Last night at @bio_marlon , huge thanks to @raliimak (who also took the photos in addition to organizing the show) and Suupohjan Musiikinystävät + all who attended! Playing at a movie theater worked well with audience really paying attention and the soft seats helping with getting into proper trance. 

Now we're on the road to Oulu, see you tonight at @martinniemenkerhola !

Happy Tove Jansson Day and Day of Finnish Art!

To
Happy Tove Jansson Day and Day of Finnish Art!

To celebrate that, I decided to post a live video from Smile Club in Varna, Bulgaria last may of my piece "Liejukäärmeitä ja eläviä sieniä" ("Mud snakes and live fungi!"), which is a reference to short story "A Tale of Horror", from the collection "Tales From Moominvalley" (1962). That book might be my favourite of all Tove Jansson's prose, as I felt she was at her best with short stories, and the non-Moomin ones are highly recommended too. 

Here's an excerpt of this piece of Southern Finnish Gothic Horror:

"It was a circular house, so it probably belonged to some mymble or other. The whomper knocked at the door. He knocked several times, and as no one came to answer he opened it and went inside.

Inside was warm and nice. A lamp stood on the window-sill and made the night coal-black. A clock was ticking away somewhere, and atop a large wardrobe a very small mymble was lying on her stomach, looking down at him.

'Hello,' said the whomper. 'I've saved myself at the last minute. From mud snakes and live fungi! You've no idea!'

The small mymble regarded him silently and critically. Then she said:

'I'm My. I've seen you before. You were tending a fat little whomper and mumbling to yourself all the time and waving your paws about. Ha ha.'

'Never you mind,' said the whomper. 'Why are you sitting on that wardrobe? That's silly.'

'To some people,' drawled little My. 'To some people it may look silly. For me it's my only hope of escape from a horrible fate.'

She leaned down over the edge of the wardrobe and whispered:

'The live fungi are already in the parlour.'


Kiitos @rokumoguli , @joonasmiika ja muut lauantai
Kiitos @rokumoguli , @joonasmiika ja muut lauantain levykirppiskeikalle osallistuneet! Keikkailu Rovaniemen kylillä jatkuu, sunnuntaina 10.8. klo 14 Auttin kylätalolla (Koulumutka 20), vapaa pääsy, järkkäämässä kyläyhdistys sekä @rovaniemenkulttuuritoimisto . Nähdään siellä!


@craigjohndavidson , @ohkamidon and @kadonnutmanne
@craigjohndavidson , @ohkamidon and @kadonnutmanner are doing a 7 date finnish tour in late August. Craig has a new single "Souvenir" out today (check out his Bandcamp or streaming services) and a minialbum coming out later this year, Don has a track on Bandcamp from his upcoming "Banjo Machine Music" that will be out on LP/CD on @ikuisuus_label , and I have about 2 albums worth of new pieces that I will start to record in September, but you'll just have to come to the shows to hear them. 

Really looking forward to this one, great to get Craig back to Finland and his solo sets have been amazing each and every time, and I'm also really excited about hearing Don's new stuff. This will be a treat for people who are into both really well crafted fingerpicked acoustic singer-songwriter things and droney, meditative music with occasional freakouts. 

Details about each show will follow closer to the tour, but here's what you need to know now:

Playing "Pikakelauksella maailmanloppuun" from Finnish Primitive Guitar vol. 3 (2020) live at Kawano Jazz Kissa, Annis, Pori two weeks ago. Fucked up a couple of spots, but it fits the spirit of the end of the world.  Uncropped 4K 16:9 video can be seen at my YouTube channel as usual.

I got a tip after the Niesi show that the actual sign for the border between Lapland and the manure ( aka agricultural land ) is only 18 km away in Unari. So of course I needed to make a quick detour for this.

 (Where the border has been at various times and how it has been moved and why is another question that I will look into at another time.

Next show on Thursday 17.7. at @kawano_jazz_kissa , Annis, Pori, see you there!
