Julen varer længe ...

Arbejdstiden kan i forvejen være lang nok, hvis man arbejder i butik. Endnu længere bliver dagene, når alle mennesker skal købe julegaver inden jul. Der er længe åbent, også lørdag og søndag, og stress-niveauet er stigende. Mellem jul og nytår skal en pæn del julegaver byttes med et smil, og så går den vilde jagt igen, når folk skal ud og købe det hele til den halve pris på udsalg den 2. januar. Det er kattenriveme mig ikke altid lige morsomt at være butiksansat i den søde juletid. Jeg prøvede det engang i sidste århundrede, men dengang var lukkeloven ikke liberaliseret ...

Se, hvordan arbejdstidsreglerne ved juletid for de butiksansatte er - og sammenlign evt. med din egen priviligerede tilværelse ...

Camilla Läckberg

Hazeldine

My favorite alt country and americana band is the female trio Hazeldine from New Mexico! - sadly, the girlz have gone their separate ways, so I was lucky to catch the last european concert date in Hamburg, Germany on June 4, 2001. They once performed at the Loreley Festival, that concert was on german TV, but so far no fans have shared the music on YouTube.

But luckily some nice people have made a small movie set to music by Hazeldine´s "Tarmac". Watch, listen, enjoy!

Flying ...

So, who are those fabulous furry freaky flying burrito brothers? - well, when Chris Hillman left The Byrds and joined forces with Gram Parsons, also for a short time a member of those Byrds, a unique band was formed: The Flying Burrito Brothers, the ultimate country-rock band, whose debut album The Gilded Palace Of Sin from 1969 still is a landmark in the music history. Just listen to the opening riffs of Christine´s Tune.

Read the bio on Wikipedia and take a closer look at the Byrdwatcher. See the band all dressed up and in good company. By the way, the first two LPs by FFB are now available on one CD with bonus tracks, and you´ll notice, that one of the songs has inspired the name of my profile: Image Of Me, that´s me for sure.

Greek music favorites

Travellin´ to many greek islands over the past years has turned me into a greek music freak. Some of my colleagues think I´m crazy, when I tune in to a greek web radio station, but this deeply disturbed mind enjoys those mediterranean sounds!

My favorite artists are female singers like Haris Alexiou and Eleftheria Arvanitaki. I am not even bragging, when I claim to have the biggest and most complete collection in Denmark of recorded works by these artists!

You need to be convinced of the quality of these singers? - well, check out two Haris Alexiou favorites: Apopse Thelo Na Pio and To Tango Tis Nefelis. And two classic Eleftheria songs: Dinata, Dinata and Meno Ektos.

Hovedet på bloggen!

Først tænkte jeg at sådan en blog kunne hedde Bullshit Generation. Men nu skal vi jo være seriøse i både Slagelse og Roskilde. På én gang! - så gik jeg til musikkens verden. Så ku´ bloggen måske også bruges til at blogge om andet end at blogge, for dét vil jeg nok ikke deltage i gennem længere tid.
