ice age remembered


stockholm by waves

I thought it would be a sneak preview of things to come. Some artificial winter before the real one sets in, I told myself in December while visiting the ice oval in the King's Garden (Kungsträdgården). I was dead wrong. The real winter had a change of plans and traveled elsewhere this year so we'd better cherish what memories we have of snowflakes, slippery roads and - of course - ice skating in the city. Here's another clip, enjoy! (2007-12-16)

blandaren


stockholm by waves


The student's union at the Royal Institute of Technology are very much associated with creating and distributing a periodical, Blandaren ("the mixer"). Any frequent traveller of the Stockholm subway will have met guys in orange overalls selling it. Their sound is very much a logotype of the student's union so let's listen now to a gentleman generating demand among passers-by at the T-Centralen ("subway central") station. Enjoy. (2007-12-16)

ice age

Now is the time for ice skating. The King's Garden (Kungsträdgården) offers an amusing chaos where all ages and nationalities take a chance on that slippery surface. Snow or no snow, this is the sound of our Ice Age. (2007-12-16)

Today is the first quiet day in many stores. Reminiscing the Christmas shopping madness (and preparing for the big sales "mellandagsrea" coming up!) here is a golden moment of shopping rush from Sergel Square. (2007-12-16)

Oljan blir bara dyrare och t.o.m. cykeln behöver en skvätt
