Love Begins To Write a Book Across My Face

Welcome to my sick journal.
Today I went to the doctor who told me that I have to stay home from work for yet another week, since I seem to have coughed myself to some Bronchitis. So now I am eating anitbiotics and drinking cough medicine. Life's a beach.
So that pretty much means back to the book and the movies.

Todays playlist (so far):

Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde
A Place To Bury Strangers - Exploding Head
Baxter Dury - Lee Parrot's Memorial Lift
Pan Sonic - Kesto
Blue For Two - Songs From a Pale and Bitter Moon

Tight Pants.

Still sick.
Still bored.
Still reading the same book.

This means that I really do not have anything to say at all. I have not left the apartment since Friday night last week. I am feeling better but am still sick, and my cough is still pretty bad.
So, here is what I have listened to so far today (and I have been up since 7:30AM):

Iggy Pop and James Williamson - Kill City
The Stooges - Olympic Studios 1972
Final - Reading All the Right Signals Wrong
Ministry - The Last Dubber
Grandpaboy - Mono

What I listened to today.

Iggy Pop - Live At the Channel Boston 1988
Iggy Pop - Zombie Birdhouse
Iggy Pop - Soldier
Bailter Space - Vortura
The Black Heart Procession - Six
Beak> - Recordings
Shrinebuilder - Shrinebuilder

Happiness Is A Warm Gun

Nothing much new here in the apartment of swineflu.
Saw Jumper yesterday, and that was not very good at all.
Saw K2 and that was not very good either. BUT the climbing and the views were amazing and made it worth the whole thing. But, jesus, the plot and the acting. Oh no.
Today I have lined-up Enemy of the State and Enigma.
And yes, you have all guessed right, I am just seeing a bunch of old movies I have allready seen. The reason for this is that I can not concentrate very well, I really feel like shit and I do not want to waste a good movie I have not seen.
Having said that though, I am really looking forward to both Enemy and Enigma, two movies I remember liking a lot.

Listened to the new Shrinebuilder yesterday and that sounded pretty good. I need to give it some more time though.
Right now I am watching different shows on You Tube from the Flaming Lips curated ATP earlier this year. Man, that was a good line-up.

Over and out.

Take it outside, Godboy!

Went and saw The Jesus Lizard on friday and I can easily say that that was one of the best shows I have ever seen. It might help that they are one of my favorite bands and that I had never seen them before. But still, they were so insanely tight and the setlist was just perfect.

In other sadly more boring news it seems like I have gotten the swineflu. I am spending all my awake time in the sofa watching movies, Scrubs and reading Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. So far the book is pretty great, but it is hard to read when you can not really concentrate like you are used to.
This means that I am home from work for a couple of days or at least until the fever is gone and I can get out a entire sentence without coughing up my lungs. Which on the other hand is pretty nice for Anna because it means that I am mostly quiet.
Anyway, I do not have time for this writing blog thing right now, so much to do, so little time.
I need to blow my nose, drink some water, watch some TV......

Radioaktivität.

No, still no way of fixing my ringtone problem, so I am deserting that project for now. It feels like I should have better things to do.
Like getting excited about the fact that I will see The Jesus Lizard tomorrow, one of my absolute favorite bands. And more importantly, one of the few bands I still have not seen. By the time I discovered them they were on a big label, made lackluster albums and broke-up. But from what I have read, heard and seen on YouTube indicates that they are in rare form right now. So cross your fingers for a great show tomorrow.

Listening to: Kratftwerk.

Oh, one more thing.
The new Rammstein single is a great, great disappointment. How come that band has the potential to such greatness and at the same time sinks to such low, low depths? They really can suck when they want to.

With Teeth.

So Juliette Lewis stood me up again.
She was supposed to call me at 18.00 and at 18.14 the recordcompany got a email that said that Juliette did not have time for a interview. They will supposedly work out another date, but we will see, I do not have a lot of faith. To bad because her album is really good.

I got my iPhone yesterday and I am still trying to figure out how to change the ringsignal, right now I feel this will never happen. I mean, I can change to one of the ones that are in the phone, but not to anything else. Not that it is important, but in a world where everyone has a cellphone that constantly rings I need a signal that sticks out. At work the other day a phone rang and me and 4 others took out our phones. I do not need that. But then again, who really cares anyway.

Saw Watchmen the other night, and loved it. Really cool movie that looked amazing and was insanely faithfull to the book. And the opening titles where the best I have seen in a long, long time.

Listening to: Mike Oldfield - Five Miles Out

Up the Irons.
See you on tour.

To Fix The Gash In Your Head

Friday, oh you beautiful friday. Work really sucked today, but it did not matter since it was friday. It is weird how you can take shit and just deal with all the crappiness just becasue you know it is friday and you have two days off.
The Juliette Lewis interview never happened, but I am supposed to try again on tuesday, so we will cross our fingers for that. But I did interview Alberta Cross and a Swedish band called Penny Century. Both went pretty well.
Otherwise I have mostly been reading and listening to a bunch of new albums that I did not have time with earlier.
The good stuff: The Big Pink, Juliette Lewis, Jesaiah, The Bear Quartet, Goatwhore, Jamie T, Kings Of Convenience.
The really good stuff: A Place To Bury Strangers
The bad stuff: Sax Ruins and about 5 German death metal albums that all sounded the same.

Great show, that sadly collapsed after 45 minutes. But up until then, just a really good, nicelooking party.

Hang Them All.

Busy, busy week.
Yesterday I was supposed to interview Juliette Lewis, but that never happened so now I am waiting for a new time. But I will on the other hand interview Alberta Cross in about 2 hours. And then after that I am going to go and see Teddybears. That will be fun, I have not seen them for quite awhile.
And tomorrow Anna and I will go camping in the woods for the weekend, so cross your fingers that we will not get any rain.

Well, I need to go and prepare my interview.
