Bääbs: You Don’t Know Tomorrow

No Comments

I’m not sure did I mention that Bääbs did qualify to the next stage of the selecting the finnish entry to the eurovision song contest. Anyway, she did qualify. which was nice. No let me rephrase that. It wasn’t “just nice”, it was fantastic. Bääbs will hit the stage (and your heart) on the 8th of january when the next stage of the qualification begins. While saving money for the surprisingly large january phone bill, one can check out this wonderful music video Sami Sänpäkkilä directed for Bääbs.

Bobby Emmett

1 Comment

I got this Bobby Emmett album yesterday and I’m already completely in love with it. Bobby Emmett is a power pop singer-songwriter from Detroit (and used to play in a wonderful band The Sights) and this album Learning Love is just stunning. Recently I’ve been trying to put together my albums of the year list and this is a great contender for the top spots. I’m just so excited about this that it will definitely make the top 10, top 5 is also extremely likely and top 1 isn’t out of the question either. I think it’s a magnificent and truly enjoyable power pop album that stands firmly on his own yard, but also reminds me of other fantastic groups like Sloan, Cheap Trick, Big Star and Jellyfish. I’m in love.
