Song: Ne Lui Dis Pas Artist: Fredericks Goldman Jones Year: 1994 I first heard of Fredericks Goldman Jones when they released Nuit in 1990. It has got to be one of the slowest songs I’ve ever heard and I need to be in the right mood to listen to it. You need a little bit…

Song: Carnival of Rust Artist: Poets of the Fall Year: 2006 I debated for a long time with myself if I should include this song on the list or not. I said that everything older than 5 years qualifies, but the first time I heard this song was in 2013. In the end I couldn’t…

Song: Hanging on a Heart Attack Artist: Device Year: 1986 Hanging on a Heart Attack is the oldest song on the list. Back in the 80’s, long before Internet and the media deluge that surrounds us now, hearing new music wasn’t so easy. Especially if you had a taste in music that heavily deviated from…

Song: Cose della vita Artist: Eros Ramazzotti with Tina Turner Year: 1997 Cose della vita was originally a solo single from Eros Ramazzotti, sung completely in Italian, and released in 1993. I liked the original, but didn’t think it was anything super special. The duet version with Tina Turner was released in 1997 and I didn’t actually…

Song: No Light, No Light Artist: Florence + The Machine Year: 2011 I can’t remember how I discovered Florence + The Machine, but I remember hearing No Light, No Light for the first time. It just completely floored me. Some songs take a long time to grow (there are a lot of such songs on…

I just finished a big project of building a huge jigsaw puzzle of 6000 pieces and now I suddenly have a lot of time in my hands so I thought I’d take my blog to a sidetrack for a moment. I’m not creating any new pictures for various reasons so I can’t spend time on…

I recently got the sad news the Savonlinna School of Translation Studies (Kansainvälisen viestinnän laitos, KVL) is going to be moved to Joensuu to be housed together with the rest of the University. I spent five years of my life at KVL studying translation and Savonlinna has always had a special place in my heart.…

Umm… this wasn’t how it was supposed to go… WE WON! And when I say ”WE”, I mean Finland of course. Lordi were so far ahead the rest of the field that the voting wasn’t even exciting!So Finland lost the semi-final in ice-hockey, and Sweden won their’s. Let’s be honest – I couldn’t care less!…

Looks like the Finnish Eurovision entry is causing quite a stir in Europe (or in Finland, anyway), they even made it to the news tonight. Apparently, Lordi are just too ugly for the European stage and Finns are ashamed of sending such a travesty to the contest (I must have blinked through the part where…
