WELCOME TO THE BASEBALL FIELD.

This is the home of The Baseball Field. Your source for everything you'll ever need if you're a true TBF fan. Here you'll find an almost insane collection of MP3's as well as some videos.

Feel free to download and share my music as much as you like. Everything is absolutely free, although copyrighted by me of course.

You can also buy some of my recordings. Cassettes, 7" vinyl and CD-R's. Drop me a line and we'll work something out. They're unimaginably cheap.

And please.. Drop a line in my Guestbook!

Just wanted to let You know that I'm currently recording my new album. Hence the lack of activity on this site. (Not that there were much to begin with..) I'm also directing this thing called Lundafesten with my friend Hedvig and some other loose cats of ours. It's going to be lots of fun. Since that site is in swedish, and/or if you're linguistically challenged, I strongly recommend the translation service provided by Google. Lots of fun!

And oh yeah - Here's a little taster of what's to come. I'm still writing/recording a lot at home, but soon I'll take this stuff to My friend Fredrik and Sanningens Silverstudio for additional recording, some mastering and fooling around. Then I'll finish the album at home. I guess I'm about 25% done at the moment. But I'm pretty satisfied so far.

The songs on the album are: It's Time, Numbers, 1986, Comicon '09, Twenty Four Hours, 15 Minutes and 4:50 To The Moon. And they're all about numbers, time, the moon, astronauts and usual suspects.

Two booked gigs this year already! Nice!

And Here's my DJ playlist from Cosy Den.

Also. I will finally make most of my old records available on CDR again. Beginning with the A Little Sound-trilogy wich will be re-released on February 18. There will be 25 numbered copies of each in the first bach. More will follow.

Oh Yeah! Two enchanted evenings will take the cake out of this decade. First - I will play some music (REAL music. With REAL artists!) @ Landet on Dec 30. When Cosy Den presents the utterly awesome Tada Tádà, The Andersen Tapes and de Montevert live.

A complete playlist of my obnoxious 'discflippin' will follow shortly after the event.

And the day after that - the usual new year party with the usual suspects. Fun!

Happiness don't have to be so complicated.. Last week I got my first fanmade video on YouTube. Mr Cosy Den himself - Mattias Jansson - made this minimalistic, yet beautiful video for the song There's no such thing as a sun.

And as if that wasn't enough - ♥♥♥ - Micke from Klubb King Kong named it "Song of the day" in his blog.

The Discography and Downloads sections are now more Up-To-Date. Observant readers / fans / listeners will notice that I'm not a man of my words.

Since I haven't actually recorded much lately... And since my latest records have been released solely on the "web". I've decided to make a "live" album with the songs I'm going to play on Cosy Den next week. It will be released in 30 copies and sold, together with a lyrics-sheet and one of my 7" that-night-only for 40:-. Two of the songs on it are from the forthcoming Swindie LP. These versions will NOT be available anywhere else. Soo... Good luck with that.

Since Mary is away on secret adventures in Africa, The Baseball Field will play a gig with new bandmember - Lauren at Lundafesten.

Lauren has almost 18 years of competitive Lo-Fi experience. She not only sang and played keyboards on Varsity in High School, but was drafted by Columbus State University in Georgia and played for Troy University in Alabama. She has been singing and dancing in competitive Lo-Fi-All-Star squads for over 10 years and has extensive experience teaching Lo-Fi to children ages 3 to 18.

Her band-fronting experience spans almost 15 years and specializes in Co-Ed partner stunts and competitive routine choreography. Lauren also provides music mixing services for area cheer squad routines.

Lauren is currently unemployed and homeless.

ABOUT ME.

My name is Joakim Johnsson. I live in Nyköping, Sweden. And I've been experimenting with noise, sound and melody as The Baseball Field for almost 15 years.

I played bass in the now legendary and sadly forgotten best fucking post punk garage rock unit out of Nyköping - Music / Ninja.

Me and my friend Fredrik also have a band called The Bodonis.

ABOUT MARY.

Mary is my partner in crime. A voice that melts ice and dances in the rain...
