What cd's have you been listening to?

[vaihdokas]

Yeah, a real fan always likes the old stuff better! No matter how much the bands themselves always proclaim their upcoming albums their 'best ones ever'.

True that. Many bands can never top their debut album.

Ariel's one of my best long-time friends and surprisingly his band began to gain recognition a couple of years ago even though I wasn't playing the guitar for them any longer.

That reminds me of the “Some Kind of Monster”, which was on TV few weeks (?) ago. So is your only goal in life to create band more successful than Ariel & Supremos?

BTW, they are playing in the church of Hämeenkylä today at 6 pm, so you're welcome there if you got no other plans!

It's too late now, but that would have been too much of a voyage for me to only see one band, at least on such short notice. Thanks for asking though.

Right! I hear Mietaa is running for MP, after all. I hear that Vanhanen had personally visited him in Kurikka and persuaded him to join the ranks of Keskusta.

Yeah, what’s up with this sudden surge of former cross-country skiers running for election. I heard that Jari “Lapin karpaasi” Isometsä is running in the Uusimaa electoral district.

And just what/who do you think comes to people's mind here in Helsinki when they see me jogging with walking sticks in my hands and a jogging suit on me that says 'Rasti-Kurikka' in the back?

That must be a sight to behold.

Monasti näinkin on asian laita. But I don't think U2's "Boy" really falls into that category. Yes it is a good funny punky album, though!

I think my goal in life is now to go solo and surpass my buddy's record sales via that avenue. That's only because I just bought Ariel's old Epiphone Joe Pass a couple of weeks ago. That particular guitar is the one Ariel's playing in a picture in the sleeve notes. Now, there has to be some kind of magical touch in a guitar that's been in an album picture, don't you think?

It was close to becoming one good voyage for me, too, when Saturday buses tend to reach the stops before they should. But they'll have more gigs coming up, since they're beginning to work on their 2nd album. With Marzi!

Yeah, in today's Satanen he declared how hemo-hes has been forgotten a long time ago. That's a good starting point for his campaign!

Yes it is I don't have any of his other cs though, which makes me sad.

I only got the 2CD special edition of "One". Marvellous music, and it's Mike Portnoy on the drums!

I've been listening to "Cracked Rear View" by Hootie & the Blowfish. I love it...one of the best CDs I've bought all year (probably because it wasn't released this year, lol...).
