Girls keep secrets in the strangest ways
Girls don’t tell,
they just sometimes have to say


Not much is going on around here, though I have just received the duty roster for SPOT10, the biggest up coming band festival in Denmark. Over the two days I'll be reviewing Ephemera (Bittersweet Norwegian pop chicks), Kill (Norwegian,live-only rock/electronica super group?!?!!?), Lupus (Danish girl fronted indie pop), Out of Phase (Super experimental world music... I hope it's just a little better than it sounds), Silver (Norwegian heavy/glam... the track I've heard sounded an awful lot like HIM) and Utah ( with that name, how can they play anything but country-rock (a Jeff Tweedy trademark). They call it Western-Indie though...). All in all, pretty much what I asked for, ecxept for that world music stuff, so I think it'll be good fun. Only problem is that the music starts at 2 pm, and none of the bands I'm reviewing play before 7 pm, so I'll have hold back on the beer, oh well.

Maybe you've been brainwashed too

So the weekend's over, and a very nice weekend it was. The David Lynch thing was quite disappointing. Lynch and John Hagelin spoke a lot about transcendental meditation, anf it was all greek to me. Pseudo philosophical mumbo jumbo, and when they spoke about "how humans only use 5% of their brain power", I decided I'd rather go with Scientology... at least they attribute me with a 10% usage! Both Lynch and the doc answered all questions vaguely, and constantly returned to the same fortune cookie style mantras. I didn't get to ask Hagelin which wars it was, that had actually been stopped by meditation! John has a nice describtion of the whole thing along with some paparazzi shots of Lynch!

Afterwards I wen't and had some beers at a friends house, and got initiated into the wonders of Wilco and Ryan Adams, very nice. Later we went downtown, and had a very good time, perhaps due to fact that for once nobody ended up sh*tfaced drunk!

If you liked the Elbow singing scouser kittens, you should tjeck out the spongemonkeys trying to cash in on the kittens' succes.

And this is not my proudest moment, but I'll do a lot, short of eating a slug, to get my foot in with Denmarks one and only music magazine... I'm a slut,I kno'!

And I promise never to quote New Radicals on my blog again....
