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 watching them more than I should. Thankfully those are far less important and I can focus on other things as well. So blog should be back up and running with new updates starting tonight or tomorrow. Now I’m listening to the new Joe Pug album The Great Despiser. It’s fantastic and definitely the new album of the month.

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 evening was a perfect excuse to feel a little nostalgic and play all those power pop classics, that was exactly what I did. Along with some newer favourites like Bobby Emmett and Elvyn. You’ll find the play list below. I might have forgotten a few and it’s not in any order (except that Emitt Rhodes’ Lullabye was the last song).
