The XX
Nothing creative about this post… It´s kinda late and I´m really tired after a 12 hour day at work.
The XX is the band I´ve listened to the must over the past week.
They just came out with an album. They are from England. They have the coolest band name I´ve heard in a while. I love how their two lead singers “complete” each other. It´s good music for this time of the year.. And I might use one of their songs in some way real soon (hint hint).

I hope my coming posts are gonna be more interesting, but I´m too tired right now…
13 Year Old Uses Walkman for a Week
Stumbled upon this and though it was funny…
The BBC convinced 13 year old Scott Campbell to swap his iPod for a Walkman and use it for a week. The first shock came just from seeing the thing:
[My Dad] had told me it was big, but I hadn’t realised he meant THAT big. It was the size of a small book.
It gets worse from there. Wearing the 30 year old device on his belt (“it is certainly not pocket-sized, unless you have large pockets”) Scott felt embarrassed at the attentions of passersby as they stared and shouted insults.
Other problems included lack of a shuffle mode (“I managed to create an impromptu shuffle feature simply by holding down “rewind” and releasing it randomly”), terrible battery life (three hours), sound quality (we’d disagree — even a tape sounds better than the average MP3), and capacity (twelve tracks in your pocket!).
Scott had some operational troubles, too: “It took me three days to figure out that there was another side to the tape.” The ultimate insult comes at the end, though:
Did my dad, Alan, really ever think this was a credible piece of technology?
Ouch!
youth these days, haha… I’m wondering why he got picked on when retro gadgets are sooo hot right now?
Jeremy
One of my favorite skateboarders, Jeremy Rogers, has retired from skating. What a fucking idiot!.. and I just bought one of his graphics – I’m ashamed!
Summer skiing
The season ended just 2 weeks ago, but I just got exited to go summer skiing…
I just got a link to the new park map and it looks awesome! there is always alot of people in the 2alpes park in the summer, but they put in a new lift so it should be really good this year! I’m going to 2 Alpes for two weeks as a coach with a danish camp called Freestyle Academy – aaawesoome!
