April is the cruelest month...

He wasn't all wrong, good ol' T.S. Elliot. When I look outside, it looks wet and cold, and guess who has to deliever mail tomorrow morning... no, it's not this guy!

Muse will release their new album in autumm according to NME. It will be titled The Smallprint, and will according to Matt Bellamy surprise a lot of people. Is it just me, or does surprise often really mean piss of or dissapoint when it comes to bands taking new, more uplifting, directions? Like on of these three wise men once said: Happy people got no stories. They will btw release an album called High Anxiety on May 5th, it might be worth checking out....

He can't go out 'cause his roots are showing...


Just spend a fortune on a haircut, but it came with free small talk though. So now it’s time to dye it pitch black once again. I really do this too rarely ‘cause my roots are always showing for ages before I get round to get some more girlie looking nourishing colour masque rubbed into my Pulp-esque hairdo! Yeah I know... I’m so vain.... I probably think this blog is about me....

Big news; Manic Street Preachers announced on the Midtfyns Festival! This is actually a crying shame, ‘cause my original plan was to go the Roskilde Festival.... but unless they announce Muse, The Cooper Temple Clause and The Libertines within the next couple of weeks I’m afraid that I will, once again, be drawn to the mudslides of Ringe (and in the case that any non-Danish speaking people reads this; ‘Ringe’ means ‘crappy’ in Danish!)

In other news, the superb Arseblog, has turned commercial, and has opened a special members section, at the humble price of 12.85£! I really don’t know what to think of this. The site is lo-ve-ly as it is, and I’ve always been against paying for porn.. I mean stuff, on the internet! Is a yadayada@arseblog.com address and a ‘classic goal’ a month really worth good money? I’m not convinced, and I’ll probably end up spending my money on this instead.

..They took all the love that a poor boy could give

Apparently I missed free entrance to Steve Malkmus & The Jiggs yesterday. Shame, According to John it was a rather good mess!

This on the other hand, is my personal feel good story of the day - do do run run! Isn't it nice to know that no one is really flawless?

Also, since I'm such a nice person, I'll personally volunteer to help these worried parents! I'm especially interested in helping out Kylie....

Since I didn't go to The Malkmus gig yesterday, and didn't see Man United get spanked 3-1 by Real Madrid - I spend the night in front of my computer playing the new Championship Manager 4! Good game, but unforntunately it is running extremely slow! You could fit entire Deep Purple songs, solos 'n all, into the up-dates! And since there hasn't been that many changes since CM3, which ran and is still running fine on my computer, it hardly seems fair! Oh well, my littlebrother has a patch that should fix some of the problems, and hopefully I will bring Preston, Tranmere or Luton to UEFA Cup glory before Championship Manager 5!

...and that was a lot of money back then!

These 4 students better start expanding their paper-routes, cause they are gonna owe the bastard at RIAA 150.000.000.000 £, for filesharing! That's a lot of money...... But what really caught my attention in the article was the name of one the students, Aaron Sherman, and the name of president of the RIAA, Cary Sherman! Is this guy really suing his own son for 37.500.000.000 £?!?!? Talk about bad parenting!

And a penguin shouting 'racist racist racist' must be funny no matter if you don't understand the rest of it!

It's hard to be left-handed.....

Don't you just hate people without a sense of humour. I certainly do, and this is way funny!

Also I wonder if this was the inspiration for the new Placebo album, Sleeping with Ghosts? That Brian Molko sure moves in mysterious circles.... maybe 'cause one of his legs is shorter than the other. Maybe it justs proves that everything fun originates from Ecuador, Anders discovered that ages ago!

...and a vision of you standing out in a crowd

So far there has been disturbingly little luck attached to my brand new Ray Parlour Arsenal jersey! 1-1 against Villa in yesterdays match simply isn't good enough....

Suede on the other hand, were almost good enough. They started out with new song, Love the way you love , crap title but actually a decent stomper of a song! What followed was an intense and high paced concert, with focus on songs from Coming Up and Head Music. Highlights of the evening was a powerful version of Can't get Enough, the always great So Young (though, they rellay aren't that young anymore...) and apparently for the first time live in 8 years, the best Suede song ever, The Asphalt World. The 8 minute long epic of a song almost made this concert the 367 kroner (aprox. 30£) worth... almost!
The audience on the other hand, were rather shit! I'll bet half didn't know that Suede once had a guitarist called Bernard Butler, and a lot seemed much more intent on pogo'ing around than on enjoying the music! Yes, I'm a young bitter man, who wishes that all my favorite bands would never rise above the toilet circuit, so they will play just for me and a selected crowd..... whom I'll have invited!

Afterwards I went to a small, exclusive gathering, naming among others Roy, and had quite a few beers.... so it's not untill now I am actually able to update the blog....

And I think it's somewhere in the Bible (Around page 753, a bit below the middle) , that if Kristian one day quotes Crazy Town in his blog, Armageddon is just around the corner!
