I don’t know much about Joutomies Aleksei. Only that it’s a folk group from my old hometown Jyväskylä and they have some great songs on myspace. I was just browsing through myspace tonight and somehow ended up listening to their music and instantly liked it.. and by the time I heard Kolmipäinen Koira I was almost in love with it.
The Genuine Fakes – I Don’t Want It
The Genuine Fakes is a wonderful power pop band from Sweden. They’ve had a lot of great songs on their myspace during the past few years and now their debut album is finally coming out. I don’t know when exactly, but hopefully before the end of the year, because I’m really looking forward to it. The single I Don’t Want It is out and available and it sounds pretty damn good to me. Reminds me of Popsicle and that is always a good thing.

Classic albums – The Wonderminers
I’m guessing that both this documentary and the upcoming album are future classics. The Wonderminers is Petri Nakari’s (Red Carpet, Sister Flo etc) new band with all the usual suspects as his sidekicks and partners in crime. Well if you can call making perfect pop music a crime. The Wonderminers album will be stunning..
