Just came home from kulturnatten in Växjö. I got books and a poster. Skilla played two sets with a short break in between, the first contained a few more people in the audience than the last time I saw them. And the second set it was so packed I can only describe it as knökafullt. Expect at least one photo before I need to sleep.
I also, somewhere, lost my cheap scarf. Thank God it wasn’t...

“The salesman in the pencil shop promised me that I could test one of the really...”
– Helena. A nice pen is great, but somehow I don’t think it’s usable in every situation like a cheap one. After all, “a medium-point Bic round stick is the preferred pen for emergency tracheotomies.”

I have a kickstarter.
leliabroussard:
You guys! I’m feeling really excited…and also a little TENDER and SCARED in my insides! I am making a new record. These things tend to cost some money and money I do not have. So I made a kickstarter to hopefully be able to pay for this thing! I would love it if you guys would help me do this.

Usher-like, I need to make a confession:
drinkyourjuice:
I regularly struggle to open things that are perforated or have little tabs where the tear has already been started for you. Also, even if I rip it, there’s a solid chance that I somehow did it wrong and need to use scissors anyways.
Oh yes. Or you open it in the bottom instead by accident — which of course leads to other accidents. I got tomato in my ear thanks to a perforated...

pforu asked: Have you ever listened to the Monks? the Quick? Anathallo? Blind Willie McTell? the Solillaquists of Sound? Erik Satie? Charlie Musselwhite?

I like music. Quite a lot actually, sometimes perhaps too much. I don’t really care about genres any more, or what others listen to. It’s sort of borderline autistic I think, this disregard and homing in on details. This is why I have far more with Fu Manchu than Metallica, think that the beats of Cunninlynguists’ weaker songs still outclasses most other hiphop acts by far, that...

“In The Aeroplane Over The Sea” - Me covering Neutral Milk Hotel
[…] Unfortunately it’s not up to par with what I’m trying to do. I’m going to make another attempt tomorrow with real microphones.
Complete with my fixing my bangs in the beginning and doing nothing at the end!
Bah! Small things like that that adds to the whole charm. I think you should keep it and work in...

Knife Chase
linnheidi:
Today I shot with a large format camera and a girl that never has been modelling before. Everything was quite challeging, but my goal was to do the photos as if it was a painting!
How is large format film to work with? I’ve only done 35mm in the darkroom but I’ve been thinking about in getting a large format camera some time in the “soon” time-frame. (Medium...

“I would rather hit myself in the face with a hammer than follow 233 tech people...”
– Meaghano. These are words to live by. Not only would one get the inanity that is 233 tech-idiots, you’d also use twitter to further the world’s webcock index.

I’ve been thinking about how to read people. Not in the real life then, even though I admit I need to work quite a bit on those skills too. But here, on the Internet. There are times when I’m asleep and times when I’m not by the computer — if you have to bring it up, I can agree that there’s an overlap in those two — and stuff just pile up.
Sure, there’s Google...

“The em dash [—] is the nineteenth-century standard, still prescribed in many...”
– Bringhurst is breaking my heart (via inky)
I agree with Inky, of course. The em dash is beautiful, and in my opinion works much better than the en dash — see? No-one is perfect and I fully believe that this is Bringhurst’s flaw.
