So… its friday, 5 days of work is behind me and only one more day is left until I can kick back and appreciate my one day long weekend. Awesome.

As you can probably imagine this week hasn´t had much to offer. however, I will say that I have finally pulled my ass together enough to go buy a new charger for my videocamera. I even brought the (fully charged) camera with me when I went to Drammen to jump trampolines, but I wasn´t feeling “it” that day, so I never got it out – I will next time though!

I spend a lot of time on the internet (just like everybody else?) and I believe that ones use of the internet obviously says a lot about ones interests, but I will go as far as to say that your use of the interweb says a lot about who you are.

So after this really mediocre week with not too much going on and absolutely nothing interesting personal things happening, I will share some links with you guys so you can get a better idea of what I´m all about, without getting too far into my head.

These are some of the sites I always check out – in no particular order:

http://hypebeast.com/ – “Attracting a vast and diverse readership from around the globe and boasting 9 million page views per month, Hypebeast is the premier destination for street culture information on the web.”

http://hypem.com/ – “Every day, thousands of people around the world write about music they love — and it all ends up here.”

http://www.karmaloop.com/ – “The world leader in streetwear culture and clothing.”

http://www.newschoolers.com/ – “The worlds biggest online community for Free Skiing enthuthiasts.”

http://riders.dk/ - “Like Newschoolers, but for the danes.”

http://theberrics.com/ – “Inside Steve Berra and Eric Kostons skatepark. We dont report the news, we are the news.”

http://www.computerarts.co.uk/ - “Tons of tutorials and stuff to learn.”

http://www.friflyt.no/ –

I often check out Art (fag) blogs and media bookmarking sites:

http://www.booooooom.com/, http://dropular.net/, http://www.notcot.org/, http://www.changethethought.com/, http://www.todayandtomorrow.net/, http://www.buamai.com/, http://thefwa.com/, http://www.colourlovers.com/, http://thepostfamily.com/, http://kitsunenoir.com/, http://ffffound.com/, http://streetpeeper.com/.

One last thing I want to share is this one site… When I saw this site I instantly knew I wanted to share it on the blog. I think this is one of those really good concepts which could potentially change the world..!

I never thought I would like the design of a label which creates medical products, but this is absolutely awesome!

Check out: Help I need help – and especially check the “bored?” section of the site.

I also went thru my vimeo subscription, which I never do, and I found some really cool stuff… I will share that tomorrow.

How about THAT for content sharing? DAMN!

Just so you know, I never wanted my blog to about “random cool stuff” because there are SOO many of those blogs out there, but its kinda hard not to share things from the internet when I spend so much time cruising around on here and check stuff out. (I love anything that looks cool!)… This is the post to compensate for all the times I wanted to post something “cool” on here that really doesnt have anything to do with me.

I cant wait till my season kicks in so I can start sharing my own activities and work on my ego, wohoo!

Have an awesome weekend.

Chiddy Bang – All Things Go (w Sufjan Stevens)

Coeur de Pirate – Comme des enfants (Le Matos remix)

PS: I know this is turning into a music blog but when I´m not doing too many interesting things, I feel like this is all I can share… things will change as soon as ski season starts – and I get a camera!

music monday on a monday

Over the course of the last week I´ve been listening alot to 2 different bands. 1 band which I have listened to a lot and 1 I listened to a little bit when I first heard about them about 1 year ago, but never stuck with some reason I could´ ve never understood today.

The first band is The Rural Alberta Advantage. After taking a break from listening to this band for a little while, this month it is probably the band I have listened to the most.

Most of the album is good (Hometowns). I like this song the best.

The Rural Alberta Advantage – The Ballad of the RAA

The second band I want to mention in Ra Ra Riot. I remember first hearing about them when I read somewhere they sounded similar to The Arcade Fire whom I´ ve liked ever since Mike Mo´s part in Fully Flared. But when I checked them out their songs kinda didn´t catch on – again, for a reason I really can´t understand. I neven forgot about Ra Ra Riot but I neven gave them a sincere chance till about a week ago. Now I have listened to them nonstop for a week, and I really like 9 out of 10 songs in their The Rhumb Line album…

This song has gotten the most hits over the last week,

Ra Ra Riot – Ghost Under Rocks

… I´ll finish this one off by sharing the song I listened to all morning.

Kurt Vile – Blackberry Song

Oh… Yesterday was fathers day here in Norway, so naturally I hit up my dad (who lives in Greenland), only to find out fathers day in Greenland/Denmark is on July 5th… what a bummer!

Thats all I got right now – All I´m doing is working, working out and hanging out… I don´t know if anyone actually likes these music posts..?

… with a song in my head, and I just spend over 2 hours finding out which song it was!

I never wake up with random songs in my head – especially not songs I don´t remember the title of…

So I searched the net for a while and ended up finding a ton of good music I hadn´t heard before,  but the song from this morning just kept coming back. It suddenly hit me “I have the song in my iTunes library”. I started thinking about what I have been doing in iTunes lately, and one of the things I just started, as a little personal project, is rating my songs so I don´t forget some really great songs (over the last year my library have grown from about 40 to almost 70 gigs). And it helps alot of my friends who always check my library for new music, to find some of the good stuff.

3 stars = good song.

4 stars = great song, and the usually the reason why I downloaded the album.

5 stars = a song I have listened to ALOT, and still keep coming back to (a personal classic).

Here is the song that hunted me all morning.

Stars – Take Me To The Riot

Now I´m going the kiropractor, and then I´m going downtown to look at cameras – I really want to start taking more photos!

I feel a little bit like I´m jumping on the bandwagon by posting this song – I just hope everyone haven´t heard it yet?

I was looking for a song which gave a feel of the fall AND a little bit of winter, and I feel this song represents pretty good… In the winter I always listen to “lighter” music you don´t have to think about and music that can get me pumped when I´m skiing (blip blop music if you will)…

This Florence + The Machine song remixed by The XX has a little bit of “winter” and a little bit of “fall” in it I guess… whatever, here it is…

Florence + the Machine – You’ve Got the Love (XX remix)

One of my all time favorite songs from a good old artist – Curtis Mayfield.

Curtis Mayfield – Move On Up

This song really sets the mood for my day today!
