Photo for CD cover: digging through my archives

Searching through my earlier designs, I came across one of the CD covers that I designed for my Dad back in 2001. He asked me if I could burn a CD for him with "the best" of Yello, knowing I had a bunch of their music. I couldn´t just give him a CD in a sleeve (you know me better than that)... and I saw a perfect opportunity for me to design my own CD cover.
I had some photos of an antique car, taken in Houston, and took it from there.
I loved seeing these photos again... plus, looking through my CD rack, I noticed that I never even printed out a CD cover for myself.

depeche mode in concert - still cant get enough

I am back in my hotel room and my ears are still ringing. What a great night!


Nitzer Ebb opened for them, and that in itself was incredibly cool, since I hadn`t heard them since the early 80´s.
Depeche opened up with some of their newest stuff, including Wrong, and then went into a string of favorites.
When we thought they were done, they came back to give us more. Martin Gore gave us a couple of his slow songs, and they did an incredibly cool verion of Barrel of a Gun.
I can`t think straight anymore. Need to get some rest and write some more tomorrow.
Thank you Ken for the ticket!! :-))

getting ready for depeche - just can´t get enough!

Thanks to my brother Ken, I got a free ticket to tonight`s Depeche Mode concert in Bergen!!
This will be the 3rd time I get to see them. Last time was in 2006, when Tim and I saw them here in Oslo. And the first time was in Houston, Texas during their Violator tour (or was it Songs of Faith and Devotion?). Oh well... either way, I get to see them again, and I really didn`t think I would get to see them this time since they are in Bergen.
The grabbing hands, grab all they can. Everything counts in large amounts! ... just practicing ;-)
