I love photos, because they are useless

Operahuset i Oslo

Erik de Vahl

This is one of my favourite albums this year. I don't listen to a lot of new music. But, this is very nice. Independently released on an obscure label called Look. I'm not sure exactly how this label works... it's just a Swedish thing I guess. They like to keep it secret, or some kind of mystery. But it seems like Erik de Vahl, The Embassy and Most Valuable Players are all on this label now.

Back to the album, the label describes "Erik de Vahl's music is a true time document of the 21st century. Classy songwriting mixed with funky/moody electronics. A latter-day Durutti Column, always snoopy and very proud." For me, it's very meditative and enjoyable to listen to. When I leave Sweden, if I listen to this album again, I will miss the days listening to his music and immersing myself in the Swedish landscape.

Sharing Different Heartbeats...

Yeah, y'know, I was there last night. This song (by The Knife) brings me sad memories... so Jose's version is just perfect.

IMDB

My Rating: 8/10

You can say this is a typical school drama, but I like it cuz it's got good some context. Teenage boys, poems, dreams and hopes, carpe diem... Another reason I like it is because the context is quite personal too. I went to private boys school, and have a strict family, I know exactly what Neil went through, but I didn't do anything he does... I didn't pursue my dreams, didn't live to seize the day, didn't make my life extraordinary. Now, the light has faded away. Life tastes tasteless.This tedium I've created, I hate it but have to live with it. God knows, someday someone might light the candle for me.
