Kan du lugte det?

Welcome to the inaugural posting on my new (mostly) music-related website, "Kan du lugte det?" ("Can you smell it?" in Danish).

You might be thinking, inaugural post, doesn't that imply the first posting on the website? Then whats going on? Well, I have decided to begin by journeying back in time to the end of January to re-live with you all several amazing concerts I had the privilege to attend.

Assuming (hoping!) I find a job in the near future, I'm looking to head to Scandinavia this summer with a friend of mine to check out one of their huge music festivals, most likely the Roskilde Festival (taking place in a midieval city outside Copenhagen) or the new Hove Festival (taking place on an island in the south of Norway). They're about a week apart and both boasting sick lineups, so it will probably come down to timing and cost. Roskilde is infamous among Danes and Hove looks really promising (can't beat a beach!), so hopefully I'll be able to attend one of them and recount the leadup, the festival experience and post-festival impressions here. If anyone has any ideas/thoughts/recommendations, I'd love to hear them!

I'm planning on updating the blog at least once a week (but likely more often) with my latest musical passions, assuming schoolwork doesn't get too much in the way. If you're interested, I've included on the right links to several music blogs I frequent and an updating last.fm list of the artists I've listened to most in the past week. I'll leave you with a cartoon.

Cheers!
