Sibelius’ Karelia Suite was the first classical album I bought with my own money as a pre-teen. This buy was inspired by a day in an exhibition hall where I first watched (alone) the orchestra (that my dad was in) […]

That was a great conversation, and very entertaining.
Look up “resourceful” in the dictionary and you’ll find a photo of Colin! Impressive.
Pat yourselves on the back, the both of you, for another great podcast!

Great interview, very interesting. If the music magazines did some interviews like this, it wouldn’t feel like such a waste of money buying them every month…!

Swedish rockstar Ulf Lundell (a sort of subpar Bruce Springsteen) once famously said “A cancelled gig is also a gig” after failing to show up to one.
So not seeing Cold Chisel is, I suppose, also in a way […]

Nice work!
I absolutely can’t stand “Anna (Go To Him)”, it makes my skin crawl…possibly even more so because that’s my name.
I loved the “Rock And Roll Music” compilation growing up, I didn’t own all of the […]

Doh!
Why it didn’t click that it was Lawrence’s voice I’ll never know. In my defense I’ve listened mainly to Denim and Go Kart Mozart, hardly any Felt…but still, that’s really bad!

The Stooges! Oddly enough […]

Aha – the man with the red trombone! He does have a very soft voice but I’m guessing that what made both of us think it was a female voice was that it is quite similar to Nina Simone’s voice in some ways, and her […]

No mic, no Skype, no cast! 🙂

I love the podcasts but I’ve fallen behind this autumn, having been too busy with the kind of things that can’t be done while listening to other people talking. I need to find the time to get back to making my […]

Are my eyes deceiving me, or is that David Johansen hamming it up as a ghost in the video??

This’ll be quick, as I haven’t heard anything new since November, and only seen a couple of things not worth wasting any time on. So just a few books to report!

After last month’s Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana […]

2019 was a bit of a rollercoaster, but as it ends I’m feeling quite optimistic for 2020.

In the spring I was extremely tired and could only get the bare minimum done. In March I decided that I was tired of my […]

I never go out on NYE, and it’s been years since I invited guests over. But I “celebrate” by eating something special, and just before midnight I always call my mum so we can drink to the new year together. This […]

And here’s Daniel Norgren in a rare party mood:

From an album I listened to a lot this year:

OK, time to give some answers and explanations!

1: bob hund – Istället För Musik: Förvirring (1996)
Possibly the best Swedish indie band ever…and great live! The title translates as “Instead of Music: Co […]

Örnsberg, far-flung? I grew up just a couple of metro stops away from Örnsberg…if by far-flung you mean far away from the city (and I’m not entirely sure that you do, but I can’t think of another meaning that m […]

Finally a year when friends and family listened to what I always wish for…I got seven books. 😉
Also two tea mugs, a very nicely framed photograph, a very pink plush pig, and a huge battery operated Christmas […]

I haven’t had enough time this year to participate much, although I’ve dipped in for a quick lurk once a day to keep up with what’s been going on. Hopefully 2020 will be much calmer and healthier so I can join in […]

Gorgeous! It has a sort of sci-fi feel to it, which I really like.
