Ukulele FTW!

Today I finally managed to upload the videos from when I were at the Trellebelle ukulele orchestra. I took while to figure out how to compress the videos but evetually I got the codes and program to work.

  So what can I say about the band? They make covers of 60's hits with ukuleles and they're fucking awesome!

Ukuleles + costumes= awesome

I love the kinks original version of "You really got me", but the uke solo might

just make this version even more awesome.

Is it starting to get expensive trashing guitars Jimi Hendrix style?

Ukuleles are cheaper!

Their version of "Penny lane", one of my favorite Beatles songs that I didn't know

was made by Beatles. I heard David Bowie's cover and  didn't know it was a cover..

damn youtube uploaders that never write proper descriptions..

Trellebelle's cover might not reach the musical standards of the original but thanks to the

ukuleles it's equal in awesomness!

Wikipedia fact; Uke can be used an abbreviation of ukulele and have absolutely nothing to do with yaoi. 

Wow my first entry that wasn't finished in the middle of night! Have a nice afternoon and evening everyone!

Syntjuntan

Yesterday I was at a kind of synth sewing workshop at malmöfestivalen with Aneta.
 It started with a not too melodic concert with the people leading the workshop. I can't honestly say I was disappointed when it was cut short due to the heavy rain, even though I'm like syntheziers and exprimental music. it was interesting to watch and listen to for a while anyway.

Then we got to the fun part where they handed out the "sewing kits" and everyone got to make their own synth. The main idea was to make a really simple synth with a circuit, capacitor and LDR(ligh dependent resistor) but instead of soldering the pieces together we used metallic thread to stitch them together.

Materials and instructions.

Almost finished.

A video of my synth in action. I forgot to film the grand finale of the workshop when everyone performed together.. but trust me, your ears are grateful that I did.

Random art at Malmöfestivalen

Today I was at a swedish city festival with Aneta. We mainly went there to go to some kind of synth workshop and an awesome ukulele consert but I'm way to tired to write about them tonight. So here's some pictures of the art we saw on our way  from the bus station to the yellow living room/tire home to the 60's tent^^

enough to wear purple eye shadow.

TG Night Club

Yesterday I was at videogame night club. It was a fun idea and I think could've been a succes if it hadn't been at the same time as a festival and a gaming convention in the same city. Now it kind of failed since there were hardly any people at the club..
 But thanks to a friend who wanted to dress up and a silent hill cosplayer I still got som great pictures^^

No matter how great it looks on a picture, exposing your neck when
someones trying to decapite you isn't the best thing to do..

All non alchoholic but still tasteful.

Terrible picture, awesome sign.

Textile graffiti ftw!

When Pyramid Head isn't molesting nurses he likes to take of
the mask and pose for cute snapshots.

Doesn't that  sign remind you of the creepy dancing kid from the Cure's video to Boys don't cry?

And here's Pyramid head again to bid you all farewell with an awesome dance!

(yeah I forgot that it's a bit more difficult to rotate a video than a picture when I filmed this.. but Silent hill is supposed to be messed up^^;)

Scrapped card dedicated to our new blog

I must start to say, much cred to Lina who made this super-awesome layout. :)

I'm Emily, the other owner of this blog.
My main idea is to scrap, since I've recently started scrapbooking.
I just love making stuff with paper and all kinds of decorations.

Here's the card dedicated to Locomoi:

Well, guess it's time for bed now, so goodnight everybody! ^^

Time to start writing!

Since I've been spending way to much time designing this blog and the logo I decided it's about time to actually write something. It was just the slight problem that I didn't have anything to write about..
  After a while I realized the fact that I got my new camera today, a lovely aqua-colored ixus, that ordered partly to take pictures for this blog.
  Maybe I could write about that?
But not knowing enough about photography to write something actually useful it only be one of those everyday event entries that I myself find plain boring. Eventually when I took some test pictures I remembered I do have a litle tip I can share (that doesn't take a lot time and effort to write down, like a guide on how to your own lolita head pieces, that kind of stuff's coming soon, promise!).
 Do you have a lot of old stuff lying around at home that's just to cute, scary, beautiful to throw away?
Just arrange the items together and pretend it's art! That's what I did^^
Here's my creations: "Ballerina murders cat at a snake infested windmill" and "Mr. Cat and Mr. Dragon doesn't like the sun"
Creative names, ne?^^;


Lastly I want to remind everyone what a great band Malice Mizer was with a wonderfull piece of caffeine-substitute. It was the fact that I couldn't stop listening to them that kept me at the computer long enough to write this even though I really wanted to go and play Final Fantasy vii..
