    Swingin Cheese – “Croon Tunes and Kitscherama” (1997)

    November 25, 2009 by Rune Johnsrud - posted in Records, Releases.

    swingin_cheese-croon_tunes_and_kitschermaIf you ever need a collection of high quality easy listening tunes, and yes, they do exist, this album from Irma Records is fine choice indeed. It covers the period from 1966 – 1972 and the track selections are really good, avoiding the drab elevator music arrangements in favour of solid performances and danceable grooves, making it perfect lounge fare for your ears and feet. Unfortunately it seems to be out of print, so you’ll have to track it down on your own which is probably not that hard.

    Side Brok – “Ekte Menn”

    November 2, 2009 by Rune Johnsrud - posted in Records, Releases, Tracks.

    side_brok-ekte_mennThe state of Norwegian hip-hop is, to put it mildly, pretty pathetic with a few honorable exceptions, Side Brok being one of them. Their unique original blend of funk music and lyrics filled with sly ironic remarks about daily life and biting social commentary is really worth checking out even if you don’t understand a word of what they are saying. Their latest album “Ekte Menn” (follow the link for sound samples) contains five outstanding tracks: “Mann Med Manera”, “Skjemde”, “Nattmat”, “Heile Handa” and “Ej Ser”, so please check it out!
