Happy Norway To You!



Every time I visit my mother I seem to unearth more and more stunningly awful Norwegian kitsch...how much could she have toted over from the old country when she came here?? Anyway, this time it was lovely black and white guidebooks paying tribute to the joys of Norski living, with photos of cod drying in the sun, hideously ugly wedding parties, babes in the nip posing as the Little Mermaid (hey, no fair, that belongs to the Danes!) and the photo below of a woman who is best pals with a bear. Let's just be grateful by the time this pic was taken, she had weaned if off to the bottle.

Rock Over Europe



Who wants some swingin' 50s-60s pop tunes from France, Germany, Italy, Norway....really, all across Europe? Answer: if you know what's good for you, YOU do. De Zwarte Moustachen, Brita Borg's Frankenstein Rock, Hawaiian War Chant from the Netherlands, and the loopy Chimpanzee Rock from the Hula Hawaiians (been looking for this one for a while!), it's ALL good. It's just been posted over at ManzeRock, get it while it's hot.

True Norwegian Black Metal


'Kvitrafn of Wardruna'
"... In the last two decades a bizarre and violent musical subculture called Black Metal has emerged in Norway. It has its roots in a heady blend of splatter movies, heavy metal music, Satanism, Pagan mythology and adolescent angst. In the early-mid 1990's, members of this extremist underground committed murder, burned down medieval wooden churches, and desecrated graveyards. What started as juvenile frenzy came to symbolize the start of a war against Christianity, a return to the worship of the ancient Norse gods, and the complete rejection of mainstream society. .." (quoted from the Press Release)

The Klan doing the naughty metal macarena

I just found this rather strange Metal video on YouTube.
The band is "a progressive hard rock project with musicians based in Norway and New Zealand" (according to the info on their site).
It's 2 dudes disguised as Ku Klux Klansmen doing the Macarena and getting a little carried away... Hm... NSFW.
