A Strawcatcher's Thoughts

New Year, New Opportunities

My first post this year, and it's in February. I haven't been good at posting things here, but I guess I didn't really know what to write about. At least now I have an idea.

I've never really been one to go to concerts. But somehow, that's always where I seem to end up. The atmosphere, the bands, the music and the people there all makes the experience one of a kind.

Last year I went to two festivals; one in Norway and one in England. They were both great and I'm totally going to festivals this year also.
The Norwegian festival was called Quartfestivalen. It was from tuesday til saturday. Some of the concerts I went to was Slash and friends, Marilyn Manson, The Black Eyed Peas, Bob Sinclair feat. Big Ali and Korn. Since 2005 I've been to this festival each year. Unfortunately they were bankrupt in 2009, so there won't be one this year.

Last years best concerts was Metallica and Linkin Park at Sonisphere Festival. It was absolutely brilliant! Such a great experience and hopefully I'll get to go this year also.

Guess what . . .

I've been gone for what seems like an eternity. In other words, I've had no posts here in quite a while. And now it's December and Christmas is coming fast! Suddenly time flies and another year is closing in. I wish it would snow here in Norway soon, then the Christmas feeling would really kick in!

Anyways, there's a band called The Crowns which everybody should check out! Absolutely great music! They're a Dutch rock band from Amsterdam who love Converse, skinny jeans and of course, making music. They are currently recording their debut album which should be rather good I think. Anyways, like I said, check them out at http://www.thecrownsmusic.com/

So I resently discovered Audioslave. I haven't really been listening to them, but all of a sudden, there they were; playing on my computer. It's kind of fun; All these bands yet to be discovered and enjoyed.
Any bands you guys want me to check out? Let me know!
Till next time...

Song of today:
Audioslave - What You Are

Music

Music was my first love
and it will be my last
Music of the future
music of the past

To live witout my music
would be impossible to do
In this world of troubles
my music pulls me through
- John Miles

Have you ever felt like the world has turned it's back on you and nothing seems to go your way? Well, I have. And when life isn't doing so great, neither am I. So instead of drowning myself in my gloominess alone, I find myself reading and listening to music. Still alone though. Some songs are sad, some are insightful, and some are songs who simply makes you feel good. So through this blog I'd like to share with you different quotes and songs which I like and which speaks to me.
So I hope you'll enjoy it and feel free to leave feedbacks!
Till next time...
