I’ve put Brushes on my iPhone home screen with the intention of drawing something every day. It hasn’t been every day sadly, but still I’m getting something done every once in a while. Here’s one from sunday night. More on Flickr.

I’ve made these into a desktop background. So now I’m craving coke all the time. Even more than before.

One of my favorites so far from the always good and at times surprising blog about how to dress like your idols, nerdboyfriend.
I would wear any one or all of these items.

Oh Land is danish musician Nanna Øland Fabricius. After her first record was released, she got picked up by Epic and she’s now traveling all over the world writing songs with guys that we all want to write songs with.
I once met Nanna at what I think was one of her first gigs as Oh Land. It was at Stengade30 here in Copenhagen. The place was filled. I don’t think it was filled because of her though, as back then she was still just an upcoming MySpace band known by few. I had never heard of her.
Oh Land was already on stage, when I arrived and at the very first listen I loved what I heard. And the girl. Oh man, the girl. At that time the band consisted only of Nanna, Oh Land herself, two choir girls and a white Macbook. All the girls had matching black dresses so you suppose it would be hard to tell them from each other. But it was so clear that Nanna was the lead. The way she moved and looked and sang. I’m aware that it’s a cliche to say, but she owned that stage. And in such a seemingly casual way.
But of course I had to be a dick about it. Later that evening I caught Nanna in the door and jumped right into it.
Aren’t you the girl from the band? I really liked it. But did you really do it all yourself? Often times it’s just a guy who do all the music and the girl is only there for the singing and looking good.
What was I thinking? I had really liked what I saw and heard, so I think I just had to know if the wonder was complete, if she really was that talented. But why did I ask her in a way that sounded so much like an insult? If she hadn’t done it herself, I would insult her. If she had done it herself it would’ve been an insult to her gender. Nice going, Mikkel.
Luckily she just smiled and said that, Yes, she had made it all herself. She was nice too? Oh come on!
I went home and ripped the few demoes off of MySpace that I could and put them on repeat. This was before her first record Fauna was releaed. I loved them. Preordered the album. Loved it. I’ve been to numerous Oh Land shows since that first one (including the one in Århus with a complete symphony orchestra). And every time I’ve walked away stunned over just how good, how sexy Nanna is.

With regards to my post about not noticing lyrics, here’s proof that lyrics don’t matter.

![Animal Collective’s My Girls is #1 in Pitchfork’s Top100 tracks of ‘09
[My Girls is] Panda Bear’s promise to provide a proper house for his wife and young daughter, in the wake of his father’s death. [It] is ultimately a celebration of the simplification- of desire, of priorities- that comes with growing up.- Amanda Petrusich
This album is my most listened to in 2009. And still it took me several months — maybe half a year — to notice what any of the songs are about. I tend to automatically only listen to the melodies and compositions and completely ignore the lyrics until someone or -thing makes me aware of them.
This is somewhat sad and I know it, but I’ve come to accept that’s just how I do it. I (apparently) don’t care how the artist is feeling. I want to hear if he can make me hum along and imagine how he made all that stuff sound like this.](http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kuqrhdnqx21qzu5hwo1_500.jpg)

Clark & Michael, Episode 1
This is so great. I enjoy everything Michael Cera. He’s got such brilliant timing and his characters — no matter how silly — always have my sympathy.
The 10 minute web series format is kind of cool. Do you know of any other series like this I need to see?

Kung Fu Grippe feed without the 90's music
Do you like Kung Fu Grippe but are getting a bit tired of all the 90’s grunge songs, that Merlin keeps posting then this Pipe is for you.
It’s most certainly way too basic. It just filters out posts with mentions of www.youtube.com.
I really like Merlin but he’s from another generation. I’m aware that he grew up with these songs, but I didn’t. I’m not suggesting that he should post songs from my growing up because then I would have to filter out Hanson, Barbie Girl and everything euro-dance.
Don’t be a hater — filter!

Is this my league now? Some teenage girl made this kind of mash-up of Danish celebrities and put it on Facebook. I know ‘cause she tagged me and she’s — well — a fan. Everyone is a comedian or musician and they’re all successful in their field and have been so for several years.
All but one. Me. Number two from the right in the bottom. I was in 8 episodes of a tv-show. 8 episodes that’ve only been on tv in the past 2 months. I’ve not even been doing comedy for one year yet. (In 10 days I have!)
I’ve met a few of my famous friends, but I know who they all are and what they do. I’d be more than surprised if that was also true the other way around.
I guess I’m proud that someone wasted time in Photoshop to make a picture of famous people and me.

It’s obvious to me that the people behind Scrubs have been watching a liiittle bit of Lyle The Intern before writing up this new guy. But where Lyle is lovable and harmless this guy is a creepy douche. (Be sure to watch the whole playlist of Lyle visits if you haven’t already. It’s hilarious every time.)
It’s nice to have Scrubs back on though. It was my favourite series some years ago and I still enjoy it. But I’m afraid we’re just going to watch these new cast additions end up learning the same lessons as we saw J.D. and the gang experience 7 seasons ago.
