Norma Halden is a small city in the southeastern corner of Norway, right on the Swedish border. It has a river, a fortress, and apparently, one of the most quietly infectious country bands in Scandinavia. The first time you hear Norma, you might think you’ve stumbled onto something from the American Midwest — the easy sway […]

Take guilt. Take your great-grandfather's hate and taste it. It's hard to swallow. 

Junior Brother - 'Take Guilt' for @theinfluences.bsky.social

This song is part of a trilogy of videos we filmed together for The Influences, all building toward the release of Junior Brother's album "The End".

Originally recorded by Bob Dylan + band on Valentine's Day in 1966 at CBS Nashville, here's a live version of "Visions of Johanna" recorded by me + my band in Nashville some 60 years later.

17 years ago, Secret Love Parade (feat. @oakiam.bsky.social ) covered 'Roscoe' by @midlakeband for @theinfluences. Back when I was still figuring out how to film. (I still am, sort of) Pretty special to film a session (and their concert) with Midlake yesterday. So, a good time for a throwback.

Bertolf & Nomden Bertolf Lentink and Diederik Nomden met at a Paul McCartney concert in 2003. Since then, they recorded Bertolf’s first demo’s, Nomden played in Bertolf’s band and together they toured with Her Majesty and Henny Vrienten. And those are only some of the highlights. The past few years, the time was right to write for an […]

Bertolf Lentink & Diederik Nomden recorded a session, outdoors in Ermelo. 6 songs, joined by the birds. Watch them play 4 originals and covers of Stealer's Wheel and Paul McCartney.

Fixed it! Not sure how. Tried a range of possible solutions late last night and this afternoon it's working again. 🙌🏼

Mooi!

I have deactivated all plugins to see if it solved it, but it didn't. Will open the wp-config today, and see what comes up, thank you.

Any #Wordpress experts here?

Yes. Watch this.

And what a great deep cut Griffin track to cover.

D66 is niet eens ouwe wijn in nieuwe zakken, het is alleen nog maar de zak.

Loved filming Emily last November! (Turns out she watched JPW's session from a year earlier before asking him to sing on this album!)

Ook wel typisch dat zij denken vooruit te lopen in de luie promovideo maar het beeld voor de kijker letterlijk de hele tijd achteruit gaat.

Weet iemand in welke staat de ziel van @robjetten.bsky.social was toen 'ie 'm verkocht?

“At 12 I saw Metallica in concert and it absolutely blew my mind. Hearing them play Bleeding Me, one of the songs I’ve chosen for The Influences, was a near religious experience. I’ve always loved this song. It’s quite dreamy and cinematic for a metal band, and then gets heavy as hell for parts."

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
