Excel! 1: Säkkijärven Polkka

Beauty comes in many forms. Watch this master of the accordion.
I was reminded of this hilarious clip last night, when I passed an old street musician with a big lump in his neck. I heard a couple of tunes from Säkkijärven Polkka and biked closer. But as I stood behind him, fascinated by his lump, I realized he had just put together short sequences that sounded a little bit like Säkkijärven Polkka here and there. I guess that’s the way a lot of popular street music evolve between all those poor street musicians. You end up with a tune that has been xeroxed a thousand times and only bears a slight resemblance to the original, which I just had to listen to as soon as I came home!

The blast from D7 has passed - pewh! - and the blog continues with random posts of sexy teenage boys or just pretty cool, funny and cute boys like in this music video with a Russian boy band anno 1990’s. Nick Carter eat your heart out.
The Man Who Loved Yngve

Mannen som elsket Yngve (The Man Who Loved Yngve) by the young Norwegian author Tore Renberg is one of my absolute favorite novels. It’s a very convincing and moving love story set in Norway in the eighties.
The novel has now become a film. I haven’t seen it yet, but this clip (in Norwegian with English subtitles) captures the feeling of the book really well. I find it totally heartbreaking.
