Mikael’s a vinyl fanatic. He will, for example, collect multiple copies of the same record. I think he’s got about twelve copies of The White Album. They’re all numbered; the lowest number I think he’s got is, like, 500 or something. He’s a true collector in that sense. … I think he must have thousand and thousands of records now, whereas with vinyl, I’ve only got a couple thousand. I don’t know how many he’s got. Maybe he doesn’t even know how many he’s got.

Swedish progressive metallers OPETH were forced to cancel their performance last night (Monday, May 7) at The Myth in Maplewood, Minnesota after the band’s guitarist/vocalist Mikael Åkerfeldt was rushed to the hospital to receive treatment for a cut on his head.
Mikael has now posted the following message on OPETH’s officialFacebook page:
“Hi guys! I’m writing from beyond the grave.
“Seriously, I was not in a car crash and I haven’t broken my arm. All that happened is I hit my head in MASTODON’s tour bus as I was getting a new pair of (red) underwear out from my suitcase.
“Wish the story was more rock and roll, believe me.
“Anyways, I split my head open down to the skullbone and had to be taken to the emergency. They gave me a bunch of shots in the wound, cleaned me up and stapled my head shut with 8 metal staples. Head is sore and if I smile it feels like the wound is gonna burst open again, but I’ll be on stage by tomorrow again.
“I feel extremely disappointed that we couldn’t play at The Myth in Minneapolis, but paramedics told me I couldn’t. We will reschedule the show for our next trip to the USA. So all rumors of me being in a car crash are false. I did crash my head into a car, though, well… a bus, really.
“Sorry for disappointing our fans in Minneapolis but I hope you understand. See you next time.”

Dude, this sucks. Especially for people in Minnesota.
Åkerfeldt was hospitalised with a broken arm, and is receiving treatment after the accident, of which details are unknown.
Mikael, apart from his broken arm, only suffered minor injuries.
Opeth had to cancel their stop in Minnesota; Mastodon and Ghost played extended sets to make up for it, which is understandable.
Get well soon, Mikael.

Mikael: “We didn’t want to call it, like, the Wilson Akerfeldt Project… or, [as] it would have been, the Akerfeldt Wilson Project.”
Steven: “Well, WAP is definitely better than AWP, isn’t it?”
Mikael: “…’wap’? But that sounds…”
Steven: “Well how does ‘awp’ sound? That sounds like a noise that you make like you’re clearing your throat.”
Mikael: “It sounds Dutch. ‘Wap’ — isn’t that the word, for, like… you ‘wap’ on your…”
Steven: “Well, you might.”

In case you were wondering how to inform someone how far superior you are to them with a single look I think this constitutes as a great example

Storm Corrosion | Storm Corrosion
The majority of this title track is probably one of the best sections of the entire record, I think. I know listening to new music straight through illegal YouTube posts isn’t the best thing in the world but hhh if you’re not being pure about only listening to this in high quality or waiting until you get your physical copy you really need to check this out seriously
