Announcement alarm. 15th of february Universal Norway will release a compilation on CD of the 4 singles we gave out last year. It also comes with a bonus CD made up of our favorite remixes, remakes and translations done by others and for others. All the songs have been remastered by our friend Andreas Tilliander, and the design was done by Blank Blank. So, Norway only for a start, more news on releases elsewhere coming up soon soon! So, you other countries can still download most of these songs under the release section.

A dear favorite and a big influence of mine is russian surrealist writer Daniil Kharms. Attached here is a little piece called “Kind Feelings”. More stories here

KIND FEELINGS
by Daniil Kharms

When I see a human being, I feel like hitting him in the face.
It is so pleasant to hit a person in the face!
I sit at home in my room doing nothing.
Somebody drops in to see me. He knocks on the door. I say, “come in.” He comes in and says, “Hello. How nice that I caught you at home.”
I bang him in the face and then kick him in the crotch. My guest falls down in terrible pain. I kick him in the eye with the heel of my shoe. People
shouldn’t loiter around when nobody asked them to come in.

Or another way. I offer the guest a cup of tea. The guest accepts, sits down at the table, drinks the tea, and talks about something. I act as if I am listening
to him with great interest, nod my head, ooh and aah, raise my eyes in surprise, and laugh. The guest, flattered by the attention I am paying to him, lets himself
go more and more.
I calmly fill his cup with boiling water and splash the water in the guest’s face. The guest jumps up and holds his face. I say to him: “I don’t have any more kind feelings
in my heart. Get out!”
I throw out my guest.

Nynning

December 23, 2009

Ive been asking around to try and find a proper English translation for the Norwegian verb “nynne”. I am yet to find a good English word for this concept, and
I fear there may not be a word for it at all. The translator I found on Google suggested the English “to hum”. Still, it does not quite cover the whole aspect
of the art of “nynning”. Nynning is basically “to hum with your mouth open”. La-la-la – ing is close, yet it is quite restricted around the sound “La”. Same goes for
“tra-la-la”-ing. No, I think the only way to show you is by giving the microphone to our friend Ben. His nynning is world class, and he’s been nynning since he was a small boy in Stavanger where he nynned his way around town on his bike. Feddi and me found some of these nynns quite addictive and catchy, and we even recorded some of the melodies with our casios at home, and used it in a couple of songs that were later to become Casiokids songs. This is Ben now, nynning a seasonal treat.
Merry Christmas to everyone!


Helene, Kaja & Klara will get guest lists + extra treats at tomorrow’s christmas show at Garage in Bergen. See you!
