    My favorits are Disturbed - Sound of Silence and James Blunt - Monsters (this one gets me every damn time and I feel her through the song)

    Right I have NEVER in my life speculated that and every year it just sort of pop up.

    But every year, there's intense speculation on exactly when Spotify Wrapped will drop — especially because Spotify never confirms the date ahead of time.

    Basically yes. I have no idea how to tell if they’re legit or fakes but the “genre” seems to be on the rise.

    I’ve noticed an uptick in these kind of videos on “normal” porn sites for a while now so I think it’s safe to say it does.

    But am also wondering if this is happening in every country, and only South Korea police are bothering to investigate

    Wow…that’s a lot in one announcement. No matter how amicable the departure may have been it’s pretty cold to drop a single a mere 2 hours after.

    I’ve been listening the hell out of Beserker and Jotuns War the last couple of years so Havamal have always been on my radar. Love their aggressive melodic approach to the genre.

    I love to hear that. I often just put the shot in a glass of water because I like the taste and to hydrate at the same time.

    I think moral rights is a grey area and I won’t touch on that but I will say that his username loosely translates to GrossGuy which can’t help. Again I’m not sure this law is the right way to go and I think this case has been framed in the media to be more about abuse to fit into a click baity narrative instead of the actual sentence. BUT at the same time I think it’s important to bring this behaviour forward so we can discuss the very reel personal consequences this have on people in this line of work.

    This is might be a bit controversial but I ended up hate-listening to The Notebook Trilogy by Ágota Kristóf. If it wasn’t for my book club I would never had finished it. I just couldn’t get into the premise of no patos what so ever. It was like alternative jazz music to me. I know a lot of people really appreciate this and I want to like it…but just don’t. To no surprise I was the only one not loving it.

    I chop up a pack of ginger root and turmeric root and simmer boil it in 1.5 liters of water for 45 minutes, let it cool a bit and then squeeze 3 lemons in it. Maybe a small spoon of honey if the taste is to much but that’s a preference. Then just pop it in the fridge in a glass bottle and remember to shake it before you drink it in the morning.

    I don’t know if it completely removes the bad taste/breath but it feels like it and leaves a much better taste and feeling in your mouth. Also the jolt of vitamin C is a nice way of starting your day. Plus it’s easy and cheap to make.
