I hate Finland.

Booked one way ticket to London. Goodbye.



The decision to leave might've been affected by the fact that I won tickets to Dr. Martens' 50th birthday, featuring:

The Most Interesting Man in the World

The Most Interesting Man in the World is an advertising campaign for the Dos Equis brand of beer, produced by the marketing firm Euro RSCG for Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma Brewery. The ads feature Jonathan Goldsmith as "the world's most interesting man" and are narrated by Frontline's Will Lyman. The advertisements first began appearing in the United States in 2006. -Wikipedia











These ads are almost converting me to a beer drinker.

Oh Land

New album out soon.



Debut album Fauna (2008):

Lost Highway, A Scanner Darkly

Lost Highway (1997) ★★★


Torrent

Curious soundtrack: Angelo Badalamenti (as usual), David Bowie, Marilyn Manson, Rammstein(?!), and, during one the greatest sex scenes I have ever seen..



Like the person who posted the YouTube link, I thought it was a Cocteau Twins song. Apparently it's Tim Buckley's.



A Scanner Darkly (2006) ★★

All Day single on Spotify.

Ivor Cutler

Ivor Cutler (15 January 1923 – 3 March 2006) was a Scottish poet, songwriter and humorist. Cutler was born in Glasgow into a middle-class Jewish family of eastern European descent. He became known for his regular performances on BBC radio, and in particular his numerous sessions recorded for John Peel's influential radio programme. He appeared in the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour film in 1967. Cutler was an anti-intellectual and noted eccentric, dressing in a distinctive style including plus-fours and hats adorned with many badges. Many of Cutler's poems and songs involve conversations delivered as a monologue and, in these, one party is often Cutler as a child, a part of his intended "bypassing the intellect". Cutler recited his poems in a gentle Scottish burr, and this, combined with the absurdity of the subject matter, is a mix that earned him a faithful cult following. - Wikipedia
