A sweater with all I love

A compilation of some of the things I love:



This is actually the coolest piece of clothing I own. Stumbled upon it in a store I seldom visit. Too loud music and just girly-girly clothing. Except this awesome sweater! How could I resist? So the stuff I love would be women with superpowers (or just women in general), beer (here represented by the 1669 Kronenbourg) and future wife (engagement ring on my right hand).

How 'bout some music?



It's been a while and I'm not really in the creative mood (or pissed off, the way I usually blog). So I thought I’d just brig you some music.

All these clips are from the Norwegian TV-show Stjernekamp (Battle of the Stars) where established artist cover different genres throughout the show.
So here is Tuva Syvertsen for you. Fiddle player, singer and front figure of the band Valkyrien Allstars and a lesbian.

The Way it Goes - Gillian Welch



I heard it through the grapevine – Marvin Gaye

 

 
Alabama Song – from the opera Rise and Fall og the City Mahagonny


 
Fire – Jimi Hendrix

Have you seen it?

The cutest thing out of Sweden since Fucking Åmål (Show Me Love), Kyss Mig (With Every Heartbeat). Fun fact, both English movie tiles refer to songs by Robyn (yeah, you know that tiny Swedish queen of pop and Body Talk)
 
The Plot: Mia (Ruth Vega Fernandez) and Frida (Liv Mjönes), both in their thirties, meet each other for the first time at their parents' engagement party. Mia's father, Lasse (Krister Henriksson), is about to get married to Frida's mother, Elizabeth (Lena Endre), which will make Mia and Frida stepsisters. Lasse's daughter, Mia, has not visited her father in years and arrives with her boyfriend, Tim (Joakim Nätterqvist), with whom she is about to get married. As Mia and Frida get to know one another, strong emotions begin to stir between them. Their relationship will turn everything upside down for everyone close to them with dramatic consequences.

I finally saw the movie yesterday and I absolutely adore it. Here's the trailer


And then there's this music video that you can find on the DVD. It may contain some spoilers, so be careful...


I just fell in love with Liv Mjönes. And it's nice to have a new favourite Swedish film after 12 years with Fucking Åmål on VHS. Just go ahead and buy it!
