Speak our secret into your hands and hold it in between.

We can build our dungeons in the air
And sit and cry the blues
We can stomp across this world
With nails hammered through our shoes
We can join that troubled chorus
Who criticise and accuse
It don’t matter much
We got nothing much to lose
But this wonderful life
If you can find it

First heard her on Sara Stridsbergs sommarprat I think, and I love it! I rarely start listening to new music for some reason, but I should.

Listen & look.

Becka is here visiting me, we’re off to our adventures and I’ll be back sunday or something.

The tears you are crying now are just your answered prayers.

Here are some reasons why Nick Cave is my favourite musician in the whole wide world!

Serious looove!

One of the best text messages I’ve recieved so far in life:
“Hello, I just touched Nick Caves penis (by accident) and his hairy chest (on purpose) Just so you knooow!” -Lisis
(Probably the only one in the world I could ever feel happy for in a situation like that.)

Anna von Hausswolff.

Anna von Hausswolff (click her name to listen to her in Spotify, do it now!) is the best thing out of Göteborg in a long time, maybe ever, musical wise! If you love Kate Bush and the likes of her or agree with my musical tastes in general you should absolutely take your time to listen to her debut album Singing from the Grave. (The cover of Gloomy Sunday is also amazing!)

Track of Time – live at Södra Teatern.

Covering Tom Waits (and getting away with it…)

Ps, I’m sorry my blog entries are short and text deprived these days, it’s just that my arms have started hurting a lot again so I try to stay off the internets a bit and just do the necessities… (Which blogging also seems to be, can’t stay off it completely obviously!)
Ps 2. I added some scarves, a dress and a skirt to Lily of the Valley yesterday.

heathen child.

There are no words and no actions to explain how much I love Nick Cave. And I just started to love him even more for this video. It’s the best video since the Weeping Song! Or the best video ever in the history of music videos. OK I’m off to die out of pure love.

The Boy Bands Have Won

“The Boy Bands Have Won, And All The Copyists And The Tribute Bands And The TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture To Be Shaped By Mimicry, Whether From Lack Of Ideas Or From Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try To Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother’s Hand-Me-Down Jacket And Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It To The Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don’t Just Regurgitate Creative History, Or Hold Art And Music And Literature As Fixed, Untouchable And Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try To ‘Guard’ Any Particular Form Of Music Are, Like The Copyists And Manufactured Bands, Doing It The Worst Disservice, Because The Only Thing That You Can Do To Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It… Dies, Then It’s Over, Then It’s Done, And The Boy Bands Have Won.”
