But life goes on

I really want summer now!!! Everything feels so gloomy and dark right now, for several reason. But the weather, it's depressing. Let the snow stay or come summer!
The good thing with winter, and travel is that I get time and peace to read. Sure, the books get old before I get my butt around to pick them up but that's the good thing with books, especially band bio's and such, they keep actual regardless if they're laying around for years before I pick them up or not.

Most recent book was Blod, Eld, Död (Blood Fire Death) a Swedish Metal History. Very interesting I'd say, cool views in many aspects of Development of Brutal music in my dark corners of the world. The difference between this book and the ones I've mainly been reading is that I've lived through the development of Death Metal and Black Metal, tape trading, fanzines and so. Nostalgic for sure. And very interesting reading. 

A full review will be up on Metal Kaoz in a while!

And since I was in the middle of a travel when finishing the book, I had to get something more to read. I was looking in the pocketshop at first but decided to go for the latest issue of Terrorizer instead. Not very surprising choice, but the fun thing was on the plane, the man next to me looked VERY surprised when he saw the title of the book. Finishing that one and picking up Terrorizer instead, well, he moved towards the guy sitting next to him on the other side instead... 

So back home I needed to choose a new book to read, I've bought a lot lately and are not reading in the same pace as I buy them! So I better at least keep a steady pace.
My choice this time was Kiss - En osminkad historia (an unmasked history), by Sweden Rock Mag Carl Linnaeus. I've just gotten through the first 1½ chapter yet but it sure seems promising, good language this far at least!

Both books are in Swedish though, have no clue if they're available in any other language yet... 
But while I'm at it, one more book well worth reading, despite if you like the band or not is The Legend of Hammerfall, amusing, well-written and to the level of detail you really want to have in a band Bio... Also just in Swedish though.

Next up should be Iced Earth concerts in Copenhagen and Gothenburg... I'm really looking forward to some Metal Gigs now... I can't start playing with my new camera yet though, seems like the Camera Raw isn't compatible with PSE7, need PSE10 at least... And I suppose PSE10 won't support Raw-files from my old camera, my computers SURELY can't take both versions of PSE so I assume I need a new computer too! Anyone who has any experience here and can help out? What do I need to support one Canon EOS 50D and one Canon EOS 5D MkIII? Gonna be good when everything is in place though.

Cheers
