Egern

Not much bark, no bite.

About Me

Living a never-boring yet quite confusing life in Copenhagen, Denmark these last 14-odd years; prior to this, an unsettled life in the UK :-)
Eternally unlucky musician :-)

Exhalted Member of the High Council of Globular and
The Portrait of Hoover

And now...an experiment, that seems to want to register me in Frederiksberg rather than Vesterbro :-/
..

My Interests

My beloved bass.
Squirrels.
The cats.
Music.
Beers.
Stopping smoking...
Our Audi because it's cool as fuck (and in need of constant mechanical attention :-)
Sportsbikes
Unreal Tournament 2004 ... Our own zombie_cat servers, if anyone's interested (which I doubt, but never mind)

I'd like to meet:

Anyone interesting/different/weird/whatever.
People who live around vesterbro. it's ace just bumping into people you know even just a little - a smile and a chat can really improve life :-)
Don't give a shit what creed, colour, race or sex you are.
Mick Doohan, just to ask him where the hell all that determination came from
Michael Schumacher - ditto the above.
The retard that had the idea of delivering free newspapers to customers in Copenhagen - just so I can pan his/her fucking head in.
Maddox:

Who I'd Like NOT to Meet on MySpace: Fucking bands that I haven't added or who haven't even bothered to look at my profile. I'm not a friend-collector...

Music:

Where to start? Or finish, for that matter? Punk, Indie, electro, drum'n'bass, reggae, metal, indie - Blur, Stone Roses, Inspiral Carpets, Happy Mondays, Charlatans, good stuff
in fact, anything that's not fucking r'n'b, really.
Or sodding Eminem.
Hmm.
Or old shit like Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

Fuck it, bring on Atari Teenage Riot

Movies:

Ronin. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Team America. 28 Days Later. These are about the only films that can keep me awake.

Television:

....is mostly utter shit, with the sun occasionally poking through the clouds to light up the legend that was John Thaw...

Books:

Jakob Martin Strid's stuff. Terry Pratchett's discworld stuff. Iain M. Banks.

Heroes:

My girlfriend and kids.
John Peel. No greater or more charming person has ever graced this earth with their presence. RIP.
John Thaw.
Mick Doohan
Michael Schumacher
Supreme Overlord Globular.

My Blog

Sorted motor...

...that we spied on the way home from North Sjælland the other day: It's a Mercury of some sort or another, an educated rodent-guess is that it's from the mid 1950's. Other than that, I'm not too clu...

The strange precautions one must take...

....when one's employees are of a polish persuasion. My head office - "in control" as they are (not) - decided to send me some acetic acid for cleaning the coffee-maker in a coke bottle. In normal cir...

Think twice before asking a Squirrel to cook for you...

Yep, there's a good reason that us Squirrels eat nuts: because we're fucking crap at even the most basic cooking tasks. By way of illustration, a picture of my latest adventure involving the oven: D...

Henry Rollins spoken word...

...fantastic :) We were in Vega to see him the other night, the man's great. 2½ hours the dude stood up there (which in reality was probably ½ hour too long, but never mind). Most entertaining and tho...

Oh no :-(

Just when you thought you'd never hear the "I'm taking a shit and squeezing hard" strains of Dido's fucking voice ever again, a seemingly turkish biscuit-manufacturer has to go and remind us of the ex...

Egern's mobile phone catacombs...

Just sorting out some shit the other day when I came across this lot: A deeply disturbing sight. Especially the fact that there's a couple of N**ia's there  :-(  And what the fuck is that M...

Angry, evil electric rubbish-buggy...

See it's evil, frowning face. It will kill again  :-o

Welcome to Egern's Riot-goods Boutique!

It's the shop any self-respecting rioter/autonom turns to in times of civil unrest: Egern's Riot-goods Boutique. This week we have a fantastic selection of riotware for the discerning agitator to ...

Ny graffiti på Sundevedsgade...

Hmm. Denne her: har erstattet den "old school" maling som var der før: Den nye er s'gu fint nok, men mangler lidt personlighed i forhold til den gamle, men alt er bedre end kedelige hvide...

She likes *all* kinds of music...

Welcome to small-minded blog time with Egern. Yes, indeed - while drudging through a grim assortment of MySpace bottom-feeders in a bit of downtime at work I came across this fucking genius:...
