Balder - Bladet for sivilarbeidere har i skrivende stund starta en blogg. Balder har vært hjem for Fakta fra Verden siden 2003 og huser for tiden ymse som Sivile serier og I Fremtiden.
Med andre ord, sjekk det ut.

Sunday sketch
A facts from the World idea sketch, which I never did, because I was already featuring to many Idols jokes at the time. I guess by now it´s an anachronism. I sure hope so.
It´s about ordinary people jumping the Idols bandwagon and pandering for SMS-votes, so they won´t get expelled from society.

No future
Og der var det slutt for denne gang med I Fremtiden. Takk til alle lesere og støttespillere som har vært med på veien.
Vi skal nok ikke se bort i fra at det kommer mer, men for nå har Fremtiden en pause. Nyt arkivet.
Takk for nå.

So much much music, so little time
With the wealth of music available now, I realise I will always be a latecomer to great bands. Just check out this clip, it´s AWESOME!
Here´s another band which recently blew my mind, thanks to the miracle of Spotify:

Wussup?
Not much happening on the blog the last coupla weeks, apart from soundart n sketches. Thing is, I been busy putting the finnish Facts from the World-book together, plus TV-season has started again, so new comix for Boktid are due. Add to that the nice people of Fjord asked me to do a little thing for them.
So, the Facts-book might be the nicest one yet. 100 facts, culled from over six years of production. Also featuring a smashing intro-text from the one and only mr. Ville Hänninen.
The book will be out on publisher Arktinen Banaani. We are aiming for a release date at friday the 17th of April, so mark that day off in your calendars. Exact times and venues are still to be confirmed, but I heard a rumor that something might happen sometime at the Norwegian embassy...
Apart from that, I just handed over a four panel version of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn´s "A day in the life of Ivan Denisovitch" , it will be aired on FST5 the 31st this month. It´s a goodie, if I may say so myself.
Last but not least, Do check out this week´s edition of NYTliite, it features artwork from yours truly.

Where would we be without John Cage?
Most probably in the exact same place we are now, but slightly more bored.
4,33. Just listen to that.

Tuesday night soundart II
This time, Otto Luenig and Vladimir Ussachevsky performing early musique concrete, or Tape music, if you will. Delia Darbyshire and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop took this form of composing later to still unmatched standards.
Shoutout: Finn comix blogs!
I would really recommend you to take some time to explore the finn comix blogosphere.
This is a nice starting point.
If you want me to do the picking for you, I would recommend Olli´s and Mari´s blog.
If your finnish ain´t too good, don´t worry, they even translate their stuff now and then.

Dear Obama
Okay, you´ve had the job for a week now and have already pledged to close Guantanamo, lifted the gag rule on US aid, implemented stricter emissions regulations for auto makers, made numerous diplomatic initiatives to the muslim world, as well as pledged to negotiate directly with Iran.
You are making the rest of us look like lazy gits. Can you chill a bit?
