Why not request the gift of music? Well, here is what you should want for christmas, or give to someone else. Hey, lets just put 24 things on the list, one for each day in december leading up to christmas eve.

First ones are ALL “Porcupine Tree” albums. You don´t just want to own these albums, you NEED them.. take it from a PT junkie.. Hell, ask anybody who has listened to an album, or seen a concert.. This is pure music platinum (which is better than gold). And remember, some artists really deserve the 10 dollars, don´t just run to the pirate bay here.. Yarr!

1. Deadwing
2. Lightbulb Sun
3. In Absentia
4. Fear of a Blank Planet
5. Nil Recurring
6. Stupid Dream
7. Signify
8. Voyage 34
9. Up the Downstair
10. the Sky moves Sideways
11. On the Sunday of Life (you kinda need to be a fan/pt-junkie before listening to this one, give it time)

And while we are on this kind of music, Blackfield is a MUST. Steven Wilsons side project with Aviv Geffen.

12. Blackfield – Blackfield
13. Blackfield – Blackfield II

Live DVDs are “in”, and these ones are pretty good

14. Porcupine Tree – Arriving Somewhere live DVD
15. Blackfield live DVD

Other Music:

16. Linkin Park – Minutes to Midnight (because everyone loved Hybrid Theory)
17. Adema – Kill the Headlights (this is not that bad, really, im super serial)
18. Foo Fighters – Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace (need I say more?)
19. Celldweller – Celldweller (old album, but I can´t stop listening to it)

By now your ears are bleeding, and you will need some visual entertainment

20. Transformers (pref. in HD, cause this monster CG animation is just pure fun)
21. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phenix (get.. through.. it.. cause you know you need to, before Half Blood Prince comes out next year)
22. Futurama – Benders Big Score (yay, they are back!!)
23. 300 (just for the catchphrase, THIS IS SPARTA)

And finally:
24. Sigur Ros – Hvarf-Heim (some new material, and some acoustic old classics, this just have to be good)

Optional:

1. Halo 3 (yes.. YES.. xbox live rocks)
2. the Orange Box (just for Portal! episode 2 is pretty decent too)
3. LEGO Star Wars – the Complete Saga (pure fun)
4. Bioshock (oh yes, it is teh good!)
5. Call of Duty 4 (its ok)

I am back, in Trondheim, and I feel like CRAP! At first I thought it may be a hangover, but it doesn´t feel like it. And riding the train for 8 hours, sitting the wrong way, did not help at all! Anyway, I had a blast in Oslo, visited friends, got to see my little princess, and attended the best fucking concert EVER! Pictures you say?? Zoidberg has them right here! Hooraayy!!








ALL images at my Picasa web gallery, yeah, click me

Yesterdays concert, pretty awesome, even better this time than this summer! I just need to get around syncing my iPhone for pictures.

Love the song, love the game = good combination

Porcupine Tree is coming back to Oslo, 25th of November. This time they got a warm up band called Anathema, uhm, heard of them =) sweeeet!!

Be there, or be.. ??.. square?

Porcupine Tree – Arriving Somewhere

Ever had the feeling you’ve been here before?
Drinking down the poison the way you were taught
Every thought from here on in your life begins
And all you knew was wrong?

Sigur Ros – Untitled () part 8

No lyrics here, everything is on Hopelandish! But man, the last part of this song is on my top 3 of All Time. The music is magic… I like so sing along, making up the lyrics on the go. And it is different every time, cause it reflects my mood.

I was in the mood for doing this post, but not anymore, so end

Last night I saw Muse live! I´ve got to say that Muse may be one of the, if not _the_, best live bands at this moment. As a matter of fact, they rocked so hard I had to retire a bit backwards just to breathe =) Although the music of Muse is nothing near what Porcupine Tree delivered in June, the concert may rank as high up as my top 3 concerts all time! The energy they gave on the stage was amazing, the lightning, the smoke, just awesome to the end!

I whopped out my iPhone and shot some pictures (kudos to the dude behind me yelling “stop showing off” about my iPhone)

Yes, it is coming! I canceled my iPod touch and found a way to get myself an iPhone instead. Since the unlocking guys are hard at work, I trust them to work things out so that I can use my phone by the time I get it! I have been drooling over this phone since the MWSF keynote in January, so this is going to be fun!

The day after the concert, I find myself kinda burned out. Yesterday night sucked all the energy out of me, and I have just been sleeping during the day. One of the biggest newspapers reviewed the concert, and gave it a solid 6 on the dice, even if the beginning of the concert was troubled with power losses!

the set list:
Fear of a Blank Planet
Lightbulb Sun
My Ashes
Anesthetize
Open Car
Drown with Me
Mellotron Scratch
Blackest Eyes
Sentimental
Sever
Half Light
Way Out of Here
Sleep Together

Even Less
Mother and Child Divided
Halo
