I was also writing for Aural Innovations in the USA and doing interviews and record reviews. I did a lot of tape trading when I lived in the USA and people like Chris Snow in Idaho and Chuck Wax in Michigan turned me onto a lot of bands from Denmark and Sweden before I moved to Copenhagen in 1997. but you can still get Danish records cheaper from Germany than buying them in the store here, which is a bit sad… Kozmik Artifactz and Sapphire Records in Germany are two mail orders I use a lot.įor a long time, you have been heavily involved in the Scandinavian underground music scene. We have some pretty cool record stores in Copenhagen like Rock Uglen, Route 66, Skoven Kalder, Insula Music, etc. These days I almost only buy records on the internet. I also go to a lot of music festivals (Roadburn, Sweden Rock, Heavy Days in Doomtown, Freak Valley, etc. The Obelisk ( ) is a great music site where I also learn about a lot of new bands. I have a subscription to Classic Rock magazine for the last many years. I still read a lot about music and review music for my music blog ( ). In the 80s I collected Pink Floyd and heavy metal records when I ran the fanzine Metal Madness but today I am mostly collecting space and psychedelic Rock albums. What sort of music do you mainly focus on? I had a few records already from my dad at that time like Chuck Berry Golden Decade Vol 1 and 2, Creedence Clearwater Revivial- Greatest hits, Jerry Reid, Johnny Cash-Live at San Quentin. Soon after I also bought the ELP-Brain Salad Surgery 7” at K-Mart as I loved the cover. The first record that I bought with my own money was Aerosmith’s debut album. I was working at a pizza place and every other week when we got paid we would go buy records! In 1980, Doug, who took over Merlin’s Record workshop started to stock the NWOBHW singles from Neat, EMI, etc. Anyway, Gilbert, John and I were regulars in this store and we just got hooked. They stocked all the coolest music and had a small bathroom with a box of bootleg vinyls and that is where I started collecting Pink Floyd boots. I am not really sure exactly but when I was in High School in New Mexico, I had a group of friends that were all really into music and we had a fantastic store called Merlin’s Record Workshop.
