Snowed in at the Wheeler's Street

Hello to all of you who got lost in the web and somehow ended up in my blog ♥  Accidents are sometimes the best what can happen in your life, remember that.

This time has been.. rushing aroud all the time. I haven't bought any X -mas presents yet.. I need to go shopping, I suppose. Independence Day is nice one more day off from school in December, but I hate to ad in magazines how every stars (especially all who live/lived before abroad) are telling how they watch "Tuntematon Sotilas" or listen to Finlandia on each 6th of December. 'Cause the reality is, they don't give a fuck about Independence Day, I can say that by the experience. I don't care about it. Of course it's nice that Finland isn't part of Russia or something but still, nevermind. Here's nothing to be proud of. Sorry all you Finland -fans, I just got to say that.

I heard horrible news about.. two weeks ago. Slash wrote in Twitter that the film director Ken Russell had died. I didn't think that he would lie or anything but that wasn't written in any magazine. So today, when I read Helsingin Sanomat, there was told, that Ken Russel had died on 27th of November. Slash was right. I man, of course, he had heard to news so much before.. News seem to go slowly accross the Atlantic ocean. Anyway, R.I.P Ken Russell.

Yeah, it's snowing here. It snowed when I walked home from school, and snow flakes were huge. Seriously, about 5-7 cm, like little plates : 3
Cute, but they got my hair wet. It's curly now. Damn. Where's my flat iron?

I'm a snow dictator and this is my army >: )

This became quite short post, 'cause I really don't have time to write any longer. I'll try to get more freetime to write here more, I promise. At last at X -mas, I'll write more. But for now, bye. <3

Dysfunctional professional

Time goes by.. I was yesterday in Vaasa, shopping with my friends. I love to collect mugs, now I have Mötley Crüe mug too. And I'm always wonderin why my mom's friends look at me weird if they are at our house and I have set the table and made coffee..

Anyway, actually I decided to make a post 'cause I've bought so much new albums (and waiting still few for coming).. First, I've been waiting that Andy McCoy's Building on Tradition to TopTen from August. I ordered that album to there, and yesterday the sales clerk said it's not coming at all. Same answer about Dead Boys' album too. I gotta order them from somewhere else. Fuck, I waited almost half year for nothing.

But let that not to depress us too much.
'Cause even if you don't have enough money for food, you have always money for buying few albums. And I your house's on fire, save the most important (=albums) first. That's my aphorism of life.

From upper line, left to right:

Def Leppard: Pyromania (great 80's sound, from levykauppa Äx)

Backyard Babies: Them XX (that was fn' collection, which I didn't notice on time.. but it's good, better that I thought. From levykauppa Äx)

The Doors: The Doors (I love that.. from Levykauppa Äx)

Down:

Mötley Crue: Dr. Feelgood (from levykauppa Äx)

Michael Monroe: Another night in the sun (from TopTen, that's the first live album I've ever bought on perpous.. Recorded at Tavastia in 2010)

Look what I found today! We were meeting our granny and we stopped in Seinäjoki Anttila.. And there was T. Rex Rocks! collection with only 5€ ! Sad that Marc Bolan died in 1977, I'd like to see this band live.. (as well as Led Zeppelin, original GN'R etc.)

Well yeah, that kind of stuff this time. This became quite short but anyways.. bye <3

I've visited in heaven..

Yep, I have, believe it or not. That gig was the best I've ever seen before, and think, I've seen such bands like U2.. still club gigs are totally different. Ya know, in big shows where's about 50 000 people, that band is always so..distant. Like the band would be in another place at the same time. That makes the show boring, 'cause the feeling is missing.

But on Friday the feeling really wasn't missing. In Finlandia Klubi was about 600 people, who all had huge hair.. The show started a bit late 'cause they had some problem with mikes, so they started about half past nine.
We were sometimes in the first, sometime in the second line, but anyway so freakin close of the guys on stage. That was amazing. I knew already before the gig that Michael Monroe is good live, but I couldn't have believed that he would.. I don't how to say it. He was amazing. All the time running and jumping around, but you couldn't hear that from his voice at all. He sang everything perfectly (although he forgot to start few times singing in the right place, so he dropped some lines away..). And the rest of the band.. Sami Yaffa was fuckin cool as always, Steve Conte played good too (he winked me once!) and Dregen.. ya know Swedish Backyard Babies? The guitaris of that band plays with Michael Monroe nowadays and he suits to that group perfectly. They couldn't have chose any better guitarist to that band, Dregen was great choice. I love those guys so much ♥
About the music.. they didn't play loud at all, actually the volume level was good. They played mostly Sensory Overdrive songs but of course few Hanoi songs: Back to mystery City, Malibu beach nightmare (Michael really can play sax very well <3) and Motorvatin' (Sami's bass intro... ya should have seen it!)   And, of course they ended the show with Dead, Jail or Rock N' Roll.. and then came encore, three songs.. Then that was over. But that feeling is still on, I've fallen in love <3 I've never seen such intensive gig, that was full of speed and dangerous situations. And I loved that.
The best things of the show were of course that when Sami smiled at me, Michael pointed me when he sang Back to Mystery City's second verse: Hey little girl, you'll love it there, just backcomb your hair, let's get outta here.. <3 And... in the end of the show, when Michael came down from stage I touched his arm..<3 Actually I touched him twice.. All guys were fuckin sweaty, Dregen looked like someone had pour water on him.. Well, there was hot. Really. Best gig ever, I wanna go back there.

Think, I took this without zoom.. I really was that close of Michael Monroe. <3 

Yeah. I don't know what else to say. Actually I can't really talk, 'cause I lost my voice partly and my back and chest are so hurt that I can hardly breathe deep. But I don't complain, that's my own fault XD

But some pics of the guys.. <3

I had long time a fobia of everything Finnish music, 'cause I adjusted that it's shit. Ya know, The Rasmus, HIM, Nightwish etc, I've never liked them. Especially I've always hated all those bands which make music in Finnish language. I just couldn't stand that, and I still can't. Finnish is ugly language, and usually it's so easy to regonize Finnish song (even though it's in English) 'cause it has no feelings, and there's no attitude. Finnish rockbands usually don't have any rock attitude. That's why I can't stand that music, it's like... ya know, wannabe. And I don't admire any Finnish rock stars.. But Michael, Sam and Andy are the only exceptions. <3

( I meant to put here one of the videos I took from the show, but my computer couldn't download them here, and that fuckin shit machine shut down and it took an hour to switch it on again.. so sorry for that I don't have any music/moving picture here this time)

Sorry I gotta go (after I've tried to write this 5 hours).. If I could download this post now to my blog.. anyway, see ya soon again <3

Wanna whole lotta love?

Oh my, a new reader! Fantastic! Should I say "welcome" or something? I hope you'll like my weird posts and this wouldn't get too boring, ya know.. so, welcome now officially. :3

OK, it's now morning about 8 am when I'm writing this and eating candy. Actually a lollipop. I thought it would me nice to do a post before we'll leave for Lahti between 9 and 10.. I could hardly sleep last night, even though I've been to few concerts before this (OK, this is my first club concert, and I'm kinda afraid of I'm gonna screw the thing up, 'cause I have really no idea how to be there)..
Go to check that if you have time:  http://www.finlandia-klubi.fi/fi/keikat/

I was shopping in Vaasa on wednesday, and I bought everything important.. Why everything ends the when you need them most? Like my eye-liner, mascara, foundation..

At last I've good waterproof mascara..

fucking expensive Lancome foundation, but it lasts long and covers well. I've used it long time and it has never let me down.. yet.

Then jewellery; ring from JC and bracelets from Glitter...

And I found Janis Joplin's collection from TopTen. Usually I hate collections but now I had to buy one, it's difficult to find Pearl or other Janis' albums from anywhere anymore, they're that old (unfortunately).. 

Now I think everything is fine. Tomorrow is my daddy's birthday at one pub, so I need to go there when we return from Lahti.. again a weekend with no sleep. I did yesterday three playlists for the party, two rock lists and one disco.. I think my dad I quite proud of my music taste, we fought about 15 minutes of is Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love too "long and difficult to understand" for that kind of situation. If you ask from me, Iove that song. Best blowin song ever, don't sleep for week and then listen to it. You'll go as mad as I already am.

Rock like F*CK!!

I'm really on rock mood now, I've listened to music all evening (as usual but just jumping around and singing along).. Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. The Doors. And Velvet Revolver. You can start with those. And then continue to GN'R, Hanoi Rocks and  Andy McCoy. Aerosmith. AC/DC. Michael Monroe. And then whole thing again. It's hard to even be sitting at computer and writing this, I'd like to be jamming around.. It's life.

I don't remember when I have posted photos of myself last time.. sorry for that, but I just don't usually like any pic that's taken of me. Ya know, I take about 50 photos, and then post 3 or 4..  but anyway, here are few new photos:

I decided to play decorator for one day, 'cause I needed new drapes into my room..

And I think you can guess which ones I made my mom buy for me.

You can also see few posters on my walls..

I think this was all, not as much writing as sometimes.. well, good for you. I haven't bought that new Michael Monroe book YET, but believe me, it will be mine some day.  

I wanted to put here one song, but I couldn't find good video from it (most of them were forbidden in Finland 'cause of credits or something like that.) but the lyrics is great too. I can say, I'm not revolting against society, I'm just doing things as I want to. That's my style of living, take it or leave it.  

When I was a kid all I wanted to be
Was the meanest dude on the meanest machine
Now I'm going to wrong way on a one-way street
I never fit this society

I don't really mind
Doing my own time
The three choices I ever came to find
Were: Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll

I ain't looking for trouble but it's looking for me
The law of the jungle is protecting me
Lose sleep man stay out of your bed
You might wind up in jail if you lose your head

In death I might find
True peace of mind
But while I'm alive
Free choice is mine
It's either: Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll

 

Class trip(ping)

Today begins our class' eco weekend at school (we're collecting money for our classtrip..) We collect waste metal, we have flea market and coffeestore, and playing place for children. And believe me, it's not gonna work. Or if we get  money for organizing it, credits for me and the Fish. We want to travel to Helsinki, but I think our school's principal is gonna ruin that plan, if she only can. People are evil.

This post will be so short, 'cause we have chemistry lesson in computer class right now. Sorry for that. Guys are talking about penguins. I like that :3

I'd like to write a little about trusting and respection. I think those things have to always be earned. I just can't trust or respect authorities only because they are authorities. It's not fair. I respect people who deserve it, who have somehow shown me that they really worth my respection and trusting. There are only few people in the whole world who I trust to (my friends)  and I can't imagine myself explaining my personal things to authorities, like some tax officer or someone. I don't respect authorities automatically, 'cause I've noticed, that most of them are just normal people. Usually idiots/racists/normal Finnish people. And I'm fed up with people who are staring at me.

As you know I'm Alice Cooper fan, and I found out Alice's fans are officially called "Sick Things". Now I am officially the Sick Thing. Now I gotta stop, sorry. Bye <3

Welcome to my nightmare.. of music.

First of all, my "must have" wishlist of albums includes 44 albums as LP or CD, how ever. And of those 44 only 11 have been made after year 2000. And that list isn't perfect,  few bands are missing from it.

Anyway, that isn't the thing. This is:
Coldplay released new album this week. It menat to save the guitar rock of 21st century. I understand the pressure, but album got bad reviews from every magazine. The album repeat itself, songs are copies from old Coldplay hits, there's a duet with Rihanna.. Some journalist asked if  Coldplay really is that bad as the haters of the band say. Oh yeah, the band was saving the rock music. 
Metallica made new album too, this tim with Lou Reed. Even Metallica fans say that the band hasn't made good album for 20 years, and Lou Reed.. well, belongs not to this century, sorry. And what was the album like? Even Radio Rock didn't want to play the single, neither any other radio station. People laughed at it, and no wonder. I say "fuck that shit, I've always hated Metallica and that's ridiculous. Sounds like some old dude speaking on the tape which has been taken when every Metallica dudes have had horrible hangover." 

Rockbands mess themselves all their stuff, and they who don't.. somebody comes and rapes their music. And with "somebody" I mean pop. Lady Gaga wants to sing in Queen (in loving memory of Freddie Mercury.. as she says), wants to make duet with KISS.. She has told how Mötley Crüe is amazing, how she loves Green day.. you know.

Or they do it from their own will, like Alice Cooper... You know I love him so much, I really do, but a duet with Ke$ha? Has he gone mad? There's nothing bad in golf and Jesus anymore, if he will stop writing bullshit. I wish that Nightmare 2 was only a joke, but still.. Ke$ha in Alice Cooper's show?! I don't know, should I laugh or cry. But well, Cooper has made music over 40 years, so he wants to do something crazy, nobody can really say no.   

Piratism is one thing that I really hate. Are people really that stupid that they don't realize where the musicians get money from? Like some Spotify.. I understand, I listen some albums I don't have yet from there, but if the album is good I'll buy it. It's unfair for songwriters, that they don't get money from their work. I can proudly say that I haven't ever downloaded anything illeagally from the net, I mean albums or movies.   

Last two albums I've bought:

Kate Bush: Lionheart

Michael Monroe: Nights are so long

Somebody asked me why do I buy that much albums 'cause I could listen to them free, and I said I feel like I'm not real fan then. If I didn't buy my favorite band's album which cost 7€, I'd think I'm freaking selfish or  just Unckle Scrooge..

But there is something good in album business too. I told you about this before, but now I got the pics:

Ain't it great idea? Every music freak - eco people (like me) would absolutely buy more that kind of albums..  but I haven't ever seen any other album like that, only that one Clash..

please comment, I wanna know are you as freaked out about rock music's situation as I am 8)
