Woohhaa!

Still alive and kicking, though somewhat less hard... To summarize last week; lots of work, lots of concerts, lots of beer, and less sleep.

Thursday 10th; Was working during the night, as French Kissers where playing, or rather trided to play agig, while monodelica was spinning the decks. Everything that could go wrong went straight to hell! Lots of incidents; thefts, people causing troble, the power went off after the band peformed three songs, and came back so the band could finish up with one more. Great band, Norwegian electronica in french:) After some fights, an old un veteran with total paranoia went postal, and some incident with one of our regulars, miss hellish had lost her purse. So we had to listen to her whineing for an hour after closing time... I fist helped her bloc her creditcard, cellphone, and the opportunity to get a cab. After that I told her that she ought to report it to the police in order to get the insurance money to get a new cellphone; Then, really polite, I told her that we needed to finish up work, as we didnt want to stay there the entire morning. This turned me into a hell of a cynical bastard with no empathy at all, and the other guys at work was even worse. God I love when beeing helpfull makes you the target of the violateds anger....

Friday 11th;Was working the entire night, wich actually past by pretty slack; the place was stuffed but no stress in the bar, and no, nada, nothing trouble:) We didnt even have to throw out anybody at all!!! The scottish band The Very was playing; it was perfect for the evening; staright forward punk rock at its best!

Saturday 12th;Woke up totally hung over, and managed to swap my shift. Totally happy and planning to win the lottery, I had to go to work myself not a million richer....

Sunday 13th; Elias Jung was playing, and the day started up pretty early as I was band contact. The guys from Tromsø, seemed pretty nice and the gig went smooth. Here they are with "silence, come please me" and "brother, you're dear" Nice evening, and I managed to do some "decent" drinking as well:)

Monday 14th; I was working as band contact for white lord jesus. The band was one of the first goth bands from norway, and consists of Tristan Christ (Arvid Skancke-Knutsen), one of our regulars, and Tognazzi (Thomas Robsahm). This was the first time the band has played live in 20 years, so after the longest soundcheck ever, the band delivered a great concert and managed to get a lot more people than expected. Karl Petter also came by to watch the show and have a few beers. Then we got haunted by two very annoying guys from the southern part of norway(aka the bible belt...shrug!). We managed to get pretty pissed, but I had to leave kp alone, as these guys got too annoying.... Sorry about that one:P

Tuesday 15th; was Delawares showcase for BMG. Some misscomunications resulted in some vile janitors furious anger upon my very person.... This ended up with threats of 25grand in fines for violating the agreement with the landlord (oh yeah, lets lynch him! He owns like half the town, and is not an ideal worker if you get the drift...). Things seemed to settle and everybody was eternally happy after the gig(at least throughout the evening...). Except for some janitor who didnt answer his phone...

Wednesday 16th; was pretty eventful, first I was opening the bar, then there was litterature evening with five authors, and then King Midas prez; this english berliner known as Casa electro nova, total entertainer; if he had been a tv-shop host Ild probably buy everything they had to offer.... Spooky but really fun:) After that I got abit tipsy, and managed somewhat to make out with blind-dategirl, again.... Not very clever I guess...

Thursday 17th; The unbelievable thing finally happened; A day off!!! I slept for hours, saw lots of futurama, and played wow, and banged my head against the wall with anxiety after the blind-dategirl incident...

Today, friday 18th; Started out with a wake up to a call from Øyvind, who is staying for the weekend:) Started to clean up some of the mess I made throughout the week... Shit, gotta do some laundry, cut my hair and shave, then it would probably be smart to toss myself in the washing machine as well.... Anyhow; working tonight, and then theres this Wolf parade gig at garage tomorrow:) Its gonna be swell! I also got a phone from work asking me to sit in the "Zoom 2006" jury in runars place for mono; you can listen to the finalists on this page:)

Dead as a duck!!!

Been really fucked up today. Øyvind came to town yesterday; had to end up insanely drunk on nachspiel at my place... Think I managed to swallow half a whinebottle after not managing to speak; so today has been serioulsy slack;

1. managed to use like three hours of moaning untill I actually got out of bed, while Øyvind sat online on wow..
2. read an e-mail, and answering some phone from christian about how fucked up I looked yesterday, and confirming that I actually was alive:)
3. Got a visit from Lasse Spang, wich was short but rather nice
4. taken this quiz about seduction abilities; wich turned out pretty good(at least for my ego today...)

   Your Seduction Style: Au Natural

   You rank up there with your seduction skills, though you might not know it. That's because you're a natural at seduction. You don't realize your power! The root of your natural seduction power: your innocence and optimism. You're the type of person who happily plays around and creates a unique little world. Little do you know that your personal paradise is so appealing that it sucks people in. You find joy in everything - so is it any surprise that people find joy in you? You bring back the inner child in everyone you meet with your sincere and spontaneous ways. Your childlike (but not childish) behavior also inspires others to care for you. As a result, those who you befriend and date tend to be incredibly loyal to you.

   What Kind of Seducer Are You?
   
   
5. now Im eating meat(!), and its pretty grose.... But it is totally necesary to get fit for tonights shift at work.... And Im not looking forward to that!

Last week have been rather eventful, On Friday I worked late, saturday was the most boring day ever; where the hell does all the nice people disappear and who the swaps them with the evil wicked weekend-crowd. Was all over the city, but there where noone I knew(or none I wanted to hang out with...), so I ended up with reading a book, and left for home pretty early. Sunday was better, as I went for a few beers back at work with Mathias, lots of familiar faces again... Børge even pointed me out as this girls dream-man; This was kind of funny cause I discovered, after Mathias had just explained how I would look in huge leather boots and a bikini, that they were laughing at me, but after the reason why they were giggeling became known it felt abit more comfy:)
Monday till today have been soaking. I havent seen the daylight, but insane amounts of bottle-bottoms, I even went on a shopping frenzy, and eaten almost nothing. Today I woke up with the crazy idea of having a "white"-month, but as the shape settled the month turned into a week, and now it have become a day.... Still not learning from my mistakes:)

Really tired...

...after some more meetings with bestfriend beer. Yesterday was a presentation of this years dugnad-festival. We saw pics from northern parts of uganda, where people have been living up to 12 years in refugee camps. After that girl from saskatoon played a very good concert followed by a pretty good one from napoo. Met Sakkari and played around with his homemade synthesizers, great geekish fun! Ended up at mono after that and cant remember walking home; again....

Anyhow found this nice album from "you say party! we say die!" Here with some "midnight snack". Well, gotta do laundry and repair yesterdays shape:)

been working...

...and working and working since thursday. Thursday eve was grand, totally stuffed and shitloads of tip:) Friday was nice and saturday was hellish; everything that could possibly ever go wrong went even worse... The evening was so fucked up that Im going to forget it, so no blathering or rumours for you! Sunday was swell:) I worked as band contact for the akron/family. The guys in the band were a dream to work with; really nice people and professional as hell. The concert was grand as they played relly great and almost for two hours. Got goosebumps all over several times. The live gig sounded like sonic youth meets low and joins forces with flaming lips:) Its doomed to be good!!! After the concert I got drunk with the band and some guys from work. Heres like an hour long session from WNYC studios, enjoy:) On monday I was opening the bar and working as band contact for vishnu, a pretty good rock band from Tromsø(northern norway). The evening turned out great as the akron/familiy guys hung around most of the day, and night... So I managed to have a few beers with them and marianne from work. As everything totally went more and more blury, I think I got into this biteing-competition with marianne, so theres is a slight pain in my upperarm, and some decend marks of her theeth... Yesterday was pretty slack; We had this lecture on reggae music and its origin, our sound technician even tried to name me "reggae-rune"; Ill get my vengeance; "puke"/"pule"/"pedo"/etc-petter... Remeber that youve got a broken rib!!!

As for other events this week; Why? is releasing their first album on the fourth:) It sounds like a merge of indie and hip hop. This does not sound as a grand idea, but it actually works out great. Heres "crushed bones" from their coming album "elephant eyelash"....

Woke...

...up pretty early, as it was pretty cold, even inside. The first snow came yesterday... But then the temrature fell and made everything cold and wet;( I really hate that... Anyhow went to garage to see Andrew Bird with Mathias and Lise and some friends of theirs. The support, crooked fingers, was pretty boring in my opinion... A Nick Drakeish bob dylan singing pretty uninteresting songs...
But Andrew bird was much better, alone on stage with a violin, guitar, a xylophone, and his whistling. He used the violin to loop up the rythm and then to make the melody, a then he sang and played guitar and xylophone while whisteling on top of that. Heres "the happy birthdaysong" from this years album "Andrew Bird And the Mysterious Production of Egg".

damned...

...my computer is filled to the brim:( So no new music for some days, or rather untill I manage to get a new harddisc... Happy news about that is my plan to build a "jukebox" out of an old radio and an old computer becomes more urgent, and closer to reality. I never understood why computers have to be so ugly... But this new project would fit right into my home:) My present computer is buildt inside an old wooden beercase, and it looks much better than any other caseing ive seen:)

Last days been abit wet... Pouring water outside, and pouring beer inside... Friday was supposed to be work night, but it never really came that much visitors, so I walked of at one'o'clock and then managed to get pissed pretty quick, went home around six, only to be woken up by a very drunk Lena escaping her maternal duties... As I was dead broke on saturday(yes, I managed to litteraly throw away all my money while cleaning up in my pockets) Tage came by, wich was really nice as he has relocated himself to copenhagen. After some show of with world of warcraft, we strolled down to mono, where everything merged into a blury soup of ...uh, I dont remember.

Woke up this morning to beer and noodle breakfast, finding that Lena was still on the run... Anyhow been playing computergames, listening to "commander venus", Oberst connor(bright eyes,Desaparecidos),Tim Kasher (Slowdown Virginia, Cursive), Todd Baechle (The Faint)& Robb Nansel (Saddle Creek)college band all day. Lyrics screams of fourteen year old love problems, but I think its really cool listening to connors voice before he got to the age changing his voice... Here is "its fun to grow arnamental peppers" and "do you feel at home?" from their first album "do you feel at home?"

Been touring...

with the jam! project again... This time we were denied on the schools of sandefjord, but we managed to join forces with a youth centre in town. This time the kids where a bit older, though fewer, so they managed to make some relly neat thingeys:) Also went to check out the city by night a couple of times. Dont know how the weekends are, but weekdays isnt much to brag about. The local heroes at the "cheap" hotelbar seemed to be the only one frequenting the bars;
Everyday scenario at the hotel bar;

• 1 ex-un soldier, huge muscular guy with scars and all...
• 1 macedonian with both a gambling problem and problems communicating with everything female, or close to female
  
• 1 totally smashed woman having problems with the macedonian guy and the old grumpy bartender, who told her to shut up all the time
• 2-3 hotelguests

We also visited a couple of other places; the promenade wich was a really neat place, but the barmaid seemed abit overentusiastic and even said thank you with a huge grin as I told her to put my beer on øyvinds tab... At the 1. floor we where alowed to pay like 8.50 euros for a glas of beer and about 5 for a hot chocolate, and watch the smashing barmaid play with the latte-machine... On top of this we met this guy who tried really hard to be a fag, but he had been unsucessfull to this point, the next night we met him on a time-travel-back-to-the-eighties kind of place. Eye of the tiger on the deck and this could-be-the-hero-in-a-bon-jovi-video-guy behind the bar...

But at last, at home with shitloads of unanswered messages of every kind... Dont know if I like this modern age...hmm...dreaming about time travel. With a boozefactory, the hooverdam, and all the music I could stuff in my head a travel back to the stone ages sounds like a grand vacation...

Time to check...

...my head! Had these weird halucinations, or dream, im not very sure but it seemed real enough. Anyway I woke up this morning to a four feet tall jack in the box popping up in the centre of my room, this later slided into a figure of a fat man staring wildly before boiling down down to a frail, but happy looking woman who vanished trough the door... Dont know what to make of it. I know I live in a place suitable for a David Lynch movie, and that strange things happen here sometimes, but this has to be in my head. Anyhow, I cant seem to find out what my subconciousness is trying to tell me.

Well I promised you, at least puddles, some more carrisa's wierd songs... Its a hard choice between insanely amounts of good ones. Carissa's wierd is definetly high ranked on my all-time-favourites! Its also autumn big time and these songs are really fit for the season. Starting out with "the ghost of a dead hummingbird", and "daniel brooke's tiny broken fingers in the doorway" from "you should be at home here now". From probably their greatest album; "september come take this heart" (published before), "they'll only miss you if you leave"(also posted previous), "you should be hated here", and "sophisticated fuck princess, please". Ill also give you "sympathy bush" from "scrap book". Perfect moods for the the season... Youll find all the lyrics over at practically pointless.

cleaning out...

...all this shit from last weeks festival, (even cleaning your filthy socks Øyvind), listening to Angels of light and their "god damn the sun"; cant really get away from the lyrics... First time I heard this song was live in Christiania, copenhagen, in october last year. Anyhow heres the lyrics for ya;

When, When We Were Young
We Had No History
So Nothing To Lose
Meant We Could Choose
Choose What We Wanted Then
Without Any Fear
Or Thought Of Revenge
But Then You Grew Old
And I Lost My Ambition
So I Gained An Addiction
To Drink And Depression
(They Are Mine
My Only True Friends
And I'll Keep Them With Me
Until The Very End)
I'd Choose Not To Remember
But I Miss Your Arrogance
And I Need Your Intelligence
And Your Hate For Authority
But Now You're Gone
I Read It Today
They Found You In Spain
Face Down In The Street
With A Bottle In Your Hand
And A Wild Smile On Your Face
And A Knife In Your Back
You Died In A Foreign Land
And They Found My Letter
Rolled Up In Your Pocket
Where I Said I'd Kill Myself
If She Left Me Again
So Now She's Gone
And You're Both In My Mind
I've Got One Thing To Say
Before I Am Drunk Again:
God Damn The Sun
God Damn The Sun
God Damn Anyone
That Says A Kind Word
God Damn The Sun
God Damn The Sun
God Damn The Light It Shines
And This World It Shows
God Damn The Sun

Think its really autumn again, getting shit cold outside and the weird nostalgia is awake...

What the...

...hell is wrong with people... At work we caught a fifty year old, extreemly normal looking office guy drinking from the urinal(!) Im totally speechless...

Sleeping on the floor again...

Ouch...! Last days have been a mayhem of punishing both body and soul, and a step ahead in the line downstairs, as Ive only slept 12 hours or something since tuesday, worked everyday, and got really fucked up on beer and booze and beer and redwine... My home gives the impression of being the crimescene of 20 drunk teens with free beer and booze and no adult attendace for a week...

Well as Tuesday was this weeks day off, I ended up with drinking, again... Met up with Mathias at cacadou for a whiskey and a beer, and went further off to work. Got pretty drunk on an empty stomach (food is evil!)and met an old ex from when I was like 16 or something, calm evening untill; -Johnny comes over and asks me if I got my bag... No I dont, and he informs that this sneaky fucker ran down the road with it(YES! you read right; it happened again! lost one on monday with like 15 cds, and now this damned bastard tries to pull it the next day). So, furious and wild, I get the hell after, and tracks him down, gets my purse and confronts the bastard... He looked really scared, but I managed to stay agressive; -What the fuck are you doing? What the hell did you think was yours in that purse?!? Totally stun, he tries to say that he does not understand... So I interupt him with -fuck you! He tries to utter he dont understand english or norwegian, so I interupt him again, louder this time; -fuck you! fucking coward! You don't dare to rob people in their face with a knife?!? Gotta steal all my personal stuff for nothing?!? fucking coward!!! He tries to explain, but I cut him off with another -fuck you!!! you want me to sleep in the park?!? what do you need my keys for?!? He grows smaller by the second, and we are drawing more and more attention from passersby. He tries to appologise, but I constantly interupts him with loud fuck you's. The he suddenly tries to hug me(!), and says to me that everything is ok(!). Can you believe this sucker!! Very loud and clear I state that it is NOT, and tells him to get the hell out of here with the clear message that Ill wipe his butt on site, if he ever shows hes ass in my way, or at work again...


Back at work, I managed to calm down, and met øysteins friend, mette, wich Ive seen a couple of times before. Totally drunk I invite her home, and after trying to get there we surrender to gravity in a tunnel in the citycentre, probably the dirtyest place to crash in town... After managing to brake a bottle of wine, crawl around in tons of trafficdust, we manage to get home. Well home we keep talking untill the morning when I discover Im out of cigarettes and toilet paper and food. So I head to the shop to get some of all above, but end up with a sixpack of beers instead of food... So hungover I thought I should die, i went to work on wednesday night... Sat up after work with Øystein and had a few beers and managed to get three hours sleep before opening the bar again (to never learn from my mistakes seems to be of utmost importance to me:) After thursdays work , I saw Tim Scott (havalinas) performing, and met mette again as she dropped by work with some friends. This ended up in she inviteing herself to sleep over at my place after some beers on garage... As it seems to be impossible for us to actually get home in one piece (or rather two pieces), we managed to get stuck on the semetery for awhile, and woke up in a really hellish state just now, full of mud and cuts and bruises all over. Most funny though was that she felt so bad with her state as she was babysitting tonight, and guess who she was babysitting; my niese:) Yeah the world is big....

Working again tonight, so today is get-myself-together-day! Straight out my home, get a shower, and get a grip!!!

Ohoi landlobbers!

As I am totally drained, and hungover and extatic and whatever... Hmm, my shape is in total contradiction:) Feel energic and at the same time drained... Jumping, at one moment to the sounds of the beta band, and feeling low at the sound of sia. Dont know if I like the fact that realplayer is set to random. Last days been quite soaken in Fernet and beer and lots of redwine and cigarettes; the pinackle of happiness, lol!


In the news our jam!-tour is being attacked by evil wicked authoroties; police, majors, parents, principals, basicly everyone interested in the socialization of our teenagers to society... Two weeks have been canceled as principals on the schools have banned the project. lol! They dont appreciate the fact that we actually teach the kids to speak their mind; what would society actually be like if people expressed their view all the time?! Giving you a pic of evil wicked me teaching your kids to misbehave:) I even wrote "cunt" on the blackboard, just to make sure that they would get cronically damaged:P

Also some news of my own; the dramatic events that led to me being lifted of my bag for the second time this year:( Øyvind also got his bag stolen... What is it with simple thieves these days? In my opinion they have overated the "simple" part of it; why do they steal shabby old military bags, fucked up and dirty, instead of laptop or photobags that could actually contain something valuable, or at least something sellable? Well I hope you like the music, let me know and Ill burn some more for you:) Also met this shy, but rather sweet nurse (bad thingey is that she has to get up in the morning, 06.30, and thats when I usually stroll home from work...) Dont know if that is solveable....

Anyhow, strolling through my bookshelf, I suddenly remembered this nice little story

I think I could have fun as ol'dread capt'n Bellamy:)

???

Why is erasing desire seen as so important? If the subjugation of the self is the point of the self what's the point of having a self? It's like someone handing you a a leaflet which says throw this leaflet away!

YEESSSS!

Finally got it!, Been looking around for half a year for this very special album; ive searched and searched, with no luck this far; untill today:) Jenn Ghetto's(carissa's wierd, crictor) solo project(with Josh Wackerly and Creighton Barrett)and the album "sadstyle". Im euphoric, her sad, sad songs are so incredible beautyful. "sadstyle" is recorded on a 4-track recorder wich gives it a really simple, lo-fi gefühl. The other album from s, "puking and crying"(yeah I love the title!)is recorded in a studio, and in many ways its to much going on (I think the album is grand...)... On "sadstyle" Jenn Ghettos frail voice and guitar play comes more to its right, and becomes more honest...
Ill give you "elevator", "sometimes I feel like throwing up" and "anti-love song".... Cant get enough...

Nothing really...

happened lately... Been online on wow, ate, drank, slept, and work as usual... Ok, more online than usual though. Well mr Rokkum, I just mentioned you, and im gonna put out some pics from my personal quests to explore horde territory(for those of you totally not getting the point skip till next issue)

-me and ninjitsu got the idea of stealthing into the main undead city
-here we have just hijacked an enemy zeppelin....
-and yet another horde city under our feet; from the core of thunderbluff:)

(Hopefully I wont write more about wow, at same time; hopefully it wont be any whineing about it... or what kp:P)

Anyhow last days been quite eventless; tuesday was the worst concert ever! If you ever find out that Johanna Demker comes to a city near you; steer away! Take orphants on a field trip too a local farm watching the slaughter-season live instead! Its the worst band ever, or the band technically knew how to play, but as farr as imagination, exprementation, and creativity goes, they knew nada! The band consisted of more or less ordinary guys aged 30-40, who, quite extraordinary, didnt know who David Bowie was... (One of them actually asked; what are you playing, (the answer tells itself), oh, it was good... Say no more.... sad sad sad sad sad

Wednesday was work....

Thursday was locking myself up in my bunker with wow...

Friday; more work...

Saturday was the perfect saturday at work... Fun all night long, exelent dj, and no hazzle at all:) every saturday ought to be like that(except for the tip, it was really lousy...)

Monday I slightly worked as band contact for Wallpaper silhouettes, then got drunk with Lasse spang, Pelle, Lena, Andreas, Stig-gunnar, Silje, Elling and my "little" brother Tomas. The last one is not little at all, though he is younger than me, he is like twice my size in all angels not fat or anything, just twice as much everything, lol. We are very different on totally everything, but that makes it quite exciting. He does sports, I hate sports. I want to smash the system, he thinks it can work as it is, but acknowledge it isnt perfect but this we can work out through the channels alreaddy in function. He likes good drinks and spending while out, I hate longdrinks and coffee au lait, and go to the cheapest beer holes or work. I hate radio hits, he listen to them... and so on its endless:) But that makes it more interesting though...

On the stereo at the moment is the wedding present. Here from the latest album "take fountain" "interstate 5(extended version)" and "dont touch that dial(pacific northwest version)". I think the latest album is a bit tame after thier previous releases; judge yourself. Here are "daliance" and "corduroy[single version]" from "seamonsters".

Here's...

... some carissa's wierd for you ping; "september come take this heart", from "songs about leaving". Well I tried uploading more, but it seems ourmedia was too unstable to deliver this time also... If anyone know a more stable place to upload files, please inform me... This is too stupid; half the time it doesnt work.... Anyhow Ill try later....

Mr. energybomb...

...went ka-boom! Well, it seems Ive used all that x-tra energy my cells seemed willing to grant me last week... Totally drained and hung over as hell:( Not that weird if I look back at a rather eventful weekend.

Saturday was perfect, starting out slow with my failing lotteryticket, some rounds with Laura Veirs posters, then finally the serene maneesh concert... It was stuffed at blå, and the band delivered grand! The concert was better than the gig at Øya, but it didnt live up to the wet dream of a concert from last train, wich would be highly improbable... After that I ended up with Øystein and some girl he knew at my place drinking beers and testing wow.

Sunday went by quite eventless, except Marianne could inform me that I had bitten her pretty bad in the arm... Thought I had stopped doing that...

Monday it was working, and then Laura Veirs concert. Hooked up with Øyvind for a few beers, saw the concert and as time and beers passed everything merged into a drunkard kaleidoscope I cant seem to recollect... Hmmm... I think I had a good time:)

Today I woke up sitting in my bed with all my outdoor clothes still on, even boots and my pirate cap... Must have been a photo-opportunity for passers by, lol! Anyhow just missed a free trip to Denmark, and trying to pull myself together for work... Carissa's wierds on the stereo, here with "theyll only miss you if you leave" Enjoy!

Dont know...

...where it comes from, but the last days Ive felt like an energy bomb! Usually Im pretty lazy, but Ive felt like a firecracker ready to explode for days:) Been working both nights since last post, and it seems things got back to normal at work, not all that trouble, and on thursday it seemed to be more fun to be behind the bar than in front of it! Friday started with meeting the most beautyful girl ever, made me feel like a shy five year old brat, could hardly look her in the eye... But it all went swell:) Big mojo has come back, lol:)

On top of it, serena maneesh is playing at blå tonight, Im gonna win the lottery and become a millionaire, and hook up with Børre from the jam-tour. Perfect evening:)

Life is perfect!!!!! & warm thoughts to all:D

After two...

...days of jam touring, really boring this time as the kids were...uh...um..yeah right! Here we give them every opportunity to speak up for themselves, promote their desires or just do as they please; wich all turns out to be nothing... That is with a few exeptions off course. On every other school we have been to trough the spring and now the fall has turned out pretty fruitful, except this one... So, the hypothesis is that the drinkingwater of Lillehammer is contaminated with huge amounts of prozac and braincrumbling devices... If you ever go there; dont touch the water!!!

Right after the tour I went to work to be bandcontact at "you set the scene". Chimeria was playing a pretty good concert, as it merged somewhere between old school Buffalo Tom and Waxwing, even the vocals was abit Rocky Votolato'ish(singer in waxwing), but the band had never heard of either. Got pretty drunk as Ive been up and working for like ages... After the concert I met the "blind-date girl", as she came looking for me, and I think I promised to meet her next week, but for the second time I cant remember where and when:( This seems to be an issue on this "project"; first time I was supposed to meet her I got 30mins late wich she spended letting people in front of her in the restaurant line, second time I totally overslept and had to make some vile excuse about some burned cheese sandwiches and the firedept.(That one has actually worked out with two different girls...) Third time I forgot, and the fourth time I could not remember where and when. So this is the fifth... Cant see why she even bothers, and I dont know if I dare to call her and ask where I was supposed to meet her... The evening ended up with discussing some economic politics with a dork who wanted to get rich, by moneylending to poor people who would usually not get a loan. It seemed like a great idea at first, but as he kept on, it went more and more over to his personal dream of fame and riches, really huge asshole... And a friend of blind-date girl:)

Else in the news;"...the trade group Recording Industry Association of America last week sent out "cease and desist" letters to seven file-sharing groups". Well, fuck you RIAA!!! Your attempt to cencor your own custumers, and preventing them to actually get to listen to other artists than your high ranked britney crap, and other "artists" your greedy companies would like to create, "discover" and invest in to fill your own pockets. Go stuff your money up somewhere, count them or do what the fuck you like, but please stop spending them on lawyers to avoid people who actually have a genuine affection for good music to get in touch with it. Heres what happened to some of the attempts to threaten piratbay.org, and their answers(its hillarious:).... In your face:P

Eating noodles...

...and listening to Laura viers soothing voice, at the same time trying to have two conversations on sms and smoke and drink cofee and write this blog... Guess its the closest I get to ever being an office employee. Didnt get home from work untill nine after some discussions on prostitution with the guys at work, difficult issue wich never gets easier after a saturday night in the bar and a few beers after that... Had a hard time sleeping though, woke up every half hour falling back and back into a weird dream wich submerged the strangedays festival, work, me never getting the after work beer on some weird field with alligators and snakes eating eachother, and me trying to avoid eating either. Everything seemed to get fucked up in a way or another... Anyway, Ive taken the laundry issue seriously; Ive got one left, and everything is clean:) Even all my winterclothes... Its really turning into autumn here. Starting to get cold and the winds have arrived... I do not look forward to the winter...

Anyhow Laura Veirs is playing at monday the 26th at mono. A little teaser here with "rialto" from her new album "year of meteors".

Tomorrow Im off on tour again with the Jam project, and we are going back to Lillehammer...

Slow start...

...this morning... Been on the web learning some spanish swearing, wich will be a highly useful adon to my cv. Well it was mostly useful as I tried to boil my hand in a somewhat failed attempt to boil some soup for breakfast:(

Found this new band today; camera obscura. Well I thought I found a undiscovered album from the glasgow based band, but these guys came from san diego, and the album was pretty lousy, except from one song, wich rolls over and over again on my stereo; "cinematheque" from "to change the shape of an envelope"

Anyhow its laundry day(honestly this time), hook up with mathias, and then go to work at elleven:)

Hungover as...

...hell!! So there was no laundry yesterday, or today. Big plan for tomorrow as I got nothing clean left. The concert yesterday was kind of boring. Perhaps I have seen the band too many times. The fifth time this year. Or perhaps they sucked.... Hard to say. Just been sitting on my ass the entire day, watched "mission to mars", and played shitloads of solitaire. Last one is really disturbing, as the fact that I actually spends time on it really screams; -Get a life sucker!!! Well, Ill grab a beer and forget about the whole thing:)

Honey is cool is on the stereo. Ive had a hangup on them for the last two days. Its a really good swedish band, or rather was. The band has been on hold for a few years. Here they are with "georgia" and "tomato light" from the "focky focky no pay" album. Love the vocals, as they seem a merge between bjork, life without buildings, and pj harvey. Not a bad mix. This ones called "great and smaller things" and is picked from "early morning are you working". Perhaps a tint of Kate Bush in there... Sadly the vocalist is now in the too eightyish electro-dou called "the knife", wich is not worth lending an ear to... Anyway Honey is cool was a great band so enjoy.

About the solitaire thing; what if I could get like an antabus thingey on that one... A little pill to make me feel ill everytime I saw the interface of the game. That would be a step for mankind to produce:) And by the way; I heard that men could actually get milk in their titties... Damned I need a drink.....

Well, as the...

...last post was to test the page from another machine; I havent been able to access this page or my e-mail for a week of some weird reson. I planned to delete last post, but as there are some comments ill keep it online.



Election came upon us, and at last we got rid of that beardlacking fundmentalist, and for the first time in years we might have a goverment able to make decissions, not that I believe they will make much effort in making a change. Were still talking politrix here...



Most disturbing is the fact that frp got 38 of the 169 seats in parliament, wich is really terrifying. They are far right extreemists who are compaired to Jorg Haiders party in austria, berlusconis Italy, or le pens party in france. These velvet-facists have gained popularity only focusing on single cases like cheaper booze and gasoline(less to social welfare and culture), less crime(read; less immigrants, more surveilance, more cops, more to the military), and so on and on with rightwing close to facism bullshit. Im ashamed of my co-citizens after showing such bad judgment. You dont have to fuck people over to fill your belly!! Hope you choke on your easy solutions...

Else its been an eventfull week;

• Work has been hellish, and alot of aggresive people among the clientel, five more or less voilent incidents in a week!!! It seems the seasons brings out the worst in people... PS: to all you scizos out there, please eat your medication or I will have to start working in a kindergarden or something...
  
• On tuesday I worked as band contact, and helldorado played a pretty good concert. ; mind the lyrics;

"my wife cant cook,
aint got the looks,
my wife isnt worth a dime,
I wish she was anybody else but mine..."

• On wednesday I opened at work again, and after my shift beatles(the guy) had arranged a tribute concert for the stranglers. 25 musicians on stage paying their homage, pretty good until one 130kg person jumps the stage and tries to rearange everything in a protest against a lousy(in his eyes) cover-version of one of his favourite bands. It took several guys to get him out, and a copule of mins to get the gig back on. Tired I headed home but ended up in a makeout session with an old "flame" at the nearest minibank. Dont know how clever that was as shes back to sending sms's....
• Friday I saw the most beautiful girl I have ever seen!!! It was gutter aid night in support for the danish gutter island festival. On stage where twistaroos, the moods, and a group of dutch dancers. Great night, lots of danes. They drank 4 litres of fernet branca on the trip here so most of them were out of conscience pretty early, except from this extreemely breathtaking girl... I think ill try that festival next year(drool!)
• As I got the flu, and heavily feverish, job on saturday was cruel. I was pure autopiloting through the bar the entire night , too dizzy and high on fever, certain that I would faint anytime...
• After the heavy saturday shift, I barred myself inside the entire sunday with world of warcraft...
• Monday was get drunk with mum and an old friend of hers day. Discussing the election as the votes kept ticking in, and listening to old stories of my misbehaviour as a child. Mums friend told all kinds of stories about him babysitting me... Once we had been to the swimming pool, and I, walking on crutches at the time, had kept on saying -Hæstkuk! (means horsedick) over and over again. After 20 mins of this he got tired and said if I said it once more I would have to walk home... A sec went by and off course the word came out again:) So I had to walk home 2 kilometers on crutches... He said he had felt bad about that one ever since, but that I was a devil as a child. Believe it or not:)

Today is laundry day, and Im seeing Øyvind again:) Have been unable to reach him in denmark for awhile. Its cloroform concert again and a few beers after that seem pretty fit to me:)

????

???

As yesterday...

...was pretty eventful at work, this morning is pretty slack. I managed for the first time ever to oversleep work at elleven in the night(!)... Dont know if that is a so far fetched thing to accomplish that I deserve a medal for originality or a heavy slap. Anyhow the tip was really crapy, and the clientel sucked big time...

Just had Lasse Spang for a morning visit, starting his 100% position tomorrow morning at a storage outside town, we had the last day-in-freedom cheer with a nice bottle of sacravite and some of that papa-tobacco before he had to return home. Soon Im going to a party with some guys from work, its "karsk & kaviar" at Kampen Bistro. Karsk is the norwegian drink containing about 40% moonshine, and 60% cofee, preferably after loosing temprature... Kaviar is caviar... Gonna be interesting. Cheers:)

Shaken and...

...well stired as I try to recover from the punk party at Barrikaden yesterday. Met up with loads of guys, and girls, I havent seen for a while, wich was really swell, but I had to much of that redwine me and robin drank before we went there so I had to call it a draw pretty early.

Havent been able to write(havent bothered would be more honest...) for the last week, as ive been alot online in the world of warcraft. Also tried to be a real slacker and get my sleep pattern on foot again as I had problems sleeping more that 4-5 hours a night.

Anyhow this weeks events;

• Monday; erlend broke his foot, in a dramatic home accident at myplace; probably the stupidest thing Ive seen so far. He was going up from a chair and it looked like he just laid down on the floor, a few beers and art discussin later his ankle was totally swollen.
• Tuesday; met up with mathias, who gave me a portable 1,5gb usb device for a too late birthdaypresent:) Thnx man, now Im able to rip music from work, and push it right into my computer. Joy to the world!
• Wednesday; steped in on the opening shift at work, really calm day, but my free cigarettes, booze and beer-creditcard overrun 4000,- for the first time;( Well, it shouldnt be a problem as Ive worked alot in august....
• Thursday; Met up with simon, and then went to whiskey-class at cacadou. The best whiskey Ive ever drank; -Lagavulin, 16yrs! Just cant get enough!!
• Friday; Woke up with a vaugue taste of that extreemely grand whiskey. Its the first time I wake up with a smile after forgetting to brush my teeth before bedtime:) After that I went to pers. meeting at work, ripped a few cds, and met Linki and camilla, before heading to the concert...
• Today; Pretty slack, just discovered that I had cigarettes:), and only one cup of cofee left:( Meeting mum afterwards.... Hopefully that paycheck has escaped those long wretched claws of the evil bankiers, and ended up on my shiney suits-free zone of the economy....
  

Well, elections are comming up but we havent really managed to do any actions against it yet... Which is kinda sad... Last parliament elections we managed to "smoke" out the entire "spikersuppa". Its a park aera in front of the parliament where all parties have stands to promote their cause, and give candy and propaganda to passersby. The action was named "fogtalk" where we dressed in white, with white banners, and hand posters with no message at all. Accompanied by a sad violin, and chanting, people were makeing non sence speaches and yelled slogans wich didnt make any scense either. We managed to terrify and amuse people as some politicians fled their election booths in panic, and other totally bewildred just froze unable to move or continue what they were doing. Check out the pic:)

Currently on the stereo is The 6th's "wasp nest" album. "Falling out of love (with you)" & "san diego zoo" should give a proper introduction to this band. They came out with "hyacinths & thistles" later, but it cant top "wasps nest" as its much more plain(boring?) than the first one, despite all the other artists guest appearing on every song. The Lapse is another band Ive recently "re-discovered". The songs "aerial" from their "heaven aint happening" album and "from destructive urges reason emerges" & "mentabolism" from betrayal is really worth lending an ear to. I just love toko yasudas(van pelt and blonde redhead) voice.

And I discovered that some people avtually bothers to link me up, so Ive linked you up to:)

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;

• Pinback "fortress"
• Lenola "do you want to see a volcano"
• carissa`s wierd "sharing a hole"
• seam "port of charleston"
• 31 knots "breathe to please them"
• pedro the lion "metal heart"

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;

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....
