Capture the Light

Just felt like sharing this with you.

Unfortunately it's in Norwegian, but I think you can still look at the pictures and the music and get something out of it.

Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten gathered their photographers for a seminar, during which they were asked to take pictures "capturing the light". Click on where it says "2 bilder og lyd" and you get a compilation of the photos they took. Just beautiful.

For Norwegians with a couple of minutes extra to spare, the other video is also worth a look.

Maybe I should take up photograhping huh?

Sweet Nostalgia

You like me?

You grew up with the first Nintendo, the Sega Megadrive and the revolutionizing Super Nintendo? You remember those good old driving games? One of my favourites was Top Gear on the Super Nintendo, which among other things had really, really cool music.

And it seems I'm not the only one who thinks so. In the youtube clip under you can hear the original start-up song for the game, British rockband Muse's sampling of the song and lastly but not leastly, Brazilian game-metal band Megadrive's version of a song from the game!

Megadrive ang game-metal is a gem for a nostalgian like myself, although some of it is a little too metal-like for my taste. The quality of their clip on youtube is not too good, but if you enter their site you can find mp3 quality clips of their songs. I recommend the Top Gear song Let's go, plus of course the Sonic the Hedgehog stuff..

Music of ze week III

For those of you who know a bit about Norwegian, do you recognize what song and what band Seimen is doing a cover of?

And for those of you who play guitar hero, notice how much cooler the Stones' song is in the original version?
