Björk og Roskilde
Årets højdepunkt på Roskilde Festival var for mig Björks koncert søndag aften.
Hun spillede kendte sange, men de fleste af dem i fuldstændig omskrevne udgaver, så det var næsten som at høre et nyt album. Meget skramlende, skrattende og eksperimenterende, men også ret fantastisk.
Lyset på scenen var meget afdæmpet og roligt, men det viste sig, at hun havde besluttet sig at bruge et levende lysshow: I slutningen af den tredje sang hun spiller, går femten flammekastere på scenen i gang, og et gigantisk festfyrværkeri over det orange telt knalder og brager i skøn forening med musikken. Det var helt ekstatisk.
Se billeder fra Björks koncert og resten af festivallen her. (Hvad sker der i øvrigt med hendes øre-beklædning..? ;-) )

The Orgasmotron

I bought this peculiar device at the festival. While looking like a broken, oversized whisk, it actually provides degrees of pleasure, that you wouldn't imagine.
You put it on top of your head with the copper ends touching the scalp, slowly moving it up, down and sideways. See it in action here.
According to the guy at the store, the Orgasmotron is "unleashing the power of copper, freeing electric impulses from the brain". Well, maybe not.
Anyway: It's insanely good. I can't put it to words - you'll have to try it!

Roskilde Festival
Phew... I'm slowly coming back to life after the Roskilde Festival. I got back to Copenhagen on monday after four days with too much play and too little sleep. To finish myself off completely, I went with Niki and Asger to the HUGO Awards at Film and Media Studies (pictures here), got back at six in the morning and on for work at Forbrugerinformationen at nine... Today has just been recovery, and with a slight cold tickeling in my throat, I guess it was well needed.
