Finally "complete"

Now also the Temporary chapter for W has been uploaded. This means the alphabet is complete for the first time. Now I'll try to get the contents as complete as possible...

W temporary chapter

And 3 more!

Three more temporary chapters. The S goes a long way documenting why I'm reluctant to start properly with that one...


R temporary version

S temporary version

T temporary version

Only W is missing now, working hard on that one, but I'm afraid I will have to do a temporary version first! And then there's the chapter on compilations, but I've given that a low prio for now.

Three new chapters!

Tempus fugit... And changes are coming, so I had to rush out a couple of chapters before I change jobs and we're in for a possible hiatus in writing.

Please find the following uploaded:

• Q, text only, including appendix
• V, text only, including appendix
• Z, text only, including appendix

Due to time restrictions there are no cover pictures yet, and the V-appendix is only up to 80 to 85%. But that's good enough for now. Let me use the little time I have, trying to make W as complete as possible... Keep your fingers crossed!

And enjoy!

And we're back!

Hello world, it's been a while. Busy with various projects which took up most of my time. Of course I've been working on the book as well (on and off) and the long promised and way overdue Q and Z chapters are basically finished - just waiting for me to scan record covers and put them in the files.

I've been dissatisfied with Rapidshare for a while and I also got feedback that people had trouble downloading them. Coincidentally I discovered Calameo which offers the possibility to publish online (so you can read and browse the files online) and if you have a free account at Calameo you can also download the files. Please find the downloadlinks for all files below. The Rapidshare links have expired or will probably expire soon.

Vinyl rules!

Platekompaniet in the Byporten shopping center has been redecorated and went from a few LPs back the counter to this... Yeah, vinyl rules

New sub-site established

Hei,

I thought I'd start the New Year by clearing a bit of shelf-space and established a place to facilitate this new year's resolution.

Please visit the brand-new Jurassic-Sale site where you will find CDs, LPs, 7", demos, MCs and more that I offer for trade and sale (both are welcome, and since I'm not planning to become rich with these we'll certainly get to an agreement).

I've also moved my (ever dynamic) list of wants to this location.

Looking forward hearing from you!

2012 review

A quick look back on the musical year. Below a list that could be my Top 10 over 2012... In no particular order.


Änglagård - Viljans Öga
Rick Wakeman - Journey to the centre of the earth (2012 Studio Recording)
Ian Anderson - TAAB2
Elephant 9 - Atlantis
Ihsahn - Eremita
It Bites - Map Of The Past
Motorpsycho & Ståle Storløkken - The Death Defying Unicorn
Orgel Vreten - The Merciless Hammond Battle
Rush - Clockwork Angels
The Samuel Jackson Five - The Samuel Jackson Five

Bubbling under we find o.a. Dead Can Dance, Storm Corrosion, Squackett, Om and Muse, the second side of the DeWolff LP and the first CD of Arjen Lucassen's double set.

Okay, good actually, but not qualified for the Top list: Headspace, Neal Morse, Saga, Flying Colors and Coheed And Cambria.

Some comments:

2012 apparently was an orchestral year. Jon Lord made a fine new version of his Concerto, Emerson returns to the scene with his fine Three Fates Project (both Lord and Three Fates are in the bubbling under section too), Rush even worked with an orchestra on Clockwork Angels and Wakeman topped them all with the renewed version of Journey that finally sounds like it should have done in 1974.

(English) neo prog leaves me rather cold lately. It Bites brought a very fine album, but others like Galahad and Big Big Train aren't on my shopping list, despite raving reviews. I guess I'll pick them up eventually when I come across them cheap and second hand, and then I'll may regret not buying them earlier, but hey... priorities...

I'm looking forward to reading the novels based on Clockwork Angels. This year I read the Terra Nova trilogy by Kevin Anderson and was highly impressed (it was IMHO much better than the two CDs based on these books).

Hmm... again 40% of my Top 10 list is Norwegian. Slight chauvinism by an immigrant?
