Hi People of the internet.

Once again the gun shoots.
This time in a more non-bulletin’ish way than normally.

I went to the Leonard Cohen show on friday in Copenhagen.
Coehn is one of my all time favourites. I have listened to these songs since the album ‘The Future’ came out.
I remember my mother and her sister gave each other the record for christmas – accidentally.

Anyway, it was a fantastic concert. Now there are some serious lyrics for ya. Go home Gun.

In the row in from of me sat a man with his two children. I guess the boy and girl must have been about 20. The father was insanely drunk. I mean REALLY embarrasing. Not like a teenager at a punk show who’s having a good time. This was something else. The kids were obviuosly used to this. They ignored him for most of the time. But you could see it hurt them.

He was constantly talking and making stupid noises. And he kinda groped his daughter also. Really nasty.

What touched me so much about this was his childrens reaction. I mean, they tried not to think too much about it, but it was clear that they didn’t exacly enjoy it. I can’t believe you would wanna hurt your family this way. There is help to get for these problems. Do not alienate your family this way. He asked them if they wanted to come home with him. They refused.

The song is about this evening. Not very specific, but you can pretend it makes sense.

Anyway, the blog will soon be moving to new surroundings. Keep an eye out. And don’t dispair it your rss-reader is empty. I will tell you what to do.

As Time goes By

I turned on the black light bulp when I got home
I begged you for mercy on the phone
Then I fell down

My friend is a lover who can’t go wrong
Forever I must be singing her song
Time and again

There is a crack in everything
That is why the rain keeps pouring in

As time goes by
As time goes by

Drill me a hole for my sorrows to lend
Dance me a pole that I can follow to the end
Free me in time

There is a crack in everything
That is where the light gets in

As time goes by
As time goes by

A very exciting thing is happening friday and saturday.

The song ‘The Last Spark’ will be performed live at A Kid Hereafter’s
concerts in Copenhagen and Århus, Denmark. I’m told it’s prolonged with a guitar solo among other excentric musical elements. I can’t wait to hear it – although I’m not gonna be there myself, because I’m going to the Leonard Cohen show instead. Dang! If you happen to go, please bring a video camera and record the song, will ya? Anyway it’s a fucking great band!

Yours truly

Hi!

As McCain gets a bit more behind in the polls, his campaign gets nastier. Some suggest that he can no longer afford the positive attidude. It’s time to get real.

Palin and McCain both tried to expose, what they call the ‘real’ Obama. That is, his hidden ugly side that interacts with terrorists etc. In an attempt to change focus from today’s america to Obama’s past, they have tried to raise doubt about his person. I personally think that this plan is kinda stupid and leaves everyone with the impression of the GOP as a political party without a message.

And then, this happened. THAT ONE! Does this miniature semantic mistake from McCain in the middle of the second debate in fact show us the real McCain? One can only guess. I think not – but I know that the strategy has backfired. As many other strategies from the McCain/Palin camp.

To the nerds: YES, It’s sounds like and is inspired by a well known Beatles song!

That One!

That one
turned this thing upside down
and that shouldn’t be allowed
so I’ll dig myself a hole in the ground

That one
is not playing it fair
It’s soon getting to where
I will call someone who cares

Tell me something real for once
or are you just hanging out?
Tell me something real for once
or are you just fooling around?

That one
got me feeling alone
with a red cup to go
so I’ll find myself a new crop to sew

Hi all.

This week’s episode deals with the American economy once again. It got worse.
Tonight the Senate will vote for the rescue plan one more time.
McCain predicts catastrophe if it’s turned down by the Senate.

The song is called Take me to the Meeting on Time, and is in a style I never tried before.
See if I got away with it.

Take me to the Meeting on Time

Download

On the right hand sinde is pole and a kiss
on the cheek of some old lady’s shirt
I gotta run ’till I hide nowhere possible in sight
and on my shoulder sits a vulture with a flirt

Take me to the meeting on time

To much making it through can kill a lawyer or two
and too much drinking won’t suffice to the end
I gotta pacemaker beepin’ and a woman who’s weeping
I have a whole lotta time to spend

When the pressure get’s too much I start clinging to my crotch
and grabbing things from the closets in my room
In the dark I wear a mask and in the day time I am dead
You gotta get me up in time for the moon

Take me to the meeting on time

Hi there

The staggering economy is the inspiration for this week’s song.
I have absolutely nothing intelligent to say about the crisis and the forthcoming difficulties for the world. In stead I wrote a song only mildly connected with this topic.
It’s called ‘Go to go down to the River’. I hope you enjoy.

Got to go down to the River:

Got to go down to the river
the rain’s raining down on me
Got to go down to the rail road tracks

Got to go down to the river
the rain’s raining down on me
Got to go down to the rail road tracks

Me and the others, we drifted away
from where once were.
So they say that we fell down on our backs.

The happy band that made my night was A Kid Hereafter. You should check these extreemely talented kids out!

Hi everybody.

I just came back from a quick visit to Seattle and the Bumbershoot Festival. It was really nice and what FANTASTIC people there!! I had a really good time chatting to people at the festival. Sometimes we europeans think that we are all alone – we certainly have some good pals over there! Cheers!

Well, apart from the festival and visiting historic landmarks as the house where Kurt Cobain shot himself one major thing had an impact on me. Well two actually – counting Obamas speech at the democratic convention in Denver that is. The appearance of Sarah Palin. The govenor from Alaska, and now crown princess of McCains potential chair in the oval office. WOW! What a gal! Yihaa!

And what a fantastic moron she is. She held a very special speech, when she was revealed as the vice presidential candidate. I made a song about, what it sounded like in my ears.

Pro-Fight

We’re gonna rid the streets of every fag
And send every healthy boy away to Iraq
This is how we will relieve this country’s burdened back
singin’ ooh-la-di-lah
singin’ ooh-la-di-lah

Confess to the choir
Confess to the status quo
Repeat the mantra the resides within
The blockbuster devil is a big black sin

Confess to the maker
Confess every microscope
The truth lies in babies that have not yet been born
The net beneath Darwin is about to be torn

The rural Alaska has got it right
Pro-choice is substituted with a Pro-fight
In school you will learn about intelligent design
And that kingdom comes from a bold decline

Confess to the choir
Confess to the status quo
Repeat the mantra the resides within
The blockbuster devil is a big black sin

Confess to the maker
Confess every microscope
The truth lies in babies that have not yet been born
The net beneath Darwin is about to be torn

HI!

Well as most of you possibly noticed, last week’s song did not arrive on time.
Let’s just say, that I had alot of technical difficulties…

Anyway here it is.
The track was inspired by the übercool Nurse Dee, who introduced me to the verb ‘cutting’ – in the sense of someting having an edge. I promised to make the term the prime subject of the following song, and here I deliver. Having in mind the mild controversy following olympic champion Usain Bolt and his choice of NOT congratulating his fellow runners after the final in which he set his second world record at these games.

Who cares about how he behaves? He runs faster than you!

Interesting fact: Mrs. Gun aka Captain Woman is on the vocals of the first verse. Apparently my bid was a bit on the false side – too much for proff. taste.

Coming up is exciting new guest appearances and a ph.d. about yours truly.
Hopefully the podcast feature will also be available soon – as the newsletter.

Tonight I’m Cutting

Pompous, service, galant, delight
legs, lines, television
fixture, mortgage, ambition, foresight
anger, happier, alien

There’s truth in any kind of measuring of the weather
Look ’round the corner there is always someone better
In God you trust to be a healthy happy athlete
And when you win you sign the contract for cash
Hands down.

Tonight I’m going through the wall
Tonight I’m cutting
Tonight I’m leaping for the fall
Tonight I’m running

So we’re connecting with the game of setting standards
You either win or loose – or get a slander.
Who cares ’bout who’s outside the walls of coloseum
Compress the wound, lie down. Pretend you’re home.
Fall down.

Tonight I’m going through the wall
Tonight I’m cutting
Tonight I’m leaping for the fall
Tonight I’m running
