You are Swiss, and expecting to be impressed by Maridalen? Prepare to be underwhelmed.
Lauterbrunnen it ain't.
Hi, a deluxe edition of the book about Blissard by author Johan Harstad will be out soon, crowd funded on http://www.newjelly.com/. There is a Norwegian press release, which I have roughly translated here:
—
MOTORPSYCHO "BLISSARD" BY JOHAN HARSTAD, DELUXE EDITION ON NEW JELLY
On November 23rd, Falck Forlag AS (publishing) will release book number 12 in the Morgenbladet newspaper Top 100 album series. Earlier, noted authors like Frode Grytten, Stig Sæterbakken, Ketil Bjørnstad, Gro Dahle and Fredrik Wandrup have written about noted acts like a-ha, DePress, Radka Toneff, deLillos and Jan Garbarek, but now the pinnacle remains: Yes, John Harstad’s book about Motorpsycho’s «Blissard»!
The book is a mastodon of a tribute to Johan’s favourite album of all time. It will be released in same form as the other 11 books in the series: 12x18cm paperback, but in the Motorpsycho spirit we now announce a hardcover edition for the die-hards, only available on newjelly.com.
The cover is designed by Harstad’s own design agency LACTR, and will be in a limited edition. We don’t know how many yet, it is up to you. Every person who orders the book, will have his/her copy hand numbered and signed by the author, in the mail before the regular edition hits the shelves.
The book is only NOK 299, about 330 pages, has thick nice paper and is guaranteed to become a collectible, IF it gets made.
To print this book, we have to cover the printing cost, about NOK 30000. That means 100 copies. If we can do that, we can look forward to the fall’s most exclusive and broad music biography in hardcover.
Do not miss this opportunity. The offer is good from October 19th until November 5th.
Now, it is up to you. If enough people participate, you will have your book, if not you will have your money back.

Krakow: Mound. A live version of a standout track from their latest, Diin.
I'd skip the banana too. More revolting pizzas here: https://www.google.com/search?q=world%27s+most+revolting+pizza&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=tZhTUMfgDcbi4QSapYCgBw&biw=1608&bih=879&sei=uZhTUIztGoGo4gSBy4DQBQ
New date: November 19th.
Whiskey and rocknroll, didn't they play something like that on that birthday gig for Harald Are Lund, when Willy B played, or am I wrong…
SABATON
Is what I can't get enough of these days. Northern Swedish heavy metal that scrubs the floor with your wimpy indie prog.
Apparently there will be a spot about this gig on NRK Midtnytt tonight.
Glenn Hughes shows how it's done (!):

In those days, the headliner tuned up on stage.
