My Name Is Earl

Just wanted to share a quick recommendation. There was this TV-series a few years back called My Name Is Earl. I think it was aired on Fox, but I'm not sure since I don't live in the US and we don't have Fox in Sweden so. Anyway, it's a comedy lasting four seasons about a guy called Earl, of course. Earl is an around-30 guy who's a low-time criminal, mainly stealing stuff. His life sucks and bad things happens to him, so one day he gets hit by a car and discovers karma. This makes him turn his life over completely. He makes a list of everything bad he's ever done and starts to make-up for all his mistakes.

It's often very hilarious when he meets the different people who he's harmed in some way, often kinda silly too. He's got a brother called Randy which is really stupid, but funny as hell. That guy just cracks you up totally. If you don't laugh at him, you sure are a sad motherfucker born without any humour. I've watched it since it aired back in '05, I think? I've had a lot of fun moments watching it and this series lies close to my heart. It's so warming in some way and I think Earl is a really cool dude. He's a rocker, I guess. At least he listens to AC/DC, Lynyrd and that stuff, and he looks like a stoner. That's good enough for me. It's a look I could go with.

Try it out if you already haven't! My Name Is Earl is awesome!

About this blog:

Welcome to Devacron, estimated 2011.

This is my place where I occassionally aggrevate and write about stuff I like, mostly about music or video games. I am a huge fan of metal music (primarily) and totally non-elitist, i.e. an open-minded metal music listener. I also particularly like electronic/synth/ambient music as well as some other styles.

I have a strange obsession with the 1980's and that's something I've had since I was a kid. Born in 1990, I perfectly missed out on the entire decade. As a kid I simply enjoyed lots of 80's movies and the soundtracks. Think Robocop, Terminator and cheesy 80's music as well as rock anthems. I loved it!

In 2002 I got interested in music and 80's heavy metal was my one great love from the get-go. I grew up with very young parents, both of whom were teenage metalheads in the 80's. Safe to say, they nutured me with the greatest kind of music ever made.

Other interests range from movies to video games to motorcycles. I like a lot of sci-fi movies but also fantasy. Whatever is like an adventure movie, I suppose. I've also been a gamer all my life, starting off on Sega Megadrive and NES as a small kid. These days I rock the PS4 and PC gaming.

I'm also a musician. I was in a (mixed) metal band called Devastation (Sweden) for ten years, playing drums and doing backing vocals (mostly death metal growling). The band renamed itself Into The Pentagram in 2014 and became more of a pure death/black metal band.
