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 …
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 …
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. …
30 Day Music Challenge, day 15
A song you listen to while driving. We've got a car with crappy speakers but at least it's possible to use Spotify in it, even though it has made the time and date thingy completely freak out. Our poor little bumper car. It's been a lot of retrowave during 2021, especially The Midnight. I guess …
30 Day Music Challenge, Day 14
A song that makes you get up and dance. I'm not the type of person who typically dances, I'm good with the jumping up and down at gigs and shows but would rather just have a beer and be boring than hang out on a dance floor. Occasionally I get lured out of my comfort …
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 …
And she stumbled down the rabid hole
