I asked my Hifi shop AI, how to prioritize for the best sound, it said:
1. Cartridge/pickup
2. Phono pre-amp
3. Headphones amp
4. Headphones
5. The mechanics of the vinyl-player
6. Cables/vibration
With the exception that the weakest link defines the sound.

I am winding down for the Yuletide, and intend to post an advent calendar (1-24/12) with 24 pics/videos from a visit to Ireland this year.
2026 I'll try to go with the flow and be all about North America/UK on Bluesky. This big market should have great creative musicians and authors.
Cheers. 🍺

The third of the 3 best albums I know about from 2025.
Selftitled - Eternal Darkness
I see it as a companion for those in grief. It's all about death.
On a foundation of simple riffs, layers create great effect. Should be interesting for friends of doom, since it took 30 years to get it made.

Best of 2025 (1/3 that I know about)
Nightmares as extensions of the waking state - Katatonia
Sounds very nuanced with different drum-rythms and a lot of electronic sounds. Poetic lyrics.
Best song "Efter solen" unfortunately not in your language. 3 layers of lyric comes together in its finale.

Best of 2025
March of the Unheard - The Halo Effect
I am happy it has held up since its release early this year. It's like in between In Flames and At the Gates and one of the 3 best albums of the year that I know about. Good guitar-sound and electronic sounds. Bombastic. Togetherness-choruses.

Could we try not to support and use services from Alphabet, Meta, Amazon & Spotify? Since they have supported Trump economically.

After reading the latest issue of Sweden Rock Magazine, the most interesting thing that can be grasped in a second - is that there are a Finnish band who are similar to Swedish adventure rock band Hällas! Mausoleum Gate.
Also, the metal professor claims that USPM is better than German Power Metal.

Anti Cimex. In the Swedish Music Hall of Fame! Nice.

Anti Cimex - Swedish Music Hall of Fame
Ett av de mest inflytelserika svenska banden du aldrig hört på radio. Utanför Sverige vet få punkare vem Joakim Thåström är. Men alla känner till Cimex-Jonsson. Är det en överdrift? Nej, faktiskt inte...

Mission no X - U.D.O
Solid heavy metal album with a constant drive, with a couple of exceptions. Little wild lyrics.
Bombastic "Eye of the Eagle" a little special. Or take 24/7 with the line "you've gonna squeeze it, your gonna please it, always pay the price", nice for a dominator to demand.

A small lgbtqi-monument in Gothenburg. It is 3 real-size spaces (small spaces) that made a huge impact for the lgbtqi-culture. The bottom one a disco-dancefloor.
It's called "Gläntan", (in english "the clearing/the glade").
I like how people can fill a space with spirit.

About 10 years ago I had been unemployed for some years, and was about to possibly become homeless. I went to the city of Malmö, traditionally a red (socialist) city, and got support to get a home. Got a job. And when the years pass by, I keep feeling very thankful towards the red city of Malmö.

I watched "Springsteen: Deliver me from nowhere".
Despite clichés like strings when it is sad, it worked. Showing fragility of "the little person". The chosen away woman, the father, the mother, him. The more empathy you can feel, the better it gets.
