Spelemannsprisen 2006

Congrats to Ila Auto for winning a Spelemannspris (Norwegian music awad) in the category COUNTRY with their new album "IF YOU KEEP PICKIN', IT MIGHT NEVER HEAL" (AUTO RECORDS)

My new favourite Hanne Hukkelberg won in "Åpen Klasse" (open category).

Shame Rockettothesky didnt win though as Newcomer of the year. 120 DAYS took that one. Oh well, cant win them all.

Recycling ads

Here are some superboards I found 28.12.2006 at Aker Brygge, Oslo. The one on the left says:

"There's alot of good things coming out of recycling!" (ad for recycling)
with almost the same font Esso responds on the right side with:

"Mmm..."

Just makes you wonder where Esso takes their food from...

Gullfisken 2007

Da er Gullfisken igang ikveld. Er ikke helt overbevist om årets sølvfisker. Men jeg synes at Bates United har klart årets beste. Kort, konsis, relevant for produktet og like morsom ved hvert gjennsyn. Bra reklame mao! Håper Bates vinner.

Great artist: Hanne Hukkelberg

Just discovered the artist Hanne Hukkelberg through Andreas Palegolas who plays with Rockettothesky. He made this fantastic video for the song "Cheater's Armoury", see more of his stuff at: http://www.palegolas.se





Three of Hanne´s songs can be heard here:

"The Northwind" and "Cheater's Armoury" are so far my favourites. So get her albums "Little things" and "Rykestrasse 68"!

The art of conversation

Found a great article in the Economist about conversation. Here are the main rules:

"The rules we learn from Cicero are these: speak clearly; speak easily but not too much, especially when others want their turn; do not interrupt; be courteous; deal seriously with serious matters and gracefully with lighter ones; never criticise people behind their backs; stick to subjects of general interest; do not talk about yourself; and, above all, never lose your temper. Probably only two cardinal rules were lacking from Cicero's list: remember people's names, and be a good listener."
