Fredstuff.com » dj http://fredstuff.com/blog Hi. I'm Fred. I live in Stockholm, Sweden. I like: Music, TV, Gadgets, Technology and the Webs. I also like to try out new things on the web and when I do I will write about it here. I've been blogging since 2005, mostly in Swedish. This is my first all English blog - Welcome!

I was out DJing with my friend Jonas this Friday night. It was fun. Here are some of the tracks we played:

The War on Drugs – “Baby Missiles”

I watched the train wreck known as the “Melodifestivalen” or The Eurovision Song Contest in English. It was the Swedish finals and I think the best entry came out the winner. Congrats to Loreen and her “Euphoria”.


I found something I wanted to take a picture of and I took a picture of it without thinking about what anyone else might think about me doing it. It felt good. There have been way to many missed opportunities of good photographs on my end. If someone sees me crouching over something lying on the ground with my iPhone in hand, well — that’s just me taking a damn good picture. I want to end this nonsense of me feeling like a fool for doing something that gives me pleasure. I’m sure some of you understand, the rest of you; congratulations!

At this moment I’m trying to out do my noisy neighbor by playing Katy Perry’s “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)” really loud. I hope he/she gets the message.

When I’m done with this post I plan on watching The Artist [2011] or Wuthering Heights [2011] — I haven’t decided yet. And I’m waiting for a new video from Marina and the Diamonds — she just tweeted about a premiere coming up. Nice. I guess it’s the track “Primadonna” (rel. tomorrow March 12) that sounds a bit like Coldplays “Viva La Vida”. BTW, Marina was here in Stockholm (she might still be here) last night watching the “Melodifestivalen” at the Warner offices.

That’s about it for now, have a nice end of the weekend!

I do admit to a feeling of slight guilt and neglect for letting it (the blog) be alone for so long.

So, what have I been up to you ask? Well, I’ve been really busy doing all kinds of wood work. The pic above is of the oak candle holders I made, five of them in total. I gave one to my mom on her birthday and the other four are up for grabs on November 25:th when we have our annual Christmas Market. I also managed to slap together ten small chairs. At the moment I’m working on twenty small bird feeders (made of wood obviously) that we will pass along to a center for people with brain damage. They’ll do the finishing up, sanding and painting so I’m just cutting out the designs.

I’ve been out and about playing records at different clubs and bars. I prefer to say ‘playing records’ instead of DJing.

I got my brand new Apple iPhone 3G S today – weeeee! I’m having a blast, kind of strange to finally have one in my hand since I know so much about it and how it operates without ever owning one. I’ve put some apps on there already; Flickr (might add a Flickr widget to the sidebar of this blog in the days to come – just need to fill the newly created account with some pics!), Facebook, WordPress (easy blogging on the go!), Twitterrific (need to update Twitter more often!), Skype and a few others. I have a great broadband plan for the iPhone and my sloppy neighbor has a fully open Wi-Fi going next door so I can use that when I need additional speed – haha! When I find some useful apps for the iPhone I will post them here.

Well, that’s about it for this brief update. Have a nice weekend!
