50 foot wave

Kristin Hersh have done it again.

50 foot wave is her new band and the sound is similar to her old band Throwing Muses, but it has its own sound. There's a Quicktime stream of the record and one video on the site.

I haven't listened to much new music lately, but this is a record I must have.

Where's Leslie Rankine - part 4

There is no news whatsoever about my attempt to find what Leslie Rankine is doing - or if she is doing anything.

I'm still searching though.

And many thanks to ork for the comments. It's rather fantastic that someone who doesn't know me is actually reading my blog.

Kill your PDFs

PDFs can be nice and handy, but they can also be plain annoying. So when one is bothered with a PDF-file, but really just need the text, it's time to switch on the PDF-to-txt-conversion-machine

Public Service festival 2005

The Public Service festival for Nordic electronic music will hit Copenhagen for the second time in august. My friends and I from Komponent will once again take part. There are pictures from last years festival at the festivals web site (pictures 48 - 60 are mine).
Perhaps I'll see you there.

Where is Leslie Rankine - part 3

1. Is it Leslie or Lesley? I don't know.
2. I've asked about Ms. Rankine at chrisconnelly.com's discussion forum. So far two persons have aswered, and they agree that she hasn't made any music recently, but has begun making babies instead.

Where is Lesley Rankine - part 2

Friend Ashley (not this Ashley) says:

as for leslie, it is her, i know her a bit, but havent seen her for a few years, i know her through chris the silverfish bassist who joined headbutt after they split, fuzz the guitarist is the house engineer at the dublin castle, and i bumped into stewart the drummer a couple of weeks ago, he's a metal worker. i think she did an album as leslie rankin sometime in the last year or so, and i believe she lives in l.a. with chris connelly of all those pigface type bands...

The investigation continues...

Happy New Year

2005...

My laptop - which is my only computer - is broken. Hopefully friend dzl can fix it sometime. Until then its the computer at work or some computer at Lab when I need to travel to cyberspace.

But there's a pay rise in the horizon, so hopefully I'll be able to afford an iBook soon and then I'll be blogging (almost) every day.
