Music for One Apartment and Six Drummers

I remember watching this short film on SVT a few years ago and I was blown through the back of my sofa because of its awesomeness. This excellent piece of film is so awesome on so many levels that it’s just mind-numbing, and makes you sit there drooling like an open mouthed baboon calling on somebody to help you lift your jaw off the floor.

Six drummers break into an apartment and creates excellent music. This award winning short film is called Music for One Apartment and Six Drummers. Because I linked it from YouTube the video and audio quality is shit, but still enjoyable.

The Perfect Song

This is just an emergency post to prevent my blog from dying. I’m dead tired because I have had a massive project that took away many precious hours of sleep for several nights. But now that it’s over and I survived I’ll post one of my all time favorite songs by one of my all time favorite bands.

Everything is great when it comes to this song; the lyrics, the melodies, the riffs and beats etc.

Click play.

Band: Pain of Salvation.
Song: Martius/Nauticus II

Dear diary,

I almost fell in love once.

It was a cold, rainy autumn night a couple of years ago and I and my brother were going to Tavastia for a concert. I didn’t really want to go, but my brother was given two free tickets because he was going to review that night’s show for the radio, and so he asked me to join him.

That night there were one band, one singer, and a Swedish pop princess performing. I couldn’t care less about the first two, and the third I remembered because of a kind of annoying hit she had in the mid 90’s, so I was a little curious to see her but I was nowhere near excitement.

We stepped inside the club. It was smoky, there was a last minute sound check going on, we had a few drinks but not a whole lot was going on and I was getting bored.

The first band impressed us both, sadly they didn’t have a record contract and so eventually they slipped my mind and even later they are only to be found somewhere close to Oblivion. The second act didn’t do much for me. She sounded like a modern Janis Joplin, had a few OK songs here and there, and she too is fading into the dark.

But the third one… Ooh, how I remember her! It was time for her to rock the house, that she did and more so. She sang her heart out, she danced her ass off, she melted my icy cold heart and by the time the show was over I thought I loved her and wanted to rush backstage and tell her all my darkest secrets and that she was the most wonderful being I had ever seen and heard. Robyn, you are awesome and I secretly adore you.

Ladies and Gentlemen, click play and enjoy this funny Prince cover she did.

Robyn: Jack You Off

A Game

Let’s play a game, shall we?

You, my loyal friends and readers know that I am a metalhead. This game is to test you. I have picked a song, and all you have to do is answer the following questions. OK, let’s do this (and please be honest and don’t cheat).

1. Which band is performing?
2. What song, and by which band, is the song they are covering?
3. Who are the guest stars the performing band brought on stage with them?
4. From which bands are the guest stars known?
