R.I.P Sonic T-shirt

I came back home to Copenhagen last week. So we've been using a few days to get settled in our new danish home. It's a very small and cosy apartment in a nice and quiet area called Sydhavnen. Anyway! I had some clothes and stuff stored in the cellar while hanging out in NYC. And guess what. There had been a water leek in the cellar a couple of months ago. We thought we'd been lucky and that the water hadn't reached our cellar room... But it turned out there had been a small leek. And the two containers that was damaged was (of course) a box with all of my photo albums and a big plastic bag containing ALL of my clothes. Here are a few pictures. For instance my Sonic Youth T-shirt which I bought the summer of 1995. Here with a little mildew. Shit happens! I loved that T-shirt...

92 COVERS

When I came home for X-mas, the local knitting store gave me a big box with all the covers that had been knitted while I was in New York. It was 92 all together!! 8 more to go, but I've got it covered! Here are some pictures from the small exhibition we had in Kulturhuset i Namsos! I'm so proud to show these to you!

MERRY CHRISTMAS/ GOD JUL

I'm taking a few days off to celebrate Christmas with my dear family and friends in Namsos!! All the gifts are bought and here's snow, so I'm all set for a Christmas to remember!
I want to wish you all a Merry Little Christmas!


PS! Trønder Avisa wrote this about Stina Stjern a couple of days ago! Enjoy!

"I'll be home for Christmas"

Time flies and all of a sudden I've left New York and I'm home with my parents for Christmas. Feels good and a little wierd! I came here last thursday and since then I've been working around the clock with some great local musicians and a dancer to make some christmas magic for the people in my hometown, Namsos. Finally, yesterday we played the annual Stina Stjern "I'll be home for christmas" concert in Namsos Kulturhus! It turned out great and I had a wonderful time on stage! My fellow musicians did a fantastic job and I was really happy with everything! We also had one special guest with us: Kaspar Kaae/ Cody came all the way to Namsos from Copenhagen to contribute to the concert. He also played a show later in the evening @ Rollaugs Bistro. I was really proud to precent him to the audience in Namsos

More knitted covers

Here are a few more 7" covers I've knitted! Enjoy these while I pack my bags and get ready to leave this NYC!

"I'll be home for Christmas" 2008!

One week left in wonderful New York before going home to Namsos, Norway, for Christmas! In Namsos I'll do my annual Stina Stjern "I'll be home for Christmas" concert with local musicians and friends. It will take place at Kulturhuset in Namsos, Saturday December 20th at 7 pm. A special guest will show up this year though! My danish friend Kasper Kaae/Cody, who I recorded the Christmas songs with, will join us on stage. He will also play his own show at Cyberland on the official "I'll be home for Christmas" nachspiel. I hope a lot of old familiar faces will show up at both concerts. The local newspaper, Namdalsavisa, wrote this about the Christmas Card release and both concerts today! And yeah, I made the poster myself...

Goodbye Blue Monday and stuff!

I finished my 3 concerts here in Brooklyn. The last one was at Goodbye Blue Monday last tuesday. I played with Arnbjørn on bass and Zach on drums. Nice to have some fellow musicians on stage again.
