Wonderful Life vs. Called Out In The Dark
I really like Hurts’ song Wonderful Life. It has nice 80’s sound and look even it was actually made in 2010.
Snow Patrol has recently released a single Called Out In The Dark from their new coming album Fallen Empire. If you listen to the single, wouldn’t you think that it sounds similar to the Wonderful Life???

Adele - Set Fire To The Rain (Thomas Gold Remix)

Admittedly the original song is very good but it’s a rare occasion when a good remixer cannot oomph the song properly. I think there is enough oomph here.. what do...

Retail Therapy - Extempore style
Today I was just going to go and browse the shops and see if there is anything I’d like, plus I knew I needed some new T-shirts but as I don’t like shopping and not really shopping when it is Saturday I didn’t think I’d actually buy anything. To my surprise I managed to do quite well today. Painless experience and also I kept my budget which was £60. I love extempore...

A musical discovery of the day
Because of heavy advertising of soon starting Formula 1 season I’ve been racking my brain to think what is the song they use there, but thanks to the all knowing Internet, I have my answer now! It’s Fleetwood Mac - The Chain.
The bit what is used for adverts starts at 03.04, but whole song is really really cool.

30 Day Song Challenge Day 08 - A song that I know...
This song used to be somewhat talisman song for me. I listened this at home before exams, such as Taekwon-do belt exams. I have no idea why this song particularly was so important to me, and why I still love it, and I still know the words to…cannot explain it…

As a bonus - this reminds me of party in Budapest where I was with other students from the...

This song reminds me of when we - the IT students from class 98 - graduated (receiving the Vocational Qualification in Business Information Technology = datanomi) from Jyväskylä’s Adult Education Centre and when we all went to party since it was our final night together as a group. This was one of the many many great songs which was played but this one I particularly remember!

This song particularly reminds me of Eeva-Maija, whom I’ve been friends with 24 years now. She is really a dear friend of mine, and it is a shame that she is so far away, living in Frankfurt with her husband and their little daughter Emma-Sofia. Luckily there are emails and phone calls but it’s not the same as talking face to face and making this world a bit better place every time we...
