The best rock singer around!

In Swedish you can write a single-word horror story which will make most people go pale with fear: “stamrenovering”. This is when (older) houses have their water pipes and electric cabling replaced. These are (or were) baked into the walls and the refurbishment makes the place unliveable for months

awesome!

Strange enough, I actually did switch from a Tesla to a Kia EV3 as I don't want anything to do with T. Also, the EV3 is a waaay better car.

Looks like there is an email scam going around related to UK VAT returns. I run two companies and received emails for both of them. As usual in these cases, don't click anything!! Sender email is a clear giveaway.

Love Rock Neon Rose · A Dream Of Glory And Pride · Song · 1974

Another song tip, this time something more unknown. Love Rock was recorded by the Swedish band Neon Rose in the 70s. Wasn't very successful. This song has some "Black Betty" qualities and, as a guitarist, is loads of fun to play.

That Peter Gabriel song is absolutely beautiful!

Final Masquerade

The first song has 143+ million spins on Spotify, so it is quite well known: Final Masquerade by Linkin Park. Beautiful song and also (IMHO) a production masterpiece. Drums are absolutely sensational!

On this last day of 2024 I thought I'd start dropping some music-related posts. I will post some info about songs that I think are truly exceptional. Maybe you will discover something new?

Beautiful photo! I suppose it is Fyrisån. I'm just a bit curious about whereabout the picture was taken from. (I lived in Uppsala many years ago)

1/ I agree with this.

Yes, blanket Trump tariffs are likely to drive up prices for consumers, hurt US manufacturers, invite retaliation and if applied in North America disrupt well established NAFTA/USMCA supply chains.

But it may not be universally obvious, and Trump will have mitigation options.

Did you know BlueSky only has 20 employees?

We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to those 20 warriors (who are working 24/7 to keep up with the incredible growth) for giving us a space to share.

We escaped hell to be here.

Thank you, @bsky.app & Jay Graber CEO (not a billionaire)

Need more #cat pics. This is Leia.

It feels like Bluesky now has the critical mass of interesting people and I am dipping into twitter much less than before. This is definitely a much nicer and more interesting environment.

Being Swedish in the UK, I do take a bit of pleasure actually understanding the names IKEA give to their various products.
