cake (of death)!
What now?
Well, I’m still sick and I feel sorry for myself because I’m sick. So I have to eat. Eat something unhealthy.
But you’re on a health kick!?
Yes. But I need my food when I’m sick. How else will I get well?
Ok. Over to the cake.
Camilla and I did it and ate it today. It took us all of a commercial brake to finish it all.
Here’s how you do it:
Thinly sliced bananas
Whipped cream
Meringue
Vanilla ice cream
Chocolate sauce
Layer the ingredients until the bowl is full!

Still sick so I have a heavy head. Dense. Thick.
Can’t really stop thinking about music though.
I think it’s like this: I dislike format. People who now me now say no you do not. You do like format and concepts. This is true, I do. So that can’t be what I mean. What do I mean then? Well… I dislike that there is only one format, one accepted format of music. What do you mean? Oh tell us wise master! Ok then. Imagine you asked all the painters in the world: Do you want to be able to live of your art? You looked at the vast crowd (not realizing that there was so many painters in the world and cursing yourself for inviting them all here. This is going to cost you since painters have no money you’ll be stuck with the travel expenses). Every painter except for one from Australia (he says No mate) says YES! Ok than, this is what you have to do: Paint all your paintings on 40 cm x 30 cm canvas otherwise radio won’t play it. Ok the painter all say and were flooded with one direction.
I’m not saying that all music is the same because of format but why just disregard a valuable variable? Why is it so that we make music to fit the store front window? We make the product for the box and not the other way around.
You know Tomas, there is lots of music that is out of what you call format…
Shut up! SHUUUUUT UUUUP!
I of course know this. If you don’t have a benign way at looking at arguments then don’t look at them.
M-U-S-T S-L-E-E-P . R-A-M-B-L-I-N-G . . .
