Yes, I envy having the chance to go to concerts with big-ish artists. That would have been the big plus for me about living in Oslo.

But I will never move there. I visited Bergen last week, so much more charming place than Oslo.

[Jon Aanensen]

I pay 6000 NOK pr month for a 45 sqm flat.

[Jon Aanensen]

You haven’t considered moving out of the city?

[Jon Aanensen]

How much is the monthly rent in your posh Ullevaal place?

Another Charles Fox story: In the early 90s me and some mates saw the 1990 Leslie Nielsen comedy film REPOSSESSED. The score was by Charles Fox. In the first floor, my friend’s grandfather lived, his name was Charles. After that day we only called him “Fox”.

[Jon Aanensen]

No, I admit I play them way too seldom. But I like having the chance to do it.

[Jon Aanensen]

At least we have FLETCH on cd now with around 15 minutes of score.

FATAL BEAUTY is sadly totally unreleased.

[Jon Aanensen]

Oh, I forgot this:

Sony walkman 😎

[Jon Aanensen]

I use the soundbar for the tv and dvd-player, not CD/LP.

[Jon Aanensen]

Denon CD-player

Pioneer DVD-player

🙈

[Jon Aanensen]

You never know…

[Jon Aanensen]

Imdb does not list composers for ARVEN and DAL.

[Jon Aanensen]

Have you heard the Garbareks?

[Jon Aanensen]

It has got nothing to do with my “religious feelings”. I just reacted on an utterly stupid comment.

[Jon Aanensen]

RIP norwegian director Anja Breien.

She worked four times with Jan Garbarek on different projects, and once with Arne Nordheim.

I would be interested in hearing Garbarek’s score to SMYKKETYVEN from 1990.

[Jon Aanensen]

May they burn in hell.

Geez… 👎👎👎

[Jon Aanensen]

Yes, Counting is an enjoyable track. Co-produced with Zimmer’s old nemesis Jay Rifkin, and co-composed with Nick Glennie-Smith.

[Jon Aanensen]

I remember feeling that the UNLAWFUL ENTRY theme had a certain Tubular Bells-vibe.

[Jon Aanensen]

14. Jay Ferguson
15. Yves Laferriere

[Jon Aanensen]

What I meant was that I cancelled my cassette order because I later saw that the label had released the score in digital format.

LOL, ok 😅

[Jon Aanensen]

The cassette version is cancelled.

[Jon Aanensen]

I use a random number generator to decide which film on my TV recorder I am going to watch. I have 400 hours of film there, max capacity is 500 hours. Of course I am never going to see them all, taking into consideration how few films I see. I guess I must start deleting soon..

[Jon Aanensen]

NO MAN’S LAND

[Jon Aanensen]

If Hammer scores the new one he will manage it before his 80th birthday in 2028! 😅

[Jon Aanensen]

That Madonna song?

Yes, or rather Theme from AT CLOSE RANGE.

[Jon Aanensen]

FIRE WITH FIRE is the film Pat Leonard originally wrote Live To Tell for.

[Jon Aanensen]

Well, I am not a fan of his music.

And many song-based films about pop stars have bits of score in certain key scenes.

[Jon Aanensen]

Yes, I meant if the film had benefitted from an instrumental score.
