When it comes to traveling, there are fewer better options for us here at Second Drawer Up HQ than the train. Comfortable, hypnotic, great views, a decent bar car, and the soothing soundtrack of the rails trundling past, all whilst inclined in a nice seat, stockinged feet crossed in front of you, and iPod earbuds perched in your ears providing whatever soundtrack you desire. I've been in a lot of trains over the years, but have never been on the Bergen Line that traverses the Norwegian countryside. It sounds lovely, and now, thanks to the creators of a documentary called Bergensbanen, I can now experience it secondhand. Add to that the addition of 7 and a half hours of DJ music, invited by the filmmakers to provide the soundtrack to the entirety of the train's route, and you've got something very, very special indeed. Featured on Norway's NRK2 channel, it was watched by over one million people when it aired Friday, 27 November of last year. Needless to say, I thought I'd share all 13 parts of the video with you, my very, very special readers! Chill out, put these babies on full-screen, and crank the volume up as loud as you can. Sit back (or dance your ass off, or throw a party while you're at it), and check this shit out. It's fucking amazing.
