I'm lovin' it.



It's been snowing for almost three days straight and we're up to about half a meter by now. I guess it's a fair deal – no sun for over two weeks but this white glory instead.

In other news: It's official – I'm staying in Oslo and will continue working for Bleed until July. Starting March I'll even get paid :) Also the first of my three Hero canvases has been sold! What makes it even better, it's been bought by a 'colleague' – a guy from local product designers Frost. Got a new Mixtape out over at Twisted Nuns too, so check that if you like. Other than that I'm still a bit cranky. Feels like something's wrong with my lungs or I dunno...

Last Friday I joined fellow intern Stian and a couple of his friends for a spontaneous after-work concert marathon. First, two acts at Blå and then two more at the Revolver basement. I've never been to that last place before, at least not to the basement, but it was really really nice. Cozy location, likeable people and ok-priced drinks (but hey, it's still Oslo...). As I really don't wanna write butt long reviews of each gig, I'm just gonna throw a couple of keywords out there in the order I saw them play. Check the links for sound bits.

Mark Francombe – post rock, nerdy, guitar distortion, good
John Wiese – FUCKING EARDRUM BURSTING HELLISH NOISE–WALL!
Pashly – enjoyable, cute, bubblegum electro, overly self-dramatic
Controllar – artsy fartsy, bullshit, not worth the time

I think I've just found my dream car. Now, I'm not the kinda guy who gets all worked up about big engines, 20" rims, pimped out interiors or automobiles in general. But ever since I've gotten my driver's license, I've been wanting a Jeep Wrangler as my first car. Either that or a VW Kübelwagen. Since the latter is kinda hard to get a hold of and I'd be pretty much fucked if something went awry with the block – I don't know shit about that stuff – I'd rather settle for something 'safer'. A couple of days ago I found out that since 2007 the Wrangler comes in a four-door version called Wrangler Unlimited.

Seriously, I will continue living in a dump and eat greasy junk food for the next couple of years if it allows me do drive one of these babies. With white body paint and tan leather interior that is...

To welcome the new guys Stian, Åge and Alex at Bleed, we had a little gathering yesterday. First at the agency with beer, cider (for the German sissy boy...) and good ol' Dolly Dimple's pizza. And later at Revolver with more beer and weird conversations. Fun night, but I'm never ever touching that damn Snus again...

Gotta love this kid's style and flow. Especially when his skills are presenetd in such a chill way. And what do you know, he's German!
Big Whoop! Didn't know we had such talent back home.
Anyways, nice clip.
