Hey Patrons! (Very Cool Edition)

I think you can 🙄

Annelies

Hej Joel! Q: what is your personal top 3 in music this year? Which songs / albums, artists (especially new musical acts) or producers gave you the most joy and fun? Which of them made you - maybe - feel a little bit jealous….? 🙃 Anyway, I still find So Selfish my absolutely No. 1 this year, and I’m very very curious about Selfish 2.0 version. Have a great weekend!

Franceska

I cook rice and pasta the old-fashioned way, boil the water add rice/pasta, put a timer on.. I think it's simple enough, so that I don't need extra gadget to do it 😆 But then again, maybe if I would try out the the rice cooker and it would taste a lot better somehow...🤔

When Spotify wrapped up my year and told me my top 5 artists, I realized that all the artists that were there with u, were artists that u had either recommended or mentioned somehow on ur videos. And that made me wonder.. Q: How and where do you find new good songs to fill your playlists? Do u come across with them by accident, u search for something certain or do u have ur own "Roomie" to get recommendations from 😁

JustSomeJK

Hi Joel, I hope you’re doing well today!! Q: Are you going to release the new remastered version of “So Selfish”?! Please don’t take down the current version !! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Instead have both versions available. Another Q: How will the voting thing work?! Are you going to stream these videos on Twitch or do a Livestream on YouTube and have voting polls in the LiveChat?!

Melissa Rogers

Q: very curious and excited over the classes. How in depth have you delved into either writing or theory? Have instead only decided one or the other? I have a rice cooker, I spent $35. Never used microwave, had used stove top but the cooker is easier. Don't need a fancy one, just one with a timer. Rinse the rice thrice and leave an inch above the level of rice in cook bowl, place in cooker depress timer, close the lid, and walk away. I have an ex in-law that is naturalized Japanese. She taught me only that much. I had to do a lot of compliments to get that much from her. She kept saying she already taught her daughter and wasn't going to teach me anything. So, I got what I got and it's all good. ✌️✌️😘😘😘

Gayle

Just boil water and leave it to simmer/absorb? That's how I do it. I don't have a rice cooker

Lianne Conroy

My youngest likes to nibble on uncooked spaghetti, I'm always finding odd buts of dty pasta around the house 😂 But in all seriousness- does anyone here actually just cook rice on the hob/stove top the normal way?? X

Hayley

Jen.. big hugs for you. I'm sorry I can only comfort you with words. Hope your days get better soon. 🫂

This was such a fun and interesting update, great to get your thoughts on awards, producers and, surprisingly also the air fryers! Been thinking of buying one 😊. Can’t wait for the upcoming videos! Q: did you ever take part in a luciatåg when you were young?

Brandt

Unfortunately, I rarely get to nap and I just get overwhelmed and overstimulated instead 😎🤦🏻‍♀️

Jen 🦙

Aahh.. K.O. after 4th cup. Lolol. My intake is 2 cups max on weekdays only. I can't sleep anything more than that.

I genuinely want a cooking series so badly! 😅 Also, I’d love to see his skincare and haircare routines as well because I need to hair that fluffy and want to look that youthful again!

Jen 🦙

I love how you’ve asked Joel a question and essentially told him he doesn’t really have a choice Natalie, I’m here for this level of playful chaotic gaslighting! 🤣🤣👏🏻

Jen 🦙

As a kid I would chew on 1 or 2 pieces while the rest was cooking. But not just bite into the whole stack like he did.

Lianne Conroy

🤣🤣🤣🤣

But it would have to include the lyrics! Because all that stuff - the story, the emotions, the associations - is part of the music. Sometimes when musicians say ‘music’ when they’re describing a much narrower part of the music, like theory or harmony, it makes people feel more clueless about music than they actually are. I’ll get off my crazy soapbox. 👹 I just feel like many people are way smarter about music than they give themselves credit for!

emy

That would be so interesting to see! Just analyzing your top 10 favourite songs and figuring out what makes you tick. Or like… discovering your musical formula 🧪 I mean I know it wouldn’t be that straightforward, but it would be fun as like a Buzzfeed quiz. 👀

emy

It’s honestly wild Aslyn 😅 I’m fine with coffee drinks of the same strength but with mixers, just not black coffee 🥴 Thank you for being thoughtful and reminding me to be careful, my coffee intake is anywhere between 2 and 5 depending on how much I need to focus and mask and after number 4 I really feel my body telling me to nap 🙃

Jen 🦙

Oh dear boi, at the risk of sounding like a on overbearing mum who works in an Opticians (oh, wait, that's actually what I am and what I do!) get yourself some hydrating eye drops, take regular breaks from your screen(s) make sure you're drinking enough water and get some sleeeeeep! (Oh, and if you wear contact lenses take a break from them at least once a week and stick your glasses on 🤓) Now, Q: Do you have any weird and wonderful Christmas traditions? Either Swedish traditions or just Berghult family traditions? X

Hayley

I kinda hope he cooks pasta in general, so that he doesn't eat raw pasta 😅😂

JustSomeJK

I agree 😊(naturally, 'cos I'm a music theory dumb dumb 😂) But yeah it's really fascinating how people experience different songs and what feelings or memories music brings. Sometimes I have been wondering what someone who knows the theory side of music would say about my playlist of liked songs, if there is some certain chords, beats, melodies that occur in most of them, some common nominator that I don't know about. It would also be interesting to hear therapist's opinion about the lyric content of the playlist 😅😂

JustSomeJK

You can’t do that, right? Right??

Adina

Q: we give you a hard time about the microwave rice, and oatmeal, but how do you cook pasta? I swear if it's in the microwave I quit!

Lianne Conroy

Q: I love the songs on your channel and the catchy melodies. Do you think about going back to them or having the melodies as a reference? I listen to the songs on youtube and keep doing so if not.

Nina L

Q: Other than the places you have lived what other cities have you visited and impressed you? I just got back from Rome, and I’m always amazed how beautiful Italy is, I will always recommend anyone to visit Italy, any part of it is worth the travel there.

Adina

Q: There's a UK songwriter/dj/producer called "220kid" (if you don't know him already you can find him on insta and spotify) who recently moved to LA; would you be interested in doing a collab with someone like him? I met him in a concert queue for an artist whom he had written a song for, and he seemed both very down to earth while also very flamboyant and creatively ambitious, and I think you two could make really interesting stuff together (perhaps a video documenting the birth of a song?).

Sofie G

Talking about how a song makes you feel, or what it’s about, or what it says… To me that’s what “talking about music” means. You don’t need to know about chords to be able to access big musical things. Even if you’ve never had a music lesson in your life, you can probably still do a good job of describing your favourite song, what it reminds you of, how you feel when it comes on. I think that’s really important.

emy

Maybe you need to adjust. My local cafe has closed down a year ago and I recalled the baristas there always asked if I'm having the first or second cup of the day. I'm guessing they adjusted the espresso shots accordingly. A few of my colleagues are developing heart palpitations because they've been drinking like 5 to 6 cups in a day for many years. So please be careful, Jen.

♠️ Aslyn Jobry ♠️

Thanks so much for the update!!🙂 Yes I definitely agree about awards I remember being so surprised when even The Weeknd didn’t get a Grammy nomination for Blinding Lights. Q: I was wondering how often do you practice vocal exercises? Is it something you try to do daily?

Miriam

Q: I think you misunderstood what I was asking when I asked about Jax in the parade…she performed in the parade and I wondered if you saw her. I love her

Patti

Oh Joel just get a Chinese/cheap rice cooker, I promise they're all the same 😆Q: What's you're favourite thing to do when in Sweden? Apart from family time, of course.

Mona

Doubling down on the microwaved rice, huh? 🤔 Interesting choice 😏😂 Q: Who do think went more ham, Elton John on the lion king soundtrack, or Phil Collins on the Tarzan soundtrack? 🤔🤔 (Phil Collins is the only acceptable answer 🤭😂)

Nataliekey

I'm probably going to sound like an ass kissing teacher's pet for a minute here (I'll make up for it with some friendly bullying at some point)...I really just want to see/hear what YOU WANT to make. I prefer the art over "content". Call me crazy, but I like seeing the amazing, creative stuff this Roomie guy does on his MUSIC 🎶 channel. 🤪😜 Also, he has good cooking tips. So, there's that. 😏😑

Dannielle O'Neill

I thought I'm overanalysing. I'm sad and hesitant to say... your observation is spot on.

♠️ Aslyn Jobry ♠️

He was very twitchy in this one. I think it's been getting a little more in each of the last few videos. Usually seems much more comfortable.

Lianne Conroy

I don't know why but I feel nervous watching you in this vid... I hope you're okay. I used to watch music awards shows in the past especially during school days. My friends/classmates would discuss our yays, boos and mehs about the outcome and performances. Not that the winners don't deserve the awards but I also felt some artistes haven't been properly recognised for their talent yet. I've always wondered how the judging criteria for nominees and winners comes about. I just gave up on the mystery (and frustrations) and decided to only watch when I have the mood. Q: What type of song (topic or genre) are you planning to do with your dad? 💜 Thank you so much for this update, sweet boi. Till then, please take care and rest well~~💜💜

♠️ Aslyn Jobry ♠️

Q: how has (if anything) things (eating, singing) been different since having your wisdom teeth out?

Stephanie Bruso

Yay hey patrons video 🙂 Just came home from a concert and this was a really nice surprise! Thanks for answering my question 😊 That video with 3 songs and u talking etc sounds really interesting! Can't wait to see it 🙂 So Selfish is so good already that I wonder what else can u do more 😁 But more versions the merrier 🎶🥰 U speaking in English with Rikard was surpring 🙂! Have a great weekend, hopefully u will get to relax as well 😊💙 And yes, I will come back with the question later again, 'cos now I'm too tired to come up with anything decent 😅

JustSomeJK

Q: what kinda stuff do you have planned for 2024?

Kayla Jones

Thanks for the update Joel, hope you’re taking some time for yourself after working last weekend 😊 Q: How did you get used to the taste of black coffee and have you ever gotten any side effects from it? I’m struggling to adjust and it makes me nauseous a lot of the time so I think I might be using too high a strength 😅
