Despite my dozens of records, the most popular song I ever sang is surprisingly this Swedish TV commercial which just passed a million views on YouTube.
It features Alexander “The Mauler” Gustafson lifting a person and me doing some moves inspired by the King.

Here are a few photos from a tiny street called Pustegränd on the island of Södermalm in central Stockholm.
The street is just a couple blocks long and is about 130 meters in length (425 feet). A large portion of that distance is made up of steep stairs that connect the higher elevation of the island to the streets near the water.
This short video from Apple Maps shows where is Pustegränd is located in Stockholm.
Here is a link to the street on Google Maps.
Here are a couple recent panorama images of Stockholm taken on a gorgeous day, August 13, 2016, from Champagnebaren at Mosebacke on Södermalm.

The level of Swedishness in this picture is blowing my mind. The Turn-O-Matic is about as Swedish as it gets.

Sometimes at my job at Bonnier Magazines I design giant refrigerator magnets for our magnetic conference room.
Sometimes we have after-work parties at the office with beer and tacos. Any time Mexican food surfaces in Sweden is okay with me.
Sometimes some mariachi singers show up. ¡Fan vad bueno! These guys are more rare than the food!
Last weekend, I accompanied my friends Theresa (“Disco”) and Iida (“Li’l Ratchet”) to the Hultsfred music festival.

The festival was held this year near Stockholm’s Arlanda Airport.
Perfect festival weather.

Good mornin’!

Thanks for sorting the garbage. Think about the environment!

Weather suitable for outdoor eating and drinking has finally come to Stockholm this year.

I met some clown this morning who was giving away free ice cream!
