Show a little faith there's magic in the night
Another Springsteen trip, this time to Lille, France. I flew in to Brussels on Saturday morning, the day of the show. Leaving after work on Friday wasn’t really an option this time since the trains from Brussels Midi to Lille don’t run in the evening. I met up with Oliver at Brussels Midi, just as...

The tour has finally begun! For me and Oliver I mean. Manchester 2 was the first of nine shows we’ll see together on this leg of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s Land of Hope and Dreams Tour. On Friday after work (May 16th) we flew to Manchester. Oliver from Cologne and I from... Continue Reading →
It was one of those rare Gothenburg spring evenings where the weather actually cooperates. My friend Ann-Sofie and I met for some food and beer at an Indian restaurant and we could sit outside without freezing our asses off. By the time we walked up to the venue. Konserthuset, for the concert, the sun was... Continue Reading →

As we had decided to go to the New York area for the Easter holiday I knew I wanted to book the Rock and Roll Tour of the Jersey shore. On the website there were two tour alternatives; the 2 hours tour and the 4 hours tour. We picked the latter one. When the details... Continue Reading →
We decided pretty late to go to this concert. Honestly, we didn’t know much about the band, or, well, anything really. But we were in New York, and we wanted the chance to see a show at Madison Square Garden. Oliver had been there before for a Pearl Jam concert, and I’d only ever seen... Continue Reading →
This blogpost picks up where we left off - ok a DUMBO, Brooklyn, on our first full day in New York, Sunday April 13. After hopping off the ferry, we strolled over to the venue with the cutest name: Baby’s All Right. However, as soon as we got to the door, we hit a bit... Continue Reading →
We got up early to catch the 7:30am FlixBus from Newark to Philadelphia. The train would’ve been a bit more comfortable, sure—but the price tag? Not so much. So FlixBus it was. A reasonably smooth ride, and we rolled into downtown at about 9:15am with a full day ahead of us. First mission: breakfast. Oliver... Continue Reading →
Big Views and Busy Bridges – Our First Day in New York After arriving the night before, our first full day in New York started in Newark, where we were staying. We took the New Jersey Transit from Penn Station in Newark straight to Penn Station in Manhattan, a quick and easy ride that got... Continue Reading →
We went to see The Dead South at Gothenburg Film Studios last night, not really knowing what to expect. Bluegrass and folk aren’t genres I usually listen to, but I had heard a few songs before and was curious. The Dead South is a Canadian band known for their mix of bluegrass, folk, and a...
