John Edwards channel dominates YouTube among candidates
2007-03-15 03:23:00 During my visit in Washington DC in US I visited a campaign-meeting today with John Edwards , who is running a campaign for the Democratic nominee for the presidential election. Some say he is the candidate of the unions, because no one of the other candidates has that clearly taken stance for the unions and the workers right to collective agreement. He spoke about that today and about the health care. He is the only candidate talking for a system where everyone should be included. He is very interesting of a lot of reasons. He is outspoken about the climatethreat and about the war in Iraq. His campaign is really represented on the Internet. In YouTube John Edwards' channel has the most subscribers of any presidential candidate.

Grinderman - be sure it is noisy
2007-03-11 20:52:00 Nick Cave has created a new album together with three of his men from Bad Seeds: Martyn P. Casey, Jim Sclavunos och Warren Ellis. They call themselves Grin d erman and the album has the same title: Grinderman. One of the tracks is Get it on - which I think is also released as a single.Listen to it at the myspace-place of Grinderman. I am not sure wether Washington Post likes it or not:No, your earbuds aren't broken. That's just the sound of Nick Cave strangling a guitar and dragging his mangled riffs across across 2 1/2 minutes of broken-glass songcraft. The racket he's making with his new troupe here might be the harshest since his days with the Birthday Party. Anyhow, the Swedish music reporters seem to like it. Foul-mouthed, noisy, hairy, and damn well old enough to know better: Here is another noisy one.

My definitive sign for springtime

Spring is a very special event for us in this northern part of the world. The winter was very long to mild. That gave us a strange feeling, that the threat of the climate really is a serious threat. But then the winter gave a bite of real coldness, and we forgot the climatechanges.(If you understand Swedish you can read about that here.) Well, I am aware that we have to do something around the world if we want to protect the earth for coming generations. But today I anyhow enjoy the wonderful arrival of the spring.

Australia at the Bottom of the OECD on Workers’ Rights
2007-03-06 20:37:00 With the World Trade Organisation General Council assessing Australia ’s trade policies this week in Geneva, a new ITUC report highlights the negative impacts on the country’s workforce of the Government’s industrial relations laws, which impose heavy restrictions on internationally-recognised labour standards.From Homepage of International Trade Union Confederation.The report strongly criticises the Australian Government’s industrial relations laws (“Work Choices” Act), which makes Australia the only developed country where employers can refuse to negotiate with a union even when employees are union members and want their union to represent them. The report documents the severe legal limits that are imposed on the basic rights of Australian workers to organise in trade unions and the strict restrictions the laws place on the items that can be included in collective bargaining, in violation of International Labour Organisation standards which Australia has ratified.The fu...

Patrick Wolf - The magic position - Impossible to categorise
2007-03-03 17:53:00 Patrick Wolf - how can this musician be categorized? Impossible. Popmusic, with eletronic and a lot of other influences, innovative indiepop. He is born 1983 and plays many instruments including harp, harpsichord, guitar, piano, autoharp, organ, theremin, ukulele, viola and violin. Already in the age of eleven did he record songs. His third album - Magic position - is newly released. BBC has a presentation of Patrick Wolf with a photo of him with his red hair (on the records before his hair had other colours, he seems to change colour of his hair with every new record).Commuting life into music since he was 12, Wolf sees composition as a “best friend”, a cathartic coping mechanism. “Instead of writing a diary or going to see a counsellor or taking anti-depressants, I’d write songs.” On forthcoming album, The Magic Position, he is joined by kindred spirits Marianne Faithful and Edward Larrikin for a gloriously overblown rumination on love in its spiritual, platonic, roman...

Live forever - Magnus Carlsson - most sold right now
2007-02-28 20:13:01 Magnus Carl sson was supposed to be one of the artists in the finale round of the Swedish trial for Eurovision Song Contest.His song - Live forever - is a very typical Eurovision Song Contest-song in the Swedish way.I think the reason why people did vote for other songs is that a lot of us are bored of the glamourish style and we want more rocksongs, even in this ESC. In the tabloids they wrote a lot about how angry and disappointed Magnus Carlsson was that he did not go to the finale round.In tv some days after I heard some of his musiciancollegues that they had not seen him that angry. It was just the journalists who saw that, they said. By the way, he has got some sort of revenge: Today this song is the most bought and downloaded song in the Swedish iTunes-store.

Australian workes call for help to win a collective agreement
2007-02-28 20:13:01 Thales is a French-based multinational company with approximately 2.700 employees in Australia . It is operating under the new anti-union legislation recently passed in Australia, where individual contracts are favoured over collective bargaining.
