Last day of recording...

Will be tomorrow. Yay! And a new video from Holmes:

Rette mich...

I'm exhausted. Friday: Release, weird art stuff, Dunkel, in bed 7.30. Saturday: Up 11.30, brunch, recording, dinner at my place. Sunday: Brunch with a friend in Valby. And listening to this:



And this (and yeah, it's the nature of the beast):

Palin...

Hehe, Sankofa's made a Palin "lovesong" (thanks to imageyenation):

And I'm preparing for the next 7 days which will be busy as hell with dancing, dinners and loooooads of recording (behind schedule, dammit).

Guess there's no one

Oh, I'm not ill. Now I'm just tired. But spent the weekend in a rather nice fashion. Been making Tempura for instance, so my house now smells like it's been deep fried. And reading two crime novels. And unfortunately missing the Bonnie and Clyde concert Friday. But hey, at least I've got the video:

Bonnie & Clyde - Guess theres no one

Up to your neck

Naturally, I'm still ill. And tired of reading, so started finding new stuff on da net. Here's a load of remixes from Diefenbach. I really, really, really dig the Good Luck Casper one (it's very cut-up in a very cool way, if that makes any sense). Diefenbach is also hosting a release party at Gefährlich next week, which I plan to go to, if I have the time.

And Laid Back's releasing a compilation. And that calls for sentimental value, since it's one of the bands that I grew up with in the 80ies. And it was the first concert I saw on my own (Kridthuset in Åbenrå in 1990 or 1991, I think). I got the autographs too :-). And "Baker Man" is one the best videos ever made:

Rats...

I'm still ill. And there ain't nothing helping. Luckily there's a theme night about the Danish national football team on DR2. Right now they're showing the 0-1 on Wembley which is the first Danish game I actually remember seing. And some indie guy must be among the producers, they've already used a beat from Yo La Tengo and this one from My Bloody Valentine:

On the other hand...

When you're ill, you've got the time to read newspapers :-). And this article by Francis Fukuyama (the dude with "The End of History"-thesis). As a historian I don't really agree with what he's said before, but he's got some valid points this time, so go read, please (apart from the fact that he claims that less educated people with a working class background in Europe always will vote for Left Wing parties. I think that Pia Kjærsgaard would be in for a laugh on that one :-). Anyway, an end to Reaganism and Thatcherism would be wonderful, so here's a toast to screwing corporate idiots, government idiots and most other idiots. And during the last few weeks I've been singing the chorus of this song at my job, just for fun (and ever so slightly as a provocation :-)):
