Wow, WoW, WOW…the alternative rock band OK Go did it again; their latest song ‘I Won’t Let You Down‘ is released with yet another spectacular video clip! After the motorized treadmills in âHere it Goes Againâ, a Rube Goldberg Machine in âThis Too Shall Passâ and retractable pneumatic arms set up to play over 1000 instruments from a car in ‘Needing/Getting‘, they now have used 2300 dancers filmed by a drone-mounted camera!
Check it out, it is FAN-frigginâ-TASTIC!! đ

Normally musicians in an orchestra put up their most serious faces, fully concentrated giving their best to put up an amazing performance for the audience.

It is the first of a new month and as I started it this morning by saying ârabbit, rabbit, rabbitâ I will receive good luck for this whole month, yayyyy! đ Apparently any combination of rabbits, white rabbits or bunnies will do, as long as it is said like a mantra. Oh well, let the good luck flow in! đ

Summer is long over, or at least it feels that way; temperatures are dropping below zero at night though as it is rain pouring down instead of the magic white stuff called snow, this must still be autumn! đ The fantastic sunset header graphic that accompanied a fantastic summer in Norway will be nothing more than a fading memory soon…
I am blessed with lovely nature around me, the Lysdammen lake is less than 5 minutes away and is besides a nice starter for a hike, also a great place to take pictures. One that I took last year (promoted to header graphic) was nice, though I like this years picture a lot better!! (he he, I am such a sucker for ‘mirroring lakes’ đ )
