Just unpacked a box that had been sitting around unpacked since we moved in in February. It contained a mask of Pan (now on the bedroom wall), several small figurines and action figures (including Edward Scissorhands), some very pretty shells, and a few cassette tapes, among other odds and ends. One of the cassettes is a mix tape sent to me by a Norwgian penfriend in about 1993. I've poked about on the 'net looking for her before, but haven't tried the LJ network effect. Her name is Susanne Therese Selander, and she lived, up to about five years ago, in Vesteralen in Norway. Anyone able to put me in touch?

The cassette itself is so worn out that it's not really playable any more. So I'm looking for the following songs to reconstitute it as MP3s. If anyone can point me at these (I'll be happy to pay for them), it'd be great. I'm copying out what's written in my 16-year-old handwriting on the tape case, so there may be some inaccuracies.

My Baby Cried All Night Long - Lee Hazelwood
And When I Die - Blood, Sweat & Tears
Send Me A Postcard - Shocking Blue
In The Ghetto - Elvis
Obladi - The Marmalade
Long Before I Was Born - The Savage Rose
Harley Davidson - Shocking Blue
House of the Rising Sun - Frijd Pink (??)
Jersey Girl - Bruce Springsteen
Sugar, Sugar - The Archies
You Got It - Roy Orbison
The Only One - Roy Orbison
Room To Move - John Mayall
One Broken Heart For Sale - Elvis

Utferd - Storm
Mellom Bakkar Ag Berg - Storm
Villeman - Storm
Oppi Fjellet - Storm
Noregsgard - Storm
(There are three Norwegian fiddle pieces here, with neither name nor artist. I suppose they'll be a bit harder to track down)
Waiting For The Miracle - Leonard Cohen
Shitlist - L7
Sweet Jane - Cowboy Junkies
Anarchy in the UK - Sex Pistols
Do You No Wrong - Sex Pistols
Dancin' Barefoot - U2

The U2 and Leonard Cohen tracks may already be in the house. The rest... probably not.

I might have the BST mp3 and the Cohen might be on one of the cds (I have most of his)..I am sure kel has the U2 if I don't. The only norwegian music I have is Tempest..which is actuaully celtic-cuban norwegian music from California

Memories

I remember when Elvis died and my brother got his complete albums and tapes. I love In the Ghetto, it's one of Elvis' best ballads.

I do not care for Sweet Jane, she sounds she's like on downers or worse while singing it.

And Sugar, Sugar brings back bad memories of watching The Archies cartoon. *shiver*

To my knowledge, I can supply you with precisely one (1) of these tracks: to wit, the Leonard (for he is something of a personal hero, oh yes). Which you say you may already have. Ah well.

niallm can probably come up with a few more.

I have Anarchy in the UK on any number of compilation CDs, but none of the rest. You're welcome to the loan of it if you wish. Let me know how to get it to you.

Her name is listed here...

I can't verify that it's her, though. It's a list of people who are somehow associated with a Norwegian group.

They seem to be interested in helping people.

Looks right. I do recall it's not a common surname.
