I got an e-mail this morning from the radiohead mailinglist. It was about Philip Selway‘s independent album Familial. You can download a free mp3 of the first track on his website. I am not convinced yet, but I know he’s a great drummer. Good luck! I was reading up on Radiohead history and news when […]

I was picking up some nice RL hacking tips on a youtube channel when I came across a user who were introducing freeware games people could run live @ school. Not really interesting, but he also linked to the source music of his presentations, which was rather good. It turned out to be some electronica […]

I’m working late tonight and having spent quite a few hours at work I tend to look at the latest virals. Among the more mindless rubbish I came across today, I stumbled over a little gem of a mixer artist namely Pogo. Some of his amazing tracks, including the Skynet Symphonic, Alohomora and Upular are […]

The growling groundhog of the metropolitan under-bowels, Tom Waits, turns 60 today the 7th of December 2009. The jingle: Yup. It’s not the usual jingle, I know, but Tom’s not a usual man. The picture’s from his 2008 Glitter and Doom tour, this particular one from Prague, provided by Gut. In celebration of Tom Waits’ […]

Michael Jackson’s last recorded album This is it and the DVD made from the preparations of his last big tour are the only reasons why big capitalist bastards still care about him. It’s so sad when people who’ve met such abuse by an industry and the press dies tragically, only to lure all the bottom-dwelling […]

A colleague sent me this link to Q the podcast, featuring an interview with Tom Waits himself. It’s a great interview starting off as a conversation about film, then moves on to his role in The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, and at the end of it he reveals that Tom Waits will release a Glitter […]

Michael Jackson, one of my childhood heroes and all time King of Pop died today at 11:40 pm Norwegian time. The Los Angeles Times reportedly wrote that Jackson didn’t breathe when medical staff arrived his house. He evidently received CPR in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, and later fell into a coma. […]

After the concert review I wrote of Mr. I’ll be a gecko himself, Bob Dylan, it might surprise you that I actually went ahead and put off time today to get his latest album, the Together Through Life installment of his troublesome biographical trilogy. But you shouldn’t be surprised. I wasn’t. The album is a […]

Yesterday we went to see Bob Dylan on his Neverending Tour. Me and Kornelius saw him on the same tour back in 2005. I complained about the sound then and I will complain about it now. The sound is crap. Oslo Spektrum was made for hockey games and horse riding, not music. With a better […]
