The Arion song
Has been removed from youtube, apparently because of a mixup with the name. Hopefully they can resolve the situation fast.
TV tip of the day
Yeah, I'm REALLY not big on TV, but "The Voice of Finland" starts tonight and my dear friend Mr. Antti Railio is competing today, so... :) Have to watch and root for him, even though I actually know already how it is gonna go :)

It's the small things...
Went to the liquor store today and they asked for my ID, so apparently I'm not totally over the hill yet :)
Quote of the day:
"We cross our bridges when we come to them and then burn them behind us,
with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke,
and a presumption that once our eyes watered"

New year, new music
The year has changed, and what better way to start it than with some new stuff? So, here's this years first release that includes Yours Truly (I wrote the lyrics for this one), a song competing in "Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu", which is a competition where they search for the Finnish representative for the Eurovision Song Contest.
BTW, if you're wondering why the lyrics might be a bit different from what I usually write, there is a reason: The guy singing is very young, I think 17y or so, so my traditional angsty pseudo-poetry wouldn't really cut it there, as it would not be very believable for him to sing that kind of shit, as it requires that you've actually lived through some of the stuff to pull it off. I think the song is pretty damn good though, even I couldn't totally ruin it:)
It's a good band and I wish them all the best. So folks, if you are Finnish show your support and vote for the guys when you get the chance later this month. A vote for them is also a vote for me, you know ;) I think the song becomes available in iTunes and Spotify on 11th of this month, so later you can show your support also by buying the goddamn song :)
I really don't understand why it says "Lost in the Woods" as a title there, since that was the name of the original demo with the original lyrics, but now it's called just "Lost"... Anyway, here's there first from me for this year, enjoy :) More to follow on February :)

Traditions
We have this tradition of watching Garmisch-Partenkirchen skijump competition, in our underwear and hungover as fuck. Every year starts with that. This one is not an exception :)
