my, oh my...

...The record and movie gigants pumps up; hopefully its bound to explode... After EU is issueing new anti-terror laws, the entertainment industries starts lobby for extended use of surveilance of their own consumers to keep them in business; Read this from BBC today, this is too fucking far to go... How is the industry gonna use this? Use intelegence resources to find out if some 14 year old girl "stole" "their" britney album, then use military and police to put her in guantanamo? That would probably teach her to spend her meager pocketmoney on their products! Or is it gonna be like sony and universal is going to get their own surveilance personel ? And after theyve discovered an "act of terror" against their internal economy, whos gonna follow this up? The police? Special task forces? That would certainly be great for our everyday security according to ordinary crimefighting! Or do they visualize them selves with their very own special task force put high above the general law? That would be really "swell" according to privacy policies! Who could imagine that the wicked world of orwells "1984" was to be run by entertainment corporations... Well to qoute the article;

"If they cannot come up with a business model which allows them to make profits without criminalising their customers, trampling over our civil liberties or installing malware on our computers then they do not deserve to stay in business..."

Eating breakfast...

...and trying to cope after meeting my big brother for the first time in months; hes been working on the local theater back in Mo i Rana. It got abit soaked, but it was nice to see him again:) But he is thinking of moving there permanently, wich is kind of sad; the distance(1000km, that would be the same as he was moving to somewhere like the northern part of Italy...) and the fact that Mo i Rana is the hellhole where I grew up and wish to forget exists... It used to be this dump of an industrial small-town, built on war-gainings from the ww2(yeah, thats where the old messerschmidt and vw factories ended) untill the government decided to put all the industry down , all at the same time. Over the night the "city" became a dunghole of unemployees and social cases; untill they made papershufflers of most of the population and put all the mean offices (all my evil mail comes from here) and the national library there... They also kept people employed by building lots of highways(!) in a community of about 25-30000 people, lol... I also met Mette again, wich was kind of funny as she was to babysit my brothers kid last time we went on a drunkard spree:) Also met lots of the regulars, and this very nice girl, Liv, wich was modelling for me acouple of years ago. Then it all went blury... Nice evening:)

Anyhow, Wolf Parade delivered grand on saturday:) But Christian insisted on vorspiel, so we got pretty drunk... Luckily he was the first to black out so now I'm able to invent stories to make his drunken nerves totally highwired:)

Sunday was slack; totally hung over I fell asleep at eigth or something watching "lost in translation". I think its perfect for a hungoverday, its so slow and murrays insomnia makes him as bad shaped as one self feel on a day like this. "Dead man" is also perfect for this scenario:) I LOVE that movie!!! Woke up at 3.00AM, and couldnt sleep anymore even though I tried really hard:( Ended up with playing wow, wtaching "closer" and "Frk. Sverige" and lots and lots of carnivale, before meeting my brother...

Tonight is the zoom-06 finals part one and Im supposed to judge... Have heard all the bands, but as Im not very into any of them its gonna be a hard decission, think I have to get really focused and stay away from the bar to make up my mind...

One good thing from the weekend though; Autolux:) I "discovered" this fantastic band on friday and its been on the stereo since then. Heres a little something for yah; "Blanket" from their new album "future perfect". Heres also a video thingey from their website:) Time to black out, just to make it real! Wooohooo!!!

The riots...

...of france reaches Oslo:) In the news today several papers could report of three cars lit up in suburbian Oslo... A week ago two cars where set on fire in the inner citys west-end. The revolt seems to be spreading across europe... Dont have time to write that much now, but check out setchy thoughts for some eyewitness reports and some decent oppinions...

And for ale; heres your surfs up!, from Ungdomskulen...

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!
