Mine and Larry Forsberg's synthpop project Eurotix just released the new EP "The Best Of Times". The title track received the highest number of votes in a poll where our listeners got to choose the next single. The song means a lot to me since I wrote the lyrics myself and because the sound is inspired by my favourite genre: italo disco.
The EP includes a new radio edit of the title track and the bonus tracks "Face Down" – an homage to my favourite Kim Wilde track – and "You Won't See Me Dancing". Finally, we've included a Hi-NRG remix of the album track "Su-Su-Superman", inspired by the sound of iconic producer Bobby Orlando.
Check out the gay themed video down below. It was made using "The Sims 4". The EP is out now on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon UK and Amazon US.
"The Best Of Times" tracklist:
1. The Best Of Times (Radio Edit)
2. Face Down
3. You Won't See Me Dancing
4. Hi-NRG Superman
I can't believe it's been a year and a day since my dear friend Charlotta Cederlöf passed away. I can't find the words to explain how much I miss her, she's on my mind every day. I recently found this postcard she sent me for Christmas back in 2013. It shows her own embroidery art of a character from "Game Of Thrones":
The Eurotix track "Let's Die Young" was a tribute to CC and the way she felt back in the eighties. Considering how she died, I can't listen to the song without tearing 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."
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".
Eurotix – me and Larry that is – want to wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year! Thanks for all your support this past year. We have a lot of plans for 2016 so stay tuned to our Facebook page for more news.
Our holiday song "Christmas On My Own" is available on iTunes och Spotify. But don't forget that last year's holiday track, "He'll Be Home For Christmas", still is available as a free MP3 download from our Soundcloud page.
