More and more of my belongings get stuffed in cardboard boxes awaiting me and my parents moving to Strømmen. For the next week, the only thing my stereo will be playing is The Sunset Tree (as that was currently playing when I packed my CDs) and Looper's Who's Afraid of Y2K single (as it managed to use its small size to hide away). And the only ( Read more... )

Strange rumors have been verified. This makes me quite excited.

I suppose I'm not allowed to tell you what it is, though.

In the meantime: people should just just give up describing beauty, since they'll never do as good a job as Nick Cave anyway.

The class meet yesterday went quite well, although only six people from the old class showed up. I'm not sure if everybody were invited or not, but I'm guessing not. And quite a lot were probably busy or something ( Read more... )

Hard-working and dedicated artists (such as adamtt) work hard to design the inside of album covers. Few people truly recognize the importance of their job, though. I mean, some movie magazines will give reviews of the bonus material on DVDs, but never does any music reviewer comment on how wonderful the cover is.

I think Ryan North totally invented this meme some time ago. Or maybe I'm just imagining things and attributing it to the creator of the Internet and Kraft dinner because that is the default for me.

and how to scrath your dog

So, anyway: AdamTT, you in? Anybody else in? They rock awesomely!

Just a couple of examples here ( Read more... )

Do you get that feeling that someone said something exorbitantly important to you, but you failed to catch it? A subtle clue hidden in a proposition, style. I got that feeling today. For some reason it felt like Steve was the one who had said something important, but he hadn't really said much to me all day, so it didn't make much sense ( Read more... )

M. did this some time ago, so I figured I'd give it a shot. The deal is as follows: I put my favorite MP3 player to play songs at random, and write down a line or two from the first 25 songs it plays. Then everybody are to figure out what songs they are from (without googling) and post comments when they get something. Eventually, we will find out ( Read more... )

My conclusion for the day is that I should take up drawing.

I had forgotten just how great an album The Boatman's Call is.

  The stars will explode in the sky
  O but they don't, do they?
