1 "I do I do all that I could, I do I do all that i should"

this album starts with a rhythm that turns in to a locomotive that runs sometimes fast sometimes slow, but always like a train; steady, safe and devoted through the whole album.

so what happened,
well i was too restless and to curios to stay a punker for the rest of my life therefore i listened to roxrevyen on NRK to get those long sought after new impulses that can be so scarce when you grow up in a town like Kirkenes,or any small town, and one evening it was there, 22 Pistepirkko´s "Rumble City La La Land", and the train started up and i thought to my self "I´ll rather be on that train than stand here at the station", and what a ride it has been, not only great concerts, nice albums before and after rumble city, but also to get to know the guys, etc.
but first of all this album that is so great that everyone should own a copy and join the ride; flout through "Oo my head", rock with "Tokyo tiger", get carried away by "Snowy Dave", go to the top with "Gimme some water" and be led safely to the ground after soaring by "Coffee girl".

the album is soon sold out, the Bands web shop have some copies left, and shops have it but soon it will be sold out,
the company is planing to re-releases it as a double with extras, but till then,

løp og kjøp,

thanks for following, and commenting, please continue,

a happy new year to all of you,

i don´t collect vinyl, i collect music, and that´s actually two different things. The way i see it you can collect vinyl without owning a turntable, but you can´t, in my case, collect music without owning one, coz i happen to buy most of my music on vinyl.
the thing with collecting music on vinyl, is that you can buy a lot of music cheap(that goes for the second hand vinyl), you can dig in to labels one have only read about etc.
the bad thing about collecting music on vinyl is that you hardly buy any new albums, and if you do they will be very expensive.

going home to kirkenes for x-mas didn´t only bring me to my family buy it also reunited me with my collection, here lucky withno8 and no 6 from the countdown.

though the best thing with buying vinyl is that i can wear my home made vinyl bag...

2 "I wish I could cry on demand, Boo Hoo, Boo Hoo"

The best album released in 06 is also the second best album i own.
And i had been waiting for this album, i was so ready for it and when it came bought it and ran home to find out what the boys had put together this time, and what came out of my speakers was a set of nice songs, and i thought ; OK so that´s it nice songs, well i can live with that, but after a while they started to grow and before i knew it Gomez´s How We Operate was all i could think of, it was simply the best the best album i had heard in years, it was even close to knock down my all time No1, but i didn´t, and you have to wait till new years eve to find out what that is,

till then i wish you all a merry x-mas,

and see you again in a week,

Yours,

Yes i´m a collector, i guess some are and i got it bad, i collect all kinds of stuff and the funny thing about collecting is that when you have collected for some time and look at what you have bought over the years it tell not only the story about you collection but also the story about you and how your focus have changed and how you have managed to specialise with in the a curtain thing, like me; i started collecting tableware from the 70s then i went to collect only one label and now i only collect this one decor which you can see from the pic.

The thing with this decor is that i don´t know anything about it except from the info i can find underneath the teapot:
UNIQUE,
HAND PAINTED,
EGERSUND
NORWAY
DESIGN:
K. BLOKK JOHANSEN
1973
DETERGEN PROOF
And that's about it. Well i know that Porsgrunn Porselen bought Egersund in the mid70s and had it shut down.
I don´t know what pieces this set holds and i can´t find it anywhere either, so everytime i find a new piece it´s like x-mas and it was when i on Wednesday entered fretex in Kirkenes and found two pieces that i didn´t know existed; a bowl for sugar and two coffee cups, from before i had only teacups, and those of you who know me well know that i´ll rather have bad coffee instead of good tea, so i was nice to finally find coffee cups.


What will i find next?
nobody knows.
but if anyone knows anything about this decor please let me know.

3 "När jag blir nyfiken står tiden still"

few things makes me angrier than people that thinks that Bob Hund is some kind of joke, or a humour band, coz they are not,
there is a lot of humour to them, but you don´t have to look very close to discover the beauty, seriousness and the melancholy that makes this band
and their album "Omslag: Martin Kann" to one of the best at least in my world.

The first song i heard from this album was "Düsseldorf" and i thought i was up for a party when i bought the CD, but soon discovered the bitter sweetness
that runs through it all, by the way; the same bitter sweetness that keeps me playing it over and over again ten years later.

yes my friends we have entered the top tree,

and i think i can hear 07 knocking ,

stay tuned,

love,

Papa`s got a brand new bag,

Nothing is like buying a new bag,
first you have to decide what this bag is for and what buttons you are going to wear, etc.
The buttons are one Atomic Moonboots (my good friend Ted Helmets imaginary band, said to be the best in the world) the one from my good friend Espens less imaginary photopage Heia Espen.

my new bag used to be in the army but it is retired now, at least it only used to contain a gas mask and not ammo.
now it contains my note book, pen, sewing kit, headset and two carbine hooks.

so now me and my bag are hanging out , we go to concerts, bars, have coffee and buy x-mas presents.

here on the way to work with line5.

4 "The innocence of sleeping children dressed in white and slowly dreaming stops all time"

no it can´t be! only 4 Sunday's left of 06, well, then it have to be a good record in this space and it is,
Cure´s "Faith" is one hell of a record, i was released the very year i was born, and contains some of the best cure songs ever like "All cats are gray" and "The funeral party",
when i first discovered it i found it so great that i couldn't listen to it, still i loved it so much that i had to, so i ended up listening to it only once a week and that was Saturday night, then i would play the vinyl and look at the the gatefold sleeve, yes you heard right a gatefold sleeve, but it wasn´t released with a gatefold sleeve you say, oh yeah it was, in two country's; Australia and Norway!
and i got the Norwegian edition, of course,

see you next Sunday,

yours
