Hello again from your secret Santa! I think from now I’ll probably just sign off my asks with 🎁🎄 so you know it’s me!

Let’s start off with your faves! What are your favorite bands, songs, albums, anything! And feel free to tell me why, or how you got into them, all the stuff!

- 🎁🎄

Hiiii! My favorite bands change all the time, but it's really only the order that changes. Right now my top 5 are The Who¹, Cheap Trick², Hanoi Rocks³, Meat Loaf⁴ and Tom Petty⁵

I have so many favorite songs, I can't choose 😭 But I'll say You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory by Johnny Thunders⁶, Bad Attitude by Meat Loaf⁷, Nonstop City by Shameless⁸, After the Fire by Roger Daltrey⁹, You Might Think by The Cars¹⁰, Southern Girls by Cheap Trick¹¹, Cheyenne by Hanoi Rocks¹², Fallen Angel by Poison¹³, Someday (You'll Come Running) by FM¹⁴, A Quick One While He's Away by The Who¹⁵

For albums it's Cheap Trick's At Budokan¹⁶, Appetite for Destruction by Guns N' Roses¹⁷, Bella Donna by Stevie Nicks¹⁸, So Alone by Johnny Thunders¹⁹, Bat Out of Hell by Meat Loaf²⁰

Below are the annotations to keep it somewhat tidy

¹ I started listening to The Who sporadically when I got into Queen in 2018 and played Won't Get Fooled Again on Guitar Hero, bought two albums on CD, but I only got into them properly through a mutual who I first bonded over Cheap Trick with

² When I first watched 10 Things I Hate About You at the beginning of this year and they played I Want You To Want Me during the credits, I looked up who did the original again and listened to more of their music only to realize I knew a whole bunch of their songs before

³ 2020 was my music glow up year and shortly after Guns N' Roses I got into Hanoi Rocks and I recently found some of their records so they moved up on the list again

⁴ My mom has so many Meat Loaf CDs and we always listened to them in the car when I was a kid and he's always been one of my favorites, I got so sad when I was at school and found out he died

⁵ I got into Tom Petty through Stop Draggin' My Heart Around when I had my Stevie Nicks phase in 2019 and he literally made music for every feeling, his songs are pure vibes and the ones I drive to the best

⁶ I first listened to Duff McKagan's cover in 2020 but the original is so important to me, it's one of my favorite comfort songs, I love playing it on the guitar and it's the only concrete tattoo idea I have

⁷ High energy banger I've been obsessed with for like 15 years and even more now that I know it features Roger Daltrey (little me just vibed with it and didn't bother checking)

⁸ I hadn't heard of Shameless until this spring when my local rock club announced they're playing with Tuff's Stevie Rachelle and Cherie Currie, but they're so good and I love that they opened their set with this song! I also met two of them and Stevie as well

⁹ I heard this song so often on the radio as a kid but never knew who sang it and didn't remember any of the lyrics, so I was really happy when I coincidentally found it in my Spotify recommendations last week

¹⁰ My mom has Heartbeat City on CD and this song, Drive and Looking for Love were the ones we listened to the most when I was little, they played it on the radio recently and I bought the album on vinyl

¹¹ It's such a fun song that makes me want to dance and reminds me of summer, probably my favorite on In Color

¹² This was me and my best friend's/situationship of the year 2021 song and I still get excited when I listen to it, I miss them since they disappeared from Tumblr

¹³ It's kind of a me song and it's one of my favorites to request at the bar because it gets me going every time

¹⁴ Another one I only started listening to this spring before going to their concert, at the time this was the one I got stuck on because it fit my situation (I sang along so loudly when they played it lol) but as I listened to more of their music, I recognized a couple of songs I knew previously

¹⁵ A fun silly 9 minute epic song from the 60s with different parts like I love it

¹⁶ Possibly the most iconic rock live album, they're one of the best examples of a band who sounds better live than in the studio, I'm so proud I got my hands on a 1979 European misprint vinyl for €12

¹⁷ An absolute no-skip album, I bought it in summer 2020, which started my glam/sleaze spiral that's introduced me to the most niche bands of the genre

¹⁸ I was really into Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks in 2019 and when I bought this record, I immediately loved every song

¹⁹ As mentioned above, Johnny Thunders is so important to me as well as this album, I was on the hunt for the vinyl for over 3 years until I found a reissue in May

²⁰ One of the Meat Loaf CDs my mom listened to the most with me and every song on it goes so hard, there's a reason people list it as one of the best albums

This post contains lots of Gåsmamman ep2 season 6 spoilers!!

Do not read if you don’t want the spoilers!

Final warning!

Okay! So a recap with feelings, here we go:

Starts with Sonja in prison. Protocal stuff for arresting a person. Then the recap of the previous episode comes. Sonja is locked up. Linus with a shockblanket😭 Nina comes to get him and he is crying. Zac is being a bitch about being moved to a safehouse. Someone is watching Sonja at the prison? Gustav decking a douchebag at the policehouse. I love it. Tove and Gustav fight at the safehouse. She is reasonable tho. Nina is being a good sister to Linus. Sad Linus breaks my heart. Emil refuses to tell Sonja how Linus is. Vera is doing her Ecovera shit and criminal things. Tony told her Sonja is arrested. Lukas and Sonjas lawyer have a talk. Tonys sister is probably the person who spyed on Sonja in prison. Barry and Winston😭 Winston doesn’t want the apartment Barry is fixing for him. Tonys sister attacked a guy in a gym for posting shit about Ecovera? She fucking killed him!!! Wtf. Vera and Gerafi is talking about how the marked is safe with Sonja behind bars. Sonja is working out in a prison. She is scared of the food in case someone is trying to kill her. The prison guards are bitches. Safehouse, Zac is paranoid about leaving everything. Barry buys a kebab and calls Lukas. Lukas asks Barry to help him free Sonja. Lukas buys random pills from a woman. Alarm is set off in the prison. The prison guard picks up Sonja from her cell. Sonja is put in chains. She is back in her cell. Sonjas lawyer tells Sonja to take the shady pills Lukas bought. THE BITCH is back! The woman who wanted to take her down in previous Seasons! (Don’t recall her name). Sonja is checked from head to toe. Lukas and Barry are dressed as ambulance workers. The pills Sonja has been given will put her shock and unconcious and possible heartstop. Tony’s sister is attacking Sonja in the shower! The prisonguard is corrupt!! She put the pill in Tonys sister. Barry and Lukas takes the sister in the ambulance. They suck at faking ambulance workers haha i love it. Sonja is blaming Emil for the murderattempt as she should! The bitch us back! Sonja is allowed to stay in the safehouse. Barry my beloved, you are not convincing at all. Lukas and Barry ditch the ambulance and run. Linus and Nina 😭. Barry is eating more kebab? And robbing the kebab guy… Linus and Nina are eating. Tove is excited about meating Sonja? Emil is telling Sonja about how he had to tell her kids about her "death". They found a policetracker on the car that was supposed to drive Sonja to the safehouse. Sonja is running away. Tony called Vera and tells her everything went south with his sister and that she is in the hospital and Sonja escaped. Veras model for Ecovera quits. Familytime in the safehouse? Emil tells the family Sonja escaped. Emil takes the family away from the safehouse now. OMG EMIL HID SONJA IN HIS CAR AND FAKED HER RUNAWAY!! WTF

okay so, this episode didn’t really do much? I’m sure Emil is taking everyone to The majors house after making a deal with Sonja. I think Emil finally realized what big shit Sonja is in. Linus really didn’t get to grieve Tanja and the siblingstuff I wanted wasn’t really present except some Nina&Linus scenes. Hopefully more will happen next episode

ok I have about a million cardboard boxes sitting in my apartment right now that I need to take out as soon as I regain the willpower but I am reflecting on my week and phew I am exhausted but in a good way?? I've been doing so much recently???

I've been on a decorating/organizing kick since my desk project and my bedroom and and bathroom are starting to look so nice and clean now 😭 I'm still waiting for some stuff to arrive but I got new bedding for the first time in 3 years and I'm so excited for how good they're gonna look!!!

I realized I accidentally planned all vegetarian meals for my last grocery run so decided to just stick with the theme and not eat meat at all this week! so far I found that overnight oats are kind of overrated, but this veggie burger recipe I found is 💯💯💯 and I'm still thinking about her (the leftovers I had like an hour ago)

not to keep bragging about the food I made but I did bake a basque-style sweet potato cheesecake and it was incredibly delicious even though I brought it into work and none of my coworkers ate any

I've been exploring local cafes and restaurants more recently by just walking around and using the light rail (which has a stop about a 15 minute walk from my apartment) bc lyft has gotten intolerably expensive, and I've been finding some real gems while also getting a lot of good exercise!

to make this more efficient though I bought myself a scooter (one of those manual ones, not electric—bc they're cheaper and don't have as restrictive of traffic laws) and I just took it for a spin for the first time today and while I did feel like a little bit of a dork it was also fun and a surprisingly good workout??? but most importantly about twice as fast as walking, which rules

with RTO likely happening sometime next year I've been thinking about the commute and it turns out that there's a light rail stop literally right next to my new office building so I might actually start making a routine of this, which is pretty nice bc it's only $2.50 one way (even without the subsidy I get from my work) and under 30 minutes door-to-door if I take the scooter

ETA: actually I think if I'm reading this correctly my work might actually pay for my public transit commute expenses in full??? It looks like I need to jump through some hoops for tax purposes but EYES EMOJI
