Sorry for the long break. I didn’t plan it, but hockey addiction took its toll. Quite frankly I was more worried about Sami Vatanen’s ankle than this little blog. But JYP won the title for the second time, so it was definitely worth all the excitement and anxiety. Of course there’s still the NHL Playoffs and the Kummola Hockey Games and I probably end up …

A huge thank you to everyone who came to Flavour of The Month last night. I loved every moment of it and all the performers were brilliant. And The Genuine Fakes. Oh my. What a band. The best concert I’ve seen in ages even though Pikku-Torre isn’t the best possible place for such a loud power pop band. I was the DJ and because this …

Welcome to the new onechord.net. I hope it looks decent. I still have some minor issues with the new layout, but I think I’ll leave it like this for the time being. User-friendliness is a big question mark, because one has to click everything open. I might look into that, although custom images seem to cause a little bit of problem there. This is a …

I didn’t really like the previous theme and this one has a couple of annoying things as well. I should just stop wasting my time into this layout thing, because it really doesn’t matter one damn bit. I should just write stuff and forget everything else. Unfortunately I bought the new Football Manager 2011 and we shall see do I actually get anything done during …

Just a little theme change. I prefer the old one though and probably will change it back in a day or two. But maybe I first try to make a header image to this one and see if this looks any better after that. I really should just buy the css upgrade, because it’s pretty hard to find a default theme that I really like. …

FLAVOUR OF THE MONTH AKUSTISENA LOKAKUUSSA
Flavour Of The Monthin lokakuun livesessio nautitaan akustisena. Pikku-Torren lavalle nousevat perjantaina 1.10. helsinkiläinen Kim Curly Band sekä ikuisesti nakkilalaisen Penniless-yhtyeen turkulaistunut laulajakitaristi Ossi Alisaari.
Kim Curly Band on saanut suomalaisessa musiikkimediassa hehkutusta folkahtavalla americana/alt. country-popillaan ja nyt onkin korkea aika saada Flavour-lavalle parasta, mitä Suomella on tarjota vastineeksi Ryan Adamsin eri bändiviritelmille. Vakuuttava yhtye esiintyy Turussa tällä kertaa Kim Curly …

Flavour Of The Month was a blast. Both bands were brilliant. Go and see them play, if you have a chance. Also looking forward to some kind of Petty Crimes release, because that gig was just so damn good. I’m not sure can you say the same about the DJ, but this is what I played:
The Gaslight Anthem: American Slang
Elvyn: Lotta Lies
The Fox Hunt: Good …

New Teenage Fanclub song Baby Lee available here and/or here.
New album Shadows out and available on 31st of may in Europe/Japan/Australasia and on june 8th in the North America.
..and what about that song. It’s like the best thing ever. Live versions have been available on youtube for a long while, but it’s so wonderful to hear the studio version. May 31st can’t come soon enough.

Thank you for everything Alex Chilton. You will always be a Big Star.

Mark Linkous. I never knew you personally, but the fact that you are now gone hurts like hell. It hurts so much that I’m almost ashamed to admit that a death of a musician can have such a huge impact on me. It’s because our relationship was always so freakin personal. Your songs and your whispering voice carried me through lonely nights and gave me …
