Lovely festive video Morten. You mention in the description that you've had a tough year in many ways. Wishing you all the best during 2025! (Your cartoons are simply brilliant!)

Nice review and overview of Aurora's career. You can certainly hear the influence of Bjork in her singing. Thanks for bringing her to my attention. Cheers Mike 👍

Rolling Stones could put out 100s of live albums you would think, most of their shows must have been taped. Happy New Year Morten

Hi Morten!!! Cool idea to say good bye (2024)/welcome (2025) listening to the Stones great tradition... Also agree with you they should play more deep tracks and just a couple of the huge hits. i have a dvd boxset in which they play a lot of lesser known songs from smaller venues, can't remember the name and it's really good!!! cheers and be well

Thanks for introducing this artist’s albums. I like her album covers, and I can identify with hugging trees. I’m not sure her music is what I would rush out to buy but I liked what I heard.

I only know Aurora from what I´ve heard on danish P3 radio and yes, she is quite ´besnærende´ .. Well writen and produced music and she does have a lovely voice. I will go check out more, so thx for bringing her to our attention. On a side-note. Seing you wear your Stoke shirt again, I want to express my hope that they survive in the Championship. As a casual Leeds Utd. fan I thought of you yesterday when I watched the 0-2 match. All the best, Carsten.

I appreciate some background info on Aurora, was she the girl in the movie Chappie (2015) movie ? Been curious about her music, I see a lot of her music , the song sample sound amazing!!

I got it today 🎉🎉🎉

Hi Morten!!! Nothing to chear up the spirit like going to a record shop and do some crate diggin'.... Yeah, nice to you added some cool records, like Tracy Chapman's biggest record and cool to see it came with extra lyrics!!! you don't see that very often..... I also remember listening to Tanita Tikaram, she had a really nice and smooth voice..... Front 242?? not bad at all. cheers and be well

Hi morton i need to get foot of the mountain sounds brilliant what you played. Aha are a great band and scondrel days is my favourite i played alot . Take care joe

I've always preferred a room with a bath but I've not yet tried requesting one. Good idea! Nice pickups Morten, I used to enjoy hearing the Cardigans on the radio.

I agree, Scoundrel Days my favorite album of theirs too. My fav song is Hunting high and low from the debut album.. Pål is one of those Massively under-rated song writers it´s almost criminal :D ..and Mortens Amazing voice omg. Great band indeed.. Great video Morten :)

Love that Tracy Chapman album! I have that on vinyl but the cover is beat up. I have the debut album by Tanita Tikaram as well! Great album!!! Great video my friend! Always good to watch your music findings!

Wonderful ! What a wonderful colection ❤❤❤❤❤

Thank u so much 👍😊❤️👍👍👍

Fantastic collection, severely underrated band here in Canada indeed, cheers

I have the same kind of lyric insert on a Suzanne Vega album. I can say for certain that the only live concert i have ever seen recorded in Norway was by Tanita Tikaram. It was from her tour for The Sweet Keeper. It was recorded at some kind of outdoor venue which reminded me of rock quarry. Very interesting looking place to have a concert. There is actually a similar kind of place near where my relatives live and there's been some theatre productions shown which i've never been to. Pasi

I don't exactly remember when i decided, but i decided to stop buying Rolling Stones live albums after 2006 tour. I now have a live album from every tour between 1966-2006. I have more than one from a couple of tours during that time, i think that's enough. Didn't buy Hackney Diamonds either, i'm sure i would've liked it, but i felt that the Stones ended with Charlie. I was never a fan of beer, i did drink a little bit in the very early days, but stopped ages ago. Pasi

Hi Morten!!! so glad to see you to treated yourself with some cool records and a awesome room with an great view too..... when was visiting scandinavia u couldn't make to Gothenburg, to many places to visit but little time. Who knows maybe next time?? Nice of your friends to give you all those gifts and some extra help..... cheers and be well

The record stores are always "threat or opportunity" situations... specially if you are not looking anything specific.

10.000 different beers? Huh. I buy a beer only after maratons. So it is like two beers per year. Normally drink only non alcohol beers. It is going to be fourth year without drinking. I am no absolutist, could take glass of wine...but when it is not habit, wine dont taste good anymore.

Thanks for the shoutouts Morten. I hope the album is selling better in your part of the world. Not selling in the US much. Can't help but wonder if the "sub-par" artwork (in my opinion) contributes to this lack of sales. Because Shepherd's Bush and Wiltern are great shows. I especially like the video. Many are complaining about Shepherd's Bush being split-screen, but I loved it. I hope you do too. I know you look forward, like me, to the deeper cuts versus the typical classic tracks over and over again. I give you props for also buying the vinyl, I didn't..lol. Anyway, hope you enjoy Shepherd's Bush. I like your Rolling Stones New Years listening tradition. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. And I hope 2025 turns out to be a good year for you with or without beer.

Nice to see some footage from Draken. I stayed there a couple of month ago, fantastic view. Cool to pick up the first Håkan album when in Gothenburg, great album! God Jul Morten!

Nothing like a crate dig to dispel the winter blues. I got that Tracy Chapman as part of a collection. Mint copy for $2, couldn’t believe it. Just starting to bring the early Waterboys into the collection. Really enjoying them. Cheers.

Merry Christmas Morten. Thanks for the tour, nice hotel views. Wow, you get records from friends and family, I sure don’t get any! Enjoy your holiday my friend

Hey Morten! Hope you're feeling better. Love the first 4 Waterboys, after that it is very up and down for me. I think 'Modern Blues' is the best since. Cheers!

Hi Morten. There's nothing like a bit of therapeutic crate digging when you're not feeling at your best. I hope you're in a much better place now than you were in early November. I think everyone needs Tracey Chapman's debut in their collection. While I'm typing this Amazon have just delivered a Norwegian album recommended by a good VC friend of mine in Oslo. What could it be? 🤔 You'll have to wait a few days to find out. All the very best mate for the festive season and beyond. 🌲🌲🌲

Hi Morten. That Tracey Chapman record has rocketed up in price in the UK in recent times. It used to be a charity shop staple but now you'd be lucky to find one for £20. The last copy I saw in Oxfam was about twice that! I failed to pick it up back in the day so I guess that's that. I blow hot and cold on The Waterboys, find Mike Scott's voice a bit full-on sometimes. Have a good Crimbo!

I hope some windswept and rainy days in Skagen will help you feel better (maybe you're already feeling better now in December?).

Hi Morten- no surprise that we turn to our records when feeling a bit down - hope you’re on the upside now - great Tracy Chapman album but don’t put track 4 on it feeling a bit blue ! 😂 ☝️👍🫡🇬🇧🎄🎄🎄🎄

Hey Morten, sorry to hear you weren’t feeling the best, but nothing wrong with a bit of music therapy. You said that it was the 9th of November, so hope you are doing better in December 🙂 I’ve never heard that TF & Jad Fair album before. I’ve got a few matte European Tracy Chapman’s and sold loads, but never saw that lyric book in different languages. Very cool! That Stands cd is very underrated. It definitely wears its influences on its sleeve, but didn’t deserve some of the terrible reviews it got. Very The Band and very Bob Dylan. I’ve never heard any of their later stuff. Take care my friend!

Great video. Just received my Warchild box set today. (Yeah, I'm a little bit behind). Purchased it from Amazon. Glad it was reprinted, because I originally couldn't afford it.

Some fantastic albums there, mate ... Really enjoyed Gravity Stairs. However, the signed cd card I got is nowhere near as cool as the one you got with the record... 😉

Good list. Gonna have to catch up as well.

Hello Morten. My name is Paul Robertson. I'm a singer songwriter from Bunbury in Western Australia. I was wondering if you could have a listen to my album Restoration. I'm unsigned and not on any label. My dream is to be on an independent label. Anyway if you get a chance to listen to it. Please do. I'd really appreciate it. Thankyou Paul Robertson

As you’ve probably worked out, I’m playing catch up. There maybe some radio silence for a bit as I’ll be away for a bit after Chrimbo. We are the Yin & Yang of the VC. My videos are full of negativity 😂 I think people have lost the ability to understand constructive criticism anymore. Your review of Bernard Butler was honest & not negative at all to me. Just telling it how you felt & you have credibility because you’re a big Suede fan so your critique comes from a bit of prior knowledge 👍 Hessie was what gave Crowded House their spark. As you know it’s the Enz all over the way for me. I gotta be honest even though it’s been reviewed favourably I still haven’t checked out PJ. The Lemon Twigs are brilliant. If you ever get the chance to see them live don’t hesitate. They fantastic live. Like with Crowded House drummers are important to me & Sleater Kinney just don’t do it for me since they hey parted ways with Janet. I have all of their albums & have seen them many times. Again the juice is gone imho. It’s like contemplating the Stones without Charlie. Can’t do it. I love Super Furry but have yet to check out Rhys’s stuff. Cure newie 👍 Unfortunately we have to accept that Maiden & all those others we love are getting old and with age even rockstars suffer the same ailments as mere mortals & even death from years of hard living. It’s sad but inevitable. Sorry to end on a negative note. Cheers…Ben

Bye Oslo! I don’t know if the filming made it look that way but that looked like a large record store. Lovely present from the hotel. Love an upgrade. Magic view. 30th floor is cool but from experience when I was on the 38th floor in Yokohama when there was an earthquake, that was not so magic 😂 Sweden has had some great stoner/sludge stuff come out over the last few years. Cool artwork too. Cardigans is a fun album. I have heaps of music in different languages (Sigur Ros even made up their own language) & I love foreign language films with subtitles too. I need to get another copy of the Cure’s new album. I stupidly bought the bio vinyl one & it sounds shit. Great songs though. There’s a double vinyl version which is meant to sound good which I hope to get soon. Wish was their last great record imho opinion before the latest one. Hope you’re well & have a great time however you celebrate this time of year mate 👍 Cheers…Ben

A very Merry Christmas to you, Morten! I love the cartoon and this was a nice little video. I hope next year is an improvement for you from this one. I appreciate the positivity that you spread in the Vinyl Community. Cheers!

So great you got to treat yourself to a wonderful room with a little help from your friends Morten. Nice record haul, they look so nice and shiny. God Yule my friend, enjoy your Christmas break in beautiful Denmark.

Hey Morten! Ah, the Motherland. I just checked rate of US $ vs. Swedish Krona, it is 11 to 1, was 7 to when I was there. That is painful! Very nice of your friends! God Jul my friend!

Think the one with Sleater-Kinney that you also sending me is from 2023. Nice to see Bruce Dickinson in the end of the video.

Nice view at the hotel. God tur til Jylland. The Cardigans is a good listen no matter what.

Tears for Fears is my Favourite Cd I own 👌👌👌👌

Nice views indeed. Need to check that Vermillion Sky album. Never been in Gothenburg. Once in Malmö when visiting headquerters of CDON and HomeEnter.

Cool experience Mort. Hope u enjoy your xmas time. Safe travels

Will it be again next year?
