one other thing, i've made a top 10 of my favourite songs of 2006. i think it's a nice idea although i find it very hard to make THE (as in definite) top 10...so the list might have looked slightly different if made on another day, but here's the one i made now anyway:

1. Sandy Mouche 'Spiderweb Suit'
2. Laleh 'Invisible (my song)'
3. Pete Murray 'Opportunity'
4. Deep Dish feat. Stevie Nicks 'Dreams'
5. Kleerup feat. Robyn 'With Every Heartbeat'
6. Scissor Sisters 'I Don't Feel Like Dancing'
7. Snow Patrol 'Chasing Cars'
8. Helena Josefsson 'By Your Side'
9. Lisa Miskovsky 'Mary'
10. Jenny Wilson 'Let My Shoes Lead me Forward'

mr. murray was supercool!

my oh my, that was a gooooood show!!!

elise & me saw pete murray performing in melkweg (milky way) in amsterdam last night and it really was one of the best concerts i've ever been to!
pete did it all on his own, the tour isn't called the one man tour for nothing, and it was so nice & intimate yet not too soft or anything. it turned out pete also has a real good sense of humour and a lovely aussie accent hehe.
he talked a lot in between songs and made everyone feel like we were all together around a bonfire or something (with him playing the guitar of course), he was just talking to the audience and people shouted things back to which he responded again. at the end of the show he announced that he'd be signing our stuff at the merchandise stand afterwards and he really took his time for that! so we got our t-shirts and tickets signed plus a photo with mr. murray himself! :D

pete tonight

the outcome of this week's elections are not what i had hoped for, christian democrats are once again the biggest which means we'll most likely have to deal with harry potter as our prime minister another couple of years.

thing is though that they have to form a majority coalition together with one or more other party's...question is which one?! the social democrats don't want to form a coalition with them, best other option is the socialist party, who have gone from 9 to 26 seats in parliament (hooray for that at least!)...but that's going to take months & months of negotiations if you ask me...blah!

on a happier note...i'm going to see pete murray tonight! tickets are already waiting on the dinnertable impatiently for some days nows, but tonight's the night :D if we get there that is, because i just heard there's been some accident on the train tracks between alkmaar & amsterdam...OF COURSE!
hopefully i'll be able to stand up and sing along all night, have been feeling really sick this weekend, had a fever last night but took some homeopathic drops and it seems that that helped, keeping my fingers crossed!
