Gaga-mania

So obviously my life is vey boring at the moment, since I'm only writing about pretty much anything but my own life.

Well today's post is about Lady Gaga. Or more specific the Lady Gaga style. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems as if everywhere I look Lady Gaga is taking over the stage of music. Both Beyonce ('Telephone' and  'Video Phone' - where Lady Gaga it really only written as "feat" so shouldn't it be B's style and not Lady Gaga's??) and now Christina Aguilera (with 'Not Myself Tonight') tend to do looks and videos in the Lady Gaga style. I guess, there's really nothing wrong with doing that, but especially Beyoncé bugs me, as a style like that isn't nowhere close to how she used to be - ever!

Also I like Lady Gaga because of her originality. Or maybe I should say that I respect her - because let's face it: not everything she has done is equally good. Like 'Let's Dance'; not really my favorite. But even when I really don't like her, I still respect her for having the guts to stand out in the crowd and be different. Like Madonna or Michael Jackson before her (some of you who are not Lady Gaga fans might get mad at me for comparing her to such great artists, but please bare with me).
And now that special thing about Lady Gaga seems to go missing - to me at least - when other people become almost identical with her. That's a shame, I think, and it's too bad for Lady Gaga because she can't really help it..

Well, I'm not going to say more now. You can judge for yourself:

Beyoncé feat Lady Gaga - 'Video Phone'

Christina Aguilera - 'Not Myself Tonight'

Alphabeat i Tivoli

Fredag aften (et par dage siden nu, det ved jeg) stod den på fredagsrock i Tivoli. Bandet der optrådte var Alphabeat. Det var en sindsyg fed oplevelse at se dem live; første gang for mit vedkommende.
Hele bandet fyrede den af, hvor den mandlige forsanger Anders Nielsen virkelig forstod at "udnytte scenen". Lille joke mellem mine veninder Tito (Tatiana) og Lala (Cecilia) og mig var at han måske havde røget lidt før han kom på scenen - hvis i forstår hvad jeg mener... ;b
Men men... alt i alt en rigtig godt koncert, selvom det i starten var lidt svært at høre vokalerne - også selvom vi var så heldige at komme ret tæt på.

Nedenunder et par (okay, rigtig mange - jeg undskylder på forhånd) billeder fra koncerten:


ENGLISH: Friday night (been a few day since then, I'm aware) I went to Tivoli to watch 'Alphabeat' perform. It was really awesome to see them live - I, myself, was a first-timer.
The entire band really knew how to put a show together, especially the male singer, Anders Nielsen understood the expression of "using the stage". - A little joke between my friends Tito (Tatiana) and Lala (Cecilia) and me was that he might have smoken a bit before he came on stage - if you know what I mean... ;)
But all-in-all it was a really great concert, even though it was a little hard to hear the vocals in the beginning - despise the fact that we were lucky enough to get quite close.


Here are a few (okay, a lot - I apologize) pictures from the concert:

Det er rigtigt, han er ved at lægge sig ned //

Yes, he's about to lie down in case you were wondering ;)

Keyboard: Rasmus Nagel

De brugte nogen af de mest seje lys-effekter til showet//

They just used the most amazing light-effects in their show

Mandlig forsanger: Anders Nielsen // Male vocal: Anders Nielsen

Sejt, ikk? Altså we troede alle tre at han ville falde ned... eller vælte højtalerne og smadre den... eller noget lign. //

Cool, huh? We all kind of thought that he would fall down... or wreck the speakers,,, or something like that

There once was a guy named Fred...

I was listening to "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen earlier today and I came to thinking how sad it is that people like Freddie Mercury doesn't exist anymore. I mean, sure there are still people that dress up extremely weird and has a great singing voice, but none of them really adds up to Freddie, do they? To me, there will never be one like him again. In a way it's sad, but then again; how lucky was we to have had him? Even if it weren't for long. Luckily his music still exist and we just have to enjoy that.

Looking back at what I just wrote, I find it ironic to base all this on the song "Bohemian Rhapsody". I don't know about you guys, but I never quite got that song... Well, of course I understand the message hidden in the text, but it seems like every verse has its own message and none of them really fits together - ergo there's no conclusion. And it's a bit weird too...

Well, I guess that was it for now. Hopefully the next blog will make a bit more sense ;D

Unknown band; A Sound Mind

Hey, it's Michelle here but you can just call me lunde - long story.

Just wanted to introduce you all for the amazing band; A Sound Mind. Their main genre is a mix between rock and alternative rock where they're merging a technology based orhestra with ambience and hard rock. It's very different from most other bands in this genres that I've heard

Short story on how I discovered this amazing band:
A while ago I was walking on a shopping street with some of my friends and this guy walks over to us and asks in english (I live in Denmark) if we like music. At first we think he's some weird guy and just answers yes, hoping we'll get rit of him soon even though the three of us all LOVE music. Then he asks us if we want to listen to a band. And we're a bit like; "hell yeah." And after we listened to half a song or something like that I was completely hooked and so was my friends.

They've only made one album (which we bought) as it's actually a non-profit recording bureau. And it's free from all that "we-just-want-to-be-rich-so-let's-screw-everyone-around-us" type of thing.

Their homepage is http://www.myspace.com/asoundmind and I really hope you'll check it out.

Peace, love, music
