Escape from boredom

When we where driving to Vestlandet for our easter vacation I started singing on “Aagot Stang”. Then, when refueling at Stryn I came across this cd costing only 60,- and I just had to buy it, because of Aagot Stang. We started listening to it, and soon realized that Eldar Vågan has one hell of a talent when it comes to writing lyrics, but also as a composer. Until I bought the cd we both thought that most of the tunes Vazelina plays are cover of more famous tunes but with their own lyrics, but that is not a fact. Eldar Vågan has in fact written quite a lot of tunes as well…

To bad that Viggo Sandvik no longer is vocalist in the band, after 25 years he retired, but before I really discovered them…doh! Read more at http://www.vazelina.no/

Men har du noen gang lufte på eksos frå en båtmotor i ferskvatten?
Slik en 2 og en halv hesters outboard i Mjøsa utved domkirkeodden
Kjinne vinddrag frå åker og eng og flatebygder rundt omkring.
Blæs bort stresset og uro i skrotten min, bedre hæll æll medisin

Other genious lyrics: “Hårete gåsunger”, “11 år uten kvinnfolk”, “En stor sølvgrå lastebil” and much more

A gift from Elin. Every cd collection needs at least two cd’s from The Stones, since I now have two 🙂

Watching Lydverket a few weeks ago, they where talking about the most sampled song ever in Hip-Hop, Apache by the Incredible Bongo Band, which also had sampled the song from The Shadows. So, for that reason I had to buy it, it is a must have in every cd collection.

Any decent record collection should have at least one copy of Vikingarna. They have brought out more than 20 “Kramgoa Låtar” according to http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikingarna

Another one with Beck, needed this one as well. Kinda strange cover, but he is an innovator

Have planned for years to buy records with Beck, but have not. But now I have…

Went into Platekompaniet at Oslo City and they played this one in the store…and liked it, and I also knew that my friend Atle was present at Rockefeller, so Atle, you are on my cd!!

I remember this from when I was a child, played it a lot, “…this is my life….”, “…hva gør vi nu, lille du???….”
