FlexiFront: dersom djevelen barberar seg
Ein kveld eg var i retteleg godt humør hausten 2006 svara eg mot betre vitande når hustelefonen fasttelefonen min ringde. Det plar eg aldri gjere ettersom all erfaring tilseier at det er seljarar som ringjer. Men denne kvelden braut eg altså med leveregelen min grunna uvanleg ljos sinnsstemning. I den andre enden var det ein…

Rein på Labakken
Då eg var liten var det sjeldan å sjå rein i Fitjefjella i det heile. Ivrige fjellvandrande grannar kunne rapportere å ha sett reinstammen borte på Vona i Naustdal eller kanskje så nære som i Steinbotnen, i Hyemarka eller på Granekupa. Nede i tuna på Fitje var dei aldri som eg kan hugse. No går…

Simultaneously Avinet colleague and Vreid lead singer, Sture, was kicking off a mini-tour to launch their new CD “I Krig”. To my deep regret I had never heard Vreid play live before, despite…
