Inspired by Seth Godin’s blog post from December 30, in which he points out that it’s a good exercise to sit down and look back on each year that passes and visualize to yourself what you managed to “ship” – that is, in Godin’s terminology, what you managed to put into the world – including […] Read More…
Heading for Berlin today (with bus now, not plane) to have a few meetings and (being the reason for the trip in the first place) attend the Study World conference to represent the Faculty of the Humanities of Aalborg University. Will be fun, I am really looking forward to going back after moving away from […] Read More…
After 6 months – that went by all too fast – I have now moved back to Denmark again, getting ready to hand in my master thesis on Friday (still a lot of work to before that). It was sad to leave Berlin and our nice apartment in Kreuzberg, but all things come to an […] Read More…
Just got a notice from Aalborg University that I again this year will be hired to represent the university at the annual Study World educational fair in Berlin in April – only this time on my own (last year we were four representatives, this year only one: Me). The purpose is to engage German students […] Read More…
Last night my girlfriend and I went to hear ex-punk rock band Blag Flag leadsinger Henry Rollins perform at Astra. Since phasing out his subsequent solo hard rock band, Rollins has been touring the world as a spoken word artist – although not in the traditional sense, but more of a political speech meets monologue […] Read More…
Okay, this is a bit weird. Some meetings are just so important that you need to attend them, even if it means going to another country. Tomorrow I have two of those, so I’ll be back in Denmark from tonight and 36 hours onwards. It’s a little strange to hit and run on your home […] Read More…
So, now we’re well into 2010. What a blast of a transition I had here in Berlin. My girlfriend and I had 40 friends over for a new year party here in our apartment, and with attendance of people from Germany, Denmark, United Kingdom, Ireland, United States and even Brazil, it was quite an international […] Read More…
Yesterday I went with my girlfriend to hear one of my all-time heroes, Grandmaster Flash, at Columbia Club here in Berlin – my first time in audience with the father of turntablism. It is hard to imagine what an immense impact Flash has had on contemporary music, but it is safe to say that it […] Read More…
I have a list of artists that I need to hear before a) they split up/quit or b) I’ll get too old and settled. One of the artists on that list is Chicago-based dj and producer Green Velvet. After having missed attending one of gigs while I lived in Chicago and New York during the […] Read More…
What a great weekend it was. My friend Jacob Rosengren came down to Berlin from Copenhagen, so I had the pleasure of acting as tourguide (it was his first time in the city) – enjoying ao. the impressive ost-architecture of Karl Marx Allee. Saturday night we went to the Pet Shop Boys concert for a […] Read More…
