My Music, My Jukebox: Ash

I was studying in Uppsala, Sweden, back in 2002. Seeing Ash at Göta Källare in Stockholm was a must. I was all prepared: tickets, my friend, my camera with an empty roll of film... So, when the gig started I was all ready. But suddenly my Ixus died. It didn't work, it just was n_o_t working. So I've got only a handful of photos from that gig which pretty much sucks.

But, later we got to meet the band. And had some drinks. And I guess that the, um, after-party was at Gondolen. But any way, I had so much fun.

I chose here two songs from my favorite Irish band (and, yeah, I know U2 is also local): Petrol (released as the second single from their 1994 album Trailer) and Oh Yeah (taken from their album 1977 released in 1996).

I've got quite a collection...

Mark Hamilton (bass, synthesizer)

Tim Wheeler (lead vocals, lead guitar, keyboards)

I had the setlist framed

"I sometimes wish it was that summer again

I still see her in my sleep

And hear the sighing of the summer wind

Still I don't regret one thing"

Ash: Oh Yeah

My No. 1 Plan for Tonight

I'll be getting some more #shit tonight. Third time is a charm!

Me luckey!

"I said uuuu, I'm a rebel in the dark.

I said uuuu, and this is how I've been since I was born.

Uuuu, I'm not a devil, not a god.

I said uuuu, I'm just a rebel in the dark."

We won our first rosette - me and Bruuttus!

O M G, that was scary! I can still remember my first time on competing in show jumping. 

I was all sweating and just trying to remember where I was supposed to be navigating...

Man, it was scary!

In Dedication to Robin Williams

This morning I read with great sadness that Robin Williams, the great actor, has passed away.

It is believed that he committed suicide due to depression and alcoholism that he had suffered for years. 

Robin Williams represents both Adrian Cronauer and Johan Keating to me - the roles he played in Good Morning, Vietnam, and Dead Poets Society - my favorite movies, and my favorite movie characters. I shall end this post by one of my favorite movie quotes. Hopefully it takes you back to that very special movie:

" I sound my barbaric yawp over the rooftops of the world".

Rest in Peace
