Waiting For A Truck is officially on hiatus.
I can't really be arsed. Please visit www.frekvens.dk for music news. Or visit me on Myspace. Wednesday, October 24, 2007

Beginning to feel like home.
It's been about a month, and due to the good people at Stofa and Fona, I haven't really been able to get online until now. The good news is that my wireless internet is now up and running, the cable is on, and my laptop, dear Mr. Packard, is back home and as good as new. The motherboard, keyboard and battery has been changed, which would have set me back about 4 grand, if I had bought the insurance. And they haven't deleted my harddisc, which would have been a minor disaster, because that's where I keep all my photos and shit from the last many years. Oh and also, I've moved to my new place in Skejby, which is working out nicely. Between the daily bikerides to work, and the semi-manual labour, I've even managed to slim down a bit. While this blog has been in a coma, Frekvens.dk is finally blossoming into the beautiful, green, rose that we intended it to be, so make sure to stop by. Saturday, September 15, 2007
So, yeah, sorry about the lack of updates. A lot of shit has happened since last time, none of which is really important. A lot of moving stuff around, and hopefully I'll find my home for the next couple of years, this very sunday. In the meantime it's all about Arsenal vs. Spurs tomorrow.
In more relevant news, www.frekvens.dk has been revitalized and is finally up n' running the way God intended it to. So please do go have a look, and leave a comment. Remember, the more often you visit, the better our self esteem gets, and the better our self esteem gets, the closer we get to world domination. Returning to footie, I'm really looking forward to tomorrow (technically today), even though our stats at Shite Heart Lane aren't immaculate by a long shot. A couple of goals from midfield, my money is on Hleb, should shut them up, and no matter how you twist and turn it, our perfomances this year have been nothing short of impressive. Hopefully one of these days I'll get the chance to sit down and explain to the world why "licens" is crap and why Tom Waits is rubbish, but I can't be arsed right now. But I promise that even though there won't be regular updates for a while (stupid moving around), this blog is not dead. As Mark Twain once said: Sp*rs are c*nts." How right he was...

 Oh, to fight is to defend.... Q: Is it ever okay to condone violence? A: Yes, I believe it was okay today. I do realize that as a football spectator, watching it on the telly, you can become strangely detatched, and tend to forget that those are real people out there. That being said, I cheered loudly when Fabregas flew boots first into Gamst Pedersen, afterwhich he quite obviously had a bit of a laugh, while said Norwegian was writhing in pain. For most of the game Blackburn had applied their bully tactics, as they always do against Arsenal, and the ref seemed to have lost control of them - even if they did get quite a few cards. Having been kicked and pushed all day, it was almost beautiful to see Fab exert his revenge, only seconds after having been kicked in the head by Gamst. It reminded me of the song Fight Test by The Flaming Lips: Oh, to fight is to defend, if it's not now, then tell me when would be the time that you would stand up and be a man - for to lose I could accept, but to surrender - I just wept and regretted this moment. It was nice to see the kids step up, and demonstrate that they were no pushovers. Although only just out of his teens, Fab has started to give as good as he takes. And that, in my simple opinion, shows desire and commitment in bucket loads. On a completely different note, I'll once again recommend T-H's (who has also adopted Arsenal to be his club) weblog. It's an interesting read. Saturday, August 11, 2007
Football Time Again
Yay, it's almost time for some proper footie again. I've got my dreamteam sorted out, and soon I will start betting money like a crazy person. In the meantime, here's some good old english footie humour, featuring Hitler, who apparently supports Sheffield Utd. Also, I finally got around to watching the highly overrated Children of Men, and it's.... well, highly overrated. Thursday, August 09, 2007
Things are happening... perhaps.
I don't recall if I have mentioned it, but i bought a new laptop computer recently. I have of course already managed to trash the keypad, first with the aid of some diet coke, and again in the frantic drying session that followed. The end result is that the backwards arrow key is completely out of order, and the Num Lock key has fallen of - yet still works. The space bar takes a bit more pressure than before, and the Alt and H keys are kinda wobly. Is there any way to fix stuff like this? I have no clue. I could send it back to the shop, but I dont want to go without a computer, for what will probably be ages. Somebody help me, please. My regular go-to-guy, when dealing with computer issues, is in Africa right now, and is writing what Kasmir may refer to as a Travelblogue, called beautyof.dk. There is, as the headline suggests, some things going on right now, but I don't want to get in to them as of yet because of different uncertainties. Small, but overall positive things. For once. Uhhh, and I recently found season 1 of Sledge Hammer! on dvd, which is extremely silly, and somewhat different than I remember it. Still a good laugh though. Monday, July 30, 2007
Three easy ways to lose a couple of pounds.
It's a regular fixture in sitcoms: Some girl has to fit a certain dress for the big party next weekend, but has to lose 4 pounds or so to fit it perfectly. Over the years I have been widely recognized as a bit of a fitness guru, and I will therefore share with you some weightloss methods I have picked up over the last month or so. I have seen people use some of them, and used one myself to great effect. The excess weight will literaly fly away from you.
You may also want to buy all of your meals at airports: at £4 for a hotdog or a stale tuna sandwich, your economy will help you keep that weight in check. Wednesday, July 25, 2007
 Push me, and then shove me... So, the Benicassim festival was great fun, and even thou the weather was great, and the beer was relatively cheap, we managed to review more than a third of all the bands there. I can't be arsed to link to everything, but you should be able to find it here. Going back and forth was a bit of a nightmare, with massive delays, and Spanair managing to loose my bag on both ways. According to this article, which I wish I had read earlier, it has been a problem all summer. Absolutely scandalous. But since people apparently know about it now, it saves me the trouble of writing them the harshest letter ever. One of the hightlights of the festival was watching the Danish band Whomadewho play on the mainstage, and seemingly impress everybody. There is a blog that has their version of Satisfaction online. I have a long history of getting sick everytime I leave the country, or in fact the city, and I thought I gotten past that, but now I think I've gotten one of those travelling diseases. I won't go into details, but I feel like crap, and for some reason my ear is still clogged after the plainride. Balls! Monday, July 16, 2007
Is this love?
The weekend is coming to an end, and a pretty good time has been had. Friday night was spent watching Metallica in Aarhus, and no matter what reviewers said, I thought it was a pretty good show. Obviously there has been a lot of focus on the power outage, but really; who cares. The music was great, and they played with the usual energy. Pure nostalgia, yes, but still pretty frickin' good. The rest of the weekend has been all about relaxing at my parents' place, wayching Die Hards 1 and 2, A Mighty Wind, and Michael Rasmussen winning Tour de France (well, almost). I find it somewhat intriguing that both Anders and Stine have spent their time reading the same book. If that's not true love, I don't know what is. At some point they will undoubtedly morph into one person. Insert your own Andersine joke here... If watching Klan and Øgendahl tonight has taught me anything, it would be that comedy shows on tv aren't for everybody. What a bunch of crap. Finally, it seems that Julio Baptista is on his way to Galatasaray where he will team up with Tobias Linderoth. For some reason I think that's a bit more his skill level, than playing in Arsenal and Real Madrid. Good riddance, I say. If only Arsenal would start signing some players soon...

 When it rains it pours... So I'm back from Roskilde and as everybody probably knows, it rained quite a bit. People tell me it was the most rain ever at a Roskilde Festival, but for some reason i still remember 1997 as worse. Probably because i lived in the camping area back then. There was a great atmosphere this year, and for some reason I was in a great mood pretty much for the duration of the thing - even when my cellphone drowned and eventually died during the Killers show. When everybody else had gone home, I even went up to see Basement Jaxx alone, and have a little dance by myself. Some nice girl even gave me a couple of those sille glowsticks. I think the musical highlight must have been the Machine Head concert, even though there were many fine performances, and funny spectacles. Also I've taken the liberty of borrowing the picture from a gallery on www.gaffa.dk, because it's one of the better pictures ever taken of me. Finally, I think Steffen Jungersen has lost it completely, but more about that another time. Friday, June 29, 2007
 Blah, blah, blah... So, well yeah, I've been neglecting the old blog lately, but that doesn't mean stuff doesn't happen, I've just been too lazy/busy to update here. I bought a laptop computer, which is very fancy. I call him Mr. Packard. I haven't really come around to doing anything with it yet, so it is effectively a Football Manager machine for now. But soon will come a time when I get of my ass and start using for all the important stuff. Like downloading tv shows, and producing bootleg dvd's. Also on the new purchase list is the latest Paradise Lost album, whch is pretty much fantastic. After much hyped, but ultimately so-so releases from Type O Negative and Nine Inch Nails (and perhaps even Machine Head a bit), PL has pretty much saved my year. And I got a ticket for their show in October. Roskilde Festival is just around the corner, so apart from doing the laundry and making a Roskilde playlist on Mr. Ipod, I suspect saturday will be spent buying wellingtons and raincoat. I am looking forward to like hell though. Even if I will be sitting in the rain for the entire week, it is stil beer and music, and most importantly, it's not work. While I do like it here where I live right now, I am looking forward to moving into my new place. I look forward to having cable again, and not least running f*cking water in the kitchen. I have no idea who decided to turn of our water supply, but what a dick he was. The silverlining to having a tv antenna in the room, is that I have discovered the network SBS Net, and not least their two brand spanking new sitcoms Spin City and Fresh Prince. What a revelation! And I'm going to see the new Die Hard movie, which I have been looking forward to since I realized that cars can fly into helicopters and blow up. I quite enjoyed this Die Hard tribute song, even if it is blatantly promotional. (or so I've read.) Also I like the fact that the leadsing of the band calls himself Guy Manly. Best name since Max Power. Finally, some dude called TH14 left Arsenal for the spanish campion... well, the almost champions. He was very good, but now he's in spain, and will most likely get injured in the first half of the season as it always happens. As they say in FC Midtjylland; spillere kommer og går, fortet består. I very much doubt that the entire club will implode just because a player and a boardmember isn't there anymore. If you've read all the way down to here, you're officially bored. Get back to work you slacker! Monday, June 18, 2007
Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy - a man after midnight.
A lot can happen over the weekend. Today I accepted a brand spanking new appartment, so I have a place to live from september. It's a bit further out from the city than I could have wished for, but on the other hand it has a lot of cool features, including a sun-deck, and the fanciest kitchen in the world. Now it would just be cool if all my friends took my lead, and moved outthere as well. The football season is officially over now, with the end of the Spanish league. I expect a lot of transfer rumours in the next week, especially now that Barcelona threw away the championship. Katie Holmes was apparently at the Bernabeau, and she looks like she's 60 years old. People who hate stuff are always amusing, and so is this article. And finally a small congrats to AGF who were promoted today, only so they can be relegated again next year. Btw, can somebody please direct me to the page where Leicester fans have made songs about Jimmy Nielsen? Friday, June 15, 2007
 Swarley!I've just returned from my first ever business trip. Unfortunately there's not really a lot to see in Fredericia - though I did find the place where local Arsenal fans gather to celebrate great victories. Or so I believe, anyway. Apart from that I spent most of my time in my four star hotel room watching sit-coms and the Hitch on Tv1000. Not a good movie. Thierry Henry leaving Arsenal? Unpossible is that!

I ran into a bona fide zombie on my way home from work tonight. As I passed him outside of 7/11 he stopped walking, or dangling or what they do, looked at me with a very confused expression, and let out a dismayed "eeeerrggh" groan. He was however a very dumb zombie, as he didn't seem to realize that eating my brains is the only way to numb his pain. So I just walked on by.
Apart from the zombies, and junkies/alcoholics that hang out on Nørrealle, I really love the area where I'm living for now. It's the nicest, coolest part of Århus, and if I had all the money in the world I would buy a place right here. Too bad I don't, and I probably won't be staying here for long. Oh, and the Spot festival was pretty good, and I wrote a couple of reviews that can be found at Gaffa's website. (Hatesphere, Viva Vertigo, Deltahead and The Psyke Project.) They average at 3,75 stars out of 6, which is okay, but definitely not as generous as some of the other reviewers. Also, Half Nelson is a very good movie, with great acting. Mojn.

I'm finally pretty sure I won't be homeless when I get kicked out of the dorm - which is very good news to me. Also, it's looking like I'll hit some festivals during the summer, although not all the details are in place yet.
Zodiac was very cool, and with a great cast. The George Michael show was pretty entertaining, largely due to the enormous, jumbotron bigscreen. The music was as bland as you would imagine. Sunday, May 20, 2007
Like the Lone Gunmen?
Swedish TV is showing The Original Kings of Comedy right now. I've seen it before, and it's brutally unfunny. It turns out that the difference between black people and white people is that black people are really wild and funny, whereas white people boring and unfunny. Very original. Also, there can only be one king of anything: Elvis = King of rock and roll. Michael Jackson = King of pop. Four different kings of comedy working at the same time? That shit don't fly. Especially when the only one of them who is actually funny is Bernie Mac. Monday, May 14, 2007
Now, where's Andrew Ridgely?
In a bizarre twist of faith our team lost the pubquiz tonight, and are thereby pretty much doomed to second place oblivion. BUT, and that's a pretty big but, I somehow managed to win two tickets to the George Michael concert on saturday. I am honestly a bit baffled about the entire thing, but I suspect that it will be fun, and I'm actually looking forward to it. Good stuff. Sunday, May 13, 2007
Rubbish Season.
Well the Arsenal's season is finally over, and it ended in a way that's very symptomatic for all of the season. While Liverpool couldn't win, Arsenal wasted a great chance to finish third. Baptista, who has been dissapointing all season, missed a penalty, which is realy as big a chance as you can get. Against David James even, who is legendarily rubbish. It's been a season to forget. The Puls festival was quite funny though, although perhaps a bit hard on the economy and the liver. Thursday, May 10, 2007
 I don't really know what Sorry means. I've been listening to Draconian Times by Paradise Lost today, and it still amazes me how ahead of its time it was. It's quite simply brilliant, and if it had come out today reviewers would have soiled themselves with exitement. Perhaps even moreso, if they hadn't looked like five plonkers from Halifax. I really, honestly and truly believe that everytime a young dude walks into a Matas store, looking to buy an eyeliner for his goth outfit, the clerc should sit him down and force him to listen to Draconian Times, Icon, Shades of God, and not least Gothic. Anyone under 25, who hasn't heard Gothic by PL, should forever be ousted from the Goth community. And perhaps even society in general. Maybe that's a cause for Ny Alliance. If so, they have my vote.

Lazy Days.
This long weekend thing is really very nice. I had a couple of beers thursday after work, and yesterday I saw Sunshine, which was pretty good but far from outstanding. The editing was really cool, and Cliff Curtis (who played Paolo Escobar in Blow) was very cool in it. I also saw the trailer for Die Hard 4.0, which features a police car flying into a helicopter and exploding. And they blow up the White House. I'm so going to see that movie. Today I'll try to catch some sun, and go see Hayseed Dixie. And then tomorrow: Arsenal vs. Chelsea. For now I'll go have some very bacony breakfast. Good stuff. Thursday, May 03, 2007
 This ain't a scene...It seems a lot of people are neglecting their blogging duties. Not Anders O though, who has returned to the land of internet-aplenty. (Still waiting for the housewarming invite though.) Honorable mentions also go to Jones who is busy looking at Youtube. I'm still looking for a place to live, which is a huge bummer. It seems there's a city-wide conspiracy to have me living on the streets by the end of the month. So please feel free to help out in anyway you can. On the plus side, I'll start my days as a hobo by going to the Spot festival on the day I'm kicked out of my dorm. I'm also going to be reviewing Hayseed Dixie when they play in Aarhus on saturday. I'm not sure what to expect, could go either way. It should be fun though. Finally, my goth/industrial theme for the Tour de Chambre went really well, although as the picture will show I looked more like a Fall Out Boy than a proper goth. Oh well... Saturday, April 28, 2007
Old hat.
Had I been ten years old, this would have been the wildest tv night ever. So far they have shown Terminator, Aliens, Poltergeist, and RoboCop 2. Unfortunately I'm not ten anymore, and alas it's all pretty much old hat. There's absolutely nothing on, that I haven't seen a million times. Thursday, April 26, 2007
Deny your body is screaming.
I remember watching the video for Black Lodge by Anthrax when it came out in the early 90's, and thinking it was cool and kinda creepy. And I'm pretty sure that's Killer Bob from Twin Peaks playing the main character . Yesterday I then realized that the girl who is kidnapped and experimented upon is really Dharma Finkelstein. Sad to see how her career went downhill after that... Wednesday, April 25, 2007
Some fact about the flu.
Symptoms include Tuesday, April 24, 2007
The Queen (and I'm not talking about Hellen Mirren) is a gooner - I'm not sure if that's good or bad.
One thing that definitely suck is that I think i'm getting really sick. All signs point towards Avian Flu - or Monkeypox. Saturday, April 14, 2007
Geeks.
Apparently mixing Star Trek movies with different stuff is all the rage these days. So here we have The Trekkies singing the Camelot song: And Shatner and Nimoy doing their rendition of Nine Inch Nails' Closer: Monday, April 09, 2007
Shortest Strawaargh.
I recently got a Gillette Fusion razor in a publicity thing up at the university. I am extremely pleased that it actually has 6 blades. 5 on the front and one one the back. And just for that increbible reason, one of the funniest articles on the internets gets yet another link on this humble blog. Also I have decided that everybody should have the oportunity to listen to Snowgoons whenever they want, so Shortest Straw is now available on Youtube, along with the million dollar video. Coincidentally the entire album Metal Militia vol. 3 can be bought here, here, and here. Also, some Spanish guy has made the entire album available for download here, along with bands like Pantera and Paradise Lost, whish is of course deeply immoral and just downright rotten behavior.

 Bow Down Before the One You Serve. So, we had an absolutely brilliant time in Copenhagen. The Nine Inch Nails show was great (reviews here and here.), a good time was had, I got to try the Nintendo wii, and eat two great hamburgers, including a half pounder at the diner Sporvognen, where the picture of Morten and me was taken. And no, he hasn't been in a fight. English football is, on the other hand, dead and burried to me. Until next season. Merry easter everybody. Hopefully Arsenal, much like Jesus, will soon rise from the dead. Wednesday, March 21, 2007
You're in trouble...
Studies show that Danish teenage girls would rather wet themselves that use public/school bathrooms. Teenagers nowadays don't know what's good for them. When I was a kid, the world was my toilet. Spoiled brats. Wednesday, March 14, 2007
Appartment hunting.
I know this is a bit naïve, but I'm looking for a new place to live in the Aarhus area, so if you know of anything, anybody, or anywhere that could be of interest, please let me know. Sunday, March 11, 2007

I have just found out that Walter Schreifels (of Quicksand, Rival Schools and Walking Concert fame) lives in Berlin now, and apparently plays some live acoustic shows around Europe, so I propose a campaign to haul his ass up to Aarhus and play. Really, that shouldn't be to much to ask?
So go here, to mailbomb him, or listen to acoustic demos. Monday, March 05, 2007

Oh, Something to talk about.
Now this is just good journalism - the proof that referees hate Arsenal. Anders has a video of the experimental cooking that happened at Super Bowl - delicious. And speaking of delicious, or even Fergalicious, am I the only one who's just a wee bit tired of that Fergie girl? It's like she uses every single to prove that she's not completely dyslexic. It's all T to the A to the S T E Y, and I'm the F to the E, R, G, the I, the E, and in the new single she's all G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S. That's really great Fergie, we all know you can spell by now. But if we listen to your lyrics, we also know that you rhyme Promiscuous with Suspicious, and that shit don't fly. Just because words look alike, they don't necessarily rhyme; much like Though and Cough. Conclusion: Fergie can spell, but not rhyme - and ipso facto not rap. Case closed. Friday, March 02, 2007
Have You Lost It?
Utah is a band from Skanderborg, and they are very big in Skanderborg, and most of Skanderborg visits Aarhus when Utah play in Aarhus. How big they are in Aarhus is hard to judge, but they are definitely very big in Skanderborg. They played a fairly good show tonight, of which the highlight was Break The Mould (pssst, it's on their Myspace), but some of the other stuff I didn't quite get. The song Alien Battle does however sound a lot like Tigger by Peter Sommer (also from Skanderborg! Coincidence??) and Everything For Free by K's Choice (From Belgium... coincidence!) And some stuff apparently went down in Copenhagen tonight, but if I do nothing it'll probably go away. Things have away of working themselves out like that. Thursday, March 01, 2007
"What's twenty quid to the bloody Midland Bank?"
It is with some concern I've started noticing striking similarities between myself and the Scottish poet Ewan McTeagle. I've started catching myself mumbling incoherently while walking around town, often reciting one of his poems. For instance: Can I have fifty pounds to mend the shed? I'm right on my uppers. I can pay you back When this postal order comes from Australia. Honestly. Hope the bladder trouble's geting better. For more on McTeagle go here. Also, for some interesting stuff about Mark Hughes, go here. Thursday, February 22, 2007
    Open up and say ahhh! While flipping through the latest issue of Gun Action (Danish Arsenal Fanzine), I realized the key to being a good footballer: Open mouths! Out of the 50+ featured pictures of players in action, only about 8 was of people with closed mouths. That's the kind of empirical evidence you can't just discard. If you doubt me, take a look at the evidence to the right: One is the best player in the world, with his mouth more open than we thought possible - the other is a whiny girlscout. Need i say more? It is possible that the same rule applies to rock n' roll guitarists, but I haven't had time to gather much evidence yet, except from the obvious one. Wednesday, February 21, 2007
 The current much hyped blizzard is quickly turning out to be a bit dissapointing. Not many people will be able to miss work because of this. I was just watching VH1, and they played My Name Is Luca by Suzanne Vega. I wasn't very old when it came out, so I've never really listened to the lyrics before. Man, she got her ass kicked. I always thought it was a nice, happy tune about Luca and her pet dog, or something like that. Well, you live and learn, I suppose. Thursday, February 15, 2007
I just found the Demetri Martin comedy show Person which is very funny. So get it while it's hot, and still there for you to see.

I think I'm going crazy, but it's not the kind of crazy that you're into.
It's hard to say anything intelligent about Anna Nichole Smith, but Yahoo News gives it a go. Uhh, and you can listen to 3 Local H demos on their website. Hurray for Local H. Thursday, February 08, 2007
Roy is so broke that....
... if he was a girl, he would be called Broke Shields. ... if he was a journalist, he would be Tom Broke Aww. ... the people from Angela's Ashes are making fun of him. ... the guys from Benetton use his picture for their commercials. ... if he was a gay western, he would be Broke Ass Mountain. ... etc, etc, etc...
Nicklas Bendtner is a bit of a dope - not because he likes to party, or drink, or womanize. Because he dreams of Barcelona or Real Madrid. D'oh!
New albums fom Nine Inch Nails, Type O Negative, and Paradise Lost in 2007 - could this be the year of Roy?? Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. Wednesday, January 31, 2007
That's it. I'm now an Esbjerg supporter. I have just realised that they have signed former Arsenal (not so) giant Igors Stepanovs. Next transfer window: Nelson Vivas!
I actualy saw EFB coach Troels Bech being co-commentator at a Latvia game some years ago, where he kept praising Papa Stepa. I kept wondering why he didn't just buy him, since Stepa couldn't possibly be too expensive... Good stuff. Oh, and as I'm writting, Arsenal lead 3-1 against Sp*rs. Even better stuff. Monday, January 29, 2007
This truly is the miracle of Youtube. I found the entire 2004 short movie I Am Stamos. Good stuff.

I'm reasonably sure that Caspar Christensen once stole this bit and used it in Safari, only with Lyngby instead of Liverpool. And the right winger with the great technique was called Skavenius. Anyway, it's classic stuff, so enjoy.

This blog is slowly turning into a collection of silly YouTube clips. Today's clip is about Paolo Di Canio pushing a ref some years ago. Classic stuff.
For those who haven't heard, I got a 9 for my dissertation on Bill Hicks which is very decent in my book. Friday, January 19, 2007

World Domination is just around the corner.
Frekvens. dk has been approved by Liga, formerly Liga.dk, so they now have a link to us along with their links to Pitchfork, Allmusic, Drowned in Sound, Soundvenue and Gaffa. Also, on Liga's website you can download a song by Beta Satan, who sound really heavy and cool on their Myspace page. Monday, January 15, 2007
30.000 malcontent customers served...
The ol' weblog reached 30.000 hits today. I think keeping a blog is a lot like playing Sim City: You start with nothing and then you go from there, building something that serves very little purpose except to keep yourself entertained. Like Sim City you can't really compete against others, and no matter how long you keep playing, you never win, or reach a logical conclusion. So really it's just a question of when you get tired of it, or when an upgraded version of the same game comes around to keep you occupied. Having survived the Myspace-craze of 2006, I guess I'll keep this blog for a while until something better comes around. Also, a woman is a lot like a refrigerator; They're big, they're about 400 pounds.....they make ice. No wait, a woman is a lot like a beer. They smell good, they look good, and you'd step over your own mother just to get one. But you can't stop at one, you have to drink another woman. Sunday, January 14, 2007
I've never been a big fan of U2, but I think their new video (Window in the Sky) is really cool. After having seen it a couple of times, it struck me that at about 0:48 that's John Stirratt, the bassplayer from Wilco. Is it just me, or is that a pretty obscure person to line up in a video next to Sinatra, The Clash, Nirvana and the rest? Don't get me wrong, I like Wilco, but they're hardly quite as iconic as old blue eyes. Anyway, here's the video, if you haven't seen it yet.
Just because Robbie Savage once again proved himself to be a right bastard yesterday, here's a videoclip from Soccer AM of him being knocked out at different occasions.
and of course the ref knocking him down and being sent off. Saturday, January 13, 2007
 I decided to cut my own hair yesterday.The jury is still out on how succesful it was, but at least it was cheap. In other news, I still haven't discovered how to take a decent photo, or to pose for one.  Wednesday, January 10, 2007
Hurray, another sound beating of Liverpool, and this time with goals from the most unlikely sources. 4 from The Beast, one from Rigobert Song's nephew and one from forgotten man Aliardiere (Shake your foundation!). All three players, who I have previously claimed were far from good enough to play for Arsenal. Oh well, I guess they bought themselves some goodwill. To put that into perspective, I also claimed that Kim Vilfort and John Jensen were far from good enough to play at Euro '92.
I do suspect, however, that it won't be long before Dudek is fired from Liverpool. And I mean fired, as in how Ceausescu was fired from Romania. (Artist rendering)  Sunday, January 07, 2007
Heeey Brother. *updated*
 Well, there's not really a lot to say about this. Liverpool coach Benitez is officially Buster from Arrested Development. With the help of a very expensive and complicated computer animation apparatus, I have created an image of what would be the result if you were to create a person based on the two subjects' combined DNA. It's the stuff of science fiction novels.  Of course this task would call for some sort of animatronic body. According to the very expensive animation apparatus, this is how Buster Benitez is going to look in a not so distant future. I think it's about time to colonize that moon, and get the hell out of here now. 
Oh glorious day!
Even though I feared the worst, I was quietly confident before today's FA Cup clash, and all fears were put to rest by three flashes of brilliance, although it was hardly a fantastic team effort. And I had a bit of faith in Rosicky, after watching his World Cup goals earlier in the afternoon. It was however incredibly annoying to hear former gooner John Faxe Jensen rooting for Liverpool, and raving about the incredible skills of Daniel Agger. Luckily, Henry made Agger, and the rest of the Liverpool defence, look a bit silly for the third goal, which the danish media has collectively failed to mention. At one point Agger passed the ball over the left sideline, which according to Faxe was everybody ele's fault. Oh well... Afterwards we went to see The Prestige which is very cool, and relatively exciting, if perhaps overly constructed and very unlikely. That Christopher Nolan doesn't really make bad movies does he? And it was cool to see David Bowie play good old Nikola Tesla, and it is nice to see a movie portray Thomas Edison as a complete bastard. None of that "thanks for inventing the lightbulb" here. (Edison electrocuted Topsy the elephant! How psycho do you have to be, to do that??? Unfortunately that's not in the movie.) Now I'll just kick back and watch some Wildcard NFL games, and marvel at the fact that I have so far kept my "no alcohol in january" resolution. How nice. Thursday, January 04, 2007
Nessie, no need to cry.
There's been nothing to do today, so I decided to walk around my old hometown of Søften. Literaly, I walked in a circle around it on the "omfartsvej" which takes about an hour. I wanted to take a picture while out there, to show exactly how isolated it is. It kinda reminded me of rural Ireland or Scotland. When I came home I was surprised to see that I had apparently caught the legendary, and elusive, Loch Søften monster on camera, although it obviously moves to fast to be seen by the naked eye. So without further ado, here's a picture of a field in Søften, and Nessie's distant cousin. 
Oh Lord!
It seems that Pat Robertson has once again picked up his secret red telephone and contacted headquarters. This time God has told him that there will be a large terrorist strike in America in late 2007. It should be noted that this is the same person who the almighty told to run for President in 1988 (We all remember the Robertson/Jesus '88 campaign bumperstickers), and who quoted same deity for saying that the war against Iraq would be "a:) a disaster and b:) messy". Even on the grand scale on which Jahve operates, I still believe "messy" is a bit of an understatement. Uh, and he also described feminism as being a: "Socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians". Now, the last does not actually have anything to do with this story, I just thought it was funny. Oh, and he also claimed he could legpress 2000 pounds. In other words, he can't look into the present, and let alone the future. But he sure is funny. For more completely biased Robertson fun, look at Wikipedia, or perhaps go here.
