Metronomy is coming over

I cannot tell you for how long i have waited for these guys to come somewhat close by (on non boring soil anyway). Their 2006 album "Pip Payne (Pay The £5000 You Owe Me)" was nothing less than a masterpiece silently screaming for a just continuance. A continuance now justfied by the release of their amazing 2008 album : Nights Out, adding yet more "Yippieeee" to the discography.

Anyhoo, accordingly (and/or extraordinarily) they will be doing a one-off concert at Debaser in Malmo on the 29th of november. So if you kinda liked xxxxxx, but thought it was too fancy and dumb, you loved xxxxxx, but thought it was just politely boring, and on top of that even had one or two feverish wet dreams about something so quirky to add your deliciously retro paved panda loving 80's collage music memories (enslaved by slacker quality)...... Well i'll be damned... Metronomy should be right up your alley, and the malmo gig should bear no excuses of not attending.

To keep you toasty warm untill then, check out the Metronomy promo video and their latest official video for "Heartbreaker" from the Nights Out album.

See you in Malmo on the 29th of november.

Mutiny On The Bounty

Luxemburg 4 piece indie mathrock entourage Mutiny On The Bounty, have a new album coming up for early 2009 named "Danger Mouth". The album will boast 11 tracks of what i bet to be pure lovely madness wrapped in muscles of great musical joy. If you want some sparkles for your new dancing shoes, then head on over and check out the newly uploaded song Call Me Cheesus on their myspace page.

Are Mokkelbost

One of my most favourite people on this planet of ours, is norwegian artist Are Mokkelbost. Not only is his work intelligent, beautiful, weird, sofisticated (at times even simple) and versatile as hell, but to me deeply original in soo many ways, that i cannot help being anything but blown away by all his wonderful directions.

His work spans from mostly graphics, collages, prints, music, sound, and beyond. Musically his engagement stretches from his own private project "Single Unit" (jester records/synesthetic), the electronic trio "Arm" with Alexander Rishaug and Arne Borgan, to "KILLL" which he founded together with his brother Erlend Mokkelbost (whom also played in posthardcore band Jr Ewing), Martin Horntveth of Jaga Jazzist and Espen Hangaard. Designwise his excellence range from a wide span of styles and situations. Amongst these, album artwork for fellow countrymen Jaga Jazzist 4th album The Stix (2002).

Jaga Jazzist - The Stix


While stylish simplicity and calm aesthetics works for Jaga Jazzist, Mokkelbosts own "Single Unit" project radiates glorius technocracy. His Family Of Forces (2001) album is to me probably one of the most interesting and important pieces of art in human audio-technological history. Both artwork and "music" is by Are Mokkelbost.



Listen a couple of tracks from the album. (Can be downloaded in high quality for free over at Are's own website - B-O-R-G.org). You will even be able to find some good quality Single Unit live videos there too.




Yes, already by now you should be able to agree that he might be worth investigating for your own personal benefit. I definently recommend you to check out every little nook of his site. There is soooo much to see and so much to take in and admire. May it be him teaching the young ones the true ways of noise music, showing of installations for his next exhibit or touring with Killl. Hell.... visit his site, and follow your ears and eyes.

To topit off, heres some more snapshots from the wonderful world of Mr. Mokkelbost, courtesy of his site B-O-R-G.org).-

You are here for reason?

Blogging is way too fancy a word for what i wanna do on this basic page. I promised myself i wouldn't take it too seriously, but at the same time also swore that i wouldn't just do a dumb blog. So here's the deal. I like wasting/spending my time on surfing, i like searching for things.... i like to discover things. May they be musical, visual, verbal or none of the above. I would love to think that i am good at finding, showing and stating interesting things. I would also love to think that i could make it a better habbit, trying to document that assumption.

That being said, with me being brutally honest- Only time can tell what might be posted for you to love or dislike in here. I wont take it too serious, and i will try not being to uninteresting. Plus, minus, whatever, whenever. This is it. Welcome on over.
