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.
