PUUUH! I was about to quit when I was halfway lol, I realised it was the same question over and over.
WELL I'M DONE NOW! Gonna celebrate with The Wombats now.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/Nicrolium/journal/2008/06/29/21ohcv_hovefestival_2008%21_pure_awesomeness%21 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 14:29:48 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/Nicrolium/journal/2008/06/29/21ohcv_hovefestival_2008%21_pure_awesomeness%21 A friend of mine asked me if I wanted to work at Hovefestival 5 days before the festivalstart. LOL. Of course I said yes! "Free" festivalpass. The negative side was that I didn't get to see all the concerts.
BUT I was pretty lucky and worked as a "runner". Which means that I had to walk around with journalists. So I got to see most of the concerts at work, I even got backstage pass :D I feel sorry for those who worked as toilet cleaners^^
Anyway, here goes nothing.

X = Saw because of boredom or other random reasons
[] = wanted to see, but didn't
[x] = wanted to see and did see

X - name; It was pretty cool actually.
X - Jay-Z; JAY-Z MADDAFAKKA!
X - PIRATE LOVE; garagerock with a mix of punk? didn't work for me.
[] - Les Savy Fav; People say it was one of the best concerts at Hove, and of course I managed to miss it :(
[X] - Animal Collective; TOO FUCKING COOL!
[X] - MGMT; Lol, I think the vocalist smoked a spliff on stage.
[X] - The Kooks; Too bad the drummer Paul Garred didn't come. Pisses me off that some girls came to watch one song(Ooh la) then left. Because it was probably the only song they've heard on the radio.
X - Panic at the Disco; I bet these guys have a script for what to say on concerts. "Hi, we love you guys etc." More like Picnic at the Disco!
X - Black Tide; L A M E
X - Audrey Horne; it was ok, they sound better on the radio though :P
X - Avenged Sevenfold; Used to love them when I was 13-14. Now I don't.
[X] - Pigeon Detectives; Pretty cool, although the singer did the same throwing thing with the microphone 50 times during the concert. Annoying indeed.
[] - Deerhunter; Damn, Really wanted to see them.
[X] - The Wombats; LETS DANCE TO JOY DIVISION! :D
[X] - Vampire Weekend; Greatest concert at Hovefestival 08! My new favourite band (next to my dear Arctic Monkeys)
X - Charlotte and Co Stars; Haha, I was one of the few who saw them, there was like 50 others. I feel sorry for them! The music was great :)
[X] - Thom Hell; Great music for a sunny afternoon.
X - Foals; Pretentious proggy math-rock???
[] - Band of Horses; DAMN I REALLY WANTED TO SEE THEM. Didn't get to see them because the journalist I was with wanted to film Magne F :( Fuck you NRK!
[X] - Beck; Beck looked kinda ill, not as lively as he once was. Anyway he played my 2 favourite tunes: "Devils Haircut" and "Loser".Beck jr. was on stage as well!
[X] - Flogging Molly; IRISH FOLK-PUNK FOR THE WIN! :D
X - Animal Alpha; The singer is a crazy chick, pretty cool actually :D
[] - Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong; Bad timing, same playtime as Beck :/ And obviously had to see Beck.
X - Magne F; Had to watch his show instead of Band of Horses because of work. Surprisingly, it was pretty nice.
X - Lukestar; The singar has bad humour, is fat and sings incredibly well! Cheers!
[X] - Yeasayer; EL FANTASTICO. Me and a few others made them play Sunrise!
[X] - The Raconteurs; Jack White's new band, the music is awesome, watching them live was even more awesome. Pretty funny, a guy behind me yelled JACK BLACK. I was like "Dude..." and a few other guys yelled "Babyshamles!" lol, wrong concert lads.
[X] - Sigh and Explode; I don't really like screamo/"post-hardcore", but it was pretty ok.
[] - Jaguar Love; Doh, 2 guys from The Blood Brothers in this band and I didn't get to see it :(
[] - Babyshambles; LOL WHAT A SURPRISE. Pete Doherty DECIDED NOT TO COME. He's a cunt, but he makes good music. Ok he's a wanker.
[] - Opeth; They didn't come because of illness.
[X] - The National Bank; NORWAYS BEST BAND. END OF DISCUSSION.

Don't you love the feeling when you're on a show and the person beside you looks at you and you both smiles and sings together? Best feeling in the world :D]]> http://www.last.fm/user/Nicrolium/journal/2008/06/14/20v5s8_kaizers_orchestra_live%21 Sat, 14 Jun 2008 11:44:47 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/Nicrolium/journal/2008/06/14/20v5s8_kaizers_orchestra_live%21 I went to see Kaizers Orchestra live yesterday in Haugesund. It was the best concert EVER.
They actually played for two hours straight, damn you need loads of stamina to be able to do that. Anyway, they won the crowd like always. I was so hyped up and actually jumped etc. under the whole concert. Best P.E class ever!

Got to see them again sometime :D I love Kaizers!]]> http://www.last.fm/user/Nicrolium/journal/2008/05/21/1zmez5_so_fucking_narrow%21 Wed, 21 May 2008 21:12:38 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/Nicrolium/journal/2008/05/21/1zmez5_so_fucking_narrow%21 Dude, I'm sick of people tagging crap here. Who the hell tagged Death Cab for Cutie emo? They obviously need to learn more about music, people seems to throw the word emo everywhere nowadays.
Anyway, less ranting more reviewing!

So I just went through Death Cab for Cutie's new album. Narrow Stairs.
And I've something to tell you, a secret in fact. IT'S HEAVIER. More than their previous work anyway.
All I can say is that I like it. A lot.

But it is really better than the previous albums?
Well, let's see. The album starts with a familiar sound, catchy, atmospheric and very sweeping.
And I'm almost certain that you'll like the new tunes, it's new, it's harder, but the Death Cab for Cutie feeling is still there. Trust me.

It is also important to address that Narrow Stairs is in no way the second version of Plans or Transatlanticism. If anything it's a compromise. The band isn't trying to be innovative or anything like that, but they are experimenting with the sound. It's harder as I mentioned earlier, but the element of pop is still there.

Well, I like it. Better than the old ones. So what more is there to say? Buy the album or download it, if you're a cheapskate.(like myself :P)]]> http://www.last.fm/user/Nicrolium/journal/2008/05/07/71pv6_konk...wait...what%3F Wed, 7 May 2008 12:59:19 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/Nicrolium/journal/2008/05/07/71pv6_konk...wait...what%3F Two years has passed since Inside in/Inside Out was released. The Kooks is back with a new album called Konk.
I wonder where the heck that name came from, never heard the word. Creative, I guess.

The album starts pretty nice with "See The Sun" and "Always where I need to be". Gotta say the chorus is very catchy, it's like an earworm - can't get it out of my head. The vocal is very solid, although he kinda makes some weird sounds, but I like it anyway :D (not one of my fetishes, k?)

The album starts off good, but it's too much of the same material. Gets a bit dull if you know what I mean. Too much "The Kooks'ish".

Anyway it's summer and it's good with some "happy-love-rock" to listen to. Enjoy the sun lads and lasses :) (because I surely wont *insert nerdy smiley*)

This band from Iceland called Sigur Rós is absolutely fantastic.

One day whilst chatting on msn, a friend of mine gave me this link to youtube and from that moment on I got caught :D
It's hard to discribe what they sound like, the sound is very unique and awkward, in a positive way.
So if you haven't heard this Icelandic band already, do it now! ITS AN ORDER :P
They just released a new album called Hvarf-Heim and it's really good.
Sigur Rós is now one of my favourite bands ^^]]> http://www.last.fm/user/Nicrolium/journal/2007/11/20/71pv2_tokio_hotel.... Tue, 20 Nov 2007 08:25:44 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/Nicrolium/journal/2007/11/20/71pv2_tokio_hotel.... sucks major balls.
