Homophobe, time to man up

I came across the following comment on a forum about a TV series:

"Gay kissing. I mean, really, does the general viewing public want to see this? Call me a homophobe. I don't want to see it. Turned me off to an otherwise watchable show."

I just had to write a reply:

"I'm gay and I don't want to see negative, stupid comments like yours. So I guess we're even. Yes, you might be a homophobe, but more than that, you're a coward and an insensitive person. I'm not offended by all the straight kissing that dominate TV in general. So I wish you would just cut the crap, man up and realise that people are different.

Gay love shouldn't be hidden away just because it's not your 'cup of tea'. Gay people exist. That's life. Just accept it and your life will be a lot better, trust me. It will save you a lot of anger and pain. It might even help you gain some new, interesting friends."

Christmas 2015

I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas! In Sweden we celebrate on the 24th, so I spent Christmas Eve together with mother, grandmother and my uncle Toni. We had too much food and sweets, of course. On Christmas Day, my sister Diana and her boyfriend stopped by, so we got to celebrate twice this year. We ended the evening watching the horror classic "Black Christmas".

Here are some of my Christmas gifts:



I love the Bananarama and Stock Aitken Waterman singles box sets. Sixty-four CD's of pure disco-pop heaven:



My favourite girls, mum and grandma:



My sister and her boyfriend, opening gifts:



And finally a photo of our Christmas tree:

Me and Marilyn Monroe

Ever since I was a little boy, I have looked up to Marilyn Monroe. Not just because on her talent and icon status, but because I saw myself in her. I'm not talking about her looks, obviously, since I'm not even half as beautiful as she was. I'm talking about relating to her on a personal level.

Most people think of Marilyn Monroe as just a glamorous sex symbol, the "dumb blonde" who had an affair with the president. Personally, I'm much more interested in the woman behind the glamour and beauty. The sensitive and sometimes fragile woman who fought to be taken seriously and who went through so much pain in her life. The woman who tried her best to survive in a world where sensitivity is seen as a weakness.

I don't know who the real Marilyn was. No one does, at least not completely. But I have my own interpretation of who she was, and that's the Marilyn I relate to. I know it sounds silly, but sometimes it feels like I have a special connection with Marilyn, like I know her. I guess all fans feel that way, but still...

Reading about Marilyn, watching her movies, listening to her music and reading her poems really helps me cope when I'm feeling blue. It makes me feel less alone, like someone out there really understands me, even if it's just an illusion.

In loving memory of Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962)



Marilyn Monroe... and me.

I will never stop

People may think I'm "too political" in some of my posts on Facebook and Twitter. Well, honestly, I couldn't care less. For me, speaking up against homophobia, racism, sexism and bullying is essential and I will never stop doing the right thing.

I believe that if we want the world to change for the better, we need to speak up against injustices, even if some people are bothered by it.

Dennis Alexis + Larry Forsberg = Eurotix

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share these fotos of Eurotix with you. They are taken by Stefan Gemzell at Forsbacka Bruk outside Sandviken. We are normally quite shy when it comes to being in front of a camera, but every now and then we try to make an effort for our listeners. So here we are:

The EP is out now on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon UK, Amazon US

Grandpa's old cap

This is a photo of my late grandfather Per-Uno "Puh" Hellström's old and dirty cap. He used to wear it all the time, especially when out on his belowed boat. I have many wonderful memories of spending time with him and grandma Sylvia at their summer house by the lake Storsjön, outside Årsunda.

Puh passed away on April 26 2004. He was a unique person, in both good and bad ways, and I miss him a lot. We all do. But when I sleep, I get to meet him in my dreams, so often that he still feels alive to me.

Kiss Them For Me video shoot

Yesterday, we shot a video for the upcoming Eurotix single "Kiss Them For Me" at the beautiful Forsbacka Wärdshus. Peter Englund from drag show group Diamond Dogs played our Lady Diana while Larry and I got to use these creepy masks of people related to Diana.

It will be a crazy video and we sure had a blast shooting it! The video and the new EP will be out on May 30, so stay tuned.

Spring time in Gävle

Spring has finally arrived in Sweden. Everything feels a lot better when the sun is shining. Here is a photo taken from the balcony of Rec/Play Studios. I love the view. This is where Larry and I get fresh air when we're working in the studio.

I've taken way too many photos of that building: "Rådhuset". A friend once said: "Every time I see that building on your Facebook profile, I know there's a new hit in the making!"

Second Eurotix album almost ready

In this building in Gävle lies Rec/Play Studios where Larry and I record all of our Eurotix songs. Tonight, we're going to record a bonus track for our next EP, a sort of parody/tribute to the Eurovision Song Contest. All the songs for our second album are already recorded. Now they just need to be mixed and mastered before they are ready for release. We also need to come up with a suitable title for the album. Any suggestions?

I'm so excited about our new material and I can't wait for you to hear it. Don't forget to sign up for our official newsletter and follow us on Facebook and Twitter for more news.

Beautiful pink sky

It's so nice that springtime is on its way. This is how beautiful the sky looked the other morning. Pink is my favourite colour:
