How to remix a movie

Whisperlude is a remix of the movie 'A Little Of Princess', comprising harp sections, sound effects and vocal syllables recorded from the film. If the music doesn't get to you, you are seriously disconnected with the little girl inside you. Listen with your eyes closed - or open.

I have to admit that I have never heard of Pogo before, but I am sure there is so much more brilliance to find at www.pogomix.net

Thank you

In the Light Of the Black Hole

A modest tribute to Nine Inch Nails masterpiece 'Head Like a Hole' from Pretty hate Machine?

"No you can't take that away from me 

Head like a hole. 

Black as your soul" - Trent Reznor

"Black hole, black hole, are your two eyes as empty as they look?

All along I thought I was giving you my love but you were just stealing it

Now I want every single thing you took" - Josh Ritter

Just, wow!

Nine Inch Nails you can't pull out!

Nine Inch Nails: Down In It (Remastered) from Nine Inch Nails on Vimeo.

One of the best albums from the decade. An eternal classic in my record collection.

Gayngs + Glasser Play Live

Who is that singing in Auto-Tune, everybody? Who is that getting eaten by a slug, Mike Noyce of popular folk band Bon Iver? What’s up Glasser!? Where are the 13 remaining members of Wisconsin supergroup Gayngs? Our favorite part is when Glasser’s being all guttural in that first break and somebody sneaks in a little “Baby…” It’s not in the original version and we’re glad about that, we’ll whisper it next time and pretend it was our idea. Frontiersman of smooth, every one of you.

When in Denmark you will come across a lot of things to laugh at.

But some things are more innocent than others. There are different blogs in Denmark who share those experiences and others, on being an foreigner in Denmark.

Do you get it - idiot?

I am a big fan of Green Days album and everything it stands for - especially with 'American Idiot'.

But watching the musical cast perform 'American Idiot' live in the studio - makes something break in me.

This type of MTV choreographed attitude singing and dancing, without the set and effects, shows the unbearable truth about attitude, the vanity of youth, commercializing of a rebellion and the polished PC of The United States of America.

Why couldn't they have taken 'real' people who could enact the.. oh i don't know.. At least people who get pist of bye the 'agenda' and oppose to it- no matter how ugly or un-political correct it may look.

Jugde for your self:

Robyn says - I feel it!

This song get's me going every time. I feel every single word of it, like the girl I am!

Can't sleep, it's killing me 

My dreams are killing me 

The TV is killing me 

My talking's killing me 

Let go, you're killing me 

Ease up, you're killing me 

Calm down, you're killing me 

My god, you're killing me

Update: In the summer of 2014 I ended up sharing a one hour car ride with Robyn. I told her to do nothing but chill in the car. Cool?

Straight Aces bad Boys rock mixtape/podcast

I trawl the net for music everyday - because I can't help it. 

It's the last drug I have left and it still makes my heart beat faster.

So when I discovered this! I was all smiles up to both ears and my imaginary long hair got tossed around the house and my fingers played the air guitar til they bled - this is AWESOME!

You think you know someone - Chris Hardwick

Attack of the Hardwick
I've been watching G4 for 4 years and I am currently following Attack of the Show with different hosts. One of the nerdiest gadgets specialist is Chris Hardwick.


Give the man some credit!
Now, I often felt like Chris didn't get enough credit for he's wits and humor on the show, but he always stays cool and continue reviewing the product, no matter what they throw at him! So I felt kind of sorry for him. But it turns out, he is doing just fine.
Today I was watching Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines - surprisingly starring Chris Hardwick! At first I couldn't place he's face, but then I had to laugh out loud, since he looked kinda chubby and with a hair cut..(!) There must have been a stylist..



The Nerdist
So, I turned to Wikipedia and it turns out Chris has a amazing career as an actor, television personality, writer, musician, comedian and DJ on KROQ in Los Angeles!!
Realizing all this is going to make me look different on his Attack of the Show performance in the future and he just might replace my virtual stalking of Kevin Rose.

So if you are out there reading this Chris. I am 100% behind you and wish you all the nerdiest super powers in the world. Peace..

It says it all..

'once in a life time' twice

Guilty pleasures are usually artist you are a bit embarrassed to like, but what if nobody knows them? 
I am not at all embarrassed about these to rock acts, especially if they get approved by lovely ladies.
It's very rare to meet people with a deacent rock and roll history that goes beyond the American/British hard rock. And it's practically once in a lifetime that they are women.


I had a 'once in a life time' twice last week
I was wearing my Danko Jones t-shirt to my daughters kindergarden - with the 'Born a Lion' logo - when a mother approached me with a thumbs up to Danko Jones (Canada). I didn't catch her name, but she's originally from Hamburg, Germany.



She actually knew them personally and went to a couple of concerts - sweet!


On satureday I attended Martin and Lisbeth wedding in Hansted, next to Horsens, DK.
That's when I met Peta and Justin from Australia. Coincidently AC/DC was playing in Horsens that very same day and they felt all at home. Everybody agreed that AC/DC live was great for a traditional danish wedding (not ;-), but I couldn't help asking about my favorite oldschool badboys rockband from Australia - Rose Tattoo.



Peta didn't just know them, she actually played a couple of supporting jobs with them - how cool is that?!!
Of course I stuck to Peta and Justin for the rest of the night (like a Rose Tattoo), since they had the best taste in music ;0)


However, only Peta had heard of The Temper Trap (Aus). I hope I inspired them to check them out when they got back.

With that experience shared, I'll end this post with a Rose Tattoo quote:

"Bad girls love bad boys, but good girls love 'em too" - I hope ;0)
