One of favourite musicians is Rockettothesky, alias Jenny Hval. And here comes her apprentice: Ingeborg Selnes! Weird text, strange pling plong music and very promising. I have bought her album “The Zoo” which is great! She was warm-up for Jenny (at her album release) and there she was rather shy and not very talkative. But this was some time back, so maybe she has changed now? She can learn from Jenny: create wonderfull (and introvert) music, but still be funny and talk to the audience.

Looking forward to see and hear more from her though.

If you wonder what I want for christmas, just get any of Joyes designs..

FluidTunes from Majic Jungle Software. Scroll your library in iTunes waving your hands in front of your Apple Mac. Havent tested this one yet, but seems like a pretty cool app.

From blue to black site. Seems like all websites go black this days. They have cleaned up a bit and the site looks fresher. But is it really better?

But what happened to the song “A choir of crayons” that you played december 2006? Okay, quite different from the rest of “Medea”, but loads of fun! Hope to get hold of in better quality than my crapping mobilephone recording…:[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wGB0juU0Hc]
