Where's Lesley Rankine...

and what is she doing?
A long time ago, when I lived in Kolding, I bought an issue of UK music magazine Select, that included a promotion cassette - yes, a cassette - from Creation Records. One of the tracks was Vitriola by Silverfish and I loved it right away - especially the vocals by Lesley Rankine. I later got me a cd-player and went on to buy all the Silverfish albums. Then Silverfish stopped, split up or whatever it is bands do when they stop releasing records.

Then one morning(ish) a couple of years later or so I'm reading my newspaper and see a review of Salt Peter by Ruby with vocals by Lesley Rankine. I finished my tea, jumped into my beach sandals or whatever I was wearing that summer and ran down the stairs to the record shop (yep, I had a record shop in my house) and bought the cd. I loved it too, though completely different from Silverfish. Some months later Ruby played at Pitstop and that's probably the best gig I've seen there.

And now I have a question: What is Lesley Rankine doing today? I love her music and I want to hear more! An invistigation is underway. Stay tuned for news or non-news on the situation

This was some great noise.
Yeah, I know. It's a bit late, since the concert was on 26. november - but hell, it's my blog.

The concert was arranged by Bragagild.

"Supportband is Vinyl Terror&Horror, this band has made one release with CD and LP versions, the members of this group are working with sound and sculpture, and made some of the sculptures presentet together with the Steven Stapleton exhibition at Charlottenborg 2002. They use analog soundmodeling of modified turntable loops to generate rythmic noise and soundscape." (Quote from Bragagild)

Unbeliveable!

That's what I thought (and said to a security guy in the supermarket) when I went to buy a newspaper and saw this new magazine called Plastique.

I love magazines and I think it's great that there are so many different and weird ones. Too bad there really aren't any I feel like reading - well exept for Lettre Internationale.

I've been working

It's been a rough couple of weeks (there has been work to do at work - ususally I've got time to do all sorts of important stuff, but the last two weeks or so it's been work, work, work) and there has been no time to blog. But from now on, I'll try to post at least every other day.
