   .: October, 19th 2003 | Another Day is gold!

     'Another Day' has now earned a gold disc in Italy, having sold over
     50,000 copies! Congratulations Lene!

     Meanwhile in Norway 'You Weren't There' holds the number one
     position in the radio airplay chart for the 10th consecutive week.
     It has now been on the chart for 12 weeks, and should be in it at
     least until the next single comes out. Way to go Lene!



   .: October, 14th 2003 | Another Day DVD

     The Another Day DVD is added to the records section. The information
     page from the DVD also tells you how to find the hidden photogallery
     which is on the DVD!

     I've watched the DVD today and I really enjoyed watching it. Especially
     the first section where the story behind each song of the album is told.
     Offcourse Lene doesn't reviel the meaning of the lyrics, but they tell
     you a bit about how the song was created and so... Verry nice!
     You can choose to watch Lene and the band play the song or you can view
     the lyrics. Those are the two different angles.

     There are also two bonus songs on the DVD. I have put the lyrics of those
     two songs in the lyrics section.

     I can really recommend this DVD to all of you, because it really is worth
     it's money and it gives another "dimension" to the album.



   .: October, 12th 2003 | 5 wallpapers + store

     Two new updates on the site: wallpapers and a shop! I have added 5 new
     wallpapers to the wallpaper section. Manny thanks to the creators of
     these beautifull wallpapers.
     There is now also a Lene Marlin store on the site, just click on the new

   .: September, 9th 2003 | Another Day lyrics online.

     Thanks to lene.it for the lyrics of the Another Day album. I have put them
     online in the lyrics section. The colors of the links on the site have been
     adjusted. They are more darker now, so you can read them better.

     The dutch version of this site will be back online soon. It will also get a
     new look. :-)



   .: September, 7th 2003 | Lene back on tv.

     Yesterday afternoon Lene took part in two tv programs in Norway, and precisely
     "Vg Top 20" on Nrk Tv and "Zone 2" on TV2.
     Thanks to Lene marlin.no we can tell how things went. Lene had a new look,
     with shorter hair and looked glad and fit. Many questions, of various type,
     were asked... but Lene answered (almost) to everyone,
     sometimes also with self-irony.
     She talked about her inspiration models (U2, Alanis Morisette, Travis, Coldplay),
     of hypotetical duets (Lene has no doubts on the fact that she'd prefer to duet
     with Bono from U2) and also about the Tv show "Idol".
     Her favorite tv series is Friends, and her favourite actor is Jack Nicholson.
     Lene has showed a deep knowledge on cinema, she often watches movies,
     especially dvd's at her house. To the question referring to Stian Barsnes
     Simonsen, Lene preferred not to answer.
     Preinterviewed by Sone2: Between Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears she
     chooses the first; between Eminem and Moby she chooses the rapper.
     Sexiest guy? Brad Pitt. To impress her? A great smile and charme.



   .: September, 7th 2003 | New look for lene-marlin.com

     First of all I would like to welcome you on this new Lene Marlin page! I hope
     you will like it. I'm open for suggestions and ideas. :-)
     The rebuilding of the site is done, but there are a few tinny things which I
     need to add. I shall do that as soon as possible.
     I've also taken advantage of the rebuilding and added some new pictures and
     the lyric for Enough. I will use the statusscroller (on the statusbar) to
     tell you about updates on the site and sometimes for news from Lene.
     The news-items about Lene will be here.
