Legal
It’s been three months since my last post, a span of time spent mostly sitting in my former teenage bedroom in Florida (now a guest bedroom, of course), working and waiting to receive word back from the Swedish Migration Board about my resident permit application. Luckily, that’s over now. I’ve been given permission to live in Sweden until 2013 if I so choose. Awesome! As I mentioned before, I’m happy to chat with anyone else who’s going through this process. It’s scary in a way that only leaving your life in the hands of bureaucracy can be, which you can’t really understand until you’re going through it. I will say that the waiting was nowhere...

The Mutes Are All Right
Some years ago, my good friend Sean Novak told me something along the lines of: “If only you spoke as well as you wrote, you could rule the world.” I don’t know about the world domination bit, but the observation that a rift exists between my spoken and written selves is sharply true. In writing I’m somewhat formal and measured. When speaking, I often sound like a Valleygirl, overusing words like “totally!” and interrupting my speech with “like” far too much.

The Children Are Bored on Sundays
“Les enfants s’ennuient le dimanche (the children are bored on sundays)” is a cute short video made for designer eyewear line Oliver Peoples. It stars Shirley Manson of Garbage along with Elijah Wood, a quirky, sexy pair that’s a good match for the brand, which doesn’t seem to be taking itself too seriously. The music is by Zee Avi, who was recently interviewed on Studio 360. There’s a great interview with Police drummer Stewart Copeland on that episode, too, for his new book Strange Things Happen.

Lost & Lost: M.I.A. at Way Out West
M.I.A.’s performance at the Way Out West festival in Gothenburg, Sweden, solidified how lost she’s become, both artistically and literally, apparently.
Inter-song commentary aptly reflected personalities and performances at the Way Out West festival in Gothenburg, Sweden, this August.
Setting the bench for charm and congeniality was Stephen Malkmus of Pavement, who exemplified humility when he recognized [...]

Things & Things Mix Five: Sommar
Despite its title, this isn’t the second all-Swedish mix I promised earlier this year. That will come, but first I had to share the best tracks I’ve come across in the past two months.
It’s a collection of songs that are at times both harsh and dreamy, energetic and lazy, fitting for the summer/sommar.
