How did we end up this way?
It seems to be a classical existensial question. So how did I end up having a jonatan.blog.com? In fact, the answer is kind of existential. I’ve had several myspace profiles, which felt a bit off but it wasn’t until I read fellow Kortedala resident Jens Lekman’s thoughts on how myspace (et al) devalue music through the use of its immense floodgates, that I could put my own feelings into words - and action.
I don’t want to be a collectibe or disposable - a virtual pokémon card amongst thousands. And I really do want to hear what people think about my music, performances and blog posts - but not in a generically molded setting where the main bulk of “conversation” is flyers for gigs in cities I’ve never visited.
Everytime you create a webpage, a forum or community profile, you think long and hard about how to organize things; how to present them nicely and neatly? Usually with time, however, your elegant interface turns out a royal mess. So instead of reworking an old interface in need of an overhaul all too soon, I will provide bits and pieces along the way and hope that they contribute to a meaningfull(er) whole.
Instead of judging what is uninteresting and extra-interesting, and making the priorities for you, the chaotics bits will hopefully assemble to a representation of my life more in keeping with “reality”.

It’s my hope that attempt to reach out as an artist, fellow human being and whatnot will be of more interest, than a polished or generic version of life. This is my way of reaching out to you, without spamming your inbox or your comment window. You know where to find me, and I invite you to share this with me.
Yours Sincerely

Hej hallå!
Hur är läget med allt? Nu har jag flyttat åt dina trakter… eller rättare sagt något kvarter åt höger… mellan Kortedala och Utby. Vi har köpt hus, himla najs!
Men vad kul att du ska bli pappa, grattis Jonatan!
