You write better with a reduced vocabulary than most people ever do! Wishing you a speedy recovery and better new year! (And yes: the Hallmark type movies are an endless joy every December, one dumber than the […]

I’m still waiting for the delivery of my final purchases of 2025, so I expect to have my list ready in a week or two. And for once I will have more than one or two entries for Tigger’s list as well!

Honestly, that’s one of my favourite tracks on the album. Catchy AF!

Interesting to see Tingsek at number one, I didn’t know he had a new album out. I’m sure I’ve missed several of his later albums, because the last one I bought came out in 2016! He’s never mentioned in Swedish […]

Retired. And I’m not joking, my first day of school was the worst day of my life – forced to abandon my carefree life of following whims – and I understood that going to work would be even worse. I’m still waiting […]

Yup, three for me as well. The rest on the list are albums I wouldn’t buy even if everyone and their moms recommended them to me…I understand that it’s Mojo, but how bloody old do you have to be to get on their lists?

I agree that it’s absolutely brilliant, and very difficult to get through. I had the opposite strategy to you; I found that once I was reading it I could barely put it down, but after every break I had a hard […]

Well, it’s true @Colin-H, and the reader is never far away from either a giggle or a lightbulb moment. If it wasn’t for this ability of yours I seriously doubt that I would have read a big book all about uilleann […]

Read: I had a really bad month for reading, time-wise but mostly just not in the mood. Part of the problem was that I suddenly had acquired too many books that I wanted to read and whatever I picked up I felt […]

You’ll obviously win by a landslide!

I am unironically of the opinion that Boney M’s Rasputin is one of the best disco pop songs ever recorded, so I’ll be expecting at least 2000 words on the subject!

It’s brilliant, and one of very few songs that even I, who famously can’t remember lyrics if my life depends on it, have managed to learn the lyrics to (without trying to). I can’t say that I find it has been […]

At first I thought you meant that she had died, and got very confused. But no longer making albums is of course also a cause to miss an artist.

Great losses, both of them. But I’m especially annoyed that we’ll never hear how Prince would have commented on what’s going on in Trump’s America. At least we have “Dear Mr. Man”!

I don’t whistle so much as quietly blow air through my only half-pursed lips, but only when I’m alone. I can hear the tune, nobody else have to. Sometimes accompanied by some soft percussive sounds made by my […]

Psst! If you go through that wardrobe, you’ll end up in Narnia…or possibly Skövde…I can’t remember.

“Bröderna bröderna bröderna bröderna Cartwright! Bröderna bröderna bröderna bröderna bröderna bröderna Bröd Lille Jo[e] sköt en sko mitt i huvet på en ko! Bröderna…(first two lines repeated) To the theme tun […]

Isn’t The Beta Band from Fife, or do I misremember?

One of the best bands in history, IMO, and he of course had a massive part in that. Although I confess I’m more emotionally invested in Marc Almond…today I’m sad, but when Marc goes I’ll cry.

As is true of most questions, the correct answer is the Taj Mahal classic “You Ain’t No Street Walker Mama, Honey But I Do Love The Way You Strut Your Stuff”. The live version, especially.
