Great songs: Such Great Heights - The Postal Service

One thing I really can miss when traveling is listening to music. When on holiday with family it's not a good time to listen to an mp3-player... I usually really don't notice it before I get really irritated for no reason, and then I realize that I haven't listened to music for a few days. After about 15 minutes of good music all is back to good :)

An example of a great song that I never get tiered of is "Such Great Heights" by The Postal Service. It is now used in a Norwegian commercial, so I am sure you will hear it on the radio to soon. I discovered The Postal Service about a year ago, as I was searching for similar artists to Lali Puna online. The intro has the same kind of "blipp blopp" sound as Lali Puna often use and it's something about the bass and the drums to. It somehow makes me feel safe and happy this song. It's so light and so groovy at the same time. I really love the voice of Ben Gibbard (who is maybe more known as the vocalists from Death Cab for Cutie). Another similarity with Lali Puna songs is that it can just float in the background for hours and is really good to work to. Most of The Postal Service music is like that too. Here it is. Enjoy!

Life: Back from Rome!

One of my 440 photos of Rome. This is a view over the city from the Aqua Paola Fountain and is the first view I saw of Rome when I first visited a few years ago, so it means a lot to me. All I could think was... "WOW.. I am so lucky to be spending 2,5 weeks here..."

Hello good people, I am back from Rome :) There will be more about this later in the blog as soon as my stomic flue ends, the cat stops killing birds all over my living room and I get my job interview done tomorrow :)

Travel: Rome

A few years ago I went to Rome as a study trip for two and a half week. It was so amazing. This city really blew my mind, and on Sunday I am going back for a week, so there will be a lot of Rome blogging going on this week ;) This is an amazing video of three young people describing how Rome blew their mind. I know how they feel. It's exactly how I felt. Watch and enjoy!
