Weird computer problem solutions

My precious computer (named JED after the Grandaddy robot) has begun to behave strange. It isn’t really that unusual for computers in my life to do that after a couple of years (one day I will tell you about my HAL computer, and you’ll understand), but this computer contains all the Raven Nation stuff, my work and other interests so it would be a huge problem if it went bye bye. Well, yesterday I suddenly couldn’t start the JED. When I pushed the start button the power light just flashed but nothing else happened. Later on I tried again, with the same result. Then even later on I tried one last time and then it worked again. I wasn’t sure why. Today the same thing happened, but this time when I moved the computer when it was on. I cried some (not really, but I could have) and shook the damn thing. And of course it worked after that. I have stumbled upon quite a few weird computer solutions during my life, but this was the strangest one so far. But as they perhaps say somewhere - a solution is always a solution.

Logh and Anna Ternheim

Yesterday I saw Logh and Anna Ternheim at Malmöfestivalen. I was impressed by how tight Logh was . Even though I think I prefer their old songs it was a really nice concert. Anna Ternheim is one of the best singer/songwriters I know and she played all of my favorite songs with good guitar play and her perfect voice. She started out solo, but was later joined by a band and got more of a synth sound. I have never seen her before and was surprised that she gave the impression of a person from the Swedish culture show Röda rummet. Anyway, it was a good evening!

The first step towards the stars

The Raven Nation is now officially a band (if you really can call one person a band…)! At 01:57 tonight I finally made up my mind and now there’s a lot of work to do. For example there is a website to be made, but foremost I must finish all – or at least some - of these songs I’ve begun recording. And when that is done I’ll need some skilled people to play them with. I have thought of a couple of people that I hope will want to join the band and we’ll see how that works out. If you know someone who lives in the vicinity of Malmö, Sweden, and wants to play heart smashing power pop, let me know!

Now, you may be wondering what this blog will contain? First of all, it’s my first real blog. I have thought about creating one for myself, before, but I haven’t felt like I really have something interesting to write about . Until now! I will fill this blog with info about The Raven Nation and things that touch the subject. Basically that means I will write about the progress of the songs – from idea to recorded song, the RNTV – a monthly Internet TV show I intend to produce, try to cover my thoughts about science fiction and such interests and to that add some views about the green society and what’s going on around the world, even though I prefer to express what I feel about such matters through my songs.  I will get more in depth with all of the things I’ve covered in this post, in the future.  You’ll see…

Be aware! This may be the beginning of something fantastic. So stay tuned!
