    One of their members (I'm not going to say who) used to work at my fave bar in my usual holiday resort town of Kragerø (where she came from), and she was also the ex-girlfriend of a former buddy of mine from there (haven't spoken to him in years). I remember her well from when she wasn't a - uh - star. Katzenjammer are actually quite famous in Norway these days, and a highly popular live act.

    I'm a bit in two minds about them, but yeah - they can play. As for Norway being a place of magic in modern music, most of what you've heard is true. There's an abundance of creativity continuously popping up here, and it's great to live in Oslo and see it all happen on a week-to-week basis.

    You are correct on the name, but I was referring to the selective breeding part of the program. What the Nazis did was hideous, but it is history, embarrassment or not. My intention was not to offend and I apologize if it did. I find it fascinating that Norway has this abundance of fantastic musicians and I was trying to be humorous. Sorry about that.
