      Still on the same Page, the Laird of Heimly is also a distant cousin to the first two and a half minutes of Easy Does it from the overlooked Coverdale Page album – a really great rock album to these ears.

        @bernie: You made me look up the meaning of ‘intertextuality’! I think the last time I came across this word was a long time ago, probably when studying T.S. Eliot. Anyway, spot on with all of that! And isn’t it all very Motorpsycho? From now on, as per otherdemon, it’s ‘Friends of Heimly’. (Versions of ‘Friends’ grace both Led Zep III and, even more exotically, Page and Plant’s first album.)

          Dinosaur Sr, i.e. Bolan and Took (pre-T Rex).

            Bed of Roses. Picking up a little Tyrannosaurus Rex here. Not a bad thing.

              Ha, ha! He should come clean!

              Really like that tasty riff on The Comeback. It wouldn’t be out of place on Child of the Future.

                @Ratmaus: Very much so! Or something off that first Page and Plant album.

                  We have Bart Hansen to thank for this belated present. So much has happened since then!

                    Wishing you a speedy recovery, Snah!

                    At least it wasn’t a bone too near that amazing guitar playing!

                      @Vegard: Ah, okay. I thought I might have spotted a nice full circle there as I saw similarities and wondered whether there had been changes over the years, but you will know for sure. It looks like it is a Shell garage in the video, so that wraps that up.

                      I think this might have been a bit niche and obsessive on my part! I need to get a life!

                        I have two questions arising from that video. I’m sure someone will be able to answer at least the first.

                        Is the garage seen at 1:01 and at other points the one where Home of the Brave was played on TV? I think it is!

                        At 3:55, what are we looking at there? Is that the recent lining up in the sky of Saturn and Venus?

                        Some time, we’ll have to have a little review of the occult stuff, symbolism, hand gestures, etc. going on here and elsewhere in the body of work.

                          Thanks, Krist, I appreciate that. I’m not going to bemoan my lot because I’ve been very lucky up to now but it does give me an insight into how frustrating it must be for Ingvald because, when you think it’s on the mend, you try something, and back it comes again.

                          I’m not playing drums under my current life circumstances but I’m sure kicking that bass drum would punish my Achilles’ over and over.

                          Maybe the solution is for Ingvald to move to Trondheim and focus exclusively on Motorpsycho!

                            Ingvald has my sympathy. Rest is very necessary. I have been struggling with Achilles’ tendonitis now for ten months. It just won’t heal. It has prevented me from going out for runs with the result that, even though I have tried to modify my diet, I have added a few pounds around the midriff!

                            In about a month, I will be commencing shockwave therapy – maybe laser treatment too. In case you are reading this, Ingvald, I am unable, as yet, to recommend these on the basis of experience, but they might be avenues for you to explore.

                              Thank you for that account, Rolf. The bit about getting back to being “vrang” is the best news!

                                Nothing! It would be a complete non sequitur to smear someone as ‘far right’ for holding such a view.

                                  What a great way to begin 2025! Massive thanks to everybody who puts in the effort and has the generosity of spirit to share with us!
