"...with a few minor exceptions, “acting” is bullshit. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling’s talent is being good-looking, that’s it. If Margot Robbie had a face like boiled cabbage she would be working in a didgeridoo shop in Australia. Acting isn’t a real thing." medium.com/@doyouthinki...

It’s here. One of my all-time fav tastemaker music blogs with some sick reviews.

That painting of self-decapitating people alone is worth your dime.

The post-Pitchfork blues on my timeline is noticeable. I will miss the bygone era they actually were game-changers for nearly a decade. You know, the years they didn’t feel the need to write reviews for Avril Lavigne albums.

Wearing mask while sick in Sweden is a double-edged sword.

If you don’t wear it, you’re hurting the drugstore cashier. If you wear it, why do you come here when you’re sick?

Tapping into Kara Jackson and her special brand of d******d blues.

The first Peter Gabriel song I’ve heard was “Steam.” I’m an odd one, I don’t share your history.

It’s a great song, and I don’t know how Peter screams like that.

Screaming on steam!

Top 50 Albums Of the 2010s

You always wanted a twenty-tens album list that is objectively accurate. You are not dreaming. This is it. Be humble!

It’s that time of year in Sweden when it’s OK that the fridge door is left open.

Felt good when Amazon recommended me to buy “Black Swan” by Taleb, a book I already own. I picked it up at a physical store years ago. Before the age of tracking. They didn’t know this little thing about me.

Well, until now I guess.

This song by a Swedish guy called FAKETHIAS reminds me of overhead power lines. Find another song that sounds exactly like its title! And you can't say all Aphex Twin songs because that's obvious.

Who came up with the idea of PERMANENT MUSIC in cafeterias?

How many times do I have to listen to “I’m Like A Bird” by Nelly Furtado?

How many is enough many?

I came here to read.

I inadvertently created chocolate art. It also caused me a lot of licking.

I also told you earlier today about my sleep paralysis art. Turns out I’m not the hopeless case I thought I am.

This picture of Barbara Strozzi (1619-1677) has been on my coffee table for weeks. She was the badass classical composer (and courtesan) who published under her own name.

Publishing under a woman’s name was considered a badass move back in the 17th century.

I finally finished Hrabal’s story collection, Mr. Kafka. It was an inscrutable read and I could not follow the characters’ ambitions or motivations.

I have just heard that his later works are not as difficult. So, I may give another Hrabal a read in a few years.

136 pages took 11 days.

My sleep paralysis has over the years evolved into an art from. I’m proud of what my brain created last night.

Walking towards a heavily breathing presence from our bed to our studyroom full of smoke while feeling weightless.
