What an enormous magnifier is tradition! How a thing grows in the human memory and in the human imagination, when love, worship, and all that lies in the human heart, is there to encourage it
Thomas Carlyle

I always wanted to be a farmer. There is a tradition of that in my family. I`m a bit of a nerd, I wouldn`t mind working in a shop like 12 Tónar selling records, or having a radio show where I could play obscure singles. I would also like to teach music. I...
