Lossless and lossy audio formats for music

Before changing the speakers in my car I thought that MP3 was the digital audio format that I would prefer for our entire cd collection. Last week, I was told that I should use lossless formats instead, but I did not care. But that was before yesterday. When out driving with the car listening to tracks on my Ipod I turned the volume all the way up to max without any problems. Somehow I was not pleased, I thought the sound…was a bit bad. But, then I switched to the cd-player…and whow!! So, now I have to delete all the MP3’s I have ripped, and instead use the FLAC-file format. You can read all about it here

Hellacopters in concert

I was paralyzed
as i opened up my bloodshot eyes
do i really wanna know
where i’ve been or where i’ve put my nose

Yesterday Anders, Espen, Loy, Bendik and I went to see the farewell concert to Hellacopters. Pure rock’n roll, very good concert I must say!! They got on stage, and immediately started playing. After four songs Nicke said “Tjena Norje!” (Hello Norway), then right on to the next song. How cool is that, no chitchat, just rock’n roll!!
