Stylespotting @ Roskilde.

Spent a lot of time Thursday right after the festival area opened spotting cool people. First at the bagels/Pavilion, then outside the Lucy Love gig at Cosmopol. Roskilde is seriously filled with coolnezzz.

So Long, Roskilde.

See you next year!

Festival Song (Or "Whine" Might Be More Appropriate)

It's just not fair. All the other major music festivals are getting it SO right this year. Now look at Lollapalooza. What I wouldn't give to go. Just like I'd have given my right arm to have attended Coachella last weekend. Or to go to Benicassim. Or any of the the UK ones.

And then here, there's Roskilde. And I'm sorry, but it's just not up to par! I made my usual lists last week, dividing the acts I want to see into 4 categories. My A1 category (which is the OMGZ YESSSS-category) has one act. ONE ACT. And then the next one only has 4. And it's just not something I'm willing to pay 1700DKK to do. It's like my standards keep falling each year. Last year I was about 50/5o - music/social. Seriously, it used to be much more like 75/25. This year I can't justify spending my entire vacations savings on stumbling around wasted for 7 days straight.

But, you know, it's ROSKILDE. As if I can really stay away. I can't even imagine sitting at home, knowing that it's going on without me. And thus, I've signed up for volunteer work. I hope I get it. I really afford it, and I do love Roskilde.

Unless anyone wants to donate a Lollapalooza ticket? And travelling expenses? Come on, anyone?

WTF.

The Killers were added to the line-up of fucking SKIVE BEACH PARTY. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT???

It seriously pisses me off because they're obviously not coming back just a month later for Roskilde, then. That just seems silly and unlikely. AND THAT SUCKS.

I sort of want to go to Skive now, which is fucked, because I can barely get the funds for a Roskilde ticket as it is, and bla bla fucking blah. Stupid. And I was SO nice about the above pictured outfit for the Spaceman video. Had an entire (drunk) post written about the stupidity of it, but I decided not to be so mean, because I love them and all. But now I'm just mad enough to post this ridiculous and entirely unrelated picture JUST BECAUSE HE LOOKS LIKE AN IDIOT. IN A SPACEMAN SUIT. WITH FEATHERS.

I'm starting to get a little too excited about that caps lock key, so, in other news: Emmy The Great's new album came out yesterday and it's pretty, though I think I like the old demo versions better. I had my first real class today and I think I'm going to throw up the next time someone asks me to analyze an Obama speech. Also went to brunch with a bunch of my classmates, talking about movies for almost two hours. Tomorrow I'm having lunch between classes with my favorite New Yorker, and then I get to see the insides of the new DR "koncerthus", which is pretty exciting. Hope they'll let me take photos. It's supposed to be pretty.

I'm rambling. I'll just go away and watch the new episodes of How I Met Your Mother, House, and Gossip Girl back to back.

XOXO!

Everyone Pose.

No spelling mistake. And no NERD this time 'round. Just stupid poses at Roskilde with two 16 year-olds. Good times.



Fucking good times.

I miss Roskilde and its feeling of indifference and fun.

Expanding my geeknezz.

I am currently at an internet café. Surrounded by übergeeks and an african lady who's spent more than an hour writing e-mails. I just thank my Gods that they have a seperate non-smoking department. The mainroom is disgusting (and I'm not particularly sensitive).

As mentioned before my laptop is KAPUT. Done, over, byebye. Or, not really, but I have to send it to the manufacturer to get it fixed which is likely to take a million years. And there's the chance they'll fix it stupidly and erase all my stuff. But I can't even deal with that thought.
I've been desperate for Internet these last few days. Spent an hour at the library after work yesterday. And today I'm actually paying. It's no good.

But hey, it's cheap and just down the corner. I'll probably become a regular. Sadly.

Did I ever mention the rest of Roskilde?

I must admit I didn't get the best I could out of that week. I could have seen way more bands, been way more socially available, and generally been in a better mood. I really spent most of my time during the actual festival on laying around in the hammocks in front of Pavillon with a bagel and a beer and/or elderberry juice.

Ups:

• The Streets!!!!!!!!! I lovelovelove(!!) Mike Skinner and his music/lyrics.
• Kate Nash. I just want to BE her. Or at least have her wardrobe. I loved how she looked down at me and smiled regularly during the show. I guess I was pretty enthusiastic and singing along, as one of the only ones in the front.
  
• Gossip. Because sometimes big personalities just need more space, I guess.
• The Fashion. It's just too good for dancing.
• Our camp, because as mentioned before: age means nothing. So inspite of being THE oldest person there, and the youngest being about 4-5 years my junior, they were pretty fucking awesome.
• The weather, dammit!
• Bagels, bagels, BAGELS.
  

Downs:

• I guess I just wasn't in that festival mood.
• Being short of friends down there. There were really only two people I really knew at Roskilde this year. Could've done with a few more, just for kicks.
• Sickness at the end.
  

Regarding that last point, I'm still not on top. I guess it's my body's own personal tradition to get sick at the end of Roskilde and expanding it into the next week. I could really use a dose of my healing last year, where I went to a tiny shack without kitchen, toilet, or electricity on Bornholm. I remember how she was sick as well and we spent three days being pathetic and reading. It was perfect.

Not this year though. I have work. It's boring. And I miss my government funded SU already.

Anywho. I'm almost out of time and I have yet to research fonts for my next tattoo. I'll probably get that soon. Yay.

Bye!

PS: this song is love.

ROSKILDE.

Mike Skinner, will you marry me?

Thank you for one of the greatest gigs of my life (even if it busted my knee). And during "Never Went To Church"? Your words: "Sorry, I got a bit emotional on stage". Well, hell. I was crying my bloody eyes out. I just love the lyrics. They remind me of my own late father.

Other highlights:

• Kate Nash - AMAZING!!!!!!! Seriously great, especially when she did "Birds", one of my very favorite songs atm.
• Gossip - because Beth Ditto is cool.

And our camp, because age ain't nothing but a number, kiddos.

I love Roskilde. Right now I'm at my mom's, though. Desperately needed a shower and decent food. Going back later though. The Fashion and Lykke Li are among the goodies today.

Oh, and I basically broke my laptop back home. So don't expect too much posting.

Showershowershower, I love thee!

"Oh woaw".

I'm so tired. I desperately need to relax. So much that I'm considering skipping the grad-party tonight. But only maybe. Because this one is in Copenhagen so I can always just go home. Yeahh. I just talked myself into going.

Last night was fucking insane. I got so drunk. SO SO drunk. Seriously. I spent most of the night talking to Dominik and chugging down beer. And dancing with Johannes, which was really strange. He was acting particularly weird and flirty yesterday. And that's just like, "wtf, mate?"? Anywho, I crashed at Dominik's place because it was the closest place available except for my car (been there, done that, it's freezing!). We watched a bunch of Family Guy and this morning, he kept mentioning things I apparently said, but don't remember. Whoa, I was wasted. It was fun.

Tomorrow is ROSKILDEEEEE! For reals now. Tomorrow is mainly MGMT for me (and it's gonna be a PARTY!) and mayyybe Radiohead. Not sure. Anywho, I'm staying down there until Sunday.

Have a good one.

Hi.

I'm busy. But tonight I am doing absolutely nothing for the first time in weeks. Chillin'. I'll probably get bored.

Right now, I need to shower (I'm hungover and my clothes smell like beer) and then I'm off to Roskilde for the afternoon. Just for a quickie, hah.

I love having a car at my disposal. My mom should go on vacation more often. I HEART the Skoda!
Ish. As least I would if it had cup-holders.

Why do I always do these posts when I have absolutely no time for it?

Anywho. Bye.

And PS? I'm really weirdly excitedly happy, which isn't like me in these situations (I know, I'm so bloody cryptic!)

PPS, I can't stop listening to this song:
