Double review of the box and the book in Dagbladet
Actually, La Luna and A shortcut to the stars have been released elsewhere and Jazz på trøndska is the hidden bonus track from the cd version of Blissard (although I can't remember that piano). On the other hand, what's with the B-side version of Drug thing? I can't tell from the short snippet if it's a whole different take, but the vocals are definitely different (and not too great!). Flick of the wrist is also an unreleased version AFAIK. Hey, did anyone recognise that VERY familiar guitar riff coming in towards the end of the Never judge snippet yet?
The first chapter concists of four pieces:
The first one doesnt't do much but annoy me because I just can't stand this style of writing; endless sentences with a billion commas. Utterly pretencious and boring.
The second piece is a short one: "I don't think any album, not a single one, ever made me as happy as Blissard did." I can relate to that!
The third piece annoys me again, neither due to content nor form, I guess – I just got so damn jealous when I realised that when working on this book, Johan Harstad was probably given the opportunity to ask all the nerdy fanboy questions I've always wanted to. :wink:
The fourth piece is a perfect summary of the young adult's coming to terms with realising that he's no longer in that place in life where contemporary rock music is a matter so important it's beyond life and death. Great reading!
You're not wrong, TvdR. There were rumors back in the days, but I can't remember any interview or article I've read where a band member has been really outspoken about it. This Norwegian one from the AADAP era kind of hints at it, though:
Quote:Denne gangen har heller ikke Bent vært nodt til å dra så mye av lasset på egen hånd. På Blissard er det vel mange "Sæther" i parentes på låtlista. Det siste året har glidd lettere. Alle har bidratt til låtene, og Snah har omsider blitt venn med mikrofonen. Bent har mast og mast.LOL! Now, when they take this to the opera they simply must have dancing pirate dwarves and a miniature model of a sailboat descending from the ceiling. If they do that, I can die a happy man.
Wow, this sure is getting silly.
I'll throw in some more:Nothing to Sail
Demon Boat
Another Ugly Tuna
Back to Shores
The Seas Are Full of… Wine?
Captain Geebheart
She Left on the Supply Ship
Those of you who got your tickets: How long did it take from the order was placed until you received them? I ordered 8 tickets for myself, my wife and a bunch of friends two weeks ago, and still haven't received anything but the confirming e-mail. I'm getting kind of nervous here. 8O
At last! Sentrum Scene, Oslo confirmed.
Damn shame I couldn't attend, but this is what it looked like, anyway.
