Someone suggested that I put up some sort of archive page, to create an overview of the many songs.
I found out it’s quite difficult to do this in a meaningful way. No matter what, it seems to be impossible. I guess it’s one of the big challenges publishing in a blog format. How to keep the old posts from being burried in the swamp of old material.
I made the archive page http://www.oneweeklygun.com/archive.
It’s a very interesing aspect of this project, and I have never considered it before. I will try different approaches in the future to deal with it. Feel free to tell me what you think about the new archive.

“What?” - you might ask. And with every right. You’re probably used to the lo-fi sounds of OWG by now. You know when you only have three hours to do everything from getting the idea, to publishing the song, sometimes it affects the ‘quality’ of the sounds. I try hard to cope with these challenges - If I can’t get an instrument to sound right, it’s better to lose it. The three hour limit often get’s it’s significant saying on the sound of the song.
But this time it’s different. We are recording a brilliant episode for new year for yo
u guys! More than 50 musicians will be participating! It’s a mastodont musical frame around my little voice. The production is handled by A Kid Hereafter and my friend Jakob Faurholt.

The song we are recording is a rendition of the very first song here at One Weekly Gun. It’s called ‘One Song Every Week’ and can be heard here.
Much has changed since then. When I recorded the first song, I only had the idea of weekly songs for like 5 minutes. It all went very fast. My wife came home, and I was all excited. “Guess what! I’m gonna do weekly songs now!!!”.
“…ok!?!…”
I didn’t know how far this would take me.
Right now I’m still feeling like, I’m giving birth to the concept. Every day new thoughts and ideas about the future of the blog is created in my brain. I’m getting a lot of mail feedback from all you guys out there. I really appreciate it. Both when you tell me you love OWG and when you tell me you don’t.
Please continue to do so, and post comments here on the site.
So what is One Weekly Gun apart from a nerdy punk guy’s naive dream of revolution of the web and international music business? I’ll get back to that in a future post.
In the meantime, if you want to be among the first to receive the New Year special complete with the big orchestra go sign up for the newsletter. That way you’ll get it straight to your inbox, when it’s launched!
Bye
