6 days to go

The VETO gig is almost within reach. Halleluja.

The sun is shining and it's all good.

It's spring in England and winter in Sweden.

music bliss

I was watching Skins last night. Half dead. But a few songs managed to reach through my fuzzy feeling brain and glue themselves there.

And I found a few of them on Spotify, so freshness was added to my for the moment only playlist. Which contains mostly scattered tracks from different artists that has caught my ear.

So newly found ear candy is Maps and Florence & the Machine

- happiness, hit her like a train on a track -

Thursday bla-bla-bla

Another day with overtime today. Yesterday I went to the gym when I got home, around 9pm. Felt good with 30 minutes of exercise instead of crawling straight into bed.

Friday tomorrow. Maybe drinks with Barbara and her boyfriend. London on Saturday with Dave, having dinner at Yo! Sushi. Can't wait. Looking through the menu on the web site makes me drool allover the keyboard.

Obsessed with the latest album from Tiger Lou - A Partial Print. Can't listen to anything else right now. I wish VETO had released a new album as well. I'll dedicate all next week to them, in preparation for their gig at Bar Rumba. I'm hoping sweet Jill will come with me. But I'll at least see her on Tuesday, for the St Patricks Day celebration at the Earl of Camden.

Barry had an interesting way of labelling a music artist mainstream yesterday. Because System of a down have had a few singles on US Top Something they we're mainstream. Maybe I should send him a link that explains the word mainstream to him. And to go by his example makes his favourites Children of Bodom mainstream as well, as they've had singles and albums on charts. He annoys me.
Mainstream in my definition is something that is generally liked by the world/society/people. But I guess mainstream means different things to everyone.

Oh well. Back to work.

Ta-ta

The death of the week

In other words Friday and two weeks since my last update. I guess I got caught in the swirl wind called working overtime and then I had sweet friends from Sweden on visit last weekend. Live music at the Boileroom, shopping in Camden, beer drinking and lots and lots of laughing and love.

Shame they had to go back on Monday.

Two concerts coming up in London. First one, Jose Gonzalez. I stumbled upon the site bandsintown.com and discovered that he's doing a show in April. As soon as I realized it was true, I sent a text to Dave and ten minutes or so later, two tickets had been purchased. I then discovered that another favourite band, Veto, is doing a couple of shows in London this month. And I couldn't once again believe my eyes. But yes, oh yes, it was true. So now I'm just trying to find people to come with me. This chance can not be missed. I wouldn't forgive myself.

So great concerts to look forward to each coming month. Veto in March. Jose in April. Depeche Mode in May. I've moved up to Cloud No9.

Come join me!
