Concert summer 2013

Hello!

So far 2013 have had its ups and downs, as life usually does.
Will not talk about work, because that's not blog-material in any way. For anybody particularly interested, send me a message, and I'll fill your head will all sorts, but it's not very entertaining.

What IS entertaining on the other hand, is getting to discover new things, have fun, see the world and listen to great music and cool bands. I can't say I'm a big music geek in any way, anybody who knows me can validate that.

But when I find stuff I like, I tend to listen to it until I know it by heart, and then some. In 1988 Smokie came to my home town, and I saw my first concert ever. Yeah, Smokie, you know.. Living next door to Alice-Smokie. At my little town, far up in the north of Norway.
My uncle had their LP, and me and my cousin kept listening to Living next door to Alice until you could see the wear and tear on the record. I was 12, guess that was expected from me at the time.

This summer on the other hand, I've been re-visiting my youth, and have seen Bon Jovi in concert for the 2nd time. Before that my man and me had a weekend in Oslo and saw Dara O'Briain's stand up show, pretty hilarious, if you ask me.

Then, 2 weeks ago or so, we went to Oslo (again, plenty of travel for us this year.. Oslo is a 1h 45min flight away), to see Green Day.
I've always liked Green Day, especially since American Idiot, but also their earlier stuff. I'd read that Kaizer Chiefs was to be their warm up, I didn't know anything about them, I always confuse them with Kaizers Orchestra, a Norwegian band.

But as I realized, they had another band first, All Time Low. I had never heard of them, but immediately I heard it was my kind of music. They were firecrackers on the stage, and I decided to remember the name, and search them up on Spotify once I got home.
Unfortunately it took about 3 days before my hearing was back to normal after the concert, but as soon as the tinnitus had worn off, I looked them up. And wasn't disappointed.
Ever since, that's all I've been listening to. Here's a sneak peak, as you see, they're goddamn funny too!






And tomorrow I'm off again, a new concert experience once more. This time I'm bringing my oldest niece with me to Gothenburg in Sweden, to see Robbie Williams, and to go to the Liseberg amusement park. She's super ready, so I hope she'll like the experience!

That's the last concert I've got planned for this year, that's a bit sad really. Hope there'll be more to come!

Nana

Today my nan would have had her 92th birthday. Unfortunately she isn't around any longer, she passed away in 2007. I miss her a lot, we had a great connection, and I could tell her everything. Being no spring chicken, my childhood pictures are a bit faded. But I managed to scan in a quite yellow 70'ies photos of us. Miss you mor! happy birthday, wherever you are.

Eurosong 2013

This years Eurovision song Contest is coming at us again this week.. So, true to tradition I will post this years Norwegian entry. Enjoy! I feed you my love - Margaret Berger

One year, no blogging

It's been a blog free year, unintentional, but that's a fact. Guess my non-topic-blog never will make top gazillion even.. But that's ok. Stuff have happened of course, no big things, just life in general. Mostly working, a bit time off, a little bit traveling, have seen new coutries, and am collecting new countries too. Here is a view from my last new country: Albania (city: Saranda)

It was last august/september-ish, can't quite remember. Maybe I should start writing about my travels, guess that's an interest of mine. Last time I was abroad, I was in London, to see Robbie Williams in concert. Pretty cool concert..

I tried to photograph in concert, but didn't have many good shots. So here is the arena instead.

Things I have been spending my time on the last few months, is snow. But now it seems like winter finally is letting go. 2 weeks ago vs right now:

Hoping summer will come soon now!
