In 2000/2001, Flunk did sessions in Oslo with Ulf and Jo. Uncertain when the Flunk name materialised, but in the beginning it was meant to be an instrumental/sampled vocal project with no particular ambition. And certainly no record deal. In 2001, they signed for a track on a compilation on Beatservice Records, and the label manager Vidar Hanssen was so impressed that he soon signed the ‘band’ for an album.Most of the debut album was recorded in early summer. Most tracks were laid out before singer Anja was involved, she came in and improvised and the songs were taken from there. Then Jo would add his layers of guitar. Still it would take almost a year until the album was completed and released. In 2002, First Flunk release was a vinyl only 12″, Miss World. It was followed by a cover of New Order’s classic anthem, Blue Monday, in April. The track received a lot of attention in the UK, and has been used on a lot of compilations, TV series and movies, both in Europe and the US. Debut album For Sleepyheads Only was released in late April. Great reviews in Norway. The band were invited to do a BBC recording session in London for Rob da Bank’s Radio 1 show The Blue Room, and made their UK live debut at the Notting Hill Art’s Club. Flunk also signed to Guidance Recordings in the US. The debut album got raving reviews in some of the British electronica magazines (album of the month in DJ Mag).

If our love is all that we have, caught up the sleeve And if I choose, if I choose, the love that we share, would it be here Keep coming to me, keep coming to me, I'll set you free And if our love is to keep, if our love is the key, it's caught up my sleeve All the love, all is love, so wipe out my heart, if you want to see And if I call, if I call, would you be the one, the one that I seek Keep coming to me, keep coming to me, I'll set you free And if our love is to keep, if our love is the key, it's caught up my sleeve Or so it's said, that the world of ours all lies in dreams You got to keep them, out of reach for some I wouldn't like to be the one, the one that you have hurt So all appear to be as you see here One too many, too many choices I have here You've got to choose from the top of your head I have one too many, too many reasons to be here And that's what keeps me, so let it be There are so many people and so much fuzz around us They keep crashing, into a situation And so they say, that the world of ours all lies in dreams We got to keep them, real Sit Down

See you
( Martin Gore - Depeche Mode cover )
All I want to do is see you again Is that too much to ask for I just want to see your sweet smile Smiled the way it was before Well I'll try not to hold you And I'll try not to kiss you And I won't even touch you All I want to do is see you Don't you know that it's true I remember the days when we walked through the woods We'd sit on a bench for a while I treasure the way we used to laugh and play And look in each others eyes You can keep me at a distance if you don't trust my resistance But I swear I won't touch you Well I know five years is a long time and that times change But I think that you'll find people are basically the same If the water's still flowing we can go for a swim And do the things we used to do And if I'm reluctant you can pull me in We can relive our youth But we'll just stay friendly like sister and brother Though I think I still love you Two Icicles
I'm a weirdo that's why I secretly comes by Now two icicles appear About to love We're two icicles on a spree And icicles they are free And you belong to me Like icicles belong to the sea I'm so happy when it rains We remain, still everything will change I'm so happy when it rains We're the same, still everything will change You could call this love If you make me feel wanted Let's call this love You can write our names On the tree that you have chosen You ought to know Change My Ways
I've got to change my ways I've got to change my ways I've got to change my ways I've got to buy a new dress, and do my hair My hair is everywhere - these days I've got to change my ways I could change my name, and change my number Change my frame of mind from slumber I've got to change my ways I've got to change my ways I want to change the world I can't even change this girl I want to change the world But I can't even change myself I've got to change my ways I've got to change my attitude I've got to change my diet I've got to change my quiet moods I've got to change that hi hat I've got to change that ringtone on my phone I've got to change my habits I've got to go to Rome in the fall Before I've had it Keep On
Come on and make a wish I don't want to know I want to see this love You might as well let go I want to feel like this There's something in your eyes Might be my twisted mind I think it's paradise Come on and make a wish Before the sun goes up I want to see this love We might as well let go You said my life would leave my heart in a deadly spin So why don't you come on, baby Come on and catch my kiss It's flying low I want to see this love We might as well let go Diet Of Water and Love
( The Valium Poets ) When you are here With me With valium poets all ears Floating on clouds We wait For whatever comes around It's so perfectly quiet and I'm And I'm gonna stay On a diet of water and love While life goes on

Fingertips If you kiss me now, I would surely die And I'd go to heaven with a smile If you touch my lips with your fingertips My heart would skip a thousand beats When I close my eyes, I see Something words won't reveal 'Cause everybody loves someone Sometimes a stranger comes along When I close my eyes, it just clicks I'm caught in a bliss 'Cause everybody loves someone Some oblivious, ??? If you kiss me now, I would surely die But I'd go to heaven with a smile If you touch my lips with your fingertips My heart would skip a thousand beats

The Sound Of Silence (Simon & Garfunkel / Cover Ups Vol. 1 & 2 LP) Hello, darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a streetlamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share No one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools," said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, "The words are written on the subway walls And tenement halls" And whispered in the silence
