Have a Snickers and a smile and shut the fuck up :)

If you are a Finn...

I warmly recommend this article:

Anna Eriksson oli iskelmätaivaan supertähti, mutta kärsi joka hetkestä

Even if I don't necessarily agree with everything she still has very solid, well thought out points. Would recommend it to non-Finns as well, but you probably have no clue who she is, no cultural context to put this into, and probably don't understand Finnish well enough to understand what she talks about. And no, I sure as hell ain't gonna translate it, as it is pretty long :)

04:35 on a Friday

No, I'm not drunk, I've been home all night playing Batman:Arkham City. How riveting my life can be :) In all fairness, I thought I should take a small(ish) break from excessive drinking, as Easter was quite, well, "wet". Maybe a beer or two tomorrow though, haven't drank since last sunday, and that's already something in my books :)

Arkham City is surprisingly good and addictive, I tried Arkham Asylum when it came out and thought it was kinda "meh...", ok but nothing too interesting. This new (well, new for me as I had never tried it before) seems way better. Or then I didn't give the first one a decent chance. Doesn't matter, this one is pretty good, even if I've never been a huge fan of the Batman-mythos :)

On Sunday I could start working on turning all the virtual instruments used in the single into actual audio tracks. Boring as hell, but it needs to be done. Next week I should probably start polishing the vocal melodies and lyrics, time seems to go by surprisingly fast nowadays. Is it a symptom of getting older or is this just temporary? Anyhow, it needs to be done soon, and I have some other stuff that should be taken care of as well, so maybe I need to also cut back on the adventures of The Caped Crusader :)

The hardest thing to do on a guitar:

The hardest thing to do on a guitar

I LOL'd, but it's true :)

Well well...

Well, when it comes to the music, I think the single is starting to be pretty much there, should just play the guitar tracks again, as the ones I have there now are "only demos", so they're quite not as accurate as I want them to be :)

We also booked a day, or actually two, for the mixing. The plan is to enter the Tico Tico Studio with Mr. Kortelainen to mix this puppy, the tentative dates for the mix being 15th and 16th of May.

Guten Morgen

Like a Boss

2 nights of drinking...

...with Mr.Koskinen has left me a frail shell of a man... Well, not really, didn't even get a decent hangover. Had shitloads of fun though. Now it's back to the old drawing board. You know, work and shit.
