sharif

For a band I can’t say I know anything about. I mean I play in the band and know all the people there but as a band I find us very dysfunctional. As a group that is. As separate persons we are almost normal all of us. I can’t even say it’s all about the music. We do music occasionally. We breathe music. I listen to music or play music all of my hours awake. Why should this context of Sharif be something special? I don’t think so. Well, It is special when we meet and sit in the studio. It was awesome when we recorded the latest album. And sometimes it was even magic. But now sitting here, all I can feel is my neck hurting. Listening to Echo & The Bunnymen. I’m a sucker for the alternative 80’s. There’s something more interesting about Sonic Youth and Swans then all this shit that sounds the same today. Maybe it is just the fact that I was just a little too young when they where really popular and there music then just felt more dangerous by then. Because I was young and afraid. I have only felt that avantgard feeling once this year and it was when I listened to Electrelane’s Axes. I really disliked it at first and felt like they where joking with me. I felt insecure. I like that. I would like to make music that makes people to feel insecure. And afraid. I think that is the same reason I listen to Norwegian Death Metal - I can’t really figure it out.
