Escape from boredom

No reason to explain why! Just check http://www.platekompaniet.no/cdproduct.asp?id=9864903

Have for long wanted something with Live, since I am a great fan of some of their songs, for instance Selling the Drama. So when at Platekompaniet, I had to buy it. Listening to it right now at work. More of Live at http://www.friendsoflive.com/

Me and Elin went to Platekompaniet since there was a power breakdown in Oslo yesterday, because of that the movie we went to see was cancelled. Had been wandering around for a while when stumbeling over this record. Remember that my mother had it when I was a kid, I jused to play it, so I had to buy it. The following text in Norwegian is written inside the cover:

I 1972 var vi ivrige deltakere i to politiske oppgjør: Kampen for å bevare Bakklandet og kampen mot EEC. Vi så dem som to sider av samme sak. Derfor laget vi historien om Bakklandet Bassangforening for å omgå den politiske sensuren i NRK.
Da vi så skulle spille inn denne platen i 1975, hadde Norge sagt nei til EEC, og kampen for Bakklandet så ut til å være vunnet. Derfor må vi innrømme at historien om Bassangforeningen skled litt ut. Den ble nok ikke helt politisk korrekt.
Nå er EEC blitt EU, men ideen er den samme. Baklandet er blitt fint, men sjelen er den samme. Planter er blitt CD, men innholdet er det ikke noe å gjøre med.
Det er dette som kalles fremskritt.

As written above, this is really a project by Knutsen og Ludvigsen, but it’s given the name Bakklandet Bassangforening to decoy NRK 🙂
