Escape from boredom

Friday afternoon my neighbor Thomas got two tickets to Depeche Mode in Telenor Arena the same evening and invited me to join him…an offer I could not refuse since I never have seen them live. Quite ok concert, I do agree with Aftenposten “An ordinary day at work” www.aftenposten.no/…/En-helt-vanlig-dag-pa-jobben….htm.

Saturday evening, spinning and listening to Kyuss and their first album Wretch.

And right now this is my gym. My spinning cycle is behind the cardboard box, and right in front of the old Volvo. My own soulcycle-gym! Nice or what?

…like clockwork…

Makes my day go round

One of many reviews http://www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/like-clockwork-20130604

Yesterday me and Elin together with Anette and Dag Anders went to see Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band live in concert at Telenor Arena. Picture from before it all started.

And the show is on, and what a show. They are pretty amazing live.

Happy couple on our way home.

Today, finally, after a to long break, I did my “Spinning to” again. Today spinning to Johnossi and their latest album Transitions. Enjoyed it, especially Gone Forever. At the end, the album had a bit to much ballads, I would prefer that they mixed the songs a bit more while spinning to it, but hey…not a big issue. I recommend listening to it.

While early at work today I’m pushing the sky away…listening to the brand new album from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds “Push the Sky Away“. It is their fifteenth studio album (!!) and still worth listening to, impressing! Do believe I have almost all their cd’s already, this one must be part of my collection as well, not only as offline album from Wimp.

Got the band recommended while listening to Verdensherredømme, the episode about Peru. Los Saicos were a Peruvian garage rock band in the -60’s, read more about them at Wikipedia.

As I’m aware of, ¡Demolición! was their biggest hit, a song about blowing up the train station (according to Verdensherredømme)

Listen to the whole album if you have Wimp http://wimp.no/wweb/album/3543990

Went to Rockefeller together with Simen, Kjetil, Inge and Are. It was the release concert of Black Debbath’s and Audrey Horns last album. First out was Truckfighters. Never heard of them before, but it turns out that they started back in 2001. Must say I really enjoyd them, clearly influenced by bands I love such as Kyuss. I ran to the merch shop and bought a t-shirt and their first cd, and also got some stickers and such.

Then it was Audrey Horne. Nothing bad with their performance, but I just don’t like that genre. To much hairy-eighties, just not everyone with hair.

And finally Black Debbath, “Nå får det faen meg være rock! Akademisk stoner-rock!”, very, very good.

After the concert, Simen being a strongman.

My old blog, which really just is a category instead of a blog, the cdonly is close to dead since I do not buy cd’s anymore. But I still listen to music, so I will instead blog about albums I listen to – and my own criteria will be that I must have listened to all songs on the album. Same as for the “Spinning to music”, but since I listen to music in the car and at work as well…

• West of Memphis: Voices for justice. Read more about it at Indiewire.com. Many songs I enjoyed, such as the covers of “Little Lion Man” originally by Mumford & Sons and also my favorite hangover song “Mother” by legendary Pink Floyd. Now also listening to The White Buffalo since he also has a song on the album.
• On my way to my in-laws last Sunday, I listened to Orango and their latest album Colonial Militia vol 2. Enjoy the genre and therefore this is my kinda a music as well, but I did not get a kick of it so it does not get high rotation on my playlist.

Album #17, Rival Sons and their first album Before the Fire. Blues/Hard rock, back to the 70’s. Good one!
