Changing of the Seasons - Beautiful song. It's probably right in any types of weather, but extra right when it's raining.

If you tolerate this then your children will be next - The lyrics are in my head, about politics, possibly global warming. That affects the weather too, you know.

So Real - Just try it! Perfect match.

Diskodrøv - Actually, it's not a rainy day-song, but it might fool you to not care about the weather so much the sky might as well could be blue.

Waltz - Cold rainy days, that is.

Because - Something about his voice…

The geniusity of The Director's Cut just came to me, like a light in the dark. I off course knew that this was a masterpiece before, but I when started listening to it from the start this morning, it seemed better than ever to me.

First things first: everything that starts with the theme song from The Godfather is great, movie or album. Fantômas' version is just as perfect as the original, if not even MORE perfect. It's all-mighty. Nothing less. It stuns you.
From there on, the album goes on, and you never want it to end. It's…

…and I still have it.

But when I read to my journal here, I got bored because there were so many of them. I therefor deleted them and made a promise to myself about only posting surveys on MySpace from now on. MySpace is the place for surveys, this is the place for half or hole intelligent words about music.

The End.

Yesterday I had a really great day, and much of the reason for this was this band - Asphyxsis. I got to see them live for the first (and second) time, and they were really, really good. Especially the last consert at De Røde Sjøhus impressed me a lot. They covered Led Zeppelin's Since I've Been Loving You, and it didn't sound bad at all. It sounded great, acctually, and this I say even though I got real sceptical when I found out they were going to play the song.

Anyway - check them out. Their music rules.…

You gotta love this band. Johnny Hancocks play great, progressive rock, just like people used to do in the 70's. And their drummer is a 70's-soul, which only listnends to 60's and 70's music, loving bands like Pink Floyd and The Doors. Anyway, the band has very little material available on the internet so far, but if you enter their webiste, www.johhnyhancocks.com, you can listnend to some of their music, read a little bit more about the band and stuff like that.

If you, by any reason, would want inside information about the band members, I've got lots of…

Yes yes. It's late in the evening. Tomorrow, it's back to school. This weekend I've been to Pulpit, a yearly rock festival in Stavanger, Noreway. This is the festival's second year, and this was the second time I was at the festival. Even though there were more good bands last year, I enjoyed my time at the festival better this year. Probably because of the great company. But that's not what I'm going to tell you about, no. This is a msuic site, and there for: a little bit about some of the concerts I saw during the festival.

Inspired from High Fidelity (which by the way is a great book) and Mojo, I am now going to make this list. You'll probably hate it. I'll probably hate it. Not now, but tomorrow, or the day after that. But anyway, here it goes:

5. The Strokes - Is This It
Does it fit in? Should it be here? Probably not, but I do love the Strokes, and this is a very great album, I can't just… forget about it. It's needed. It can't be removed. It has to be here.
A great song from this album: Soma

4. Kaizers…
