The Oowees release party was great. They played a long set including all four songs off "The Oowee Beat". Also I got the new Crypt record, scanned it and put it on the site. Only a thumb as of yet. More and larger scanns coming up. Happy new year.

Wednesday 29-12-2004
I'm up and kicking with a new central processing unit. The old one was a P4 clocked from 1,6 to 2,0. The new one is a P4 clocked from 2,0 to 2,5. What a rush!

Thursday 23-12-2004
FB mixed up the information. The release party is at Hawk. The Oowees will play St. Croix huset early 2005 though. Yesterday Esben and I worked on what is to be Moonshine's debut release. It's a 7" vinyl single with one song on each side. You can have some more information on that in january. I also did some MD to CD transferring for Pablo Pækkis who now has moved out of Farmannsgate 1 back to Moss.

Monday 20-12-2004
Here's an Oowees article in FB 's internet edition focusing on "The Oowee Beat". It states that the release party will take place at St. Croix huset 30-12. Nice. I was at Månen Musikkselskab's excellent x-mas party [julebord] on friday and missed out on the Crypt concert yet again. I haven't received volume 11 yet, but it was handed out on friday as planned.

Wednesday 08-12-2004
Esben was here to scan some Roky pictures for the news-papers and told me there was a Oowees review in FB today. It got four out of six [terningkast]. Here is the scan, man!

Friday 03-12-2004
Yes. The Oowees' debut single "The Oowee Beat" is out now on Sneakers Records. It arrived tuesday and I went to Glenn's tattoo shop where I picked up six copies. There will be a release party in december or january. The location will probably be Dis. The sleeve was done by Glenn and the mastering was done by me as previously reported. You can buy the release here at Focus Studios for 60 nkr. It spins at 45 rpm and goes by the catalogue number SNEAK 18. This is a black vinyl release with two songs on each side. The music is somewhere between power pop and fuzz pop. It was pressed at Gramofonove Zavody. For scans and even more details check it in the discography. The band playing The Crypt today is Freezepop.

It's a private job for Lars Emil Andreasen, so you cannot hear it, but Ivan is working on a new record and I will keep you updated. Occupy are finished recording and are now mixing their album. We have done some more work on the sleeve.

I've also moved my drum-kit to FORK and I was just there to try the Denon DN-2600F player. They have a nice setup and I'll practice more on the DN-2600F later in the week. I better make some playlists. Let's see... I could play... stoner? death and doom? polar? lo-fi? dream-pop? Upgraded Winamp to 5.03. See software.

I was at Peru You's "Heartships & Shipwrecks" release-party at Mono in Oslo on Sunday. Christian put my name +1 on the guest list. Everything was lined up for a perfect evening. The place was completely crowded with people and the band played a full concert and sounded great as always. I don't think they played the cd. Perhaps they forgot to? I didn't hear it anyway. I shot around 60 photographs using my HP Photosmart 850. You'll see some of them here at flamencopeko.net soonish. In the middle of the show the band introduced the crowd to the album's collaborators, myself included. I mixed and played some keyboard on track 8. I was called to the stage and was given a bottle of mighty fine whiskey. Ole said something like 'Ole Morten, MC Peko, Fredrikstads svar på Speedy Gonzales, kom til scenen'. The cover charge was 50 nkr. Peru You sold all their releases at a table and people were buying. Other celebs in audience included Aleksander Kloster-Jensen, Natalie, Morten Svanæs, Terje Royter and Fredrik Solberg. The band's previous releases have gotten some pretty great reviews and it shall be exciting to see how well their new album is received. I'll have some copies at my studio so you can drop by and buy it if you'd like to. Thanks to Ivan for lending me his 128 MB SD card, to Morten for letting me sleep over in his apartment, to Rune for giving me a ride from Fredrikstad to Oslo, to Fredrik for giving me a ride back home and to Terje for photo assistance. Check out "Heartships & Shipwrecks" in the discography.

Sunday 20-06-2004
Knut Ole and I was at a Golden Age Music demo in Alingsås, Sweden yesterday to check out some new hardware. Nice stuff.

Friday 18-06-2004
