LOL We usually don't eat cerals for breakfast in Norway. More like slices of bread. :)

Who is your favourite 19th century German classical composer?

La descente infernale (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 23 March 2011 12:55 (thirteen years ago) link

Good name for your putative record label: Strictly Tonal.

Who is your favourite 19th century German classical composer?

Either Schubert or Brahms. Would be Brahms if you count Schubert as an Austrian.

Yes.

Several places, most of which were big cities and great but not particularly "relaxing". :)

You're Twistin' My Melody Man! (Geir Hongro), Wednesday, 23 March 2011 15:50 (thirteen years ago) link

(using other superlatives than "relaxing", I loved Rome, I loved Venice, I loved Barcelona, and - in spite of the weather - I always love London and Copenhagen. Hard to pick, really)

do you like the sound of birdsong or other natural 'non-musical' sounds?

Ever fancied visiting Scotland, Geir? If so, what would you most like to see?

How big is your 'record collection'? The exact size in inches.

glumdalclitch, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 16:32 (thirteen years ago) link

Geir, have you heard Ron Sexsmith? I get the impression he may be better known in Europe than here in America. I saw him the other night and thought his voice and songwriting (somewhere between McCartney and Costello) would be right up your alley.

I am a city guy, and I am sure Glasgow, Dundee or Edinburgh would all be nice. In spite of the weather. :)

You're Twistin' My Melody Man! (Geir Hongro), Wednesday, 23 March 2011 23:09 (thirteen years ago) link

Actually not too familiar with Ron Sexsmith other than the name. The cut above there sounds OK, but something about it sounds a lot more obviously American than McCartney/MacManus.

You're Twistin' My Melody Man! (Geir Hongro), Wednesday, 23 March 2011 23:10 (thirteen years ago) link

do you like the sound of birdsong or other natural 'non-musical' sounds?

I love birdsong this time of year because it means spring or summer. Otherwise not thinking so much of it. :)

when did Elton John get off the bus?

No idea, but his last touch of greatness was the "Too Low For Zero" album in 1983.

Ron Sexsmith is Canadian. And right up Geir's alley.

Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 24 March 2011 00:24 (thirteen years ago) link

Yeah, Ron's definitely "melodic" above all else.

Geir Do you think this band would interest you?

Swedish band Ginger Trees is influenced by Porcupine Tree to Uriah Heep, Kula Shaker and Pink Floyd. Great melodies, especially in the vocals

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 11 October 2011 00:53 (twelve years ago) link

Geir, why don't you like the more avant-garde end of prog like King Crimson, Van der Graaf Generator and Henry Cow?
