Hi.

For the time being I'm trying to focus on only moderating the Swedish part of Last.fm in order to get some more free time. So for example if you want to report abuse in English then it would be nice if you turned to some other mod.

Go to the forums if you have problems with scrobbling or stuff like that, because you'll probably get better and faster help there.

I'm a nice guy though, really. So feel free to talk to me about stuff that doesn't involve me using my mod powers too. Although sometimes I'm kind of busy doing... things... but if you're really cool I'll make time! Random friend requests will be denied though, unless you're really cool. So at least say something first so I know who you are.

Sveriges enda moderator (typ...), för övrigt. Så du kan komma till mig om du har problem och din engelska är lite sisådär, eller om du bara föredrar svenska (-r?). Bor och pluggar för tillfället i Norrköping, om någon är intresserad. :)

It appears most (there are exceptions) of the music I like is: recorded after 1968, serious (as opposed to humorous), in languages I can understand (lyrics do matter), more focused on atmosphere/emotion than technical proficiency, and generally not too out there/random/avant-garde while still not being purely commercial. It should be "true"/"honest"/"genuine" and made with conviction, although I realize this may sound vague and idealistic (and probably is). Nice production can be a plus since I can be kind of an audiophile, but it's no deal breaker. Oh, and I can't see film scores as real music. ;) I also have a bit of a phobia for Christian and Nazi music. (I realize that I've probably just described about 90 % of all the music that people like) Sometimes I relate to the romanticist ideals, other times it's the whole hippie thing, and sometimes I don't give a damn and listen to Lady Gaga. Anyway... Geographically, it's pretty much limited to Europe and the US/Canada. In terms of genres, a lot of it is metal (mainly doom, power, folk/viking/pagan/whatever - basically, I prefer the epic stuff over the "drink beer/listen to metal/party" stuff), some post-rock and post-metal, some punk rock, some pop/indie pop, some classic/progressive rock... yeah, that's about it. But the charts should speak for themselves. (Although not really, because they're biased towards short songs. But besides that.)

If you've read all the pretentious rambling above and think you could recommend me something that I could possibly like, please do. :)

Check out my CD collection at RateYourMusic if you feel like it.
I also have a Jinni profile for movies. It's good stuff.
