  • Actually, I’m pretty sure professional athletes of his age would be in worse shape. Professional athletes tend to give their bodies a pretty brutal beating for years in the sprint towards pushing themselves to the absolute extreme limits of what the human body can do. This is also not healthy or natural, just on the other end of the scale from a sedentary lifestyle.

    I mean, I got your point, I just felt like it was worth pointing out that athletes aren’t necessarily symbols of health, especially not in the later stages of life.

    And it’s Danish, too! That might not mean a lot to you, but we’re a small country, so it feels really cool when we get recognized globally.

    I mean, nowadays we’ve made a nice mark on the movie industry, with Mads Mikkelsen, Jamie Lannister, Winding-Refn, and movies about drinking winning Oscars, but that was different 24 years ago.











  • In my town, there are mostly electric vehicles nowadays. I was out walking along a larger road in my neighborhood when I noticed a bus and two cars passing each other, and it suddenly hit me that earlier in my life, that would have been a very noisy affair, but it wasn’t. I also realized how much the world used to smell like gas. And does anyone else remember the rainbow colored gas puddles you used to see and smell in parking lots? I don’t remember the last time I saw any of those.

    Then I realized there is a world where my kids can grow up outside of noise pollution, cigarette smoke and car fumes, and it made me a little more hopeful about the future.



  • Usually t-shirts and hoodies, vinyls, armbands and autographed drum skins are the essentials, I feel like. And then every band has some assorted rotation of merch on top of this, but that’s not universal for every band: beanies, mugs, CDs, keyrings, baseball caps, posters, ashtrays, weed pipes and bongs… These fall into the two categories of merch that caters to the target audience, and merch that is bought in bulk from www.weprintyourcrap.com.

    For what it is worth, CDs are definitely pretty rare, because it’s just an obsolete media. The CD was convenient before phones became even more convenient. Vinyls, on the other hand, are very popular and often occur because they’re decorative and playing them is considered an experience.

    For reference, I mainly go to pop punk/rock/indie/metal shows
