This is the case….. all of us is at our very much needed summervacation so we are just taking a bath, getting a nice tan, drinking tequilas in the shade, walking down Sunset strip, digging our own graves, trying to meet Dracula in Transylvania, f**cking like crazy, setting the world on fire, in tanks in Irak or just rehearsing with the Band… U pick!
But…. hold on hotties! We will return soon on a puter in your home,,,,, promise….

…we only had two TV-channels here in Sweden. TV 1 and TV 2. They showed cartoons once a year on Christmas Eve for a whole hour and sometimes American series like Taxi and Cagney and Lacey. But not like every day. Back then, the idea of the internet was just an itch at the back of the brains of a bunch nerds (like, what if you could like hook up all the computers and, you know, watch PORN!) and people still thought that prohibitng people from doing stuff actually kept them from doing it.
In this clip, from a news show called “Rapport”, the issue discussed is how disco music is killing the careers of musicians playing in dance orchestras and they are seriously suggesting that you should be forced to pay “disco tax” and that places without live music shouldn’t be allowed to serve alcohol.
If you don’t get what they say, just check out the fashion show.
I love the attitude of the club owner who’s like: “I’ll never play crap music no matter what they do to me. Disco rulezzz!” And dude with the bib overall, did you ever consider that maybe you’ll have to flip burges AND play guitar? Others have been know to survive that, you know. And a lot of them actually played GOOD music too.
I mean seriously – dansband… Yeeesh.

When rumors that Sven-Göran Eriksson is soon to be history as manager for Manchester City FC began to circulate, Noel Gallagher didn’t just speak up in defense of him, he even offered to kiss him. Or so NME claims. While I quite sincerely don’t give a fuck about British football/soccer teams (or Swedish or Brazilian ones or whatever) and I do think that Svennis sort of looks like a weasel only with less chin, he’s still a SWEDISH chinless weasel, and as such, we give him our full support.
So Noel, we’re right behind you on this one! And yeah, we’re sure you’re muy relieved to hear that.

This text is ripped from the observer..
Stop the moral degradation of the community
Sir: I am responding to the article in the April 18 issue of The Observer regarding a Bayfest event this summer.
The city and residents of the community of Sarnia-Lambton should not be exposed to such trash as Motley Crue. The degradation and the immorality of the community with the promotion of such an event is astronomical. Our community is worth more than this.
This letter is to mobilize people and groups of people to rise and address this issue and to challenge them publicly to have it stopped.
To the evangelical community to take a stand on the immoral issue of this event.
To the council of the City of Sarnia and the mayor based on proper use of the Sarnia Bay area and on behalf of the ratepayers to cancel this event.
To the service clubs of the area who have taken an ethical vow in their organization to take a non-financial position against the event.
To the government services that promote non-abuse of persons and lifestyles in the community, to speak out against the event.
To the protection agencies that combat drug lords, sex abuse, beatings, murders etc. There is no dollar value to a life facing drug abuse, AIDS or a wife, daughter or granddaughter being abused. To the religious community to take a stand regarding the moral issue with this event.
This is a morality issue. The answer to the above challenge will be yours as a group or individual to carry on for eternity.
Eternity never ends. What are you going to do?

…. OMG… is this just a PR-trick or an expression of a man who believes that the year is 1985??

As usual, Agneta is the one in our crowd who always knows everything and are kind enough to share her knowledge. I think it was yesterday when she tipped me off that Mötley Crüe had released a teaser of a single from their new album “Dirt”. I tried to open and listen, with mixed feelings…. anxiety, fear and a small hope.. but the shit didn’t work!!! Well, sometimes I use the few braincells I have and went to Youtube a few hours later and found it…… I listened and then went for the comments….. And this is some excerpts from what I´ve found:
“WOW sounds like the good old times – easily the best since feelgood” – I do agree… mostly because that really doesn’t mean anything at all….
“THIS IS AWESOME! souds like someting from the 80’s” – yeah, correct again… but I thought that it was Sebastian Bach and Skidrow who copied Mötley and not the other way around?
“Holy fucken’ Mother of God, the Crue still rock like there’s no tomorrow. Shit, they always have, always will, they bloody well RULE, wheeehoooooo. Come to mama, babies, I’ll take good care of you. Hot damn, now I’m fricken’ hornier than hell, lol. MUAHHH!!! ! – I don´t wanna spoil the party but hey grrrl…… you seem to have an even dryer period in life than I…
“UGGHHHH!!! I came so much! ” - this guy should really hook up with the grrrl above..
“Great song. Everything I wanted from new Motley Crue” - well, good for you… I guess it is pretty clear right now that my hopes were higher than this…. I want more of everything, its too catchy and candy-pop-like for me…. guess I wanted it to be rougher .. but hey! there are still more to come… I´ll try to be positive…
listen and enjoy (or weep), I´ll leave that up to you…

I guess everybody’s aware that archetypical and original boyband New Kids On The Block has reformed. Like someone said, It’s a bit hard to see what niche they’re trying to fit in now, as they’re too old for the boyband scene and they don’t have all (and never had) that much musical credibility. Like Spice Girls they’re probably going to find that they can cream some money out of a few nostalgia shows and that’s it.
Anyway, the news brought back some memories for me. Not that I was a fan. Hell no. But I actually did see them live once. Yes, I did, and I could explain that there were free tickets and a younger blood relative who was a diehard fan involved, but I’m not going to make excuses. In fact, I’m going to give them props for putting on a darn good show. A lot better than a whole bunch of bands I’ve seen.
With that said, I’m going to admit that I think this song and video may very well be one of the most embarrassing moments in the history of music.
EDIT: I can’t help it. i just rewatched this and I have to discuss it in greater detail.
Who the fuck allowed Donnie to wear a jacket with Malcolm X? I mean, that’s like Jessica Simpson showing up in a t-shirt with a picture of Valerie Solanas. And note how they’re trying to give Jordan a bad boy image because he’s – wow – not paying when he rides on the subway! Back off, gangsta rappers! The boys in NKOTB also like to live dangeously. And then they sneakily combine making Jon appear cute by bathing his dog with making him a wet ‘n’ wild babe in a see-through t-shirt. But the weirdest thing is the chicks approaching their car. I dunno about you, but when I see two chicks with huge hair and mini skirts chatting up guys in cars and then going off with them, I think about one thing and one thing only. But hey, maybe that’s what “five bad brothers from the Beantown land” should be up to, what do I know? I never knew any bad brothers from Boston. But I have known some 12-year-old girls and I think I can say that picking up prostitutes is not the way to win their hearts. Or, for that matter, their parents’ wallets.
And finally – “we’re positive/and no matter what you think we really care”? That’s a violation of everything I believe in!

Is there anyone out there except me who does not have a life and thought watching Portishead live in Portishead while color-sorting your socks would be a nice way of spending a Friday evening? If there is, did you have the same problems I did? 30 s of music, 30 s of silence, 30 s of music, 30 s of silence… I dunno why, but I couldn’t stand it so I gave up.
Might give it another shot later – you’ll be able to find it over at Current TV for a while. If you feel like checking it out, you’ll find it here.
For the ones who don’t need quite that much Portishead, here’s the video for Machine Gun.
Enjoy!
