1/7/25.

The first Johan Angergård band I listened to was Club 8, specifically "Spring Came, Rain Fell". Karolina Komstedt's dreamy vocals were just the sound I was into at the time - the other band I remember listening to at the same time was Joy Zipper.

I didn't get into other Club 8 (Stockholm, Sweden) the same way because it was electronic/synth heavy. But then I found Acid House Kings, and later The Legends, and I realized that Johan Angergård is a musical genius.

"A Year With Club 8" rocks more than most Club 8 releases. It really reminds me of the sound of The Legends masterpiece (in my mind at least) "Up Against The Legends" - but not quite as rocking. Sometimes this also reminds me of the songwriting and sounds of Modern English, Yo La Tengo, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Chills, The Smiths or even The Bats.

This looks to be released on the bands own label. You can pre-order the LP on Darla Records.

Wax seals are one of my favorite ways to embellish letters. ✨🕯️✨ These days the letter processing machines tend to scrape them right off the envelope, so l've started putting the seals on the letter or card instead of the envelope.

"I hate broken English," the student declared. This wasn't his first hot take, and there were others that concerned me more, but this one was just...annoying.

In art appreciation courses, I get to cover graphic design as well as architecture, craft, and of course the so-called fine arts. So my inner word nerd delights in showing the class how the English language developed in written and spoken forms.

When I mention Old English, the example is 𝘉𝘦𝘰𝘸𝘶𝘭𝘧.

Middle English is Chaucer, with spellings like "quene" instead of queen.

Modern English includes both what we speak today and all the "wherefore" and "thou" and "sirrah" of Shakespeare. That's when the student chimed in, obviously missing the point about development over time 🤦‍♀️

"No," I replied. Just no. Because, as his teacher, I had to keep my curses to myself.

"Broken English" is a term of classism, racism, and white supremacy! Any old white man would use it against you, little twerp!

Zounds! I hope Grendel comes to get you in the middle of the night 🤬
