Så går en födelsedag ifrån vårt liv och kommer icke mer

Idag (eller igår, beroende på när jag publicerar det här) fyllde Roger år. Det blev jordgubbstårta och kaffe i trädgården med en hel orkester av mygg i bakgrunden. Roger fick strumpor, nya kläder, Snabba cash och en dinosauriecykeltuta i present. Han fick också äran att höja sadeln på min cykel, så nu kan jag svischa nerför Carolinabacken igen.

Svår Ung Man och nedlåtande journalister med korkade frågor. Roligare kan det knappast bli.






Rätt skysst musik i alla fall:

Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl

Sometimes I forget how much I love Tori Amos. For a while I don't think about her much, don't listen to her albums. Then I come across some interview or video with her and I become fascinated again.



"Jesus, if I saw somebody destroying a piano I'd fucking murder them. Wouldn't think twice."



I want to like her new songs, but I haven't really felt anything she has done after Scarlet's Walk and I don't think I will even buy Abnormally Attracted to Sin. Too bad. But I still have the old albums and she will always be my piano heroine.

and leave the birds all the trimmings

I have this urge to cut off my hair. All of it. It's so dry and damaged I might as well get rid of it. And I have never really cut my own hair before, just trimmed it. It seems like so much fun to chop everything off. I am pretty sure a crew cut would not be, erm, very becoming on me, but one shouldn't be too much in love with one's appearance. Besides, it will grow out again.

Roskilde 2009

I dislike most things about festivals. The mud, living in a tent - especially since it always rains, being dirty all the time, drunk people who scream the wrong lyrics to "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" all night long, the smell - oh god, the horrid, horrid smell - of piss and puke everywhere, getting sick on the second day and stumbling around with a fever for the rest of the time, being unable to get away from people for even a few minutes, feeling drained from the constant high level of noise and stress...

Having said all that, look on this band list, ye mighty, and despair. See, the music makes it all worth it (almost). I am prepared to feel like shit for one week, give or take a few days, every year if it means I can go to as many gigs as I want during that time.

Bands I haven't seen that I really, really want to see:

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Fever Ray
Fleet Foxes
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Deerhoof
Get Well Soon
Glasvegas
Marissa Nadler


I kind of want to go to Arvika Festival too, but Roskilde just seems a liiitle bit better. They have Marissa and Nick Cave after all. Now, who wants to spend a fuckload of money, that they really should save, on short notice?
