God save the Sex Pistols (and Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees)!!

There is only one ”great pick me upper” if i feel down. Listening to SP loud, mad and running a couple of km. After that – I’m tired, deaf to the point of bleeding from both ears and overall one happy guy.

Sex Pistols are hostile, hateful, hopeless, and full of ”fuck you attitude”. They don’t play that good but they play with an energy that is out of this world.

You should YouTube this: ”E.M.I.”, ”Pretty Vacant” and ”Problems” – they are on top of my list.

I re-discovered “Siousxie and the Banshees” a while back. It happened in a weird way. They had a great song which I truly missed, but the problem was that I didn’t remembered the title or the lyrics. This is not a good starting point. If I wanted to find it again I would have to start somewhere – so I started on YouTube. The odd thing was that I didn’t find it at first after listening to everything on YT. I became a bit worried if it really was ”Siousxie and the Banshees”. The result was that I became a fan or their music, without really finding what I was looking for.

Last week I YouTubed ”Siousxie and the Banshees”, and long behold the missing long lost video was there. I found out it was ”Kiss Them For Me (1991)”

The video/song is simple, harmonic in a 90′ies kinda way. Siouxsie Sioux (Susan Janet Ballion) is dancing seductively, and nothing else is really going on, besides a lot of slow motion shot. Still, the whole package is highly addictive and work great whit the song. After listening to ”Kiss Them form Me” a couple of hundred times, I’m tired of the song and have gone back to SB other material like “Face to Face”, “Happy House” and “Cities in Dust”.

The whole experience was a bit of an odd eyeopener.

What more can I say… Over’n Out?

Clearwire problems and the resolution…

A week ago, I wrote a blogpost with the title “www.clearwire.dk = Crapwire!”. I have now, no longer any reasons to hold animosity/hatred agains Clearwire/Danske Telecom. I was angry, now happy…. I removed the post (24/10-06) from my site after I was able to cancel my contract with clearwire and offered a full compensation for my entire period (April/May 2006) to this date.

Reasons and a “short story”…

First and foremost – I removed my post of my own free will and as a sign of goodwill (def. : “An attitude of kindness or friendliness; benevolence”). As did the Clearwire company by offering me, far more than I asked for. For a long period (July/August 2006) onwards, I have had a unstable connection. Some of the time it worked, but repeatedly my access to the web was unstable and at frequent times modem speed (not 1024/128). To make a long story short, Clearwire was willing, but not able to fix it. I had repeatedly contacted to clearwire via mail. I felt that my problems were being (partially?) ignored and there was a too long time delay form the company.

Here in October I had had enough. I wrote a detailed mail (12/10-06) over my problems the last few days, demanded some kind of compensation for my longstanding problems or else… My mail was unanswered. I was to say it frankly “pissed of”. The results was a very harsh mail where I made my situation clear that i was going to make a case made against clearwire/danske telecom. Second, my post “www.clearwire.dk = Crapwire!”. I chose to express my grievances and annoyances by posting on my blog. Some people express there anger by beating old ladyes to a pulp - I wrote a blogpost and a mail.

The day after, I was contacted by Christoffer Castenskiold (Vice President Consumer…) and shortly after by Peter Jerry Sørensen – shortly after thing fell in to place. Here and now i am satisfied by the actions taken by the Clearwire company, especially the co-founder and CEO Peter Jerry Sørensen. Thet have proved by their actions that they are serious ISP. The resolution can be summed up as follows:

1) full compensation + “goodwill”.

2) able to get out of contract immediately.

3) taking my problems serious.

4) showing clear action – not only words.

5) not having to make a formal complaint, and perhaps a civil courtcase…

6) making my bad experience to a good one….

 The end…
