Once again we went to the Label Night party and had a great time. Three bands played Saturday night, but we primarily came to see Yellowish, whose debut album will be out in March. I saw them a while ago and weren't too impressed. Honestly, back then I thought they sounded like a second rate My Bloody Valentine, but I figured I'd give them a second chance and I'm glad I did.

They've changed towards a more melodic style, so the show was a pleasant surprise. I'm a sucker for the male/female vocal thing, so add noisy guitars and big keyboard sounds and I'm all over it. So it would seem that a little studio time really have made them focus on the songs, which has lifted them from being just another indie band who drew to heavily on their inspirations to a band that's actually worth keeping an eye on. So we enjoyed that.

On an unrelated note I have to add that I've gone eBay crazy. I mentioned browsing on eBay last year, but now that I have scary amounts of free time I've started shopping and I'm afraid it has gone a little overboard. I started out wanting to get Arsenal jerseys for myself and my brother, but since then I've bought DVDs, PS2 games, videos, and some other stuff. It's more than a little addictive searching for new items and following auctions and the whole "You've won!" thing they have when the auction is finished means that it feels like actually winning something even though you have to pay for it. The only thing that has arrived so far is the "Jack Dee Live at the Apollo" DVD, which is hysterical. I have two of his older shows and they're all very funny.

So there's a lot of stuff on its way, but most notably is a Baltimore Ravens jersey I got fairly cheap. I've talked about this jersey all year and I'll try to explain why. It's the jersey of Ravens' starting quarterback Kyle Boller, whose name is funny if you know Danish (and you have a juvenile sense of humour). Boller means buns (as in hamburger buns) in Danish, but it's also slang for screwing or testicles. So we've just made fun of that name so often I thought it would be fun to own the jersey. Like I said it's fairly juvenile, but you've got to think young to stay young (or something like that).

I've been following the Primaries quite a bit and as usual I get the majority of information from Letterman, Leno, Jon Stewart, and 60 Minutes. But there was a pretty informative segment about the candidates on television yesterday, so now I actually know what Gephardt looks like (and now he's gone, so who cares). I think the most interesting thing so far are the theories about the Clintons and Hilary's chances of running in 2008. I think I like Wesley Clark the best of the candidates (although he seems to be running a fairly disorganized campaign), but I think John Edwards has a better chance of beating Bush. And that seems to be the number one concern voters have. Not who they think is the better candidate, but who has a chance of beating Bush. This is probably why Dean will lose, because he's just too far to the left to have a real shot at The White House. He seems like a good guy, though, but he's gone a little far with the enraged on the behalf of the people rutine if you ask me.

Anyway, this is so different from Danish politics, which is less focused on the individual politicians and where we have more than two parties, who have an actual shot at making it into the government, so it's pretty fascinating to follow.
