UPCOMING RELEASE: COLDPLAY
"Coldplay are currently holed up in a studio in northern London, trying to hammer out the details for their still-untitled fourth album, due out in May. On a white board, three band members have posted radically different proposed track listings for the album. Chris Martin has withheld his, hoping to lobby his colleagues a little while longer. "I heard a Bono quote once that said 'Bands shouldn't break up over money, they should break up over track listing,' " he says. "Nothing could be more pertinent at this point."
To record their fourth album, the band hired legendary producer Brian Eno and pointedly tried to remove all outside influences. "We felt like the first three albums were a trilogy, and we finished that," says guitarist Johnny Buckland. "So we wanted to do something different." The band let Rolling Stone hear the songs they're working on, and most are refreshingly, bracingly different from Coldplay hits like "Clocks" and "Speed of Sound."
Several tracks are considerably rougher around the edges, with distorted guitars and more prominent percussion. The lyrics are darker, dealing with recurring themes of death and loneliness. And on several songs, Martin extends his vocal palette considerably beyond the falsetto that has largely defined him, exhibiting a lower, sexier mode that feels more personal and real. "Whether or not it's good, we certainly started to use more colors," says Martin. "It's impossible to please everybody, and it took us a while to learn that. It's just the freedom to say, 'Everyone might not like this. We're into it at the moment, so let's just get it done.' "
The band explored in a variety of sonic directions, something they attribute to Eno's encouragement. "He's just not judgmental, it's very refreshing," says Martin. Buckland adds, "It wasn't so much that he brings like a sound or something to it. He brings lots of ideas about everything, even down to like how we structured our day." His suggestion? "Take lots of breaks."

WANT A WIFE?
Swedish acress (?) Pia Johansson wants to get married through swedish paper Aftonbladet. I feel the desperation and it aint pretty. She comes off as a fucking retard.
She is 47.
"I´m not concerned about the way he looks. He can be of any age, but not younger than 15 and not over 80. And its not that cool if he smokes. But he has to be kind and willing to make out".
Readers are told to write her -it has to be handwritten, if he is violent it will show, she says - if interested.

HOTEL TOMO
San Fransisco is divine in it´s own perfection. But, Hotel Tomo - yes, thats the name - gives it more flare. A friend of mine L and I have been talking about that Californiavacation for quite some time now.
Maybe we could make this our home?
Maybe we could make this our home?
"Hotel Tomo shows what every Best Western could be: colorful, hip, friendly and modern, in touch with its neighborhood, with a few inventive features, yet still affordable. But it also highlights some of the constraints of being a Best Western: limited amenities and, for all the careful design, the unmistakable midcentury layout. Doubles from $139".
It looks really nice.
OUTFIT OF THE DAY
Thursday. Having lunch at noon with my cousin Linnéa and her babyboy Elliott, 2 months.
Shirt from Blend, West from Stckhlm/MQ, black slimfitted jeans Cubus, black boots Ecco.

EAU D´ENERGIE
I use this one as a handcream (not the showercream but I couldnt find the right one), and it smells so nice it makes the day better when you put it on. No lie.
DATENIGHT, VICTIM: MR TV.
I have a date with my TV tonight.
20:00 - Entourage and Men in Trees, will mainly watch E for ½ hour, then switch.
21:00 - Top Model 9 and Grey´s Anatomy. Watching Greys of course, the commercialtime is devoted to the models.
22:00 - South Park or 30 Board.
22:25 - Girls of the Playboy Mansion.
...then bed?!

JUST LIKE YOU
Watched Michael Jacksons minimovie/video "You rock my world" and was slightly disturbed by the fact that he was hollering at some girls. Yes, I know he is a man (atleast I think he is) and he might have some inclination towards liking women, but the fact that he and Chris Tucker is trying to get some girl and Michael says "She looked at me " and then goes after her makes no sense. He dosen´t get it. It´s like that fashionlady that have pulled her face into oblivion, thats what Mickey looks like. Does that attract girls?
I would be looking at Chris Tucker,
especially if he still danced with that bear.
Hot stuff.
Still, I can´t seem to sit still when Michaels songs come on. Goes and You Tubes a couple...

Oversized t-shirt with glasses (!) on them (looks abstract) from Åhlens, DCate jeans, H&M jacket, black heels from Vagabond. Glasses, Tommy Hilfiger.
Today the General Director will pop in for a visit. Should I be excited or nerveous? Maybe both... Now I´m ready for some tea...

Tuesday (after work). Tried on a trenchcoat on Åhlens, the silverbelt made it a NO for me.
Other than that it was fab.

BABY OVER THE PHONE
I just got the wierdest phonecall at work. First some kids just screamed and hung up. Then they called back and asked if I had a baby. I said yes, and they asked: - What do you do with it? Do you feed it? Then they hung up.
It was so odd.
It was so odd.
Edit: They called again, and I called back...and got their mom.
BUSTED.
OLD HOLLYWOOD CHARISMA
I just love her.
Looked stunning on the Red Carpet for the Oscars 2008.
Although it somehow reminds me of that draped dress one of the contestants of Project Runway - Malan Breton - tried to do (a brown ugly thing), but failed. This is how it had looked if he had suceeded.
Did I do that?

BAGS R US
Doesnt this seem wierd?
My bag is utter chaos, but to keep it like that seems like overkill.
"Along with your makeup and money, gadgets fit perfectly into any of the 10 distinct side-by-side compartments. The Butler's smart flat bottom design helps it stand on its own, so you can be confident that its contents won't co-mingle while you're in transit. The Butler Bag is sassy and versatile for when you're getting dressed up to go out or for when you're running out dressed down. It's made of soft top grain leather, comes in countless colors, and according the website, new styles are coming soon".
I don´t know, if it wasnt so ugly I might get it. My bags always clutter instantly.
Does anyone have any advice?
I fell in love with this one
(CNN Money).
"English designer Anya Hindmarch designed and sold-out the "cause" related canvas supermarket shopping bag in London at her own store and at a major London supermarket chain. The bag which says in scripted blue lettering, "I'm not a plastic bag" was developed by Hindmarch to bring attention to the wasteful and environmentally unsound use of supermarket plastic bags.
Now the bags in limited editions have come to the US at Whole Foods stores in the Northeast. I should say have come and gone as they are sold out. Some have surfaced on ebay for upwards of $250. The original cost was $15.
Ms. Hindmarch is thrilled with the success of her design which was not profitable but consistent with her brand positioning to make items she designs "fashionable" and "in" demand by stylish consumers.
Watching out for you everyday".
Hug a polarbear, save the world.
