Music.
Work.
Family.
Humanism.
Love.
This also works in a reverse order.
Wonderful artists. Beautyful or ugly doesnt matter.
The important thing is that they make great music. Or will do so in the future.
We also like to meet wonderful people within the music-industry. Management by fear or love doesnt matter.
The important thing is that they have a lack of prestige.
What i dont like is a band with to much hybris. Only pop & rockmanagers is aloud to have that.
And the best album ever made so far is "Revolver" with The Beatles.
The artwork on the albumcover to Revolver is also fantastic.

Phoenix, Barry Manilow,The Smiths,Wham,Coldplay, Chic, U2, Kent, Josh Rouse,Triffids,Neil Young,Sade,The Beatles,Anna Ternheim,Earth Wind & Fire,Marit Bergman,Bee Gees, Gerry Rafferty , BWO,Kris Kristofferson,John Lennon,Madonna,Yoko Ono, Yin & Yang (Sthlm), Prodigy, Barbara Streisand,Kiss,The Strokes,Andreas Mattsson, Popsicle,Ronan Keating, Indiebandy, Gilbert O..Sullivan,Matthew Jay,The Eagles,Paris,R.Kelly,Bryan Ferry, Sex Pistols,Kim Wilde, Donald Fagen,Patrik Isaksson,Joni Mitchell,José Gonzales,Dub Sweden,Division of Laura Lee,Judy Collins,Elvis Costello,Weeping Willows,Tomas Ledin,Budgie,Bachman Turner Overdrive,Wilco,John Holm,Irene,Ladytron,Oasis,Happy Mondays,Rod Stewart,Moonbabies, Prefab Sprout,New Order,Grand Drive,Panic At The Disco,Justice vs Simian, Yelle,Dj Shadow, Dan Königsson, Eric Prydz, The Magic Numbers, Midlake, The View, Robert Harris, Walter Taieb, Moonlit Sailor and this list is gonna grow..
Interesting stuff & people in the Music biz right now:
might come soon...
Rumble Fish.
The Warriors.
And everything made by Mr Woody Allen.
I also like Nicholas Cage a lot (also in that lovely age of 43).
Opium for the masses. Except for DI. Morse.
About Books & Magazines, what i dont like is music- magazines with to much hybris. Like taking in advertising but no editorials. Even so sometimes u have to advertise. See you in hell!
Other magazine's i just love!
Otherwise i enjoy music bios and everything by Patricia Cornwell. And Ulf Lundell of course.
And Jack Kerouac, Conan Doyle.
The amazing comic adventures of "Captain Bernard Prince".
