Another one bites the Swede

This is straight forward, and for the most part fast forward renditions of Abba - made by bands I've never heard about. But, fun enough I guess - would have reached a larger audience if it had been released in the early 80s... And you can find it here.

The Human Tuplolev

This video [download it as a 9 meg wmv file or as a 22 meg mpg file here] shows Russia's latest attempt to peek-a-boo Scandinavians. After a Norwegian F-16 with a modified drop tank sprayed a Tupolev TU95 in flight, the Russians have come up with a nasty piece of audiochemical warfare dropped from above. The skydivers include Alexander Beloglazoff, world-record holder for longest freefall involving an augmented seventh chord. The music is In-Grid's song Tu Es Foutu, as though you didn't already know that, you Cheesy Euro-Disco slut, you.

Friendly Persuation with Otis Fodder

When it comes to "The Cool" and "The Strange" Otis Fodder is a connoisseur extraordinaire. Having extensive knowledge of vast numbers of genres and the ability to mix'em'up to aural delights makes him somewhat of a genius! As a contributor to the now out-of-print "Cool & Strange Music Magazine" he proved time again his insight in numerous reviews of the musical fringe. The projects he's been involved in are too many to go into detail here, visit his website.

Listen to 30 episodes of the (now dead) Friendly Persuasion Radio show that appeared on Luxuria Music in 2005. All shows are one hour long, no talk, just the mix.

Otis Fodder produced 29 in the year and one (on August 2) was produced by the very talented Fortyone. Special guest IDs and theme songs were contributed by

a complete fanatic

You have to watch this video. It shows Tom Cruise, with all the wide-eyed fervor that he brings to the promotion of a movie, making the argument for Scientology, the bizarre 20th-century religion. Making the argument is an understatement. The Hollywood actor, star of movies such as Mission Impossible, is a complete fanatic. "When you're a Scientologist, and you drive by an accident, you know you have to do something about it, because you know you're the only one who can really help... We are the way to happiness. We can bring peace and unite cultures." There's much much more. Let me put it this way: if Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah's couch was an 8 on the scale of scary, this is a 10.

This video's been passed around privately by reporters and writers investigating Cruise's ties with Scientology. Most reporters have been wary of taking on the Scientologists, because they have a history of both litigation, and the harassment of critics. The publication of Andrew Morton's biography of Tom Cruise, which claims he is the second most powerful person in the cult, has seems to have opened the floodgates.

Several indoctrination videos were available on Google Video, on Sunday, and showcased on Gawker, before being removed by the person who had originally posted them. Yesterday, for a few hours, the clip of Tom Cruise discussing his beliefs as a Scientologist appeared on Youtube, and was republished by Radar and Defamer. That video is no longer available, most likely after the Church of Scientology sent in a copyright infringement notice. Gawker is now hosting a copy of the video; it's newsworthy; and we will not be removing it.

Is it cheddar? Is it Brie? No, it is EUROCHEESE!

The Eurovision Song Contest, used to be (and still is) a wonderful mix of questionable talent combined with curious costumes and challenged choreography.

The German Dschengis Khan made a thorough imprint in the Eurovision annals, when they delivered their catchy tune of the same name in 1979. Anyway, Thanks to Jensen Brazil you can have this nice lump of nice and ripe Eurochese to tantalize your ears.

"The Last Joint Venture (Den Siste Revejakta)"

Paranoid is when you imagine someone is following you, but if you're certain, that's different, isn't it?

1979 is ending the 80’s are approaching – rapidly.
Carl and Robert – two slacker best friends who smoke hashish as a way of cheerful living - have been peddling hashish for a decade, hitting an all time high with this last batch: 45 Kilos of pure, high grade Nepalese Hashish destined for the draught-dry Oslo streets. In their own eyes they are not criminals – they simply provide the life-essential drug to a suffering population. But then Glenn comes along, their friend and ambitious financial - backer - destined - to - be - a - yuppie.

He has plans to make this deal even bigger than they have been led to believe.

Following the delivery of the hashish, the police are on their tail for heroin-smuggling – a fact they cannot explain as they both hate heroin and would never touch the drug. Finally they both awake from their self-induced haze, and fight back in a hilarious, suspenseful and dramatic ending.

The script, based on Ingvar Ambjørnsen’s cult slacker novel, is a dark comedy story with a crooked view on the époque where the dreamy 70s met the hard 80s.

If you're one of those people really looking forward to this film, and have read the book... Well, then this record by David Peel will probably appeal to you! Thanks again to Zero G Sound!

Complaints received from NASHI

"Hello, miss Dimmu.

Regarding your post Norwegian F-16 Sprays Russian Tupolev (link).

Nashi have received information about this so called incident, and we would like you to produce real evidence of the pink-dyed plane - if you cannot do so, we will regard your post as bad humor.

The photos in your post looks like a bad Photoshop™ job. It looks fake, and we've found similar photos WITHOUT the pink pigment.

Why are you trying to deface our proud airforce, our country and our GREAT LEADER, prime minister - Владимир Владимирович Путин? You should be ashamed! Who liberated your weakly nation from Nazi occupation, may I ask?

Stop your slandering, and your ill humored spoofs!

Nashi representative. XXXXXXXX"

Norwegians want more airshows

After the paint job incident on the 24th, Norwegians cry out for more airshows.
"We want more", says spokesperson Bjarne Gulliksen, director of the Vintage Aircraft Club. "We seldom see such bold attempts to get large heaps of junk airborne" [...] "The Bear had it's maiden voyage in 1952, and the Russian Air force is keeping it operative until 2040" [...] "The Bear is now regarded as a greater threat than earlier, caused by fatigue of the engines and fuselage." [...] "You could probably assemble your own Bear, from all the parts that are scattered along the Norwegian coastline", says Gulliksen. Norwegian authorities welcome this strange display of air dominance, as Norwegians on the whole are great enthusiasts of historic relics. "We are lucky", says Gulliksen, and continues; "but we feel somewhat ridiculed, by the fact that our air defence is not given a more up to date challenge..." [...] "I mean, why do they show us dentures when they ought to display fangs... "

The paintjob story is well documented by now, but some forums are still discussing its validity;
Sukoy RU (Russia) - The Simple Machine Forum (Poland) - The Flying Squadron (USA) - The Aces High Forum (UK?) -
