Janne Laurila: Tauti ilman hoitoo

No Comments

Janne Laurila’s album Kultaisia pisteitä will be released by Ranka in september. While waiting for this beauty, watch this great live performance of a song called Tauti ilman hoitoo. I think that’s just absolutely wonderful. I’ve seen him play live huge amount of times, but I’m still amazed and I love every second of it. Unfortunately I’ve missed a couple of his latest concerts in Turku due to hockey related issues.

The Avett Brothers live in a gondola

No Comments

The Avett Brothers’ major label debut I and Love and You will be released in august. The Avett Brothers has been my favorite non-finnish band since I first heard their previous album Emotionalism about 18 months ago. Tonight I (again) ended up watching their videos and thought I’ve never mentioned this one at onechord.net. It’s The Avett Brothers playing St. Joseph’s from their Gleam II EP in a gondola.

Oh. And while I’m at it. Here’s the music video of Paranoia In B Flat Major. This is the song that started my The Avett Brothers addiction. This is the song I heard first. This is the song I fell in love with.

I’m guessing that you will see a lot of The Avett Brothers news and songs here in the autumn when the Rick Rubin produced major label debut hits the store. I can hardly wait.

Nopat, The Wonderminers & Beacon St. Radiants

Your blogger made a huge mistake, went to nostalgic mode and installed CM 01-02 back to his computer. If you know the game, you are aware that it has a tendency to destroy one’s social life and take control of all your spare time. While I’m trying to quit and become more active blogger, you can listen to these great bands below.

Nopat, The Wonderminers and Beacon Street Radiants have all added some new songs to their myspaces. They are wonderful bands and eventhough these are only demos or unfinished mixes, they sound bloody great to me.

Viola

A few months ago Viola decided to stop releasing physical records and started Viola Music Club where you can download or stream everything they have ever done. They didn’t stop making music though. Instead of physical releases they release one new song every month in digital format. June’s song is called A Decade and it’s musical and lyrical retrospective of the first 10 years of Viola.

Next wednesday 3rd of june is also Viola’s day and that means an annual Viola’s day festival takes place at Semifinal Helsinki. This year it has the same idea as their song of the month, to celebrate Viola’s first 10 years and they are dedicating a set for all of their three main albums.
