And from what I was able to glean from the Wikipedia article on Unkle, those guys seemed worth checking out as well, My previous encounters with trip-hop have both been fairly successful, and they can’t be bad if they’ve collaborated with Thom…

Really? Oh well. Gives it more autheticity, kindergarden-wise, then.

“What a nice blog post! It kinda made me happy just in and of itself”

Aaw, that’s good to hear.

“Jepp, så dette i går jeg og, sjekket innom bloggen her nå for å sjekke om du hadde fått det med deg.”

The fun thing is that I found about it from a two days old Klassekampen, which I read on the bed yesterday morning. Fun place to get such information from, really. Usually their page 2 comments relate to the last developments on the new pension reform, or bashes some aspect of American foreign policy, so it was good to get something useful out of it for once.

“VIDUNDERLIGE nyheter, kommer ikke til å kjøpe discbox’en, men kommer til å gi dem 10 £ med nedlastningen.”

Me neither/too. Sure, the discbox sounds like a fun thing to own, but seeing as 1) I don’t own a record player, and 2) don’t really have anywhere to store it, I guess I’ll just download it on October 10, burn it onto a CD-R, and buy it later, if they release it in a physical, mass-market CD, too.

The fun thing now will be to find out how they’ve developed in the last four years. Hopefully, they continue mixing electronica, rock and whatever else they feel like throwing in, but seeing as Thom might have found other outlets for his most electronic impulses (throught the amazing “The Eraser” ), while he at the same time don’t seem to function like other, “normal” artists (the Gods bless him), the impredictability of the thing makes me all giddy like a schoolgirl.

“Me? I’m looking forward to the new “Wolfmother” album.”

Personally, I feel kinda ambivalent towards that one. Sure, I liked their energic retro heavy rock almost immediately when first I heard it last fall, and I still like it quite well (for example, “Mind’s Eye” hasn’t been deleted from my MP3 player since I bought it in March this year), but… Perhaps I just listened too much to it when it was first released, because I’m a bit tired of it these days…

But then again, I’m tired of most of my CDs at the moment, the only things that seem to do it for me lately are Solefald, Band of Horses, Ryan Adams and the Cardinals, Nas, The Shins, Massive Attack, The Roots and Dinosaur Jr….

Me? I’m looking forward to the new “Wolfmother” album.
