This year’s summer compilation is a mixtape comprising 24 tracks by Swedish artists and bands where each track represents one hour of a typical Swedish summer day. I did not mean to patronize or canonize my own country’s music and culture - but with a risk of coming across as, dare I say nationalistic, this [...]

A sky photo of a small part of my hometown: Sigtuna
I got a sudden urge last evening to go out biking. The time was around 19:10 and I knew it would be light outside at least for a couple of more hours. Now, I live in a small town - a really small town. For [...]

Apparently I haven’t got time to update that often but I have time to do these kind of stuff after work (I’ve traded studying for working this week). These are exactly 100 CDs that I’ve chosen rather randomly from my collection, don’t worry I have more . They’re not all my favourites, but all [...]

Unfortunately I have to lay another artist singing in Swedish on you. But here I am, writing about music that moves me.
