the darkest of all months, the saddest of all keys

Thursday, January 17, 2008

8:41 PM - the darkest of all months, the saddest of all keys..... January, again... But the new year is just waiting to be filled by missions and things I am currently planning the next tour: Germany, Belgium and Holland in March together with Gustav (Gustav and the seasick sailors) and Peder (Shooting John) and also Petter on drums! Excited... I am also rehearsing to go into the studio sometime soon. Hopefully I'll be done in the end of February. Last year was a great year, met so many wonderful, inspiring new people. Only sad thing is that there wasn't too much time to spend with my old friends and family. A week ago I was in Malmo on a TVshow, I am trying to put up the video on youtube, I'll let you know when it's up there! And did you see the Unique Generation magazine? They made a great interview with me for those who can read Swedish :) www.uniqegeneration.com The photos are up in one of my albums! .. Take care, friends and folks *H On repeat this week: you are a runner, and I am my fathers son - by - Wolf Parade Currently listening : Neon Bible By Arcade Fire Release date: 06 March, 2007

aturday, November 10, 2007

8:57 PM - UK...... Current mood: awake Lack of wifi the last weeks but here's the VLOG for UK. The next one will be up soon, and then we're on track again :) Oktober 28, 2007 Old Golf House Hotel, Huddersfield, GB By a wooden desk, my cigaret in the ashtray glowing still. The sound from the highway... Tonight is our last show in England. Tomorrow we go to Ireland. I'm listening to Bright Eyes, Amy in the while coat, and let the peace settle... I went for a walk up the hill here, the smell of fall, red and yellow leaves i love the fall it always makes me feel like me again...strange... The shows in England has been pretty good this week. I walked off the ferry in Hull with a very very sore throat and was sick for the next five days. In Huddersfield we got to stay at Christians friend, Aga's house which included a crazy party with all the polish people living there. In Birmingham we had a great show and didn't have to sleep in the car thanks to Eddy and We had a bad one two nights ago, in a bar and a bachelor party decided to sing their cherry song at the same time as we played... :) We had a day off and went down to Oxford to visit my friend Hamish. His lady, Jemma made us amazing salmon for dinner and we got to play with the 2 year old Stan. A night out and we met up with Graham as well and saw a few bands. (Hamish and Graham are the european band for Rachelle Van Zanten) Ireland.......so beautiful and they really gt some green fields there!! We stayed at Gustav's friends house in Dublin, thank you Martin for that! Had a few guinness in Temple Bar, found our way to the bar Pravda where my brother used to work - really cool place. Thanks to Martin and his friends and the group of people from myspace the show at Cassidy's went well even though we didn't have a sound system.. In Galway we played Roisin Dubh and hung out with 4 irish sisters. In Cork we played at Tikki Lounge, nice night, thank you Anette Buckley for opening up for us. We had a few days off too... We saw the cliffs of mohair - amazing! We stopped in a small village and went to a bath house and hung out in the jacuzzi and steam sauna for a few hours...det e najs We went to the Blarney Castle to kiss the Blarney stone: If you kiss the Blarney stone you are supposed to get the gift of eloquence. To do it right you have to hang out from the roof of the caste, upside down an kiss the stone. An interesting adventure.. *H
