The Airportline: Observations

It must just be the colors, and the kids, that keep me alive Cat Power sings in this beautiful song called Colors And The Kids from her 1998 album Moon Pix. It's just her and a piano, and Cat Power is one of those artists who sounds like her soul is aching when she is singing. I've seen her live two times, one time she was terrible and the other time she kicked me out for yelling too much. I still love her. It's so hard to go in the city, cause you want to say hello to everybody. It's so hard to go into the city, cause you wanna say hey I love you to everybody. When we were teenagers, we wanted to be the sky, she continues. Today at Queens Day we wanted to be the sky too.

Here is the artists I've listened to most this past week:

Let's get personal, Belle and Sebastian sounding gay New York band The Ballet sings in their song Personal. Airportline will also get a bit personal. As many of your have probably noticed the 25 things about me list swamped the world of Facebook a few months ago. I'm bridging the void between the social network world and the so called blogosphere (which is a highly contested concept) by posting my own 25 list here, on my blog, starting, today.

1. I have cried during two movies: Lassie when I was seven, and The Diving Bell and The Butterfly one year ago.

2. Once I got kicked out from a Cat Power concert because I was yelling for her to play the song Maybe Not too many times (I blame youth, and Jägermesister). Interestingly enough, she played the song first, and had me kicked out afterwards.

3. I have been blogging four and a half years, first in Swedish and since January in English. I've also written for several music fanzines, this has not made me rich. I’ve also written for some magazines, also didn’t make me rich.

4. When I lived in Malaysia I knew two music nerds that worked in a music store in Kuala Lumpur. They fooled me into believing that the best Sonic Youth album was Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star. With this I want to say that I am easily fooled.

5. I’m what Wikipedia describe as a Private Christian (Believe in God and in doing good things, but not within a church context). This surprise a lot of people, maybe due to my lifestyle, and my love for rap lyrics about dealing cocaine.
