Mitä sä teet
Kun maailma katoo
Mitä sä teet
Kun sun sielus joutuu
Ensimmäistä kertaa valitsemaan
Hyvän ja pahan leikeissä
Mitä sä teet
Että oikeus voittaa
Today it’ve been 15 years exactly since the death of Jouni Mömmö of Mana Mana. I honoured his memory by writing a guest post to It’s A Trap! where you can also download track “Mikä on sun taivas?” from Mana Mana’s Totuus palaa album. Many thanks, Avi!
Yeah - the two week break became a month break and you all know, blogs live from frequent updates. I can’t deliver them, so as far as I’m concerned, Lupatarkastaja is dead. It may return as an undead, who knows - I still listen and look after new music, that have not died. I may continue with an another blog or at some another time, who knows, but from this moment on, please erase me from your bookmarks. All six of you. Shit. I feel like posting some links, but I won’t. Erase and rewind - later. SLAYER!!!
Flies, those small banana flies has taken over our flat. ANd I poisoned them! But they keep coming back, they’re everywhere, in thousands. To quote stand-up comedian Teemu Vesterinen: “Fuuck”. Yeah, fuuck.
Lemonator - “Would You Die For Me” mp3
Lemonator - “Is It You?” mp3
Anyway, Avi/IAT! tipped on Lemonator mp3s. I haven’t heard any of their new music, so I was eager, and yes - it’s still cute. I’ve never been much of a fan (to some point Lemonator is still that “Yellow” band to me), but tracks like “Is it you?” couldn’t be catchier. And the other Grandpopp tracks are just as good as well.
To Lemonator fans those mp3s should have some interest in them, because there are handful of demos for the new album made available.

Gradu. Graduseminaari. Aihe. 70 - 120 sivua. 20 opintoviikkoa : 4 = noin viisi kuukautta. Olet nyt maisteri, Teemu. Kiitos. Ei vielä. Avasin Wordin. Painoin ison Geen pohjaan ja otin aikaa. 120 sivua täynnä isoja G-kirjaimia vei kaksi tuntia kymmenen minuuttia. Kaasu pohjassa. Kauan siinä vie silloin, kun joutuu ajattelemaan?Taidan pyrkiä sellaiseen puolentoista tunnin urakkaan.
Eilen illalla sähköpostiin tuli viesti “Ilmoitus opintosuorituksesta”. Pro gradu -tutkielma, 20 ov. Sivuja ei tullut aivan 120, vaan 90. Silti, huh huh. Ihan maisteri en vielä ole, kaksi noppaa uupuu, mutta sanotaanko näin, että se ei enää paljoa ole.
Slayer will tour Finland in November. Two shows on 12th and 13rd, first at Helsinki and then at Tampere. Now excuse me I’ll go change my underwear.
*back* There are some other bands in the bill as well, but all I see is Slayer. Slayer. Slayerslayer. Yes. *gone again*
I’m not only going to tell my grandchildren about the Saturday evening in May 2006 when Finland scored 12 points in Eurovision Song Contest from all over the Europe, I’m going to tell them also about the fever this nation has had since.
If you would’ve showed me this picture from Finnish parliament a week ago, I would have wondered what the hell. Now I know that our prime minister Matti Vanhanen (on the left) is just showing to member of parliament Tennilä how to do the devil horns. You see, Vanhanen already knows how to do it since he practised it (Vanhanen is second from the right) at Lordi’s press conference on Monday.
I’m enjoying this ride.
Now, about a week after rejecting our old flat, it looks we’ve settled in well at the new place. Friday was the busiest day: the house we moved in is brand new, so there were some 60 families moving in at the same time. There were people like ants. Now, about a week later most of the boxes are unpacked, everything’s getting to a right place.
From the previous flat, we had a straight view from the kitchen table to children’s playground. Now, from the same table I can see the door where they carry out dead people from hospital’s autopsy rooms. Yesterday, when I walked by, there were three hearses parked, two of them having coffins in. It kind of reminded strongly that death is certain, life is not. But it doesn’t bother me, really.
I don’t have an internet connection at home yet, so posts will come infrequently for some more time. Avi posted about a new Magyar Posse track, check it out.
And tomorrow it’s Jyrock time, for the first time in my life, I must add. Last year I did that huge Jyrock post, this year I didn’t find the time. Hopefully the festival will be nice, at least Boys Of Scandinavia should be.
Watch out, grannies of the Europe, take a look at this. In this year’s Eurovision Song Contest monstereous hard rock band Lordi will perform as Finland’s contestant with their song “Hard Rock Hallelujah”. Lordi made its way to the finals in Athens, Greece (sometime mid-May, I guess) through the voting that took place yesterday, gathering around 67 000 votes which is 20 000 more than the runner-up got.
For some (obvious) reasons Finns have never had any sort of success in Eurovision Song Contest, and still we have the power to raise up hope every year we get a chance to participate. I’m so happy that this year we have a song that should get noticed, both in good and bad, and not some lame, generetic and soulless shit that’s so expected from the Finns. To get the picture, look at this picture from last year. Why?
This thing ain’t the biggest thing in the life of a man, but I at least need some bling bling between the Carcass and GYBE CDs and it might as well be the Eurovision Song Contest. At least it isn’t as nerve-wrecking as are the hockey finals against Sweden.
Joululoma on lusittu, vältyttiin pahemmilta onnettomuuksilta ja lahjojakin saatiin. Erään hauskan tarinankin kuulin, heti joulualuspäivinä, kun oltiin sukuloimassa. Mirvan kummitäti kertoi, mitä oli kuullut poikansa vaimolta, joka oli kuullut tämän jutun parturiltaan, jolla on koira:
