🎧 The Dead Eye – The Haunted

Been listening to a bit of The Haunted lately. Mainly the “The Dead Eye” record. Just some beautiful guitar work on this one. And great vocals (as is normal for Dolving). Plus, I sometimes need a bit of Per Møller Jensen’s drumming.

🎬 1BR

Movie poster for “1BR”.

Not super-logical. Was ok, with a few good scenes. But not really recommended.

🎬 Rope

Movie poster for “Rope”.

I like movies that play in a single room – like a play at a theatre. It’s a pretty morbid play. And pretty clever. Reminded me of Columbo at times. Bonus points for making it look like a one-shot movie. Thumbs up!

🎬 Blade Runner 2049

Movie poster for “Blade Runner 2049”.

A rewatch. First time was in the cinema, where this movie is much more impressive of course. But I liked it a second time on the TV, too.

Convincing story. Amazing futuristic and dystopian world. Probably would watch a third time at some point.

🎬 The Thing

Movie poster for “The Thing”.

One more horror classic. One more great film!

Reminded me of Alien in a few ways.

Great special effects. Great set. Great story. Great acting.

🎬 About Endlessness

Movie poster for “About Endlessness”.

My second Roy Andersson movie.

He has a unique style. And I think I still need to get used to it. Nevertheless, this was entertaining with it’s dry humor. I probably didn’t fully “get” this film, though.

🎬 Rosemary’s Baby

Movie poster for “Rosemary’s Baby”.

Another classic – from 1968! – I’ve never seen before. It’s deservedly highly respected! This must have inspired so many horror-movies after it. I can’t recall an earlier (horror) movie with that “secret backdoor” element, the “nosy neighbour cliché”, the “is the protagonist going crazy or is she right?”-storyline, or that “look through the door spy”-shot. And there are probably even more firsts in there.

Hail chocolate mouse! Hail Satan! Hail Rosemary’s Baby!

🎧 Meliora – Ghost

Ghost’s “Meliora” album made a return to my rotation. Songwriting par excellence.

🎧 TRILOGY – Carpenter Brut

Pretty unusual for me since it’s very electronic. But great stuff!

🎧 Hiss Spun – CHELSEA WOLFE

Got into Chelsea Wolfe. Mainly her “Hiss Spun” album. It’s a bit like the heavy, less electronic, even more melancholic version of Portishead. Also reminds me of the acts that would play Twin Peaks’ Roadhouse. Love it!

🎧 Moontower – Dan Swanö

“The Big Sleep” was on some sampler when I was a teenager. I stumbled across this song again, and have now been listening to the whole “Moontower” album quite a bit. In case you don’t know: Dan Swanö plays all the instruments and does the singing, too. A true one-man-band.

📖 Was weiße Menschen nicht über Rassismus hören wollen: aber wissen sollten – Alice Hasters

Ich dachte ich kann mich halbwegs gut in Menschen reinversetzen, die konstant Rassismus und anderen Diskriminierungen ausgesetzt sind. Aber dieses Buch hat mir vor Augen geführt, wie anstrengend, gefährlich und entmutigend das wirklich ist – und wie es ist wenn man dem...
