Rosh Hashanah recipes
Searching for good (almost) vegetarian recipes for Rosh Hashanah I stumbled across several interesting sites: In a Vegetarian Kitchen has a menu for Rosh Hashanah with Challah (Jewish Egg Bread), Seven-Vegetable Couscous, Carrot and Sweet Potato Tzimmes and Honey Cake Chabad is also sometimes good – they have four menus for Rosh Hashanah on their…Continue reading Rosh Hashanah recipes

NY Times: Still Married, With Children, but in Russian
while living in russia i saw the russian remakes of us-sitcom “the nanny” and thought that they were simply copied without paying copyright to the original producer (something not too uncommon in russia then…). how wrong i was. “the nanny” and also the russian version of “married with children” are licensed remakes: Still Married, With…Continue reading NY Times: Still Married, With Children, but in Russian
Book: Rock Culture in Liverpool
I just finished a book I should have read a long time ago: Sara Cohen’s “Rock Culture in Liverpool – Popular Music in the Making”, Oxford 1991. This book is one of the first ethnographies of local popular music production / a local popular music scene – and a very detailed one as well. Cohen…Continue reading Book: Rock Culture in Liverpool

tv links
my current favorite site is tv links. it provides a link-collection to movies, tv-shows, music videos – and not only english ones, but also e.g. russian… now i finally got to see “ivan vasilevich meniaet professiiu” (they also have “battleship potemkin” and “metropolis”).
Aftenposten: “Hvem er Ola Nordmann?”
aftenposten had an interesting article about who is defined as norwegian in norway (Hvem er Ola Nordmann?). the central point being that people who don’t “look” norwegian are taken to be foreigners (which is also quite common here in denmark). so six norwegians who are norwegian but come from mixed backgrounds started a project to…Continue reading Aftenposten: “Hvem er Ola Nordmann?”
Article: Pop and the Nation-State: towards a theorisation
I spent the last week reading and reviewing “Music, National Identity and the Politics of Location” edited by Ian Biddle and the late Vanessa Knights (Ashgate 2007). One article which was quoted in the introduction was Martin Cloonan’s “Pop and the Nation-State: towards a theorisation” (Popular Music 18:2 1999, p. 193-207). In his article Cloonan…Continue reading Article: Pop and the Nation-State: towards a theorisation
