Vapen och ammunition

Vapen och ammunition

I've spent the night listening to the wonderful album, "Vapen och ammunition" by the Swedish pop/rock band, Kent. Given the news events of the last few days, it's interesting that "Vapen och ammunition" translates as "Weapons and ammunition". Perhaps subconsciously, it was an album that I was drawn to because of the title, though more likely, it's simply because it's a good album which I like very much, and which has become a firm favourite over the last decade.

Classic Country

So how did I spend Good Friday? After a few drinks with Graeme last night I came home, hit the sack, and woke early. I went for a wander around today, and even had a bit to eat at Hingara. While the rest of Sydney went into "quiet mode" Chinatown was pumping. But most of today has been spent watching television, listening to music, and watching clips on Youtube.
