Going through some of my old mp3s, I came over quite a lot of rap music. And I discovered Ghetto Gospel by 2pac, with Elton John stepping in to do the chorus. What is he thinking? I really can’t get my mind around it. What’s the link between a street poet vs a gay in […]

If you’re going to Oslo opera to see the last performance tomorrow, don’t read this. Sitting at work earlier today, my mother sent me an SMS message asking me whether I’d like to see Mozart’s opera Titus. A two minute notice to think about it, I shut down the computer and left work earlier than […]

Nutshell  Brother  No Excuses  Sludge Factory  Down in a hole  Angry Chair  Rooster  Got me Wrong  Heaven Beside You  Would?  Frogs  Over Now  Killer is me  This album has got to be among my ten most played albums. It was recorded in April 1996, and marked a depressing turning point for AIC, especially lead singer […]

Tom Waits’ latest item to worship, is his 3 CD box set called Orphans, a name derived from the fact that these songs didn’t belong to any home (album). It’s too early to say whether this is something only for the hardcore fan like myself, but with 16+20+18 = 54 songs (over 30 "new" ones) […]

These are live recordings of Tom Waits from 1976, in spirit of my all-time favourite Tom Waits album called Nighthawks at the Diner. Enjoy. PART I PART II I usually won’t post uTube stuff here, but this called for an exception. Thanks to Kornelius for letting me know. There’s heaps of Tom Waits material like […]

I was waiting for her to be finished with the coffee vendor machine, when she absentmindedly started singing: Don’t cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me? Don’t cha wish your girlfriend was fun like me? Don’t cha? The inside of me was screaming: YES!! I just looked down and mumbled: "I don’t have a […]

Every once in a while I stumble over strange CDs and recordings that I just have to buy, because I’ll probably never see them again in my life. Today when I was picking up a couple of shipments at the post office, I noticed this in their bizarro collection: Classic BRUCE WILLIS Wtf? I didn’t […]

Please go to Alarmprisen 2006 (below): http://www.alarmprisen.no/06/?page_id=14 and vote for Cloroform. Their album, Cracked Wide Open, kicked ass upon release and even today. Cloroform is one of the few very interesting punk/jazz bands in Norway today. Thanks for helping out!

My cousin, Arnbjørg, just told me that she’d met Norwegian popstar Maria Arredondo (picture) at some free concert in Sandnes last Saturday. She even got a picture and an autograph. Phew. Why do I never meet blond, female superstars? Hmm.. Arredondo was born in 1985. That means I could go for it, right?
