These days

Today I've been sitting and listening to Nico.

Here are just some pictures that I love.

 

 

Ann-Margret

Today, as I was watching an episode of MadMen I first saw Ann-margret. A Swedish-American actress that once was friends with Elvis and starred in the film Viva Las Vegas. Apparently she was known in America as "Sex Kitten".
I think the pictures of her are a bit tacky-sexy but I love them!

Jim Morrison

Inspiring music and pictures.

Jim Morrison was a very decadent person and a poet and that is in itself inspiring to me.

 

Love the gorilla-jacket! 

And a great song with a nice desert-video.

The boat that rocked

I just saw The Boat That Rocked last night.
I must say, it's the best film iv'e ever seen! My face lit up and i couldnt stop smiling at all!

The movie is about this Pirate radio station off shore outside of england to be free to play what they wanted.
Its set in the 60's and all the clothes, music and settings are just amazing. So are the actors!

So now, im all in for 60's music!

Here, The Kinks - Sunny Afternoon

Song of the day

Summer is finally here and the perfect song for a outdoors hangout is Jammin with Bob Marley.
This version is from the album "Chant Down Babylon" with various artists.
Here jammin is featured by the always amazing Lauryn Hill.

And, the original:

Pete Doherty and Wolfman

There is so much I can write about Pete.
That will have to be written another day.
For now, I will just post this beautiful song he has recorded with Wolfman.

For Lovers

Caribou!

I went to see one of my favourite bands, Caribou, on the 1st of may. Daniel Snaith makes all the music himself, but live he's got an amazing band with him.

Daniel Snaith started making music under the name of Manitoba but was threatened to be sued by an american artist calling himself "Richard Handsome Dick Manitoba" so Snaith changed the name to Caribou.
He has released some great albums under the name of manitoba and amongst them one of my favourite songs "Skunks".
He then moved on releasing the critically acclaimed Andorra in 2007 and now the latest album Swim in 2010.

I was really looking forward to this gig since i've seen them once before and I must say, they really blew me away this time!
On stage were four men, three (or more?) keyboards, two drum kits, two guitars and a bass. With that also a flute and some electronic drum-pads and various fun samplers.
Snaith and his band blasted out a huge wall of sound throughout the whole set, i can't understand how these four guys can make this music even better live.

They also had visual effect in form of different psychedelic patterns projected on stage.
In conclusion, it was a psychedelic, high-tempo gig leaving me wanting more even after the encore song.

My favourite moments was when they played my favourite song, Melody Day and the new single, Odessa. I really missed two great songs, Sandy and Skunks.

If you want to hear more from Caribou i recommend to watch the Pink Room Sessions on youtube and also the new album Swim.
