6 "Shine brave captain you´ll do the right thing when you put the wrong thing right."




"Trust us" is the best motorpsycho album, and it marks that it´s six Sundays left of 2006, some might even say that it´s the last motorpsycho album.
i always play it very loud and it takes me to a new place every time, to protect my self i therefore only play it 5 or 6 times a year, and writing about it here reminds me of that it´s time to undust it and play it really loud,

so excuse me while i kiss the sky,

yours,

Herr W.

thank you nille



, in my life there are thousands of things i always have to buy, pick up, do, clean, pay for, etc, and i just realized that if i were to get all this things done i would still not have time before i die of age, like pick up the amp. that a friend takes care of in Bergen and been doing so for the last two years, or replace the beers i stole from Ms A this week. but then again it feels so good when i occasionally get one or two of these things done, like to day when i actually remembered to buy two plastic baskets for my 7".
to be honest i felt so good that i rewarded my self with the latest Hellacopters LP "Rock & Roll is dead" right now i have only played the A-side but that holds for me!

then it was Saturday, and i went to Herr O´s place he just moved to this part of town and it turned out to be right around the corner from me,
on our way out somebody found out that there was some loose boards by the door out of the backyard and guess who had to go down it to the dark...
well it was fun and i don´t think anyone have been down there for a while,


we found a bar with a jukebox, and and i played some Zappa then home to drink more and talk about all the things that old books on custom lists as issues to be avoided;
politics, art, science, and we added sex.



the best time you have drinking with friends is the ones when you don´t make plans.

Me and Herr JHK have talked about hiring an office, and to day we took action by checking out some, there were big ones and small ones,
and some how i think this might be a good thing,

to be continued,

now i need to see if i still remember the tune i made on my keyboard some minutes ago, i guess this whole office thing made me want to create things, coz we are not going to
fill that office with ordinary stuff, but what ever creative young men fill their rooms with,



yours,

H.W.

PS.
say hi to my new link,
it takes you to my good friend for many years; Herr Johannes world.

7 "we can dance like open windows in the evening breeze"



The White Birch´s " Star is just a sun" came out in 2003 and kept me, and still keeps me airborne every time i put it on, with its dusty arrangements,
solid melodies and beautiful lyrics.

it´s one of those albums you can nothing but relax to, nothing but fall in love with and of course nothing but own.

seven Sundays left of 06,

enjoy.

hw


PS thanks to my brother Herr K.W. for taking the pic, since i only have the album on my PC here in Oslo.

8 "cos we all take our chances to find out romance is in some others bed"



britpop took many shapes and the label britpop lost its impact as every single british band were hyped badly by the British press,
so after a while the audience stoped buying the britpop bands as they were crap, at least that's how i remember it.
but there were good stuff too, and ocean color scene were good, and they still are.
it´s such a solid album, great sound, great songs, they have put out great songs after this but still this is the best,
when i was a britpoper i went to see oasis at the opening of the Be Here Now tour in Oslo not knowing that Ocean color scene
was going to warm up.

hw in a hurry,

9 "The difference in the two of us comes down to the way you rise over things I just put down"



the nineties was a good decade, the movies, the books, the spirit, and above all the music,
i spent my first 16 years in suburban Kirkenes, trying to find out what there was to this world,
i don´t know if it´s harder or easier now, but this was pre Internet.
So MTV was one of the inputs i had, and it was here i was introduced to Grant Lee Buffalo, and their "Mockingbirds",
that video hit me both musically as well as it confirmed my idea of something that i like to think of as the aesthetics of the nineties,
so i went to buy the album; "Mighty Joe Moon" after having that song in my head for some time, but the album wasn´t all what i had wished for,
it took me years to figure it out, but some how this made it even more interesting coz it challenged me, i had to spend time with it, and this was a new
way for me to relate to music,

the way i see it has changed over the years, but it´s qualities as a great rock album will always stay put,

see you next Sunday.

yours,

Herr Wollmann

p.s.

finally finding Mighty Joe Moon on vinyl in Barcelona was one of the happiest day this year.
