REM are playing just down the street. If they just would play a little bit louder, I would get a free concert.. If I had the money, I would have been there.. Not a fan of big stadium gigs, but still.. would've be fun to be there..
Well, can't complain. This past week I've 'seen' DeLillos, Tori Amos, Tom McRae, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Cato Salsa Experience, Tift Merritt, The Hives and Roxy Music. And some smaller norwegian bands such as King Midas, Thom Hell, Auden Prim and Lukas Kasha. Really starting to like Lukas Kasha's music. Didn't get to see too much - had to spend most of my time in the hot dog booth.. But I got too see a bit..
Sunday was the best day - younger crowd.. Norwegian Wood is kind of known as the old peoples festival.. Particularly evident on saturday when CSN was the headliner. Kinda fun to watch masses of drunken 40++ going mental. Not too familiar with their music, but I had a nice time at the show.
Not too familiar with any of the bands that played this year actually. But that's what's nice about festivals. Get to see loads of bands that you normally wouldn't go to see.
Definitly want to catch a full show with the Hives some time. He's a bit Mick Jaggerish in his performance - the lead singer.. whatshisname.. Pelle something.. Wonderfully arrogant.
Cato Salsa were also very good. Probably not something I'll listen to too much at home, but going to a concert - definitly. They should maybe have mixed it up a bit more - sounded a bit too much alike after a while.
Roxy Music - wow.. hard to believe that Bryan Ferry and the guys in CSN are the same age.. he looks damn good for 60. Very elegant. Didn't recognise too many of the songs, didn't do many of their big big hits. Well, maybe they did.. But not the ones that I know anyway.. Did do Jealous guy, which I think is a very nice cover. And Pyjamarama.
Two days until I start my summer 'vacation'.. Well, kind of started already.. But I need some time off before I start working. Wish I could afford to not work one summer... But not this year.. And next year.. Hopefully I've got a steady job.

Hi! I'm back:) So how was the Tori Amos concert? Nowadays i've heard that she was raped and I think that's why she's writing these songs... Life is so ironic and unfair... Otherwise we can think about this in another reflection... I wait your opinion about this :)
Bye
Hi - thank's for dropping by.
Summer vacation and limited internet access... Don't actually know Tori Amos' music that well - so can't really comment on her lyrics.
The concert was pretty good - but I didn't get to enjoy it as much as I would have liked to. I was stuck selling hot dogs for most of it, so didn't get to see much and it's difficult to concentrate on listening to the music when people are screaming about bratwurst.
But I was determined to check out her music after. But you know how it is.. there's so much music to check up on.
Didn't know about her being raped. Will listen more to her songs.. so maybe later I will post some thoughts on her songs..
Have a good summer - or winter - if you are in the opposite hemisphere..
