We’ve made it through the first half of 2023 and I thought I’d make an update on how my goals are working out for me. Did I even start? Here's the 6 months re-cap! At least 50% of the annual re-cap on Spotify is going to be songs I listened to (because Partner in crime …
Fangirl for Arch Enemy
Arch Enemy has been one of my absolute favorite metal bands for as long as I can remember. I’ve always had a soft spot for women who growls. So. When the dates for their 2023 tour were released, I couldn’t resist and booked tickets for the gig in Kalmar, about a 2 hour drive away. …
Sweden Rock Diaries
If I only was allowed to visit one music event every year and nothing else, it would be Sweden Rock Festival. Sure, I basically grew up on the festival but as far as I can tell, there is no place like it. It’s the nicest and safest event on earth. It was the 30 year …
Sign of life
Hello, is anyone still out there waiting for this blog to update? It is now Midsummer's eve and finally possible for me to sit down and write a little. I might have mentioned earlier this year (?) that my desk situation at home was bad. A stunning antique piece that was not made for long …
Top 5 obsessions
Stray. This was a birthday gift but I just recently got around to try it out and it's one of the coziest games I've ever played.

When it rains, it pours.
Hey! I'm back. Long story short can be condensed into two words. The flu. I feel like it's taken at least two months to recover but it's "only" been three weeks. Christmas and New Year's got kinda canceled, everyone has had either the flu, Covid or a bad cold and it seems as if it's …
That crazy rush only music brings
Just when I thought I'd finally be able to go to a live gig this fall, tickets were booked and a we planned on staying at a hotel, the band cancelled on the venue. It temporarily killed my passion for live music and I've been in a bad mood music-wise for a few weeks. What's …
The Vinyl Record that has it ALL
I had to go back to earlier in the summer of 2021 to see when exactly I pre-ordered this beauty and on July 2nd, the purchase button on Bandcamp was pressed. It's the album Undir Köldum Norðurljósum (Exquisite Deluxe Edition LP) by Kælan Mikla. It was expected to ship out in December 2021 but then …
Friday Throwback – The Birthday Massacre
It was almost 20 years ago and the alternative scene was overflowing with what nowadays should be deemed "creepy cute". I still have a Skelanimal backpack that I can't quite part with because of Toy Story syndrome and thanks to an internet connection and shitty torrent sites, the music world got more attainable than before. …
Life and blog updates
Did I write that January had been a shit show so far? Well, it sure seems to be the theme. Just as I started to feel like myself again it was time to take the covid booster shot. I had no major side effects when I took the first two shots and thought that it …
