Beautiful Summer

So there!
Okay, it wasn’t perfect (as I didn’t have my camera with me nor bought a PS-t-shirt. Was there even any?), but atmosphere in the front row was friendly and fun. My accomodation was great too, thanks to my host-roommie.
Same time next year?

Who cares?

Let Down

Maybe it’s too early to judge the whole week (come on it’s Wednesday..), but so what. The only music-related thing that made me happy this week was Depeche Mode’s Violator. On cassette! Found it while going through my sister’s stash.

Back to today’s comic (yes, I actually drew it just a moment ago. Looks like it as well.) and the issues it’s about. What. The Hell! Many of my friends seem happy and are SO going to Provinssi/Ruisrock, but I don’t remember ever being this sad because of the artists announced. Or more likely, the lack of acts I’d like to see.
(Why the token Canadian band is always Danko Jones? Arcade Fire would be much more interesting.)

So if Finland’s festival scene makes me all depressed, why don’t I go to, let’s say, Roskilde then? (Bloody Danes got Radiohead! Band of Horses and Holy Fuck as well. I’m not a proper fan of those two yet but definitely interested.) Well I sure would love to, but it’s expensive and just getting there would take too much time. (In case I get a job for summer, you see. It’s easier to go to Seinäjoki or Turku for the weekend and get back on monday than get out of the country.) Also for such a big trip I should’ve started making arrangements already.
And if all that would work out, I still don’t have the most important festival accessory, a friend or two to go with! Not saying that my friends are piss-poor or not into the music I like, but..

And now for something I made for a friend of mine: Mix CD of the most insane “music” I have on my computer. The title stands for CRAZY SHIT and that’s exactly what the whole disc is full of. The artwork has nothing to do with the contents of the cd, except that hip “I am so unique and indie with my vintage looks and stupid black helmet hair and flat ballerina shoes and tunic and leggings and blahblah” girls probably couldn’t stand listening to it.
..Okay, even I had hard time compiling it but so what.

And here’s the tracklisting.
That’s all for now.

I am electro boy/I am electro girl

(Lemonade Ocean came out two days ago. Should go and buy it then.)

And I’m going to their gig… today! Result!

What’s that coming over the hill?

Sorted out

A festival entry because sale of Providencenssirock tickets starts today! I haven’t yet bought mine, I probably will sometime soon, but first I want to know who else than Dave Grohl’s beard will be playing there.

Amy’s beehive will probaby cancel the whole thing and just guzzle booze in its hotel room. Silly little beehive, that’s exactly what everyone does at festivals! PMMS will (despite being pregnant and all that) sing angry songs about abdominal pain. Maja Vilkkumaan is on EVERY festival JUST BEFORE your favourite band, so you have to suffer through her set and try not to get mangled by her enormous and very drunk male fans.

I haven’t been to DuckRawk yet, and I’m not having any grudge whatsoever that back in 2005 some artsy indie kids from Scotland were playing there. Floppy fringes and 29-inch-waist jeans, who needs them?
So yeah, keep yer Glastos and all that, Finland’s festival scene is all I need!

</sarcasm>

At least we’re not drowning in mud but… I just want some decent artsts this year, not to be sick at the time and have fun! Is that too much to ask? Seriously, next year I have to go to at least to Roskilde or somewhere. Even a Swedish festival would do, really!
