Topp 100 Norwegian Rock Songs 1990-2020
See you in the mosh pit! Make a list of the top 100 Norwegian Rock songs between 1990 and 2020. How hard can that be? Well, it turned out to be a lot of work – but ended up with a nice list! When I read an article from Egon Holstad about his top 100 […]
Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers
They could have sounded like Pavement, but The National ended up sounding like… The National! Meet one of my favorite bands and their album “Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers” Life is an endless line of stories and challenges. Some you win and some you lose. The National tells stories too, through the fantastic voice of […]
Get Motivated!

Music and Playlists – Part 1, The Road Runner!
Looking back as long as I remember, music has been important to me. My first memories of music and how much of an impact it had on me is from my childhood, where I was flat out on the floor in front of our stereo – playing The Beatles’ Rubber Soul (1965), Revolver (1966), ”The […]

The Soundtrack of my Christmas
Christmas music and I did initially not get off well year as I was in Orlando, Florida late November and early December. It was 25-28 degrees Celsius and loads of really, really bad versions of traditional Christmas songs played everywhere; Hotel Lobbies, Shopping Malls, Restaurants and Diners. But, last night, it was time to get […]
Unconditional Love – The Ballad of Love and Hate
Christmas brings the full range of feelings; memories of people who’s not around anymore, love, doubt, fear of being lonely – all of them more visible and in the open. One of my favorite songs is by The Avett Brothers – The Ballad of Love and Hate. The Avett Brothers (Scott & Seth) are a […]
Falling in Love Just Make Me Blue
Soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car! The most distinctive voice in music was described in such a fashionably correct manner by critic Daniel Durchholz in the book “Musichound Rock: The Essential Album Guide” by Gray Graff. […]
