Spring huh? My city (Tromso, northern Norway) just broke YET another
snow-record...2 meters/allmost 7 feet!!!!!! of snow!!!! and its allmost
MAY!!!!!
I seriously doubt I'll experience ANY sort of spring/summer this
year..hehe

Enuff' of that. About acid jazz going mainstream... Norwegian TV
channels have been using more and more acid jazz (or related) music for
commercials and info-spots/ad's about their own shows. The Norwegian
version of Jeapordy have been using Portishead for ages now, and one
channel are using more and more Ninjatune stuff.
I guess that's ok... i dont mind..i think (im not sure yet i guess).
What i DO mind tho is the mediocre jungle tracks ive heard here and
there (some car ad's for example)...if they had paid peshay or photek or
whoever to use their music that would have been ok..but its so obvious
that they have had a *non-junglist* (in lack of a better term) to make
jungle.

Ahh..i just remembered..some shampoo comercial or whatever (skin
moisteriser maybe?) actually used a Incognito sample ("loooooove
looove...looOOOooove..." you know the one...the title have slipped my
mind)..that was REALLY anoying since their version SUCKED to say the
least!

ok..ill stop bitching... just done EVER mention the word "spring"
again...ok? ;)
