Escape from boredom

20,- NOK at Platekompaniet, a must have just because of the price, but also the fact that I need to have a huge collection of rock’n roll so that my son can get to learn what real music sounds like

20,- NOK at Platekompaniet, a must have just because of the price, but also the fact that it is Judas Priest.

20,- NOK at Platekompaniet. The Byrds, have I heard of them – think so, now I have a cd of them as well…

20,- NOK at Platekompaniet. Spanish/Cubano hip-hop, my third Orishas CD.

20,- NOK at Platekompaniet, and Judas Priest is a must have, could not resist it!

How cool is that? Jon and Tracy Morter made it this year, making the X-factor winner not being #1 on the UK charts this Christmas. And what a song they choosed: “Killing in the name” with Rage Against the Machine. The lyrics of each song from RATM is worth taking a closer look at, since they are very political influenced.

Written about revolution against corruption in society, “Killing in the Name” is widely recognised as the band’s signature song, and has been noted for its distinctive guitar riffs and heavy use of strong language.

Then I will recommend listening to Harald Are Lund on NRK, also available for streaming…off course http://www.nrk.no/programmer/sider/harald_are_lund/

On the 14’th of December he started his show playing Thåström, but off course!

I granted Elin two tickets to the Christmas concert with Sissel Kyrkjebø and Odd Nordstoga as the morning gift from me (together with a pair of earrings). She wanted me to join her, and today was the day for the concert. Both artists are very good, and together they are good as well. We had a really enjoyable one and a half hours.

But I must say that Oslo Spektrum sucks as a concert hall for such type of music. When Green Day and Metallica and such bands have a concert, the volume is so loud that you do not notice the echo, but when Sissel sings you cannot avoid hearing the fact that Oslo Spektrum provides a lot of echo. I would rather prefer Oslo Konserthu

Finally I got my ass to Platekompaniet and bought this album which I’ve mentioned several times already in my blog. Not much on their website, more to be found if you follow the links to either Facebook or Myspace.

Platekompaniet 20,- NOK, but I must admit that even though I not a hardcore pop-kinda-guy, and have rejected everything from Idol in public…Margaret Berger, even if she attended Idol, this ain’t bad.

“Will you remember me” and also “Samantha” being quite ok…
