Øre

Øre (plural øre, Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈøːɾə]) is the centesimal subdivision of the Norwegian and Danish krones. The Faroese division is called the oyra, but is equal in value to the Danish coin. Before their discontinuation, the corresponding divisions of the Swedish krona and the Icelandic króna were the öre and the eyrir, respectively. In all five languages, the name derives from the Latin aureus, a gold coin worth 25 denarii.

The Norwegian 10-øre coin was announced deprecated on 23 February 1992 and ceased to be legal tender the next year. Since 1993, the only Norwegian coin in use with a value below NOK 1 was the 50-øre coin, which was also deprecated on 1 May 2012. The original value were the 1-, 2-, 5-, 10- 25 and 50-øre coins.

The Danish 25 øre coin ceased to be legal tender on 1 October 2008. The only Danish coin currently in use with a value below DKK 1 is the 50 øre.

    Recommended Records (RēR) is a British independent record label and distribution network founded by Chris Cutler in March 1978. RēR features largely "Rock in Opposition" and related music, but it also distributes selected music released on other independent labels.

    In 1982 Cutler established November Books, the publishing wing of Recommended Records, and between 1985 and 1997, Recommended Records and November Books published RēR Quarterly, a "quarterly" sound-magazine edited by Cutler.

    In 1989 Recommended Records became known as RēR Megacorp with a turnover of £180,000 in 1994.

    History

    When English avant-rock group Henry Cow toured Europe between 1975 and 1977 they encountered many bands in a similar situation to their own: they were forced to operate outside the music industry that refused to recognise their music. In 1978 these groups got together and formed Rock in Opposition (RIO). To provide a record label and distribution network for these artists, Chris Cutler of Henry Cow established Recommended Records (RēR) as a model for a non-profit music company. When RIO folded as an organisation in late 1979, RēR continued RIO's work by representing and promoting marginalised musicians and groups. RēR became a "virtual RIO", and "part of the continuing legacy of RIO".

    It's On Senor... Go!

    by: Rory

    Appreciated every word you said
    Another hit, and I swear it's the last time
    This should keep me in the straight and narrow
    I'm such a sucker for the capital
    She told me once, and that's all it took
    To make me realize I'm starting over
    It takes a strong boy, a strong push
    And a reason to come clean
    I've got a caddy, and a pistol
    That says the light is turning green
    There's sand grains in my hair
    And love is in the air
    So keep the rag top down
    Because the sun's about to flicker out
    There's no way
    This closet's keeping me in here
    I've got to break away
    This gun is all that I've ever known
    They took my lover away
    Now I have upped the stakes
    This confession is my only sin
    Captivated by the passing lights
    Incriminated by my growing up
    And out of status premonitio is of their ways
    I hold this curse at my arm's length out
    I've got every reason to
    My gut says, "Listen Up"
