Sune Wagner has over a week in the begining of August had a service for his fans. They could ask him a question a day, and he would ask a question back at you. I would like to believe that is was only me he had asked, but it was not.

Day three
My question for Sune was very simple:
Q: What is your phone number?
A: I don’t remember *lol*
Sune wrote out on their website, that he was not able to ask questions back at people because the amount of questions he got. There were a massive delay on answers also because of the amout of emails, so the above were the answers I got from him. Anyways, it has been a lot of fun to have had the opportunity to ask question and to get answers.

Yesterday we went to Malmö for the festival, and The Raveonettes gave an excellent concert. Very energetic, and a lot of the songs they played were from the old albums. That was nice to hear as the last two concerts I have been to with The Raveonettes have been with songs from their new album primarily.
We also saw the Danish band The Figurines.
What an amazing band! I have to check them out some more. I don’t even know what kind of music they can be said to play, but it is absolutely interesting and original. You should check them out!
I can strongly recomment the Malmö Festival - it is fantastic! The whole city is involved in the happenings and activities, and everyone can enjoy something there; Music, food, tivolies, stalls with all kinds of crap, and so on.
I will definitly be back next year!

Just want to draw a bit of attention to the upcoming festival in Malmö, Sweden. It runs from August 19th to the 26th. I went last year, and it was a blast!
This year I have one purpose there really: The Raveonettes (Friday evening), but there are a lot of bands playing, and several of them are bound to be interesting too.

Last night, Friday the 17th of June, I went to the Queens of the stone age concert in Vega . I saw them two years ago as well on the Roskilde Festival, which was phenomenal.
I have to say (and my apology to Sune Wagner from Raveonettes - you are very very cool as well) that Josh Homme is about the coolest guy walking on earth!
The concert last night was fantastic!!! It was insanely wild and totally rocking! We were drenched in sweat and beer and were jumping around for a long time. I have no idea how long the concert lasted, but they definitely played for a long time which of course was cool. The only thing that could have been better was if Josh would have been talking more to the audience. But oh my God they were rocking and making Vega the place to be last night.
The guys from QOTSA have been playing in quite a few combinations with other bands and artists. You should check out Mark Lanegan, Desert Sessesions volume 9 and volume 10, Eagles of Death Metal, and Foo Fighters.
Anyways, I hope my hearing will come back on my right ear soon..
