Not a huge Ed Sheeran fan but we’re watching «One Shot» in New York and it’s pure joy! (And I really appreciate what he’s doing for music education in the UK!)

A superthin sliver of Northern Lights over Oslo right now. Probably a little clearer away from the city lights. 2025-11-21

Carmina Burana in Oslo Konserthus 2025-11-21. The first time I have heard it in the concert hall without being in the choir myself! (And I managed to refrain from singing along :-) …)

Oslo is covered with a thin layers of snow. Not enough for a winter wonderland but enough to make pavements slippery. Nydalen, Oslo

Friday again and (after a short break) homemade pizza again! To prove that I’m not a boring middle-aged Dad, I made it while listening to a Keane CD with the volume turned up a wee bit. Wishing you all a wonderful, peaceful, safe, and happy weekend! Be kind!

Absolutely phenomenal concert with the Unni Wilhelmsen Trio live at John Dee, Oslo. 2025-11-13 Great voice, great band, and a very entertaining and genuine performer. She will be doing a bigger show 24. October 2026 - highly recommended!

Oslohøsten gjør alt den kan for å skjerme meg for nordlyset men den ga meg litt fint lys på St.Hanshaugen nå. Oslo 2025-11-12

Level 42 live in Oslo 2025-11-09. That was incredible! Would have been worth the price of the ticket for the bass guitar alone. I could have seen them back in the 80s when it would have been cool, but better late than never:) I’ve seen some *legendary* bass players but MK is just something else!

One year ago today. Dream Theater played in Oslo and I was sitting on planes from Eugene to San Francisco, SFO to Munich, and Munich to Oslo. 2024-11-09

Det er ugler i mosen!
Nei - det er ugler i Moss.
Vent litt nå, nei - JEG er i Moss.
Hvorfor er jeg i Moss?!
Det er bare uglene som vet.

Kari Bremnes - live at Sentrum Scene, Oslo 2025-11-06. Fantastic voice and fantastic sound. I do like the up-tempo stuff so much better than the down-tempo stuff - and I miss the darkness and drama of how «Mitt hjerte hamrer og hamrer» used to sound. But always worth hearing!

Todd Rundgren live in Oslo 2025-11-05. Not a lifelong fan or anything but it’s a kind of «Well I guess I ought to see him if he’s in town!» I only have one of his records (Utopia’s «Ra») and, no he didn’t play «Singring and the Glass Guitar (An Electrified Fairytale)» A solid and enthusiastic crowd!

If one is adversely affected by dark and cold, does it help listening to this kind of music?! 🤔

We are now *really* in that season in Norway when it is dark when I leave for work and dark when I come home. Much as I love living in Norway, I am not lying when I say that it is actually a lot of hard work looking after myself in this time. Nydalen, Oslo 2025-11-03

There was no homemade pizza on Friday evening so I will try to make up for it with homemade lasagna now … hope that’s ok?

This album getting loads of attention right now both with the film and new special edition. It never made a big impression on me so I’m going to try to get to know it - before deciding to buy the new release! My respect is growing and growing - it deserves another listen! #BruceSpringsteen #Nebraska
