Social media monday

I’m currently trying to connect all of my social media sites to update and talk to each others. A bit confusing but it’s working pretty decent. My website is run from wordpress and i got plugins that will publish updates of my posts to twitter.com, ping.fm. My RSS feed is feeding feedburner.com with all the news and my facebook and myspace pages are picking it up and publishing it on my pages there.

If anyone got any other smooth solutions to integrating stuff more, feel free to contact me. You’ll find me online on these links. 🙂

Great concert photo

I stumbled across this great photo from when I played at Trästocksfestivalen last summer. I asked the photographer to let me post it for all you to see and he gave me his permission. I look rather cool, don’t you think? 😉

Working away for SXSW

I love running my own record label but it also means I sometimes have to work really hard and have a bunch of things on my mind at the same time. I’m showcasing at Canadian Music Week and South By Southwest in March so I have to try to find all the ways I can to market my music and my upcoming gigs there. This means I’m signing up on all different kinds of sites, creating profiles and adding music and videos. Sitting in front of my TV this sunday night I signed up to Ourstage.com, and if you want to helt me out, you can vote for me here by clicking this image:

Get a signed album!

I just got a new shipment of the album “Street of Dreams”. I’ve signed 50 CD’s and put them up in my private online store.

I got all of my album releases online and it’s the only place where you will find them that cheap AND signed. Get your copy today!

PS. Did you know that you can also buy signed posters in the shop? DS.

A face-lift for ear pain!

I did study french for two years in school, but unfortunately I don’t remember enough of it to read extensive texts. That’s why Google Translate is so handy, and it also adds a bit of humour to the web sites it translates as it isn’t always all that accurate. Just read this fantastic phrase about a song from “Jonestown”:

“At The End returns with more musical usual Sofia: folk arrangements with strings to support, this beautiful haunting ballad is a face-lift for ear pain.Â ”

Maybe I’m wrong to smile at this poor translation, because I can tell that the blogger “With music in my mind” (click the link to read the review) is dead serious and full of emotion when he writes about “Jonestown” being one of his favourite albums of 2008. And I’m very happy to read the poor translation of a text that is probably beautifully written in it’s original language. It’s always wonderful to see that someone in another country found my music and likes it enough to blog about it. So cheers for that!

PS. A tip: Chinese is the funniest language to try out in translation tools, it makes no sense whatsoever! DS.
