Today Bruce Springsteen gives his first of three concerts in Stockholm. Sold out and a lot of people have been quening for four day, because the want to get as close to the stage as possible.
The Swedes have a very special relationship to Bruce Springstreen. Once the leader of the Swedish Socialdemocratic Party choosed to go to a concert with him instead of joining the party for the Nobel Prize.
Why do the Swedes love him so much? I think because of his lyrics - the political sense of them.
The Swedish medias are covering him up: every step he takes.

The
streaming music service released as teaser video of its Google Android
app, with plans for further details today at the Google I/O developer's
conference in San Francisco.The app, described as "very much
still in progress" boasts some impressive features, including offline
sync, which allows users to store tracks in advance for when no
internet connection is present.
Spotify was launched earlier this year and is a program with which you can listen to a lot of music, legally. It is streaming so you can not save the music in your computer.
It is so fantastic and Spotify has a lot of music to listen to, and mostly of the new released albums, as Iggy Pop "Préliminaires".

She habitually spends six days a year at the resort,
about half of which are filled with board meetings, the other half
dedicated to “observing operations”, writes the newspaper Expressen.
As for the other union heads - among them chairman of the Swedish
Confederation for Professional Employees, Sture Nordh - it is common
practice to take their spouses along to accompany them.

Lundby-Wedin, it has emerged, let her husband share her double hotel room for free.
This constitutes a tax benefit, writes the newspaper. Something that Lundby-Wedin says she was not aware.
Wanja Lundby-Wedin, head of Sweden’s Trade Union Confederation (LO),
has been criticized for letting her husband stay for free at an Italian
holiday camp. They have shared a double room.
The Trade Unions have been strong and had a lot of influence upon the politics in Sweden for ages. But this might be the start to a change about that. People may loss their trust in the top of the trade unions. It is the money of the members the top people spend.

When I was in my tweenties I still remember a lot of late nights:
sitting around a table, slipping at tea, discussion about life and
solve all the problems of the world with friends, listening to Oxygene
of Jean Michel Jarre.

I have a project in my life now: I collect live gigs of the
legendary musicians. When I was young my parents did not like me going
to concets. So. I have not seen that many wonderful gigs when I was
young. So I collect this experiences now. Lucky for me is one of my
sons very intrested of seeing great artists too. My husband has been
old in his mind and dont like to go with me on this gigs.
Here has my son blogged about the Concert with Jarre in our blog (in Swedish).
Kulturdelen is another good blogger who has posted about the concert.
A review in the Daily paper.
Here is more pictures from the concerts.
It´s a nice microblog tool. First I follow a lot of people I do know. And we usually have a lot of interesting discussions.
Sometimes I got news from my Twitter followers. In some situations Twitter has been the fastest channel to get the news.

Sometimes I got news from my Twitter followers. In some situations Twitter has been the fastest channel to get the news.
Now I also started to use Twitter for following interesting people.
As for today I started to follow Sonic Youth. In my Swedish blog we
post a lot of stuff about music - so it will be useful to follow good
musicians in Twitter. Today I read this message at Sonic Youth twitter place:
happy record store day! we’ve got 2 split singles out
there today. one has our version of beck’s ‘pay no mind’, the other
‘burning shame’
Nice: two singles. That´s good news.
Other people from the cultural area I follow are: Brian Eno, David Lynch, Wille Nelson and Christian Moerk.
By the way: My Twitter-account.
The Swedish Daily Dagens Nyheter
warned today about the new lifestyle: always online and messaging,
twittering, blogging and phoning. I think these stuff can be stressing.
For being a king in your life you must how to turn all this devices off
sometimes. When you choose yourself.
Another discussion in Swedish news about Twitter is whether makes
the communication between politicians and people better. One exampel is
how useful information it is no read in Twitter about how many sausages a certain politician eats one day.

Everyone who knows about the Internet, knows that Pirate Bay is just a search engine. It´s not Pirate Bay that share files.
If Pirate Bay is guilty Google is too and the Internet.

Ludvig Werner, head of the Swedish chapter of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), was jubilant:
“The court has issued a clear decision, which is that people and
companies engaged in the creative sector have a fundamental right to be
compensated for their work and protected from the copyright
infringement committed by The Pirate Bay.”
So: what is the next step? Closing YouTube, closing Google, closing
Yahoo and then closing the whole web and change it to a tv-station.
People realizes that this is the wrong way to go. Of course people
want musicians and filmproducers and authors to earn money. But the
right way is not to let everything stay as always: the business must
use modern techniques. The verdict against Pirate Bay is no solution.
The Pirate party in Sweden gets a lot of new members now.
I blogged about in my English blog.
More about the verdict in English papers:
BBC, The Local,
In Swedish:
Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter, Svenska Dagbladet, Expressen.

Everything you need is a mobile phone with video. (No I am not working in that company, this is not an ad, its an advice).
I am working as web editor for the Nature Scientists in Sweden and on Tuesday I am going to broadcast a big event in Stockholm there researchers in technology and medicin will discuss about science and economy in society. The event is Stockholm Meeting:
On March 24 2009, the Swedish Association of Scientists,
together with the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences,
is organising its second Stockholm Meeting conference - from Nobel Prize®
to commercial use and improved daily life
The aim of the conference is to clarify just how important science is
in today's society and for Sweden's continued development. With the
starting point of lectures by Nobel Laureates, we take you on a journey
from research to benefit for society.
With the success of the first conference in fresh memory we are convinced that this is a much needed forum.
It is our hope that this new exciting high-quality forum will continue
to promote dialogue and the exchange of experiences between new and
established researchers, as well as between researchers, politicians
and trade and industry.
Scientific research and the discoveries that are made are intended to improve both society and
our daily life. We want this conference to be a powerful platform for demonstrating just how
much society has to gain from science.
Bambuser makes this very simple and uncomplicated.
So I want to give this tip to all BlogHers:
use Bambuser for broadcast on the Internet.
