With this I want to thank mr. Bruuttus for changing my life forever. You are one special horse, you are.

If not us, who? If not now, when?

I love this sharp looking fellow to the Moon and back. #bruuttus

Yesterday I wrote about one of my favorite bands, Backyard Babies.
This photo was taken at that gig that I went to some years back.
It looks like I'm having a drink.
Maybe next time you see me eating something.
Cheers!
Kippis!
Skål!

My Music, My Jukebox: Backyard Babies

Here's my second post on "my music, my jukebox". My life hasn't gone any calmer with the horses, work and "stuff" but am still trying to keep up with my promise.

I don't even remember how many years back I got this home burnt cd from a friend. It was my first introduction to the Backyard Babies. And what can I say?! I immediately felt connected with the music and that rock star way of living. True rock stars! It was a couple of years ago that I saw the Babies here in Tampere. After that they got concentrated on their side projects; Nicke Borg on his solo material and his radio show; and Dregen went on to play with Michael Monroe and eventually started working on his own solo album. But last year it was announced that the Babies will work on new music. They have also announced that their 2015 tour will kick of at Sweden Rock Festical in Sölvesborg, Sweden. A month later they will play at Ruisrock in Turku. I'll be there.

So happy to be able to wear my Backyard Babies t-shirt once again. It's not like I couldn't wear it on a daily basis. I just don't want. It's too much of a dear memory. That t-shirt.

ps Backyard Babies also come from Sweden...

I chose here two songs: Roads (taken from their album People Like People Like People Like Us released in 2006) and Say When (taken from their album Stockholm Syndrome released in 2003). Have a listen and make up your own mind!

Because life is a road that is winding and dark

But I swear 'cross my heart so are you

Life is a road that is winding and dark

But I swear 'cross my heart so are you

Now you know it's true I believe in you

Yeah you  know it's true I do care for you

Backyard Babies: Roads

ps if I was a rock star I would definitely play guitar. Just  like Nicke Borg.

I said uuuu, and this is how I've been since I was born.

Uuuu, I'm not a devil, not a god.

I said uuuu, I'm just a rebel in the dark."

Yeah, I know my music.
I think this photo was taken, um, maybe in 2001.
I'm definitely wearing Miss Sixty and Levi's.

... and a year later living life to the fullest!
I still remember that New Year's Eve in 2014. It was raining, and there was no snow. We had homemade candies and champagne. We eat, we drank. We stayed up late and watched Kon-Tiki.

ps you find the same lousy story here (in Finnish) http://apinkglove.blogspot.fi/2014/01/my-nye-2014-uudenvuoden-kujeet.html

Well, what can I say...

I got my Master's degree in 2008. My former colleagues gave me this, and it's basically saying in Finnish that "since your head is not protected by a soft afro get a bike helmet with this gift card". I bought bike lights.

Thanks, Riku and Anna!
