1. Rediscovering my love for teenage bands, and regaining my hope for all of humanity.
1.2 Razika – Program 91. The best thing that ever happened.
1.3 Iceage. The album. The live shows. They may have saved my life.
1.4 WU LYF. They may not be teenagers, but what’s not to love about a band that doesn’t just refuse to do interviews, but also regularly delete the wikpedia-page about themselves.
2. Coming out. A Doll’s House Fanzine: The Smalltown Girl Issue.
3. Le Havre.
5. Oysters. Delicious oysters.
