Lack of free will

Yesterday I went to Parkteateret to see Florence and the machine again. I was hoping that the small stage indoors would significantly make it a better performance than at Øya. I wasn’t wrong. It didn’t hurt matters that the audience knew better what they were coming for either.

To sum things up, it was a great concert. It was pretty much the same songs as on Øya, but they now had an acoustic part which was really great. Her voice is just in a league of itself.

Well, as I’m busy enough not to post very often – here is a bunch of new music!

I’ve had an account at Spotify from the very beginning, but I never saw the real use of it. That was until they launched their player for Android. (And btw, I love my HTC Hero, bye bye iPhone and Windows Mobile!!) So, for you other using Spotify, here’s one of my playlists!

Well, maybe I wasn’t all gone, but still. Time to start the Autumn blogging! Lets start with a fun little movie!

So, to sum things up. Yey!

Øya was so much fun, I didn’t even mind the rain the last day, because it was the last day(doh), and it’s vacation time again.

The only thing that annoyed me from the very beginning, which meant I had to put it away mentally already on Wednesday, was the quality of the sound. I mean, come on! The Enga stage just had terrible sound, the bass drowned out everything, including vocals. *put it away again*

Røyksopp was at times amazing, in spite of strange stage behavior and some bad song choices. Erol Alkan was brilliant. Beirut was a bit of a letdown. He seemed nervous.

Florence and the machine was perhaps the best concert, if taken into the consideration all the technical problems they had. She’s crazy, or perhaps just high on cocaine, I mean when you go off stage with a nose bleed, what’s a poor audience to think? Her voice is just amazing, also live.

Fever Ray, Bon Iver, Band of Horses, Mew etc. I’m happy!

Will be back next year!

TED talks are always good, but the kids in this one are hilarious.

is simply lacking these days… Too much happening, too many things that I would like to do, projects I would like to finish. New music should be coming soon, but between vacations and work, I have prioritized other things.

For all Spotify users and Øya participants, this link should be useful!
