Norwegian bands and artists

[Guybrush]

Lol I've heard of Turbonegro before. Was in another forum and the question was whether the name was problematic.

I'd say it is and I think that was the point. It probably served them well as a ridiculous and vaguely offensive name that was hard to forget. I also think it was a little edgy in the 80s and then the lines have shifted a bit since then 😄 it probably doesn't serve them as well now.

A little more on the guys:

Bassist Thomas Seltzer (Happy Tom) has hosted a TV show where he interviews people sometimes on the fringes of society and has also made a documentary about Trumpism in the US, etc.

Knut Schreiner I'm a little unsure of, but he did have his own west coast band Kåre & the Cavemen that later changed name to Euroboys. Sounds like a porn name.

@Marie Monday maybe Scampi Chips Dip & Campari would be interesting to you? One of the members is a dear old friend of mine who came to the concert we played recently 🙂

[Marie Monday]

Thanks, I'll check it out

[Guybrush]

@Marie Monday Is this like the third time I dump random girl punk related stuff on you? 😅 I'm sorry. I got too few RL friends who really appreciate it.

[Marie Monday]

idk but I appreciate it

I just got a couple Jaga Jazzist records a few days ago:

[Guybrush]

Nice ones, Jans 🙂 I like them! I should definitely check those out.

Maybe someone else knows about the seemingly mostly forgotten pop band Briskeby?

They had some pleasant hits in the early 2000s, the first of them I believe being Propaganda. Some examples:

I'm reminded of The Cardigans that were active around the same time, but seemed to have more success.

I think Briskeby were good, but perhaps just a bit too straight and clean to be truly memorable.

This week's transmission of Hearts of Space showcases ambient instrumental composers (mostly) from Norway.

This week on Hearts of Space...
PGM 1382 : "LOVING EVERY NOTE"
DESCRIPTION : the slow, lyrical world of atmospheric Eurojazz

GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Space Jazz

FEED DATE : 10-04-24

INTRO : At the elevated heights of musical skill, we encounter different kinds of virtuosity.

In classical and jazz, playing fast and furious commands the attention, raises the energy, and concentrates the mind; while playing slow, deep, and intense, focuses hearing, and opens up a world of subtle timing and melodic sensitivity. This is the perception that underlies ambient, space, atmospheric, and contemplative music.

For centuries the small Scandinavian country of Norway has excelled at slow, patient, intensely melodic music. It's not about how many notes you play, but how beautifully you play them. Unlike the virtuosity of fast tempos, says one of these musicians, it's about loving every note.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we  revisit the lyrical, atmospheric world of Eurojazz, on a program called LOVING EVERY NOTE.
