a-ha.com web diaries

These web diaries were written by Magne during a-ha’s winter 2000/2001 tour and are ancient history, but they are fun to revisit from time to time.

Note: The web diary links no longer work and have been removed; the titles remain in a case they jog a memory and/or the articles ever come back online for updating.

myspace blogs

Magne joined MySpace in April 2006, and immediately began posting blogs containing poetry, ramblings, topical thoughts and even just strings of letters or punctuation. In October of 2006, Magne’s MySpace blog was voted in the Top 10 music blogs.

Also noteworthy: Magne wrote a blog poem for Anna Nicole Smith on MySpace, which received the attention of Norwegian media:

Fan discussion about Magne’s MySpace blogs can be found here: West of the Moon Forum 

EDIT: Unfortunately since the MySpace platform was updated in summer 2013, all the old member blogs were lost, including Magne’s. Below is an archive listing of dates, titles and excerpts of the entries that serves only as a reference to those who might want to remember a specific blog. Thanks to Sue and Caterina for compiling the links and titles; I added the dates and short quotes for the purpose of this page.

EDIT 2: Thanks to Caterina, who saved a PDF version of all of Magne’s blogs, and to Magne for giving me permission to post them here.

10/27/2009 purple prose

 

the wordsymphony is now finished and currently in glorious purple vinyl-production.
the print editions are also close to being done, and will be signed and shipped shortly.
shortly, as in during the month of november.
thank you for your patience.

09/08/2009 lust, want and lasting enjoyment

 

maybe you’re not too impressed with my output on the apparatjik channel yet, what with my big announcement and all…but one day it may just be worth the struggle. i think. my job is to confuse. and i do it so well even i am in a daze.

09/08/2009 last will and testament

 

so here it is, honeys; i’m outta here. not to disappear off the radar completely of course, (don’t get your hopes up!), but to create havoc somewhere else. 09.09.09 here i come.

08/12/2009 hey babaluba

 

having survived another a-ha album (the cat only has 9 lives)it’s fair to say that i will try to pay more attention to my own space again

04/05/2009 so you can read again, – so read, you can better

 

doublespeak: twice as good

04/05/2009 neutron blast

 

thank you, city
for grinding us down

04/05/2009 as we hover

 

our instruments not
quite powerful enough

04/05/2009 as neutron

 

we hover
just shiny metal
outside unbroken glass

04/05/2009 so yes is marginally better than no?

 

the original question was; have i read finnegan’s wake? yes and no.
i read in it constantly, but i have not ‘read it’.

04/02/2009 no, the answer is yes!
04/02/2009 the answer is no
04/01/2009 cattermole hill, ex-mountain of flesh

 

was reared up by stress and sank under strain

03/10/2009 if I can’t imagine what we were

 

and explorers will end up on the verge
of amazing discovery
back at the original feeling

03/10/2009 it’s alive

 

i don’t beat know your own soft skin
how until it hardens to write

02/07/2009 if you are reading this

 

you have been very patient

blog posts 2008

10/15/2008 baryon minority

 

physical separation
can be mathematically explained

but that doesn’t do much
about the pain

09/23/2008 if by living

 

if re-incarnation teach me
of the things i never got

surely spending time with you
would do the same

09/23/2008 the force that through the green fuse drives the flower

 

no sense not thinking now
of all things that go
into being here

09/23/2008 oldplay

 

http://www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=133

09/23/2008 hinterland

 

behind the forest rolls
in verdant waves toward the sea

yet further still, like frozen surf
the mountains stand at ease;

08/30/2008 bedouine

 

and i, who have no herd
except when i can’t sleep

08/30/2008 help the elderly remember by forcing the young to forget

 

yet further still, like frozen surf
the mountains stand at ease;
coagulated will

08/30/2008 read me real

 

sein blick ist vom vorübergehen der stäbe
so müd geworden, daß er nichts mehr hält.

06/19/2008 farmfrow’s foul flair for that flayfell foxfetor

 

gone never to return the same
coming back but believing the same to be different
always leaving for the last time – again and again
there is madness in the method and no real method to be mad about

05/17/2008 full on

 

i think tomorrow is also the day the new magne f cd is out in the uk
people are scrambling for the doors of recordshops, screaming & banging their litlle fists…
at one point I will just have to let them out, i guess.

04/11/2008 pre orders post festum

 

for the digitally inclined there is now a pre order of the new cd possible
this time there is no hand- or foot-painted covers, i swear!

03/31/2008 bad santa

 

however, giving my songs away for free does not mean they now belong to everyone else – and not to me.
i still intend to do exactly what i want when i want. call me old-fashioned.

let me reiterate the obvious: the free download was for you. the vinyl exclusively for those of you interested enough. the music is for everyone. the cd for anyone who wants to buy it. are we clear ?

02/08/2008 watch me dance

 

mms://195.204.125.48:8080

02/01/2008 much ado about something

 

(all you need to do to show your love is buy my bandmates beer afterwards,
but not all 50 of you, please – we have a gig the next day)

01/26/2008 i love the wrongness of it

 

the promise of another magne f concert in the uk
may be all the bad news most of you can take on a sunday
…but the albert hall?!?

shurely schome mischtake.

01/24/2008 nothing comes to those who wait

 

just don’t go to www.magne-f.net/magneftube expecting some kind of reward.
especially not some song i just finished mixing tonight or anything.
ok – the beard may be greying at the edges, but do i look like mr. claus to you?

01/24/2008 ok…so now it’s up

 

rather painful watching if you ask me-
with my uncensored self so shamelessly exposed

the mitigating factor is of course that the pain only lasts 30 secs (like most things)
only to substituted by a new even harsher one! (again, like most…)

01/23/2008 pay peanuts get monkeys

 

here’s the better part of the world’s work-force glued to their computer-screens
(notice i said better, as in better, not as in ‘larger’ – i’m not completely delusional)
trying to catch the world’s fastest painter posied and ready, brush in hand…
all that human resource gone to wasteville
how will we repay them the time lost –
oh, we won’t?

ouuuh we’re sooooo sooorrry….come back later

01/23/2008 how do you like it so far…?

 

so a bit of internet channel-swapping is recommended here.
personally i am looking forward to sleeping through the whole event
wake me when I am done!

01/23/2008 hello, I must be going – or; quantum leapfrogs – always ahead of schedule again!

 

why are my sentences uncharacteristically characteristic?
because i was up until 05.30 this morning painting.
so that you can watch me do things i have already done, that’s why.
so that you can watch something coming into being that already exists.

the old birth control discussion all over again

01/21/2008 better broken english than broken hearts

 

the reason this confirmation comes your way 2 weeks ahead of time is that the collector’s vinyl-edition sold out way quicker than expected,
and there is a waiting list of ferocious fans who would love to take your place in the queue if you hesitate.

01/15/2008 new magne f album

 

why waste time chasing strange ears around with you guys already here?
you have found me. You have supported me (stranger than fiction, and for reasons known only to yourselves). This record’s for you.

01/06/2008 word war 3

 

love the fact that any message i write is regarded by some as potential poetry
beauty in the eye of the beholder and all that…well, that only makes you more beautiful!

01/02/2008 outside the pale there is colour…

 

time to get to work now
gather round my friendlies…

blog posts 2007

12/14/2007 anticlimax

 

i will be kicking off the new year off with some news on the musical front especially for y’all. you should probably start looking backwards to it already.

11/06/2007 I’m leaving on a jet plane

 

any engineer would tell you this bird’s flying days are over,
but I beg to differ;
I like to look at it as an object which has yet to realize its full potential

10/28/2007 who will stitch together

 

who will turn
these fragments of my life
into legibility?

10/28/2007 I am not human

 

I walk among you, recognised
but virtually unknown
famously celebrated
but seen by some

10/28/2007 because eyes can see

 

because eyes know
because these eyes have memory
because
without it, it’s just energy

10/28/2007 reverse psychology

 

for it is not for us to know
what started long before
and ends well after

10/28/2007 as your story bleeds into mine

 

as we piece together moments
into mosaic dreams-
made from broken vases

10/28/2007 Toussaint

 

so if my history
is of no importance
my story
may one day be

10/28/2007 self referendum

 

this sentence contains nine syllables

10/28/2007 another good verbivorious tip

 

he is me
but I am not
him yet

10/28/2007 literati come forth!

 

you are now
and those other
times
are running elsewhere

10/28/2007 one unharmful gem

 

I’m a toothier, inhumane wit meanie.

10/26/2007 you’re quick, I’ll give you that!

 

what cd?
oh – THAT cd!

10/14/2007 shyly, slyly

 

me? i am just an emotional striptease. you knew that.

10/11/2007 the restless are getting native

 

the new magne f album is nearly completed. it will be released….probably sometime after xmas.

09/04/2007 Guys & Dolls

 

on behalf of the many perfected versions of myself; thx!

08/14/2007 be my seamstress

 

you may soon all officially add ‘installation artist’ to your respective resumées.

06/20/2007 got myself a cryin, talkin, sleepin, walkin…

 

in case you were wondering – the dolls keep coming, the sick grin on my face ever widening. so many me’s, so little time…

06/04/2007 at your mercy

 

yes, mags is full of hot air.
the ego has landed.
blow me up scotty

05/11/2007 a doll’s house

 

now since I know there is sometimes a difference between thinking something and doing it (uh…there is, isn’t there?), this message is to remind the undecided to jump in.

05/06/2007 all I need

 

all I need
is this thermos…
and this chair

05/05/2007 a doll the size of myspace

 

now get going and forget this crap about having no talent – talent is a form of intelligence…are you calling yourself stupid?!?

05/05/2007 are we clear?!

 

in order to avoid even more confusion; anything from six inches to six feet is welcome

05/04/2007 invitation to participation

 

This is definitely an offer you can refuse. As the smarter ones among you no doubt have figured out, this is merely a clever ploy to make you all work for me for free.

02/27/2007 salvus

 

in this maze I call my own
there’s no place left to go-
no place I haven’t been

02/15/2007 I mistook myself

 

I mistook myself
for someone I once knew
I’ve been wrong
about a lot of things
one of which was you

02/15/2007 split infinitives

 

like it or not
who gives a fuck
I don’t know how or why
but if you wish to know
you’ll have to really try

02/12/2007 for the man who wants to be somebody

 

you only look
for things that you can use
and then concoct
something wildly different
out of what you got

02/10/2007 like the white

 

like these hands
your shape is all they remember

02/09/2007 to put oneself in a place

 

our loss is losing you
holding up a mirror
to our ugliness

02/08/2007 valor in a wheelchair

 

but secrets will reveal
what time won’t tell
tedium succeed
where ferver once failed

01/25/2007 verbatim;

 

I was monster
now
merely minion

01/25/2007 If you need another friend

 

If you need another friend
ask, don’t steal
if you do not understand
what I am saying
think, don’t feel

01/22/2007 I am still talking to you

 

I am still talking to you
even though you’ve gone away
every day
I talk to you
I still think of what to say

01/22/2007 our lives interwoven

 

our lives interwoven
our features interfaced
our voices in unison
our dreams interlaced

01/19/2007 oh yes you can

 

you can catch it
as it comes towards you
catch it as it moves away

you will stand your ground
convincingly
if pushed
but underneath
you flee

01/11/2007 undo undone

 

finish the end
and be done

01/10/2007 silence is not personal (1)

 

silence is not personal
we just fill it
with our own insecurities

01/10/2007 silence is not personal (2)

 

silence is not personal
we just fill it
with our own insecurities

01/03/2007 wishing you all

blog posts 2006

12/05/2006 the bigger you get

 

the more you believe
the less it is real

12/05/2006 oh healthy forest

 

oh healthy forest
your cousins are sick
all over the world

12/05/2006 I loved you

 

I knew you
while we were still strangers

12/05/2006 tv learns from you

 

we all battle demons
whatever their names

12/05/2006 we all wrestle with corruption

 

we all wrestle with corruption
one way or another we all fall short
of expectation

12/05/2006 I can draw the line wherever I want

 

you don’t know
the half of it
and if you think you do
it is only because
your mind is only matched
by your
mechanisms of self-defense

12/05/2006 it is looking at old photographs

 

it is looking at old photographs
that we see who we really are

12/05/2006 thoughts are like masturbation

 

thoughts are like masturbation
writing like making babies

12/05/2006 seal this house

 

broken silences
like shattered china

12/05/2006 I can’t do right for doing wrong

 

opposite to her
I can’t do wrong for doing right
even as I try
with all my might

12/05/2006 the stoned group

 

hide behind your alias
all you want
it will not make the rest of you
disappear

12/05/2006 and just like that

 

the preachers have
installed credit card terminals
for easier collection

12/05/2006 would not blame the shark

 

would not blame the shark
for doing what it was born to do
would you?

12/05/2006 how she takes refuge in herself

 

how she is hurt and brave
in the face of truth
for she believed love
when it told her to wait
and so she waits

12/05/2006 why complain?

 

akk, oh vey, phew, oh lordie
and the like-
it’s in vain
unless you are willing
to change

12/05/2006 the beginning is over

 

the beginning is over
the fade out
soon to commence

12/05/2006 winter has turned

 

winter has turned
its back to the sun
and a blind eye
to the spring that will come

12/05/2006 as long as you remember

 

as long as you are you
I don’t care about the rest

12/05/2006 the khoros

 

be cursed, Cassandra
so that even you (or I)
shall doubt that this is real

12/05/2006 nowhere

 

if you want to be in the middle of nowhere
this is where to do it

12/05/2006 nothing

 

nothing
we can learn to live with
nothing

12/05/2006 no one

 

no one
holds my silence
like you do
no one

12/05/2006 the bitch is back

 

hard to know if it was your high expectations or my great(er) disillusionment
with myself that made me stay away/come back (your choice)

11/16/2006 vow of silence

 

shhh (wow!)

10/23/2006 danger & desire

 

begin to believe
your doubt
of what’s never been

10/23/2006 of all the mindfucks

 

of all the songs
I never wrote
you were always
destined for success

10/23/2006 made popular

 

my secret
is something you tell
only one person at a time

10/15/2006 my ovaries

 

my ovaries
are merely in my head
but the worry
of a barren time to come
plays part in my desire
to nurture every line

10/14/2006 rudolph steiner

 

self-importance knows no boundary

10/14/2006 my testicles

 

but we shall only know the glory
of the few combinations we pursued

10/09/2006 if I changed

 

if I changed
everything about you
and turned you into
someone else
would I love you the same?

10/09/2006 what am I going to do

 

you have seen
a version of the truth of me
but does the truth
have versions?

10/09/2006 no more rhyme

 

and stop pandering
your thoughts
are important enough without it

10/09/2006 the first babystep

 

every road from here
leads away

10/09/2006 do not make the mistake

 

do not make the mistake
of asking what I mean

10/09/2006 leave the bible

 

but neither of us have
the stomach or strength
to reinvent their purpose
to suit our lives

10/09/2006 how can such clumsy moves

 

how can the appropriate words
be so excruciatingly difficult
to find

10/09/2006 I wrote your neckline

 

I read your face as landscape
not portrait
a place to see, somewhere to be

10/09/2006 I don’t know what you mean

 

giving in
is an integral part
of every fight

10/09/2006 back on the scene of the crime

 

as I look out across
the gray slab of water
in crossfilter morning light
a wingless muse calls my name

10/09/2006 who convinced you

 

if I could beat sense
into a head
yours would be
my first choice

10/02/2006 you are a poem

 

you are a caterpillar of wish

09/27/2006 you have bruises

 

If I ever see your words within a five-mile radius, I will seek a restraining order.

09/27/2006 your south sea skin

 

a pocketful of change
for a lifetime of chaste

09/27/2006 want to make you smile on buses

 

I want to make you smile on buses
and laugh out loud
with strangers looking on
to have a fucking fit
in the middle of a crowd

09/25/2006 the kiss of truth

 

for nothing lies
more convincingly
than a syrupy tongue

09/25/2006 so you read

 

but art is like a child, my dear
faithful to its own truth

09/25/2006 when is it over

 

our past has changed colour
so many times now
and we have wasted
every chance to meet

09/24/2006 lovenot on lycon quer sall

 

sweet ruin,
love not only conquers all
it shatters what it touches

09/24/2006 lose the map

 

lose the map
we’d get lost
a lot faster

09/24/2006 they should make a statue of your mind

 

they ought to build a church
a congregation for your thoughts

09/06/2006 re-open the door

 

this is you, this is yours
you are home

08/27/2006 redux

 

guard your heart against hope
take your mind off the mess you’re in

08/27/2006 call me old-fashioned

 

…but I did appreciate
so many of you coming to the shows!

08/23/2006 the other me is having more fun than I am

 

your gucci eyes
match your wallpaper smile

08/23/2006 how can you miss me if I never go away

 

(illegal to import ‘tsks’ – and rightly so…except if you buy an old piano – in which case it is your solemn duty to play something beautiful enough to make the elephant forgive)

08/23/2006 the native flute (no relation)

 

your strength
is you remember
mine
that I forget

08/23/2006 why is it kudos are quicker than comments?

 

your world colonized
by the empire of me

08/23/2006 seriously now

 

the tattoo on my soul is you

08/23/2006 one more for friendships (passing in the night)

 

the things we love destroying most
are things we helped create

08/23/2006 and then tomorrow…

 

and anyway I am a better human being with a hangover

08/22/2006 make a world to suit my mood

 

there is a rent
in your world
leading to
another
you

08/21/2006 Butterflies are Disappearing

 

according to brodsky, a tear is a consequence of having to let beauty go.
that is what I love about the fall. that and the blue sky.

08/11/2006 ode to the three most important women of my life

 

maybe life is something someone can make sense of

08/11/2006 poetry on toast – I like that

 

we are not measured by what we get
but how we deal with what we lose
we’re defined by opportunities we threw away
and the mistakes we learn to use

08/03/2006 ICA piece statement (of sorts)

 

we are almost 80% water and still we are thirsty

08/03/2006 surely you can’t expect me to continue on like this..!?

 

memory makes my mouth
kiss itself with conviction

08/03/2006 gat shemen

 

the worst part
is the memories
we will never share

08/03/2006 it’s a well known fact

 

(I love the English language – just wish it liked me)

08/03/2006 from the archives (running out of ideas – tell no one!)

 

no thought a train
no day the same

08/03/2006 a sad state of affaires

 

some decisions are made
from the singing of the blood in our veins

08/03/2006 singalong song (let’s hear the ladies…)

 

but recent times don’t stand up to
the way you were before

08/02/2006 words

 

words
to veil and seduce
words
to beguile and confuse

08/02/2006 you will not see me

 

you will not see me
but you will see
the jet trails of my escape

08/02/2006 the natives are getting restless

 

Oh yes, poetry is suffering on the altar of prosaic summer activities (or was that prozaic slumber activities), but then you all seem so informed it’s hard to keep up with my own life…

07/12/2006 1+1=22

 

Even if the numbers dont add up,
you will find much potential in the calculation.

07/12/2006 I do like to be beside the seaside

 

your mind has sprung a leak
like an old boat

06/29/2006 forgive and forget

 

forget the difference friend;
forgetters give what forgivers get

06/27/2006 archeologically yours

 

for we are mummified
and will turn to sand
in each others arms
if careless

the headsman in me

I immediately had a vision of the ensuing culture that would emerge and I liked it.

but at the time and for some reason, I was cocksure.

06/12/2006 The world has teeth

 

My own little army of wordspies out there scouring the field!

06/12/2006 wordsprouts, fontvegetables and grammatical gardens

 

the poet is a vulture
the vulture is a poet

06/11/2006 the way it works

 

Every book I read I mark every word or line that triggers something in me, and when I finish the book I write them all down in my notebook filed under “lines from literature” so I know where they came from. A book that doesn’t give me lines is not a good book…in my book.

05/29/2006 you say poetato I say potryto

 

Naturally I was curious as to your comments about ‘black and blue’ demo, but you all know what I like now: undiluted praise.

05/28/2006 new song

 

Is it a demo, is it a track in the making, is it a finished masterpiece..? Who cares, it’s music.

05/27/2006 this is not the title of this piece the line beneath is

 

these are the roadsigns
leading bck to where we were

05/27/2006 sharks

04/26/2006 making friends was never easier

 

I now officially have more than 300 friends in here – and here was me downsizing the department; not returning calls, generally being rude or unresponsive, making inappropriate and/or unintelligible comments to everyone – and it was working too!

04/25/2006 blog and blurb = bog and burp…(a book rec. of sorts)

 

I have been known to stick my neck out once or twice, and I won’t be surprised if I do it again, but these periods are invariably followed by the slowburning acid of self-scrutiny and maudlin moments of doubt…why are the stairs up from the basement getting longer each time?

Some points are strengthened by being made over and over. I don’t know if any of it is important, and I don’t care if it is any good, but at least it’s not trying to hide anything – it’s not trying to score points. I’m proud of that much.
