This evening Elin and I went to a concert with Eva Kristine Bjerga Haugen and Espen Eriksen Trio, playing support for someone else (we went home before they started playing) http://www.nasjonaljazzscene.no/pa-plakaten/neil-cowley-trio-plateslipp. To thoose of you who know my taste of music, I have not turned into a jazz-man, but when Lars Tormod play I listen to jazz 🙂

rblog – Connecting people once again
My blog has once again connected people like it has two times before, only this time I was a part in it. Thomas from Switzerland was trying to get hold of a copy of the soundtrack from Izzat, but he realized that it was not as easy as he had hoped for. No one of the online music stores who had Izzat did not deliver outside of the Nordic countries. Instead, I ordered it for him together with a copy of Gluecifer – Kings of Rock, Best of and Rarities. Instead of money in return for the job I wrote to Thomas that he should in return send me some music from Switzerland, and so he did. He sent me The Monsters “I see dead people” and also an ep of his own band The Strapones http://thestrapones.com/. Cool music, both bands reminds me of the Norwegian band The Mormones
No one can claim that blogging is a waste of time! 🙂

Also see my post 2009/04/19/rblog-connecting-people-once-again how I got hold of it.
Be kind, rewind
Yesterday evening we wathced “Be kind, rewind“. A bit strange I must say, but we had a good laugh. I very much agree the review written by Birger Westmo, Filmpolitiet http://nrk.no/p3/article/page/view/1.5415518 (In Norwegian)

All that was left of his car…stolen
Spring work
Espen and I went out to Vestreng today to unmount the ski boxes from our cars. I had also planned to change to summer tyres, but sadly I had to admit that they where totally stuck. Due to corrosion the wheel is stuck to the car axle. If the jack had been more stable I could have applied more pressure, but since its not I will take the car to the garage and get the tires changed there. And next winter use the proper amount of grease on the wheel to avoid this problem.

B2evolution 2.4.2
New version of B2 released today, just a minor upgrade which either you as a end user of my blog or I as an administrator/publisher will notice much of. But, always best to stay on top!
Voluntary Communal Work (Dugnad)
Today we had the yearly event of voluntary communal work in our housing cooperative. Not to much to do this year, but then Anne-Lise, or neighbor, said that she wanted to get rid of a large tree. As it turned our, I had the chainsaw and protection gear in the car, so after the neighbors had said ok I started doing my work. Note that I without 5 years of forester training school did not hurt anyone 😀
I’ve posted pictures showing what we did, press “Read more” to see the all. The first one shows how it was before we started.

A lot of Nick Cave
I must admit that I’m very in to Nick Cave for the time being. We have seven of his albums, that is still just half of all the studio albums he and The Bad Seeds have released, not counting Grinderman and such. The next album I need to buy is Murder Ballads. Currently listening to the Let Love In album.
