I am into some great music by swedish loney dear.

and “I was only going out”

A beautiful little song by a new favorite, Jay-Jay Johanson.  Song of the week in my books!

This info video will help you in your time of need. Watch the whole thing or go to the end where it teaches you how a newspaper can even protect you from the bomb! Duck and cover…

The election is a few days away and what could be more appropriate than a dance?

I saw “Shut up and sing” at the Gothenburg film festival yesterday and it was fantastic.

In 2003, the female country band, The Dixie Chicks, are at the top of their game being one of the most successful bands of all time. However with the US invasion of Iraq about to begin over frustrated worldwide objections about this needless war, one of the Chick vents off the cuff in concert about being ashamed of US President George W. Bush. This statement sparks a firestorm of organized and personal right wing attacks against the Chicks for daring to think they have the right to express a negative personal opinion about the President. This film covers the band’s effort to ride out the turmoil that would leave their careers under a cloud, but would eventually give them a opportunity to grow as great artists who bow to no one.

It surprises me to see the hate and the oppositsition the girls would get for quite an innocent bunch of words. Anyways a great documentary about 3 inspiring rich texan girls.

Bjørn Eidsvåg is a brilliant Norwegian singer. Here is one of his many beautiful songs performed by Elvira Nikolaisen and himself.
