This day was spent rather interestingly. I got up early this morning and headed off to Ingesund to have a recordingsession with a band. It’s stupid, I lost my keycard so I had to rely on my amazing classmates to open the studio for me, which they did (Thanks Ewelina!) and we could get on with the recordings.

It was a fairly simple recording – drumset, guitars and bass, taken one instrument at a time. We had difficulties setting up, but thanks to my amazing classmates (Oliver, Gereon, Fredrik, Jens – You guys rock) we could move on with the recordings eventually.

There isn’t a lot to say about it, more than we spent half the day in the studio recording their song, and all that is left to do now is to mix it and have the singer lay down vocals on it. But that’s some other times troubles.

Today was pretty eventful day. Or perhaps not, what happened anyway was that Jennie and I traveled off to my late grandmas old summercottage. We have some plans to fix it up a bit, and then spend at least a week there this summer. So we got in the car, drove all the way up to Haftersbol, with a little difficulty, since it’s been quite some time since I was there. I was certain as hell that we’d miss the hill.

But we didn’t, and we got there. We walked around the place and looked on what we shall do with it and the property and what we want to have done. We sat down in the car to discuss all of this as it was quite windy, and before we knew it a little, or pretty big, hare jumped passed us. It was so cute.

Once we felt done for the day we went into Hagfors to enjoy a really good kebabroll and then heading home. Except we didn’t find home. Or we did, eventually, but we ended up taking the wrong route home, which is kinda weird because we had planned to stop by at Haftersbol… But you know, shit happens I guess haha!

But I really can’t wait to spend some quality time there this summer. It’ll be awesome.

Seriously, this week, and this day, has been very, very long. Long days, a lot to do, so it’s nice to finally have had some time to just CHILL OUT and rest and get back from everything. The last few weeks on the road has killed me more than it should, not because traveling per se is difficult, because it’s not, but because I have no self-disciplin what so ever.

I try to tell myself like “When you go on that bus, you need to sleep” But will I do this? No. Once I get on the bus I’m like “Oh I should do this and that or that and this” and I end up doing NOTHING but listening to music instead. Listening to music is absolutely great, but on the other hand, it doesn’t exactly help you when you are sleep-deprived. Haha. Oh dear lord.

It’s some time left until it’s time for the festival summer to kick off, and even though it sucks to have nothing to do, it’s kinda nice. To recharge, clean up everything, sort out everything, FIND everything, seriously, I had to leave for Belgium and Brighton without my favorite Lordishirt because only GOD KNOWS where the heck it went. I found it now though, so I’m happy.

But you know. I can’t wait to get back on the road again. And even though the days feels so slow right now, I’m pretty positive it will all go very, very fast in the end.

Well well well… isn’t that interesting. Just yesterday I wrote I don’t really hate any band, but I have a few I may not care for. One of them which I linked, I won’t mention their name (call me stupid if you want, but you are never seeing their band name on this blog again)…. So ok we have them… then… I guess it kinda comes to artists like Kanye West, I really don’t like the stunt he’s pulled on other musicians just because Beyoncé hasn’t won an award.

And yeah. That’s about how far I came with that. I think a big reason why I don’t want to just throw out bands I don’t like or care for like that, is because things change. Had you asked me like four years ago if I liked SlipKnot I would have laughed and asked how you could even think such a thing. But here I am, with them as one of my favorites.

Times changes, people changes, musictaste changes. So yeah. The Unmentionable ones, and Kanye West is gonna be the ones I’ll put up for you here.
