It’s Christmas time!

Well, not quite yet – but we’re getting there! And meanwhile, I always love to trawl through the Internet on December 1st to find all the goodies hidden in the forest of Advent calendars out there
I usually focus on the Norwegian ones, but if you’ve got tips about any international calendars, feel free [...]

Track 30 000: La Roux – Bulletproof

My scrobling counter on Last.fm just ticked past 30 000 this weekend, and the lucky track (among those recorded by Last.fm), was La Roux with Bulletproof. The song is one of my favourites on the self titled debut album from La Roux.
Are you on Last.fm? Make sure to add me It’s a great [...]

Treasure hunting!

A couple of weeks ago I discovered the site Geocaching.com, after reading a tweet from Anders Brenna. Since I recently got a new phone with built in GPS, a HTC Hero, I started thinking this could be a cool way to use it a little more than just confirm my position whenever I am on [...]

The movie was released on May 3rd online, and [...]

The Seamless Music Experience

With all the sources for music we have today, one thing has struck me: The hassle of playing the music you want – when you are never able to find everything you want in one place.
As you know, I am using Spotify for most of my musical experience these days. However, there are a few [...]

JaranCharts for 2008

These charts have been recorded by Last.fm and  does not include tracks played on my iPod and some quite heavy use of Spotify without scrobbling during December.
