Three Norwegian friends founded Datarock during a festival. They then hired a fourth but sometime later they were left as a duo. To briefly describe their style, it is something like electronic indie pop/rock. They published their debut album “Datarock Datarock” by their own label in 2005. Their second album “Red” was released in 2009. This is their most popular song “Fa Fa Fa” which is from their first album.

A New Era
As some of you may have noticed, my blog was dead for about 9 months or so. During this time I’ve moved to a new country, travelled half of Europe, discovered lots of new music and attended some kick-ass concerts. From now on you will find new stuff. I am planning to write a few posts per week, some of them will be long and boring and some of them will be short and full of YouTube videos (sorry for those who live in a third world country where YouTube is blocked). I have also created a Twitter account and a Facebook fan page for the blog so you can keep up with it. The first post will be in a few hours I guess. During this time you can watch this video of Datarock who are pretty much my favourite band nowadays.

Hello, Goodbye!
I would like to welcome you with one of (there are like 50) my favourite Beatles songs; Hello, Goodbye. This song was written by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon/McCartney) in 1967. Alistair Taylor, Brian Epstein's assistant and a friend of Paul visited him and asked how he writes so many songs. McCartney asked Taylor to say the opposite of whatever he says. That's how this song was written. Paul is a strange man, he even wrote songs on the phone (I'll tell you the story of "Getting Better" in later posts). The songs working title was "Hello Hello", then changed. It was not released on an LP (later released on "Magical Mystery Tour") but only as a single. It stayed at the top of the charts for about seven weeks. Lennon hated this song because his classic "I Am the Walrus" was the B-Side. Paul and George Martin believed "Hello, Goodbye" was a more commercial tune. In the video, The Beatles appear in their famous Sgt. Pepper outfit, Paul and John are without their mustaches. Paul's Rickenbacker 4001 makes one of it's rare appearances.
Welcome to my blog, and bye for now.
"I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello!"
Paul McCartney
