Finnish yanderes be like

@_ObeyYourSystem @Henkselipaita @glichery__ Falu röd spread from Sweden to Finland in the 18th century and was very popular until mid 20th century, pretty much the same culture. We call it "punamulta" here, still one of the common housepaint varieties.

@Henkselipaita @glichery__ Im sure you can find exceptions in america and asia too

Scandinavians have a strange fascination with red little houses

@beeritual_jazz @hardlybjorking The Roach album is so good, one of the best jazz albums of the late 60s.

@hardlybjorking And he's covering roach??? I'm in!

I’m certain this going to be album of the year

@jacobjbg I buy colored ones often enough and I don't think it's as big of a thing as people usually think. Now, older picture discs have atrocious audio quality and I think that's the primary reason behind "always get black vinyl", but colored implies novelty and novelty brings issues.

Vinyl collecting thing I’m only now realizing: colored vinyl, while cool-looking, sounds worse than black vinyl. Is this a well known thing that I am only becoming aware of now?

@woahwusu @jacobjbg I think there's some thing where people say that the carbon thing that's added to make them black is advantageous, but that sounds like possibly wishful thinking. Anyway, since black is the accepted default, it tends to be the most dependable.

@jacobjbg Black carbon is added to the PVC, so i’m not sure if that truly counts as dyeing lol… But yeah overall I’d say it’s more so a quality control, source material, etc thing. Colored records can have a higher noise floor, but that’s not always the case.

@Rentoheppu @Hannibaali Vain kovimmat tietäjät tietää että sen Cotton-eye Joe biisin kaksi ekaa lausetta ovat: If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago

@Hannibaali Muistan sen biisin joka meni jotenkin niin että ”Fedaadöbimö gatnaatsou, I bin määriid long time gou, fedaadöbimbö fedaadöjou, fedäädöbimbö gatnaajou”.

Jonnet ei muista kun Rednexin "Wish You Were Here" oli Radiomafian top-500 kaikkien aikojen biisit -äänestyksen sijalla 6.

@NotisAlarik There's a new cool essay last week about her record collection: tovejansson.com/tove-tuulikki-…

I never thought about her personality before, but the book, the letters and drawings she included in them made me realise, for the first time, what an interesting character she was. I think I'll visit her island, Klovharun, this summer. She often mentioned it in her letters.

I read a book about Tove Jansson's correspondence with her fans. She received about 1500-2000 letters every year. She tried to answer them all, which became a significant burden professionally. But if she didn't reply, she'd feel too guilty to be able to concentrate on her work.

@kivijussi @DoctorLemma Indeed, this was always a well-known eurovision disco banger here. There are more than one famous Finnish recording, the Kari Tapio version that came out a year later is maybe better known. youtube.com/watch?v=vM-rAT…

@DoctorLemma In Finland, the song was renamed as "Volga" (1980). youtu.be/iwksWcQ3QaU?si…

20 years ago, someone uploaded a grainy piece of 1970s television to the early internet. It was a West German disco band called Dschinghis Khan. Performing their 1979 song "Moskau." The band wore bright capes and golden armor. One man was dressed as a Mongolian warlord. He spent the entire broadcast aggressively stomping, spinning like a top, and throwing his bandmates across the stage. It was completely bizarre. Millions of people with zero context for German disco found the clip. They became obsessed. They animated the dance and typed out phonetic translations of the misheard lyrics. The chaotic energy of a guy in a cape spinning to a catchy melody turned the footage into an early internet meme. But the tune never actually died out. Decades later, that exact melody from the chorus was sampled to create the massive viral "Ha-ha-ha-Haaland" internet song about the Norwegian football striker Erling Haaland.

@MiddleEarth_xD For me it was Ultima IV-VI although frankly the old school game play is rough for someone used to today's convenience so "standing the test of time" doesn't quite hold true, but they were so good for their time.

@manicinventor23 @DigeliusMusic I'm sure these two have a large overlapping audience 😆

@Pas2 @DigeliusMusic funny, i bought these two together two weeks ago ,,, enjoy!

Today's haul, picked up some awaited reissues from @DigeliusMusic

@rwilliams1947 I just wanted to say about McDaniels that it's always weird to me that the Gene McDaniels who did A Hundred Pounds of Clay and the Eugene McDaniels who did the Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse album (talk about still relevant) were the same guy.

I’m listening to Roberta Flack’s version of Eugene McDaniels’ “Compared to What”: The President, he’s got his war / Folks don’t know just what it’s for / No one gives us rhyme or reason / Have one doubt, they call it treason Even truer today than it was 57 years ago.

@LatvijaBird 🎶 Hesburger ja let's go in On safka sen maistuvin 🎶

今日は「HESBURGER」を食べます！ わあ、すごく美味しい！ いただきます

@jacobjbg My heart bleeds at the non-Finnish people lacking access to our euro bin Viktor Klimenko and Francis Goya treasures. Goya is Belgian, though, so there must be other Goya vinyl goldmine markets somewhere...

You never know when that must-have Englebert Humperdinck album will be sitting there, waiting for you

@gawa_Jazz Rabalder 👌 This is great music, but you really hear Jan Garbarek and Terje Rypdal would find their own voices later, but that makes this a more valuable document of youth. doesn't it?

北欧のコルトレーンと言わしめたヤン・ガルバレクの原点。ECMの彼からは想像できないほど、コルトレーン、アイラー、オーネットの影響を受けていたことを物語る、なかなか衝撃的な演奏。 Jan Garbarek 『Esoteric Circle』（1969） youtu.be/RfiEZGIfHH8?si…

Tuesday is jazz jamsession night in Helsinki. Legendary @PoriJazz jam host, trumpeter @gunu74 joins tonight's houseband (Tuomo Uusitalo, Juuso Rinta, Joonatan Sarikoski) for the first tune, eager regulars wait for their turn at the table.

@stavrossky38 Balance 👌 Might be for me the jazz track with the most effective use of tuba in the history of the music.

Moving through the gears tonight…. Pharoah Sanders ringing the bells of peace…. 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

@LewistheLight1 @The_Pequod_ Don't get me started on Pharoah newbies seriously overrating Promises and Pharoah because they had high-profile (reissue) launches 😮‍💨 Mediocre albums hailed as career defining highlights, dogs and cats living together...

@Pas2 @The_Pequod_ Yeah that’s where I stand with it too it’s a pleasant listen but def not the 1st or 20th? Pharoah album I’d grab

“Flattens jazz” is lowkey frying me this guy is a dumbass

@LewistheLight1 @The_Pequod_ I'm not too tapped in to encounter whatever new anti-Promises discourse may be rising in the ol' social media, but I might be for it as an older school Pharoah fan who always thought Promises was "OK" and certainly not some late-period career defining Pharoah masterpiece.

@The_Pequod_ I kinda get general point he is making from the viewpoint of someone who likes jazz & new age. Personally don’t love this kind of sound (sinephro is mentioned) also think intl anthem roster at times. Would say sands off sharp edges of jazz rather than flattens tho
