My oh my...

...Ive been unable to access this blog for a few days, untill I tried to republish the entire blog; and ¤-vips!¤ its working again...

-Help, Ive got this itch in my fingers! wheres my blog!?!

Well, yesterday was kind of weird; starting out by waking up too early, wasting alot of time on rome-total war/total reality, and after washing clothes at work I ended up with Ronny, a photgrapher (ill give you the link if hes got one, saw his portofolio last night; awesome!) friend of Espen, on the Chicks on speed (here with "we dont play guitars") concert at blå. Was fun to be back again meeting all the people I used to work with, but havent seen in yonks... The concert was great too:)

Some other music for the day; Cloud cult`s "princess bride" & "as long as youre happy" from their "aurora borealis" album(2004). Heres "state of the union" as well, Cloud cults comment on the current american politics. its from the same album. While we're at anti-americanism you should check out protest records homepage, alot of crappy song but a handful good ones, totally free:) Pedro the lion also had something to say about the current us policies; "political science" from the latest "tour ep". Also found lots of nice bands today, and its not even noon yet:) Among these were this nice rock band; Calla. Here with their "strangler" from "televise", and dont miss the amazing pilots with "I dont know where you are" from "hello my captor". Mobius band with "you are wrong" from "the loving sound of static". Mark Lanegan`s "cant come down" from the "bubblegum" album. I also got my hands on this one; Anita lane's "sex o'clock". "The petrol wife" is grand, and "the next man that I see"... Plus the first "bella ciao"-version I liked since I was a small kid and my mom took me to all these communist gatherings she frequently attended. After finding all this grand stuff, I discovered that Maria Taylor of Azure ray ("these white lights will bend to make blue") has made a solo-album; "11.11". Here she is with "nature song", her voice is just perfect for a rainy day inside the head. After that I even found out that Orenda fink, marias co singer from azure ray, also came with a solo project; "Invisible ones". Its more rockish than taylor's album, but her voice is also outstanding. Here with "miracle worker". As this got me into Azure ray mode; ill give ya "new resolution"(TPSmix) from the "new resolution ep" & "while Im still young" from "burn and shine".

From todays media I found this:o These scientist ought to stuff their money up somewhere!

Sad news though; Emil's snickarboa has been burned to the ground. For those who dont know him; Emil is the figure from Astrid Lindgrens books. Shes also the author of pippi longstockings. Emil is a little kid who does alot of mischief and cool pranks to entertain himself to his suroundings (mainly his father) great annoyance(dont know if this is a word, but you get the message...). Anyhow, the snickarboa is the place he can lock himself inside, to hide from his fathers anger. Sadly someone decided to let it go up in smoke:(

Saw "orwell rolls in his grave" yesterday. Spooky stuff about the media, and its effect on politics in the us. Michael Moore had this really good statement that was something like this; ...we have a system that spends 99% of its energy and its money to serve the 1% richest persons in this country. Still you go round waveing your flags -we are free!-we are free! Whats wrong with you guys!?!" They also had some interesting points on the future of the internet... A must-see!


Later tonight Im working; its this "lucky strike-party"(!). Think its gonna be hellish, fucking commercial event with everything for free; free cigarettes, free bar, free promo-stuff, and free polluting your mind with our-brand-is-the-best-crap as they realease the original soft package. Perhaps we'll get some too... Anyhow, this may go two ways with the tip; 1) damned lousy as people dont bring their valuts to the bar...2) really good as people dont pay for anything else... Hopefully the latter... The Only cash I got is 1,- coins spread across the floor along with bottle caps, marbles, buttons etc(I aquired a new slingshot...) and some bottles for refund...

I downloaded this movie from piratbay... Its supposed to be a ghost of a little girl in there, but I cant see it... Ive tried over and over to get a glimpse, but I cant seem to fetch what this guy is so afraid of... Where the heck is it?

Damned I could...

...not sleep anylonger, even if Im insanely drowsy. Perhaps I slept to much yesterday, as I didnt get out of bed the entire day. So the day was spend in front of the computer, watching two hole seasons of simpsons, re-encoutered blade runner and barfly, and saw a weird "documentary" about ghost and encounters with these... Lazy day off:)


On monday the far right politicians from the so-called"democrats" got chased away from a central square in Oslo. After cutting the cable to their sound system, the parti-leader got bombed with eggs, and chased away under high yells "no racists on our streets!"

Vidar Kleppes party is extreemly hostile towards immigrants, especially non-western. Their latest absurd statement was that the government should uphold our home defence army (its a volunteer part of the military, where the soldiers keeps machineguns at home in case of war... ) to prevent an islamic invasion of norway wich they claim is going on. They are against rights for homosexuals, against abortion, extreemly pro-Israel (this is the weirdest statement as many of the partymembers have pasts from different nazi groups in norway...), and pro increased police budgets as a sollution to almost all problems in community.

In the last post, dcver, commented that he was against banning neo-nazis from demonstrating or take away their freedom of speech. To that I agree, I dont think laws will do anything good to the struggle against nazism or racism. I believe that people should use direct action and civil disobediance to chase these bastards from the streets. No one is satisfied in a community where right wing assaults and harassment becomes an everyday part of our lives. Neo nazis represents a constant threath to immigrants, homosexuals and different minded people, and then I think taking action for each other as individuals, and groups, to chase them away by any means necesary, is the only sollution.

Anyway, no music for today as theres some problems with uploading, but I got some for you later:) Gotta get more cofee and a shower. Working double again... I really need to hit them lottery numbers big time...

Well, the...

...brazilian guy who got executed on stocwell was not considered a threat... Its really sad, if its this guys responsibility to stop when the police wants him, they should be damned responsible themselves in both the situation, and the aftermath. Probably itll wind up with a inconclusive investigation, and/or some poor scapegoats head on a platter...


Court in france is trying to shut down paris IMC. It would be to much for a democratic community to have all these political activists useing open publishing, speaking their mind without the sencorship of mainstream media. Or not to speak of the fact that people are able to tell the stories in their own words, not competing the lies of police, beraucrats and politicians...


The annual nazi-march in rememberance of Ruculph Hess, was banned this year. The Neo-nazis then arranged a protest march against the bann, but "only" about 2000 showed up, last year there were several thousand. Other manifestations have been arranged in kolding(denmark), stockholm, magdeburg and several other places around europe.

Else here is a taste from the coming death cab for cutie album "plans". Release date is 30th of august. On my stereo at the moment is lenola with their "white lined knuckle landing", I also dug out this depeche mode cover from the tribute album "music for the masses"; heres failure with "enjoy the silence". Enjoy.

The stupidest...

...thing ever! Just watched this (click the film from norway) movie on euronews. What the fuck is wrong with people:D

Just hanging out...

...in my bunker. Been here since I got home from work on wednesday, not moving a toenail outside. Think that was about time as I discovered some new muscles and nervestrings that constantly appears to get familiar with this not that tired and exhausted me. Was supposed to cean up this dunghole, go to the laundry and visit mathias yesterday, but I ended up with a cracked version of anno 1503, a season of seinfeld(and to my grand surprise it was kind of funny:o...I used to hate that series...), and ended up falling asleep watching "fantastic four". Which was not very good either... Rasputinas "watch tv" ought to fit now. Funny how managing boredom is easy when you are really tired...

-Me, just hanging out...

Some more songs for the day is my bloody valentine with their "off your face" from the glider ep and "when you sleep" and "soon" from loveless. I just keep coming back to that band. I also found an instrumental ep ive never heard before so heres "instrumental A".

Heres also two songs from pit er pats shakey album; "scared sorry" & "cake peg". I love the weird lyrics and twisted sound:)

As for the outside world british homesecretary states that there is no such thing as total security. And that an attack on main financial institutions are inevitable. Welcome to the world! If the main focus in western politics had been equality and fair sharing of resources, as they claim, and not to fuck less powerful/poorer people over to earn money and keep this present status quo up and running, it probably wouldnt be that many people finding it desireable to blow up themselves, or others for that matter....

Also I found this on the web, hmmm. I got this very same logo on my sweather;

-Shoulder of my hood...

Hehe... Perhaps wear it next time I go to germany. (Last time I was there I just sat on a bus from prague to oslo with my girlfriend and the bus got raided twice by police armed with machineguns, last time they only wanted to talk to me, and see my passport to "ensure" that I was still on the bus and not had got of inside germany... I feel so safe with these new surveilance systems!) The logo is from an argentinian direct action group called yomango. They did some really nice actions in argentina against companies earning money on the economic collapse a few years ago...

Well, enough bloging for today, got to clean up myself and the mess I produced for the last two weeks....

Totally drained...

...and trying to drink myself tired after work. Work was ok and the tip also, but alot of morrons in the clientel; perhaps it has become a too common place... Anyhow I met the very eager girl from friday again:) She looks abit puzzled and says:
-I saw you at the festival.
-uh.... I uttered.
-I just noticed you. She says. Hmmm... Its obvious she doesnt remeber friday, so I say
-yeah I noticed you too; ripping my piercing off in an attempt to strangle me with your tounge...
-what...?
-yeah you were here on friday after øya. I state, and grin wickedly...
-dont you remember? She turns completely pale and stares away, while her girlfriend gets stars in her eyes, waiting for some intrigueing updates.
Ten minutes after they are both gone:) While me and Johnny gets extra gasoline on the fire we alreaddy lit up for all our "guests", as we cant stop laughing at them or insulting them in the evilest manners behind their backs. Evil, wicked bartenders:D You should all go places yould be accepted, appreciated and entertained!!!

Music for the moment is sianspheric with their song "I like the ride" from their somnium album. Music fit to try to get tired to... Abit red house painters-ish...(it seemed to slip under cat power...consider that a beginners mistake...)

Well, so much for my four days off; I have to get up at one to go to work again... Thats two days freetime working. Hopefully things will get better when the summer is gone...

Woohaa...

...well, after your request, dcver, im now audiobloging:) So from now on youre able to hear the songs I talk so much about. Got the day off, so I had some time to find out how to do it... Its pretty weird, I have the whole week untill saturday off. So theres alot of cleaning to do; I havent even picked up a sock since two weeks... Ill try to edit the previous posts so the songs Ive recomended will be available to, and to perhaps refer to songs more often:)

Well first song off must be "Selinas melody fountain" from the serena maneesh promo I got yesterday. Think the album will be out in septemer/october, if im not remembering quite wrong....

Damned, I have to work tonight as well. One good thing except for the money is the laundry opportunity...

Anyhow heres a list of songs ive written about in earlier posts;

Last night...

...was pretty calm at work, but it got abit late, so Ive just got up from bed and is supposed to be at work in 1,5hours... Theres a bigbang concert tonight so theres gonna be crowded, stuffed with musicindustrypeopleandhangarounds... Tip will hopefully get high rate. And I could use some of that now.

Else ive did this horoscope thing, im turning really superstitious as ive had three wierd dreams in a row, at one time I puked blood at mir, wich at the same time was a healthcare centre, the next day I ran around naked in the offices of an insurance company were I also lived, this night I dreamed that my entire head felt weird, then I started to bleed from my nose, till eventually blood poured out from my eyes. Then it suddenly stopped and I cleaned up the mess and woke up... Anyhow heres what the horoscope says;

How You Approach Life and How You Appear To Others
You are very strong-willed and proud, but intensely private and not easy to know well. Behind your quiet exterior lies a great deal of emotional depth, sensitivity, complexity, and also fierce determination. When you want something you go after it rather quietly but insistently and wholeheartedly - and you usually get it.

The Inner You: Your Real Motivation
Proud and intensely individual, you really want to stand out, to be the very best you can be, and to be recognized and appreciated for your unique contributions. Doing something well and being respected for it is extremely important to you, and you cannot tolerate being in the background, taking orders from others, or being "just one of the team". You must put your personal stamp on whatever you do, and direct your own course in life. You need to have a place where you can shine, express yourself creatively, and be the one in charge.

Well that solved everything, and Im really enlightened... Hmmm... perhaps Ill try tarot decks nexttime, or runes, or a hand scan, or...

think this is it for mystical shit!

Goddamitt...

...I managed to oversleep the datarock concert. So I decided to drop the festival today for two resons; 1. Im dead broke 2. Im working tonight 3. I dont want to meet people... Damn, theres alot of reasons; anyway, the conclusion is no festival today...

-Someone`s looking tipsy... Wooha!!

Yesterdays festival turned out swell... I didnt manage to get out untill six, but I managed to see satyricon, wich I havent seen since we were like sixteen and rehearsed at the same studio, and went to the same school. I find the music somewhat boring, but its been a long time since I was into metal. After satyricon we went to see saul williams. Of some stupid reason he was playing on the smallest stage so it got too crowded... The sound and the experience itself was much better at Blå earlier this spring... Sonic youth delivered all they could!! It was really great:D
They started out with "golden blue", as they did on roskilde, and continued with songs from the last two albums for the first half. Then they turned over to older material, and was joined by jim o`rourke and mats gustafsson. The hole thing ended in a huge breathtaking wave of guitar and noise. Sonic youth at their best!!!

After we went to møllers, as it was impossible to get in somewhere else, and had a few beers. As our group became smaller and smaller as people left for home, me and anders decided to hit mono and went for a "last" beer there. As anders managed to stick to this plan, I got stuck and too drunk, and even had to run away from this extreemely insistant chick who wanted to carry me home. Its really scary when girls just come over, sticks her tounge in your mouth and says -Come here! without even introducing themselves. When I try to explain this she answered;
-I saw you at the festival.
-oh, cool, when was that? I ask trying to reach out my hand to introduce myself. Then she tries to choke me with her tounge, me up against a corner.
-hey, Ive got a girlfriend, I cant do this... I lie, trying to sqeeze myself from the trap
-well, I dont care, she says, and tries to hold me close by grabbing my nosering and drag me to her for another kiss. Suddenly the piercing slips and she holds it staring acusingly at me
-Ha, its fake you coward! She utters. I snap the ring from her fingers, and starts putting it back on
-Hehe, its not! I defend myself. With the piercing back on she tries to kiss me again, but then I see a clearing in the crowd and sofie(a girl I work with) standing in the other end, so I quickly jump away and head right to her. safe! After that I didnt see the girl again... I dont know why, but I think its spooky when girls (guys too, I think...) approach me like that. In some weird way I seem to attract this approach; it has happened several times before. One case was this girl I met who stated;
-you are just like me! I am sleeping at your place, just as you know! Then I ended up too drunk, and she carrying me home to my place, where she stayed for three days, not seem to care if I went to work or not... Another time a girl was accusing me of being gay, as I denied this we started talking, after a while I go to the toilet. When Im done shes waiting outside pushing me back in. In one way I like this femme fatal approach, but when it gets too weird (like when she dont wanna know your name, or tries to jump you on a filthy public urinal...) I turn into this total getthehelloutofthis mode...

Enough of that; In the outside world bush says he will not outrule miltary action against Iran. This is not the first time. The most scary part is that Iran is just inbetween Afghanistan and Iraq, wich is "controled" by us troops. I find it very spooky that usa, with friends, might control the entire area in the name of socalled freedom and democracy. What happens after that? Syria? Then they would "control" the entire region from the mediteranian to pakistan. One clever guy said in the middle of the nineteenth century that he who controls central asia controls the world. Well, its not very far away. With the war on terror as an excuse, us have pushed the region into either friendly or evil. They use their friends to build military facilities in exchange for trade agreements, also supercorrupt and oppressive regimes. Their evil neighbours is then invaded and occupied, with grand us corporations on contract, even before an interim government is on foot. This is an economical venture, and not defence of the us borders. It really makes me sick...

Some music for the day is Pinback with fortress from their "summer in abaddon" album, and of course everything of sonic youth...

Else some happy news; Scott Levine, grand spammer, has been convicted and is facing up to 640years in prison... I couldnt find it now, but I read an article about this other spammer who got caught and charged. He stated in the court that he didnt find any wrong in spaming people. People, sick and tired of being spamed, started this internet campaign wich purpose was to spam this guy in real life. The home address was spread across the net, and people started to order things by mail in this weasels name. This ended up with three daily dumpsters in his garden full of letters, brocheurs, and lots of crap no one wants. After awhile the postal service denied to deliver anymore mail to the guy at all. Imagine this guy tries to find his electricity bill, phone bill, or his moms annual christmas card...

Sad news though is that the brazilian bankrobbers got caught:(

I`ve...

..seen Dinosaur jr. AND sonic youth at the same time on stage!!!! Grand!! The Øya festival is on, and yesterday was perfect(except the weather...)!

-sound asleep....

I went there just in time to hook up with øyvind and grab a beer before serena maneesh entered the stage. Even with too few people and too much falling water they managed to deliver grand. And then the festival was saved! After that I saw cloroform, purified in blood, jr ewing, abit of fisherspooner, and then the mostwantedsinceIwas15-concert with dinosaur jr. They played only songs from the first three albums, wich I find the greatest... And suddenly in the middle of the concert sonic youth comes out and joins on a dinosaur song!!! aaaaaa!!! If I was a fourteen year old girl I would have died!!! After that I saw wolf parade and called it a draw and headed home for bed...

I felt asleep with no worries, but woke up at four o`clock only to find it immpossible to fall asleep again:( So I watched three episodes of a swedish series called "the grave", and then a documentary about bukowski, and then played freecell for about two hours... So now im really tired, and that sucks big time as Ive got a thight scedule today;

• 14.50; the thing
• 15.20; ane brun
• 16.45; diskaholics anomymous
• 18.15; death from above 1979
• 19.55; satyricon
• 20.35; saul williams
• 21.35; sonic youth
  

If Im still alive;

• 23.30; apples in stereo
• 00.01; silverbullit
• 00.30; el caco
• 01.15; king midas
  

Its gonna be tough, but awesome:) Ill try to stay away from smoking to much if that green stuff and eat properly today, and perhaps my nerves wont be that fringed up tomorrow night....

Bad news in the mail though; I got a letter that states im supposed to pay 158746,08NOK (20125,94EUR) before the 29th of august... Yeah right! Go stuff that somewhere dark and nasty! Its obviously what I owe the state from studying, and now they want to take my stuff to cover the expenses they claim to "lack"... Too bad for them I havent got shit:P So this attempt to sue the ass of me will get them nowhere; ive been through it before. Last attempt (they actually threatned to sell all my brothers stuff!) they discovered that I dont have a registrered home address and had to cancel the hole thing... But ill have to have those hellish quarrels with those evil wicked bureaucrats....

Ill have to get myself a mailbox at the postoffice to get my brother off the hook.....

gto my scanner....

...up and running, and found a really nice pic off mself as a drunk housewife, damn Im gorgeous!!

-my female personality in bloom....

Went to meet øyvind yesterday, and went for a few beers on this local place called waldemars. Cheap beer(the only place near here), and not very good, but very expencive pizza. Dont think I will be a frequent face around there... Bad music to:o

Great thing though; I got this phone from my boss telling me I got a free daycard on saturdays øya-festival! Then I got three days covered:) And I discoverd that my newfound love, serena maneesh, is playing on thursday!!! Dinosaur jr., with the originalcrew, also plays thursday! Sonic youth on friday!! I have to work both friday and saturday, but ill manage to see sonic youth and golike hell on my bike back to work... Then my friend ketil and datarock is playing on saturday.
Im supposed to be the doorman on saturday, and I dont look forward to it; its gonna be hellish with the probably too drunk festival crowd...

Else I discovered this in todays media; Im soooo jealous!! Hopefully they might be like robin hood, and I am very poor.... gimme, gimme, gimme!!!

Later tonight Im at work and then Im opening tomorrow; gonna be tough to get up... Better be careful with nachspiel after work... I was planning a meeting with sakari to discuss what the new NAG-pages was supposed to be like, but Ill guess its gonna have to wait till next week. Im so good at delaying things. On the other hand Ive got alot of things to do tomorrow every day:)

Last night was....

...fantastic! Serena Maneesh invited to a closed concert at last train and delivered GRAND! Cant wait until I get hold of their record!!! And for me (and el capitane) complaining about the lack of norwegian indie/noise band; fuck off! This concert was the best this year, even better than sonic youths hit parade at roskilde!!!

-I want to settle down and live happily ever after on a serena mareesh concert...

The place was stuffed to the brim, but I managed to get a place on top of the bar(!) and had perfect vision. Some people complained that the sound was too loud, while others stuffed small glow-in-the-dark thingeys in their ears; fuck that!! I dont need ears after this!!!

After the concert I went for a beer at Mono, but too amazed and disapointed in the greyness of the world(greyness=lack of assembly to a Serena Maneesh concert...) I decided to head home and finish Neil Gaimans stardust. Wich prooved to be a very good idea...

On saturday I went to Garage with Tommy and met up with Marie for a few beers. As we were totally drained for energy the beer went down really slow. After that I met Mathias, and we ended up on a nachspiel at my place drinking vinegar-flavoured wine(-yuck!) untill dawn.

Mista work-too-much...

...have been around the last two weeks:( At least this last one... On thursday I was at work from twelve in the morning until six the next morning! Not a thing I would like to repeat..

This weeks concerts have been james blunt, junip, mao and dee rangers with mobsmen. Monday was James Blunt; I was opening at mono and it got relly crowded as the artist was hyped overdimensionally by britsh media as he topped both charts in the uk. The music wasnt bad, but nothing really noteworthy either. Just plain singer-song writer thingey...

Tuesday I had the day off, but ended eventually twice at work in need of cigarettes(I forgot to pay the first time...)

On wednesday I worked double, first opening the bar, then as bandcontact. The band was really great, Junip that is, and had a fabulous version of bruce springsteens "ghost of tom joad". The drummer had a fanatastic style adding noise to what otherwise could have been pretty boring stuff, and with great succsess as this made it a really exciting experience. Not very far from the red house painters...

Pretty hung over after wednesday, I overslept(only ten mins...) thursday morning. I was supposed to be at work helping Mao out as band contact at twelve but woke up 11.45. After a panic-get-up-and-the-hell-out waking I managed to be at mono ten past twelve. The band was cool, happy happy joy joy country, but not entirely my style. They left the audience with huge grinns after two extrashows. After that the place was totally crowded, and I had to get in and help out at the back door. I dont know, but its not very reasuring when the people who watch the door is pretty drunk, and still drinking(I got free beer for helping out...). Then it was suddenly closing hour and I had to help out closing as well... After the shift(about five) we had the last beer, and I decided to give away my alarmclock to sofie. That ugly yellow noisey bastard shall never-ever bother me again!!! So long sucker!!!

Yesterday I was working at the cover. Dee ranger(pretty boring garage rock band from sweden) was playing, with mobsmen(the surf rock band of petter our sound technician) as support. Very loud and not great... My ex-girlfriend and her sister showed up in the middle of the concert, which was pretty nice as she wasnt acting totally weird this time. After work and a beer with them I went home, or at least tried to. On seven-elleven I met tage, sverre and miskas brother, and the trip went to blå. There I met like ten thousand familiar faces and stayed untill closing hours. Today is doing nothing-except-win-the-lottery-day....
