PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

43 Ideas for Birthday 43: A-ha Albums

As part of the band’s 30th anniversary celebration, Warner Music will again reissue the 1985 debut Hunting High and Low (originally issued as a two-CD deluxe in 2010) but this time as a more expansive Super Deluxe Edition which will be “remastered and packed full of bonus content”. 

Perhaps of more interest to a-ha fans will be the continuation of the deluxe editions of four years ago. Stay on these Roads (1988), East of the Sun, West of the Moon (1990) and Memorial Beach (1993) will all be reissued and expanded next year. 2015 will also see vinyl reissues of the first two albums, Hunting High and Low and Scoundrel Days.
