The Jonas Bjerre Appreciation Thread (back)
Yea, I just heard... Wow... :o Well, it's far too late to go back now. In the podcast there was an interview where it seemed Bo was just complaining about everything. They also couldn't name Fox Cub as the third song from Kites never played live. i got that after 3 seconds. :P It did remind me however, how important it is that they've known eahc other so long. Most of their lives. Any other band, I could name a few but won't as they're so mediocre to begin with...) Ahem, have disbanded over something like this. I think this proves it. Bo has grown up with Jonas almost, so he'd understand why Jonas needed the visuals and accept them even it he hated them. Alright, gtg now. ttyl Frengerinos!! :heart: ;)

Stina Nordenstam
Stina Nordenstam is a singer-songwriter. Nordenstam’s distinctive, breathy voice lead to early comparisons with artists such as Rickie Lee Jones and Björk. In 1991 she played at the Swedish parliament as part of the Year of Jazz. Her early albums, Memories of a Color and And She Closed Her Eyes, were significantly jazz-influenced, with only subtle elements of alternative rock. With 1997’s Dynamite she started down a darker, more experimental path - most of the album was filled with processed, distorted electric guitars and unusual beats, but careful listening revealed her unique song-writing abilities.

Acid House Kings
http://www.acidhousekings.com http://www.twitter.com/acidhousekings http://www.myspace.com/acidhousekings (unofficial) Acid House Kings is a Swedish indie pop band, founded in 1991 by Joakim Ödlund (also in the bands Poprace, Double Dan, and Starlet) and brothers Niklas Angergård (Red Sleeping Beauty) and Johan Angergård (Club 8, The Legends, Poprace). The band recorded their first songs that year and sent them only to one label, the German pop label Marsh-Marigold. A few months later their debut single "Play pop! EP" was released. - Anyone else like them? They're a twee-pop band I think has really nice songs. :)

The Jonas Bjerre Appreciation Thread (back)
Because he does a lot of the technical stuff, I think. Visuals, writes the lyrics, their website, etc. In an interview they did back in 2003, they joked about how only Bo went to college for a semester and how it was funny they called Jonas the professor. In their video diary (episode #4 ) when Damon Tutunjian visits he imitates Silas and Jonas. When he does Jonas he says "It does not work because, well, It just doesn't. It's scientific. I can't explain it to morons like you, you idiots." And from what I read it's about how Jonas always gets what he wants. :P Bo has mentioned Jonas as being a perfectionist when it comes to the lyrics and ideas for songs and how that's why it can take so long to finish one. (I think that was in the recent NRK interview Sofia posted on youtube... but someone translated it on mewsite.) And on the dvd, obviously, during the scene with Johan talking to Michael: Michael: just do it the way you've been doing it... Johan: (in a whiny voice?).. But I haven't been doing it... Jonas: try it.. try it... Michael: This is going to turn into spinal tap... But I think it's mostly because Jonas does almost all the technical stuff as far as visuals and their websites go, and comes up with a lot of the ideas. As mentioned on mewsite Bo and Silas seem to be perfectly fine with that, but perhaps Johan wasn't? I'd go on about that, but I'm sure we've ALL read the Storm thread there. Also, maybe he's really smart? He does seem to like math and learning about other cultures?

The Jonas Bjerre Appreciation Thread (back)
nice one jojo what a cute nickname that would be.. JoJo Bjerre... Ugh, except it reminds me of the time they performed on CDUSA (back when I was just hearing about them 3 years ago) and that r&b/tween/popstar JoJo introduced them... Maybe I can just call him Jones... That's his nickname in Mew anyway... next to being called the Professor and Jonastich. What else has he been called as a nickname? I've gotten these from their journal entries, interviews and the documentary. :thinking:

Mew
a tiny smidge of what i wrotes. :shy: It's a small part from the beginning of a FF I wrote involving Jonas pre-mew stardom(?) I think I use the word magic a bit much throughout it. Yea, well, here is the excerpt. (The font color looks better if you use the 'black' version of coldplaying like I do.) Now I must say, I wrote this after a brief nap. In fact I wrote every thing I did about Mew, and even came up with the idea because of my dreams about Mew. Hopefully that smidgen isn't too suggestive. No sex scenes were written (As I would know absolutely nothing about that.) Also, it's not gay or Mew-cest. and also a poem I wrote for the Mew's Frengers Group here. :P here is an excerpt.
