Connect your iTunes to the Internet - MyTunesRSS

Yet another iTunes application I found on the net. Looks good, but I would have to have my Mac online 24/7... http://www.codewave.de/products/mytunesrss "MyTunesRSS allows you to access the music and videos from your iTunes library or any simple watch folder over a local network or even the internet. You can access your music from all over the world using a simple web browser." Seems good. Has anyone tried this?

Last FM is overloaded

Got this message the other day at last.fm. Doesnt suprise me really, after all, if people use it as much as i do every day (almost 4000 tracks played so far..), then it means loads of megabites transferred.

Spotify next? (Anyone got a token to share? :)

Song for the weekend: Smolik feat. Mika Urbaniak "Who Told You"

Great song from the Polish musician Smolik. Smooth, chilly stuff. Just what I need for the weekend!

Hurra! Rockettothesky's new album "Medea" is released today!

And this is the first single "Grizzly Man". Yet another great song from Jenny Hval. Just have to say it: Jenny, du er flink! :) And what a fantastic voice.

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...:

New ways a promoting music: Piratebay!

Swedish group "Far och son" launch their single "panik" on Piratebay. And have a great video too:

Syncronise your mobile phone with iTunes

Swedish Sallinger has done it again!

Salling Media Sync synchronizes playlists, music, and podcasts from iTunes onto your mobile phone. It's free to use, but when registered it intelligently updates your phone, which is much faster.

Gulltaggen 2008 showing Virgin Galactic and The Reactable

Yesterday was Norways web-awardshow, Gulltaggen, celebrating its 10. anniversary in Oslo Spectrum. Unfortunately the project I worked on for Microsoft, Heroes happen here, didnt win. But you can read about it (and all other nominations) here.


Gulltaggen had a couple of good seminars, especially the one by president Will Whitehorn from Virgin Galactic. Great stuff! Sci-fi today:


Another great experience was seeing the Reactable live. The reactable is a collaborative electronic music instrument with a tabletop tangible multi-touch interface. They performed live at Gulltaggen 2008 in Oslo

Great song by Familjen: "Det snurrar i min skalle"

The proof that: 1. English is not the default for good songs. 2. Swedish dialect is funky. Very.

Justice concert at Rockefeller

Justice live at Rockefeller, Oslo, Norway. Recorded 2. of February 2008. Not really quite sure which song this was (due to crap mobile sound), but at least one can experience the great atmosphere!

Well, acctually, it isnt him singning, but just podcsat test. Anyhow, here's his podcast channel:

Wayne Lotek "Control Alt Delete"

This British rapper loves his PC and uses sweet Windows sounds in his song "Control Alt Delete" Sounds similar to Roots Manuva. Well, he's produced for him too, so maybe not too strange then... Wayne Lotek at Myspace

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.

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