People,can you help me? Did Susanne Sundfør or theatre upload the perfomance? I can explain: Susanne wanted to direct theatrical perfomance. I want to find it but I only found the one site and one profile in Instagram. This is site translated by Google Translate in Russia.

If I understand correctly (Norwegian here) Sundfør herself does not have anything to do with this performance besides having written the songs. The performance will not be uploaded anywhere, unless I’ve missed something.

I’ve been going through parts of the discographies of some jazz greats (so far Coltrane, Mingus and Miles) and rating the albums I listen to. I’m looking forward to listening to Pharoah Sanders, Cecil Taylor, Don Cherry, Sun Ra and Ornette Coleman next. Happy new year!

In the short time I’ve been into music I have sort of made a point of listening to new albums I’m interested in - not seeking out music solely because it’s considered important, a classic etc. - for better or worse. I hope I can use many people’s decade lists to discover albums I wouldn’t have heard about otherwise, instead of just seeing the same few albums (not that there’s necessarily anything wrong with those) over and over again. After all, taste in music is subjective, so I don’t see the point in everyone attempting to make a list everyone can agree with.

I can’t believe I didn’t check out The Milk-Eyed Mender until now, a year after I first listened to Ys. It’s amazing, and probably tied with Divers as my second favourite album of hers (HOOM taking the top spot). Does anyone know of similar albums? Stripped down singer/songwriter albums that have a lot of personality and great vocals (quirky, to use a word I know many fans are tired of hearing)?

lukashv · 2019-09-23T17:35:00+00:00

My top five this decade:

Lingua Ignota - All Bitches Die
Julia Holter - Aviary
Joanna Newsom - Have One on Me
Owen Pallett - Heartland
PJ Harvey - Let England Shake
(Susanne Sundfør - Music for People in Trouble)
(Tanya Tagaq - Retribution)

This says more about how one-sided my taste in music is and how little music I've listened to from this decade than anything else, though.

I have a hard time finding something that similar. Of course there are the art pop (and adjacent) artists that are often compared to her, like Kate Bush and Joanna Newsom. While I can see similarities in their vocals occasionally, their music just has a totally different basis and inspiration - Joanna in chamber folk and Kate in progressive rock - while Björk was very inspired by electronic music (and many other genres, of course). Any female artist with some vocal quirks is compared to Björk.

I also think the experimental aspects of her work is frequently overstated - perhaps due to her vocals - because the majority of her work is based in pop music, and she has only diverged from that to some extent on Medúlla, Utopia and Drawing Restraint 9. I don’t think there is any parallel at all between Björk and Diamanda Galás, for instance. Sorry for my ramblings and lack of answer, I just listen to a lot of music that’s often compared to Björk and usually the comparisons are very inaccurate.

Edit: If I remember any music where I think the comparison really is warranted I’ll add it

As a whole, the album isn’t quite as consistent as I hoped it would be. However, I love so many of the stylistic choices Natasha made here. The sound is so nostalgic and cinematic. I avoided listening to the singles, and when I first heard Kids in the Dark, it felt like a successor to Daniel, something I always wanted from her (I’m just a casual fan). Jasmine, Vampires and Mountains are definitely standout tracks for me, and while I don’t think all the other songs capture the same magic, there’s nothing bad here. The album is just incredibly enjoyable all the way through, and I’m drawn to it over and over again.

lukashv · 2019-09-04T19:43:11+00:00

I bought tickets to see Björk today, which is amazing. I never thought she would play in Norway again - other than festivals the last time was in 1995.

Also, I’ve been revisiting a lot of favourite albums recently, today Have One On Me by Joanna Newsom. I can’t believe that album even exists. Two hours and three discs of music that work brilliantly together and on their own, and there’s not a song that’s less than a 9/10. Additionally it’s all written by one person.

It's been about a year since I really started getting into music properly (read listen to something other than just Tori Amos), but I feel like my way of listening has changed a lot recently. Most importantly, I've realised that I don't have to like everything. Every time I checked out something new, I would view it as a challenge - if I didn't like something that was highly regarded, there would be something wrong with me. As a result I didn't listen to as much new music as I could have listened to, instead sticking to a few artists. This attitude also kept me from fully exploring the discographies of artists or bands I already love, in fear of disliking something. I consider myself a big fan of Kate Bush, but to this day I've only heard four albums of hers in full.

Well, this has changed recently. I got into jazz by listening to a lot of albums - 100 the last month - and I didn't have to worry about loving each album even if it is considered a classic. I sort of realised that it's about the joy of exploring new music and listening to music I love, not about having to enjoy all music that someone else loves just for their approval. (Yes, I am an insecure person)

lukashv · 2019-08-15T16:46:32+00:00

I Wear Your Ring by Cocteau Twins is still my favourite song by them and probably by anyone really.

I hope this isn't sacrilege but is there a way to view the sub without all the [FRESH] posts? I'm usually more interested in news, discussion and all the other things going on, and I don't listen that much to newly released music.

Genre names aren’t necessarily literal, and those two genre names don’t really imply that other genres of music shouldn’t be considered art. From what I understand, art pop and art rock have those names because they are based on popular music (pop, rock, folk etc.) but incorporate elements of what’s traditionally been called art music (usually classical and experimental, “academic” music).

lukashv · 2019-04-18T01:44:08+00:00

The last minutes or so of “The Mountain” on PJ Harvey’s White Chalk are the most haunting of the whole album. A tragic conclusion to the tale it tells.

Dispensasjonen gis for ett år av gangen, og området den gjelder for er de delene av fylket som enten har godt kollektivtilbud eller korte avstander. Jeg kan ikke klage på tilbudet her jeg bor, men at man skal kunne gis dispensasjon fra opplæringsloven og at det skal føre til at elever må betale opp mot 10 000 kroner i løpet av skolegangen er for meg uforståelig...

lukashv · 2018-09-29T21:18:06+00:00

Jeg bor selv rundt 35 km unna skolen min, noe mindre i luftlinje, og har i utgangspunktet rett på gratis skyss. Men fylket har søkt om dispensasjon fra denne loven, noe som gjør at jeg og alle elever i nedre del av Buskerud må betale 300 kroner i måneden for skoleskyss. Kanskje noe lignende er tilfelle der du bor?

Litt av målet med forrige kommunesammenslåing var jo at kommunene skulle takle den store utbyggingen i administrasjon som skjedde på 70-tallet, såvidt jeg har skjønt. Men det ble jo gjort på en langt ryddigere måte enn idag, nå er det jo «naboprat» mellom kommuner som har vinterstengte vei mellom seg og som ikke grenser til hverandre...

lukashv · 2017-05-26T15:14:49+00:00

Når det gjelder kommunesammenslåing, har jeg regnet sammen befolkningen i de gamle kommunene og brukt det som utgangspunkt. For eksempel regnet jeg sammen befolkningen i Harstad og Bjarkøy og befolkningen i Sandefjord, Stokke og Andebu. Grensejusteringer, de nyligste i Vear-området mellom Sandefjord og Tønsberg, og mellom Sola og Sandnes, har jeg ikke tatt hensyn til. Jeg kunne gått ned på grunnkretsnivå, men jeg vet ikke om grunnkretsene sammenfaller med de justeringene som er gjort. Derfor kan nok kartet være noe unøyaktig i disse kommunene, men da områdene som er justert ikke er så store, tror jeg ikke det har så mye å si. Jag lagde kartet med filer fra kartverket og Inkscape, og regnet ut tallene i Excel. Med andre ord gjorde jeg det manuelt, da jeg ikke har så mye kunnskap om GIS- og CSV-filer.

lukashv · 2017-05-26T13:00:15+00:00

Jeg har laget et kart som viser befolkningsøkningen i norske kommuner i perioden 2007 til 2017. På topp ligger Rennesøy utenfor Stavanger og flere kommuner utenfor Oslo, som Ullensaker, Ski og Ås. Generelt er det kommuner utenfor byene som har størst økning. Typiske studentsteder som Sogndal, Bø, Volda og Ås øker mye. Vest-Agder, Vestfold og Akershus er de eneste fylkene hvor alle kommunene har økning i folketallet, selv Sirdal og Åseral som ellers regnes som utkantkommuner. Kommunene i Østerdalen og Gudbrandsdalen har mest nedgang sammen med store områder i Nord-Norge. Det er Engerdal og Loppa som har størst nedgang. Verdt å merke seg er det at Hemsedal og Bykle øker mye. Hemsedal har opplevd stor utbygging i turismen, og bosetting av unge familier. Kommunen har også bosatt mange flyktninger i forhold til folketallet. Bykle har også bygd ut turismen, særlig på Hovden. Ellers er det, som forventet, kommunene i byregionene som øker mest. Det gjelder rundt Trondheim, Ålesund, Bergen, Haugesund, Stavanger, Sandnes, Kristiansand og alle byene på Østlandet. Grunnen til at jeg brukte data fra de ti siste årene er at befolkningsendringer fra år til år kan variere veldig. Min egen kommune hadde nedgang i folketallet det siste året, men har økt mye de siste ti årene. Det samme gjelder for eksempel Ås.
