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. …
Top 5 Obsessions
I've been on a skiing vacation and I then I got a sinus infection from hell accompanied by migraines from the pressure on my stupid face. Things could be better but hey! It seems to be on brand for this completely new dumpster fire year. So that's why the radio silence and also why I …
A playlist for the lost ones
I got asked in the comments on the blog if I maybe could recommend a playlist for someone who wants to hear something new. Voilà! A playlist with a little bit of everything that I've been playing a lot lately. I'd say it's fairly easy listening, nothing extremely weird (except for maybe Analfabetism but I …
Top 5 Obsessions
Can you feel the season change where you're at? It's still fairly warm here but something is different with the light and with the smells. It's not sunny at 4 am, instead there's a soft, misty and cool feel in the air during the mornings and you can sense the weather switching for cooler and …
Top 5 Obsessions
It is my first day off with exactly nothing to do in a few weeks and what's better than getting up at 5 AM? It is a million degrees out and impossible to sleep so here we are. Not much has happened since my last update. I might have spent all my savings on a …
30 Day Music Challenge, day 13
A song with a long title. This one feels like it was made up by an emo band in the beginning of the 2000's because I don't think anyone else ever put THAT amount of effort into making song titles long and complicated. But I happened to listen to Kælan Mikla when I did my …
30 Day Music Challenge, day 12
The song you know all the words to. Lyrics are my thing, they stick in my brain like superglue, no matter if I like the song or not. If I hear it once, chances are I will be able to sing along next time it comes up. If I really like a song and it …
30 Day Music Challenge, Day 9
The first song that plays on shuffle. How old is this challenge? How do other people consume music in 2021? I use Spotify and have an embarrassing amount of playlists, both created by me or saved from others. They vary from just one album, or maybe a discography from a specific band or artist, to …
30 Day music challenge, day 5.
The song that reminds you of high school. The equivalent of high school in Sweden is upper secondary education (gymnasieskola) and it's a three year long education. I was fifteen when I started out, eighteen when I graduated and it was HELL. I was weird long before high school so nothing really changed, it just …
