On the move

Blogspot is fun, but I figured it would be even more fun to give Wordpress another go. Since I've already got my own domain anyway, there's no reason why I shouldn't play around with it. Fresh start and all that. Sort of reminds me of the good old days with Movable Type, my first-last-and-only proper blog, which spammers sadly got the better of. See you on the other side.

We will never sever

I was wrong. Very wrong. Dubstep is my kind of dance music. It all boils down to the essence of the genre; the down-tempo beats, the nostril-tickling sub bass, and the occasional build-up that breaks up the monotone waves of motion and smashes you back down on the floor when the bass hits again.

So yes, I went to The Villa to see Skream, a relatively big name in the world of dubstep. Suffice it to say I haven't been to a more fun live set since Surkin at Hovefestivalen last year. Once we decided to leave the not-so comfortable safety of our table there was never going to be any turning back. And when I finally woke up in the PM I didn't feel as though I'd been through a terrorcore aerobics class either, so everything turned out great.

Sold my bed, no need to sleep these nights

What do people do on dubstep concerts/raves/whatever-you-call-it? You can't really jump or dance or shout along with the songs, but I'm sure I'll think of something. It's not as if it's a problem anyway. After all, the hundreds of times I've been to live shows I've mostly had my feet firmly set on the floor, one hand clutching a beer and the other in a pocket. Just like everyone else. Norwegian crowds are tough.

So I'm all set for witnessing a genuine dubstep performance on Friday. There really is a first time for everything. Not really my cup of tea, but dubstep is a tiny genre that practically nobody likes, so going to a show is going to give me that sweet feeling of being more eclectic and hence better than everyone else. Narcissism still is the most comforting place to go.

In other news I've been really bored for a few days. And when I get bored things like this happen: Website makeover (if you for some inane reason still insist on using Internet Explorer 6, don't expect too much. Instead go here or here or here and download an alternative web browser). The drawback is a severe change in my circadian rhytm; daylight saving time didn't help either.
