I realize there's a basho going on, but I need to remind Ningen Isu released a new album earlier this month. :-)

This is it. The Internet finally administered a coup de grâce for my brain.

Welcome back!

So at last, the Convergence has arrived, as has been foretold ... or something.

What a time to be alive.

Considering that the Rolling Stones just dropped a new album, the time appears to be 1968.:-|

Just another two years then for me to start wearing diapers again.

There is this young chap called Heikki Ranta, who has created musical pastiches on YouTube during the last few years. He selects an established Finnish artist or band, analyses their most typical peculiarites and creates a new song that often sounds surreally similar to the original style. He's brilliant, but since an international audience isn't aware of, say, Nurmio's or Leskinen's peculiarities, what's the point in introducing him?

Well, now there is a reason. (The song itself starts at about 6:00.)

Organs are like bacon. Suit everywhere and the end result is always better with than without.

Oh, few videos as well. Not sure what it is in their sound, that appeals to me.

And now for something completely different.

Well, yeah, but these guys are Finnish, too.

I mean, if you found a group with a squirrel video and they were Croatian, that would be completely different.

@Kotoroiwa I won't hear even a single second of this one. I pre ordered the album coming out on September 20th and I don't want to spoil it for anything ! :-D

Not my cup of tea, but I hear they are somewhat popular.

Not bad.

1) Unlike many such bands (Say, the Righteous Brothers or the Walker Brothers), they are really brothers.

2) They are singing in a very obscure Finnish dialect, but I think I can pick up some of the lyrics.(Sigh...)

I like these guys even if they are far away from my usual taste. The logo of Love Records raised a ruckus in the Finnish Parliament in the Seventies. Those were simpler times.
