Minutt for Minutt

WE ARE BACK! After a dire situation earlier this month, Our
Struggle returns, as lo-fi and perfunctory as ever! It's just us
boys again this ep but be assured we have some VERY prestigious
and intellectual guests on the horizon, so if you're one of those
dweebs who listens to our show for so-called "literary criticism"
and "thoughtful discussion of the work of Karl Ove Knausgaard"
just hold on a little longer. 


MAJOR shout out to "The financial times of Norway" DAGENS
NAERINGSLIV AKA DN which recently published a write-up of Our
Struggle that really captured the essence of our podcast. We love
our new Norwegian listeners and hope to be flown out to your
beautiful country someday for a North Sea oil wealth-funded
panel.


HOUSEKEEPING: I forgot to mention this on the pod but we are
collecting voicemails at our google voice number for our eventual
(1st anniversary?) call-in show: 443-584-6486


cheat sheet:


0:00 - Lauren and Drew velkommen our new Norwegian listeners and
discuss their newfound Norwegian notoriety.


8:20 - A digression about Elvis Costello turns into a full-blown
music segment in which we listen to Costello, Belle &
Sebastian and Jonathan Richman and reflect on the richness of the
Scottish indie pop tradition.


19:08 - We struggle through the first five or so pages of part
two of book one. Karl Ove is writing in his studio in Stockholm
and sees Jesus in the parquet, takes a cigarette break and
observes the morning rush; does he feel a part of the city or
detached from it? 


57:00 - Lauren and Drew lose their minds imagining Karl Ove
engaging with nostalgia bait memes


1:08:40 - Huge thank you to 6'4" Norwegian alpha male friend of
the pod Robert Rust for linguistic coaching!


Thank you for listening! As always, feel free to write in with
your thoughts, questions and Norwegian memes to Lauren
(teixeira.lauren@gmail.com) and/or Drew (deohringer@gmail.com).
We love hearing from you!
