Music isn't something you hear, it's something you feel. I like music because songs say what I can't.

Danish RAP and Danish ROCK

September has been a month of live experiences. Two concerts and in all 23 artists.

Starting off with the rap, it was the 25th anniversary of Danish rap where a total of 21 of the biggest rap artist from Denmark performed at an almost completely full TIVOLI (same place 30STM had their concert in june). I went to this concert with some friends as a start of a tradition, because even though I'm not into the whole rap scene, this night was unforgettably cool. The lineup showed names as


I have got to say that these guys will bring the inner gangster out of you. You will be headbanging and throwing hand signs for a week - just saying.
The best part of the show was and will always be MC Einar. This man is epic, that is all there is to say about him. Even if you don't like rap, you can't help but feel a bit nostalgic when seeing him live. I remember analyzing one of his songs in a danish class in 8th grade (or somewhere around there).








And here are some of the (poorly taken) pictures from the concert.

Next we are moving to the most important part of this post. The Danish rock - because there are no doubts that the Danish ROCK kicks the Danish RAP's ass.

This concert also took place in TIVOLI, and it was the closing performance of the season we call Friday-Rock in TIVOLI. Through the summer TIVOLI books artists to perform every Friday, and this was the last one. It was actually a combination of two artists: VETO and THE FLOOR IS MADE OF LAVA

I went there for my best friends 19th birthday, and we got to be in front row in the middle. Best view!
Now, I have never actually been listening to these two bands, but after this I will. Especially The Floor Is Made of Lava, who was the main act, was LEGENDARY.
Unfortunately it was their goodbye concert. They will be taking some time off, and maybe they won't come back. One can always hope that they will, because never have I seen such energy coming from four men up on one stage. It was amazing to be able to watch them at their best, but sadly I will not have that experience again.
When the concert was over, the night didn't end. A lot of the audience went home, but being a hardcore fan, one of my friends wanted to stay, just to see if anything happened.
And something did...
After a while we had gotten two of the setlists - one for Laura (my best friend) and one for one of the other girls. But it didn't end there. Laura got to go backstage with one other person. I wish it could have been me, but I have got to say, that she did deserve it. It was her birthday after all.

As for the two bands: VOTO is an electronic-rock band, which is something I haven't listened to a whole lot, but I thought it was cool.

 
VETO - You Are A Knife. This was one the the songs they played, and even though I didn't know the words, it wasn't too hard singing a long.


THE FLOOR IS MADE OF LAVA is a good old rock band. Rock when it's best. They gave all what they had and the performance was amazing, did I already say that? Well, you need to hear it again. AMAZING.



THE FLOOR IS MADE OF LAVA - A Place In The Sun. This was also on the setlist, and I thought that it was one of those special ones. You know that one song that is just magical. It was especially on that stage. The music video is a bit controversial, but it has a great message, watch it :)


THE FLOOR IS MADE OF LAVA - Lost In The Woods was another song on the setlist, and another one of the special ones. Just imagine the crowd singing this with all their heart (me included). It is always such an amazing feeling when that happens whether you are in the crowd or up on stage (i can only imagine).

And to end off, I will add some of the pictures i took of this amazing band:



This guy was so cool. The whole concert through he has his cigarette in his mouth and his cap on backwards.



Official photo taken from the concert. Yep, that is me (leatherjacket) and my best friend (red hair).

The photo taken when Laura met the lead singer of The Floor Is Made of Lava backstage.

And as a little bonus comment, the lights of the concert were so cool. These pictures do not give it justice, but as Laura said "there are so many good photo-opportunities" (note: Laura wants to be a photographer, so she'll know stuff like that ;) ).

30 Seconds to Mars is coming to Denmark again!!!!

Just found out today!

Tickets on sale from thursday. I am sure I will be in line for those!!!!

They will be playing at this stage near my school. It's actually kind of funny. The first day of school all the new students went to this stage to hear the dean and the senior board members talk, and all I could think about was how awesome it would be to have a concert in there. I was sitting on one of the crappiest seats, but it was still a really good view. And right when my train of thought went to the amazing concert in Tivoli a few months earlier, they played a video with Kings and Queens as the background music. Was I exited or what?

But anyways, as I was thinking of a 30STM concert in that exact room, little did I know that just 15 days later, I would find out that that will actually be happening. Funny how things turn out.

Hmm maybe I have some sort of superpower. Wouldn't that be cool? To be able to see the future or make things happen that haven't already happened.

So to sign off today I will be posting the exact same song that was played for me in that room, leading me to the thought of 30STM playing in there. Here you have it: Kings and Queens, enjoy:

30STM VMA Best Rock Video: Up In the Air

ECHELON, OUR BOYS WON!

Now I didn't get to see the VMA's, because of the time differences causing to be in the middle of the dark night, and because I had a driving lesson this morning. But I'm excited anyways. Damn good job people!

SO here is there acceptance "speech".. Just look at how happy they got when they opened that convolute and how excited they were about the fans that they just went over there to group hug them :D

If this doesn't say gratefulness I don't know what will then.

And for the winning video (because of course; It has to be shown!!). Enjoy:

Seen any good movies lately?

Summer is almost over and the fall is hastily heading in this direction. I have had an amazing summer; I graduated from High School, went to Africa for a month, my University application got accepted and I'm spending the last days of my vacation to reload.
The thing is; since this summer has been so awesome, one could begin to fear that the fall won't live up to the standards its hotter fellow season has set. But not me.
Ironically it's raining as I write this, but that is a part of the Danish summer.

So back to the movies. Fall means school is starting and the weather is changing, but it also means that it's season for all the cool movies to premier and for the TV-shows to air again. For instance; a couple of days ago I saw the Percy Jackson 2 premier with my friend and I'm going to see the pre-release of The Mortal Instruments: The City of Bones next week. Later the TV series are coming. I am specifically waiting for How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, Awkward and on the top of my list SUPERNATURAL.

Less than a year ago a friend of mine showed me Supernatural, and since that time, I have watched and rewatched the whole series. SEASON 1-8. Check it.

So this post is not really about music, but I thought that I would be okay since The main part of my other posts are about just that.

So I will sign off with a lovely music video with the lovely Kevin Zegers who plays the lovely (and hardcore) shadowhunter Alec in The Mortal Instruments.
The is by Rock Mafia and the nane; The Big Bang. Enjoy:

WELCOME BACK (to me)

Yes I am back again. Maybe some are wondering where the heck I've been, but I can tell you that I have a good reason for being gone this time.

I was in Africa.

No shit I actually was in Africa. Tanzania to be more exact. I was with my drama group on a tour through the country and we performed in different cities with this Tanzanian group; Ngoma Africa. Fun, fun, fun. But this is the reason I haven't updated for a loooooooooong time now.

Sorry, I'm not sorry.

Oh well but..... Okay the trip wasn't without sacrifice. We left the 2nd of July - THE SAME DAY GREEN DAY AND ALL TIME LOW CAME TO DENMARK. I had mixed feelings. I was so sad that I didn't get to see them live, but I was so excited to go to freaking Africa on tour. How many people will ever experience that? Not many.

So all summer I've been listening to Afro Jazz on humungus speakers which made the sound go all !"#z¤!!x%&/( and hurt your ears. Greeeeaaaaaaat, but you have no idea how nice it is to just relax with no music AT ALL WHAT SO EVER. But you know I can't go long without music, so that is why I'm gonna sign off with one of my favorite songs at the moment: 30 Seconds to Mars - City of Angels.

Enjoy:

Paramore in Denmark

Paramore guested Denmark yesterday. But the reason why I haven't been excited for that is that I couldn't go. I have my final exam today, so I needed to study and get a good nights sleep. I am still not over the rush I got from the 30STM concert this Friday. I just saw an interview Jared Leto did with a danish TV-station. I remember sitting in the crowd and my friend turning to me pointing and saying "it's him, it's Jared". Even though you couldn't see his face you knew it was him. One guy with a black hoodie being escorted by guards and a camera crew, there is no way it could have been any other person.

But back to Paramore. yes I'm sad that I didn't get to see them, but today is all about me graduating high school. I can only hope to see them the next time the visit Denmark.
