    Read The Ministry of Time  (2024) by Kaliane Bradley. Near future, the British government has a time machine - but instead of sending people back, they retrieve historical people who were about to die. Our narrator is a "bridge", a sort of supervisor who is assigned to introducing Graham Gore...

    Read The Fourth Consort (2025) by Edward Ashton. First contact science fiction, exciting and very well written. Despite being a major page turner of a read, it touches quite a bit on antrophology, honor and communication in a very exciting blend. Pretty good character work as well, both humans...

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

    Saw them this Friday the 13th of June in Stockholm at 3Arena (second show). Great show and my 7th time.

    The Concert Thread

    Attended the Håkan Hellström concert on the 7th of June at Ullevi, Gothenburg. New attendance record at 73,781 at the stadium. What did I watch? An insanely well-directed musical set to some kind of weird indie-pop? It wasn't just a concert - but it was glorious. This guy sells out Ullevi 3...

    Always (if you mean the IIHF World Championship). Sweden has a strong team and should go far on home ground. There's a massive difference in interest here compared to a decade ago, I'd say.

    Read Bridge (2023) by Lauren Beukes. An alternate-reality/multiverse science fiction story, which is my kind of story - period. I enjoyed the fairly novel take on traveling between realities, the characters and the drive of the narrative.

    Which albums turned you off from bands completely even if previous material was good?

    I was a big fan of Europe. Both the 80's band that dropped "The Final Countdown", especially Out of this World (1988) and the reunited and modern sounding band that did superb records like Start from the Dark (2004) and Secret Society (2006). The latter which I consider their best album. In...

    The Darkness - "Weekend in Rome" Dreams on Toast might be their best album yet.

    It's my favourite. Best Star Wars movie. Best story, action and music. Not a fan of Disney era and I'd rate The Force Awakens as the worst. About the only series contenders for the top spot is the OT so I don't see this view as controversial and it ain't that uncommon among us 90's kids.

    Saw Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) at the pictures. A well needed re-release of the best Star Wars-film. One of my best cinema experiences, and I'm glad I got to see it like this in 2025.

    Djurgårdens IF defeats AIK in the final of the Swedish second-tier series Hockeyallsvenskan and is once again back in the SHL next season. A Stockholm team in the highest series for the first time since 2022 when they were relegated.

    Tom Clancy is like that too. Seems there is at least a new book every year even though he has been dead since 2013. Of course, he allegedly used ghostwriters when he was alive and his name is just a brand by now, but come on. Same for James Patterson (still alive though). The Wheel of Time...

    The search for the best sub-1000€ guitar amp

    If built in Germany, anything ENGL. Overspecced and excellent sounds.

    What guitar do you play?

    Got a new Gibson Les Paul Standard. Very happy with the guitar. Excellent overall and plays absolutely fantastic. (Also with a perfect top and burst finish.) Only thing I've reacted to is the vintage style frets. Never seen it discussed. They've gone from jumbo frets during the Henry J. years...

    Färjestad is out of the SHL Playoffs for the third year in a row in the quarter finals after a 2-4 series against reigning champions Skellefteå AIK. Starter GK Maxime Lagacé sustained a neck injury period 1 of the first game so how he would have fared in this series we'll never know. In...

    Best New Music 2025 Edition

    The Darkness - Dreams on Toast was released today, 28 March. I love every other album since the comeback... So this is a good one, of course. Last one, Motorheart (2021) wasn't my thing, Easter is Cancelled (2019) was amazing, Pinewood Smile (2017) was okay-ish, The Last of Our Kind (2015) their...
