The big news for me this week was the unveiling of the program for this year's Roskilde Festival. It has not yet been determined if I'll be working at the festival, but there can be no doubt that I'm going. The headliners are amongst others David Bowie, The Pixies, Morrissey, and Korn and while those names are great it's as always the smaller names I'm getting really excited about. So I was thrilled to see names like !!!, Broken Social Scene, The Fiery Furnaces, Franz Ferdinand, The Hells, The Hives, Kings of Leon, Muse, Sahara Hotnights, Scissor Sisters, The Shins, TV on the Radio, and The Von Bondies added to the program. I may not be familiar with the music of all these bands, but the reason I love Roskilde is that it's a way to get to know bands you wouldn't normally get a chance to see. So these are bands I'll try to get to see even if I don't get around to checking out their albums in advance.

The weather here is amazing these days, so today we're going to the annual boatrace in the university park. I wrote an entry about the race last year, so check it out to get an impression of what I'm talking about. This year I might get around to taking a few pictures, so there should be a full report on today's events later on.

I finished the prep work on my DJ gig tomorrow, so now I have about 40 carefully selected CDs packed in my flight case (which has been doubling as my crap CD storage for a while now). This is like Christmas for me, so I'm more excited about playing records and hanging out tomorrow than I've been about anything this year. And I've gotten some feedback from people, who'll be showing up early to hang out, so I think it'll be a lot of fun. So if you know me or perhaps want to get to know me you should show up as well at Sway (under the Clemens Bridge) in Aarhus between 20:00 and 22:00 tomorrow.

Tomorrow is May 1st, so there will be a lot of stuff going on downtown. I'm invited to the opening of a boutique, which should be interesting. And a guy I know has been involved in an art project and I think they'll be showing it somewhere tomorrow. That I have to find out later today, but if it's happening then I'm definitely going.

I finally got around to watching Party Monster recently and while it wasn't fantastic it was still interesting. I can't really decide what I thought of Macauley's performance, but Seth Green was definitely cool. I've seen the documentary Party Monster a bunch of times, so there wasn't really a lot of new stuff to see in the movie. But it was fairly impressive how well they'd managed to recreate all the scenary and the elaborate costumes. And poor Natasha Lyonne looked like she had to gain a hundred pounds for her role as Brooke.

But the reason I'm mentioning this is because I read an article about Benton and Bailey (the people behind both Party Monster movies) and the documentary The Hidden Fuhrer: Debating the Enigma of Hitler’s Sexuality which suggests Adolph Hitler might have been gay. I'm not a big student of queer theory, but projects like this always puzzle me. If in fact they'd managed to find one of Hitler's old boyfriends would that cast any kind of light on why he was such a mass-murdering fuck-head (as many important historians have said)? I'm still puzzled by a comment made by a teacher I had for a media science class, who claimed the Lethal Weapon movies were packed with latent homosexual tension. If that is in fact correct then my question is why. Will it really give higher box office numbers if a selection of the crowd is hoping Murtaugh and Riggs will make out at the end of the movie? And where does that leave Crockett and Tubbs? Any thoughts on this can be left in the comments.
