Test patterns of yesteryear for Sweden’s public broadcasting system. I can’t remember the last time I saw one on tv, which is kind of sad.
These are awesome,

Swartzwelder used to write episodes while sitting in a booth at a coffee shop “drinking copious amounts of coffee and smoking endless cigarettes”. When California passed an anti-smoking law, Swartzwelder bought the diner booth and installed it in his house, allowing him to continue his process in peace.

Henry Miller’s Writing Commandments
Henry Miller’s Writing Commandments
- Work on one thing at a time until finished.
- Start no more new books, add no more new material to “Black Spring.”
- Don’t be nervous. Work calmly, joyously, recklessly on whatever is in hand.
- Work according to Program and not according to mood. Stop at the appointed time!
- When you can’t create you can work.
- Cement a little every day, rather than add new fertilizers.
- Keep human! See people, go places, drink if you feel like it.
- Don’t be a draught-horse! Work with pleasure only.
- Discard the Program when you feel like it—but go back to it next day. Concentrate. Narrow down. Exclude.
- Forget the books you want to write. Think only of the book you are writing.
- Write first and always. Painting, music, friends, cinema, all these come afterwards.
You can apply this to pretty much anything. Which means it must be true.

Merkel and the Merkelette – Serious About Love
If there’s one thing that warms my heart more consistently than that faulty microwave I used to have, it’s the unending procession of holiday EPs released by The Merkelettes. Here is a fresh Valentine’s Day one.
This EP is a real gem. The merkelettes walk the line between reverence and tom foolery here, which I find to be the appropriate tone for today.
