If you..re not living on the edge you taking up too much room - Andrew Weatherall

About Me

a 6'1 mad man from sweden who likes music and think too much in life...but still enjoys it!I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

I like many things, like most people, but music is my main interest. To give the picture some more colour: I like art, architechture, cities, global issues, movies, writing and reading, shoes / sneakers, creative ideas, to be with friends, to make and eat nice food, to have a drink or two and to travel. ...sounds so damned ordinary, but it..s what you do with it that is the difference!

I'd like to meet:

people from all over the world and it..s not bad to like music...

Music:

It will take hours...I love music!Some of the music I like: Elliott Smith, Michael Cardenas, Band of Horses, Kaiser Chiefs, Blonde Redhead, Kate Nash, Dot Allison, Familiar Trees, Malakai, Katie Delwiche, Giant Drag, Heikki, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Blue Foundation, David Bowie, Elastica, Ebba Forberg, Franz Ferdinand, Jori Hulkkonnen, Frida Hyvönen, Joy Division, Kris Krisofferson, Led Zeppelin, Stina Nordenstam, Portishead, Wanda Robinson, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, CSS, Bruce Springsteen, Candie Stanton, The Long Blondes, Thåström, Tralala, Tunng, U.N.P.O.C., Martha Wainwright, The Who & Neil Young. For more check my friends or ask.

Movies:

Could do this for ages, but some: Almodovar is great! I mention two of his films: All about my mother and Tie me up, Tie me down!, some other films I like: Black cat white cat, Boy..s don..t cry, Cidade de Deus (City of Gods), Hästmannen, Kids, Godfather, Requim for a dream, Last King Of Scotland, Smoke & Blue in the face (must be seen one after one!) and The Adventures of Priscilla - Queen of the desert. You have to see Messenger a damned good bicycle film Dan in NY have done http://www.cinecycle.com/messenger.mov

Television:

I..m not watching TV very often, but The Office, Scrubs & Simpsons, are some good ones to start with. Otherwise documentaries and the news are always a good selection to watch. Not to forget, Kobra at Swedish SVT!

Books:

Wonder why I do this, it..s so hard to find some good ones even if I read a lot: Tropic of a Cancer by Henry Miller, anything with Sture Dahlström, Killing Bono by Neil McCormick, Beijing Doll by Chun Sue, How to alienate people and loose friends by Toby Young, the book about Ian Curtis written by his wife, this is a start at least! For the moment I read Bodil Malmsten - För att lämna röstmeddelande, tryck stjärna

Heroes:

More then one I guess and it..s also changing from time to another but some of them: Anna (she..s fantastic), Sture Dahlström, PJ Harvey, my grandmother Hulda (sadly dead since 1994 97 years old), Mehmet Gürs (seem to a great personality), Peter Rost (one who have balls!)Christian Azar (environmental prof.) and John McEnroe are some of them. Will come up with more namnes further on.

A new chapter in my life...

The 17th Of September will change my life a bit I guess. That´s the day I´ll have surgery for my discs in my neck...a bit scary and joyful at the same time. Hopefully I won´t have any problems anymore...
