"I've never heard such an evil laugh from my wife as when she read the words "pop star."" - Terje Fjelde

"Thank you, mr. Holmes. It's such a coincidence -- I was just working on this song called "Chris"!" - Terje Fjelde

"1. I'll Be Home for Christmas - Tony Bennett feat. The Count Basie Big Band -- ah, yes. Good, swinging start.  (2008) 2. Winter Wonderland - Air Supply -- er, sub-par Air Supply, I'm afraid. (1987) 3. C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S -  Rosemary Clooney with Norman Leyden -- arcane, anemic and altogether pretty awful '50s pop from "White Christmas." (1950) 4. Silent Night - The Carpenters -- fond memories from the 1970s for me. One of those records my American aunt brought over from America for Christmas in the late 1970s, when Norway was poor, brown and grey and America a utopic dream. (1978) 5. This Christmas - Yutaka -- horrid GRP pop with vocals, DX7 bells and a Japanese twist -- there is lots of koto! (1988)" - Terje Fjelde

"Weiland sounds just like how I imagine Andy Williams will sound in about 15 years or so." - Terje Fjelde

"Where is David Foster when you need him? If this was a Foster production Zooey would be a triangle. He's the ultimate dork killer." - Terje Fjelde

"I like the sound of that. Carole King's "A Christmas Crapestry"" - Terje Fjelde

"So, Tapestry was just a fluke." - Terje Fjelde

"I misread the first line as "Ah, another glorious Mellowmas mom," which, reading further, brought a whole new dimension to Jason's hatred." - Terje Fjelde

"Is it a wooden bannister?" - Terje Fjelde

"I don't know what it was, but it smells like Jason Scheff. Maybe I shouldn't say this, but at the moment I'm looking at the "before" pic imagining Scheff's weight loss in terms of brown bannisters." - Terje Fjelde

"Don't listen to this song if you're on edge because you haven't eaten all day." - Terje Fjelde

"A moose left a brown bannister on my front porch this morning." - Terje Fjelde

"Norway just went out of butter. I think it has something to do with Arne Benoni." - Terje Fjelde

"Oh, fuck it, Disqus. Here's my explanation. And my defense: http://terje.tumblr.com/post/1..." - Terje Fjelde

"Okay, that didn't work... hang on..." - Terje Fjelde

"I'll try to explain Arne Benoni: Norwegian country: The rabbit hole you never thought you’d fall down. That is also my defense. Spot the parodies (2)? Also, this comment from  lynnandersonfan may go some way to explain Lynn Anderson. Or the Norwish infatuation with country. Or both. Or neither. Anyway, there is a lot of it." - Terje Fjelde

"Should I pause "A Merry Mancini Christmas" for this? But... WHAT'S WRONG WITH SINGING TURTLENECKS?" - Terje Fjelde

"White Christian men with mustaches can't shuffle. Or do 6/8. Or whatever. I died a little bit every time that snare hit me." - Terje Fjelde

"But you have to remember that this vehicle is carrying a lot of stash." - Terje Fjelde

"Barbrians!" - Terje Fjelde

"1. Cyndi Lauper - "911" 2. The O'Jays - "Shiftless, Shady, Jealous Kind of People" 3. Randy Newman - "Feels Like Home" 4. Stevie Wonder - "Tomorrow Robins Will Sing" 5. Michel Legrand - "Hi Girls" Still waiting for those odd Norwegian new wave classics to appear in my Random Five. I'm practically Americanized, apparently, even though I've never been further west than West Sussex, UK." - Terje Fjelde

"1. Thievery Corporation - Exilio (Exile) 2. Sparks - The Director Never Yelled 'Cut' 3. Natalie Cole - (Get Your Kicks On) Route 66 4. Gladys Knight & the Pips - Daddy Could Swear, I Declare 5. REO Speedwagon - Time for Me to Fly" - Terje Fjelde

"Fascinating. I have a similar theory about Amy Holland, Michael McDonald's wife, and McD himself. Listen, original first: http://bit.ly/ftAUji , now a fourth down: http://bit.ly/grLSbr" - Terje Fjelde

"These posts are great for listening inspiration. "Skin" - Darden Smith. I don't remember exactly why or when, but I think his presence in my collection has something to do with a recommendation from Jason Hare or Jeff Giles. "It Just Keeps You Dancin'" - Rita Coolidge. Erm. "Tangaria" - Richard Galliano. Tango and a French accordion virtuoso. "I Go to Pieces" - Linda Ronstadt. Heavily layered synth pads. "October is Eternal" - Of Montreal. Frustrating." - Terje Fjelde

"EightE1 led me in the right direction. What can I say? At least I'm honest. 1. Jon B. feat. Babyface - "Someone to Love" 2. Snoop Dogg - "Serial Killa" 3. Joe Jackson - "Fools in Love" 4. Jean Wiener - "Maurice Charleston" 5. Henry Mancini - "W.A. Mozart, I Love You"" - Terje Fjelde
