What the hell just happened to last.fm artist pages? (And just overnight, also!)

They just look like they got blown out of proportion … everything suddenly looks too big and unorganized - there are no boundaries between sections and all things look like they're just floating there.
And the new proportions for a page - who wants the listening trend to be seen with the whole page width like that? Also, the gigantic buttons for the Play // Buy // Share options are just totally unnecessary - makes you feel like Amazon had a sponsor deal to make the…

CONGRATS NORWAY & ALEXANDER ♥

Oh yeah, as I've been listening and loving Alexander Rybak's Fairytale since it was introduced in Norway's competition for their Eurovision song I couldn't have been more ecstatic over Norway's smashing victory!
I mean, the song is just perfect. Simple enough and catchy, filled with emotion. I haven't grown tired of it a bit and it's been few months now. Sure, i think the show could've been a little more … something, but Rybak is without a question the most sympathetic and amiable boy and performer. You could just read his emotions…

Sat 24 Jan – Cleaning Women

Woaaaah~
Cleaning Women was so sweet! Fresh, easy and still chills you to the spine at times.

I went together with my friends and one of them had quite much to drink, so she dragged the sober me to the front row and as I had to look after her, I stayed there.
And we danced the night away.

Cleaning Women feels like summer….
Absolutely fantastic gig!

Sat 22 Nov – Pauli Hanhiniemi

Ho boy, I went there with my mother, 'cos he bought me in and kept my pint full.
Well, the gig itself wasn't that bad I had feared even if do not listen to these kind of finnish songs. But since my mother used to listen his production, most of the songs felt incredibly familiar and got me all nostalgic.
It was great.
And by the end of the night, I was greatly drunk as well.

Sat 15 Nov – Risto, Eleanoora Rosenholm

Oh yeah, what a disco night! Eleonoora was a lot more swengy than I would've thought and I greatly enjoyed the gig, danicing the night away w/o caring if the rest of the audience was standing still like mummies.
Got to thank her after the gig and asked to come to JNS again.

RISTO pulled a great gig, as expected. People were dancing like there's no tomorrow and some random drunken girl stuck with me half of the gig, but I didn't mind. It was ok, dancing with her as well with the…

Sat 27 Sep – Kauko Röyhkä

What can I say about the evening?
It was the usual Kauko, acoustic atmospheric sounds with interwoven stories.
I was little disappointed 'cos the set list was made up of the usual songs.
But he has a quite large storage of great songs, it's understandable he can't possibly be able to remember but the most wanted ones.

It still melted my heart. And the speeches…
"Kauko, mitä mie nyt pyydän kun soiti jo sateisen päivän?"
"Mä tiedän mitä sä meinaat pyydät, mutta sitä et saa."

"Mieluummin elävä koira kuin kuollut leijona."

…and all…

Fri 29 Aug – Mokoma

Incredible and unique gig, what more can I say. Getting to the gig itself, proved to be a harder task than me and my friend ever could have imagined. The tickets were sold out just before our very noses.
But persistence payed off as we got two tickets to ourselves by pleading to the band to get inside. Sometimes it's good to be ruthless fan, with no limits in mind. I still have no regret.

The gig itself was pure greatness with a set list full of old songs and I enjoyed it greatly,…

01. How did you get into #31 (Émilie Simon)?
* Probably through last.fm's recommendations. Downloaded few songs and enjoyed them greatly. (Le vieil amant)

02. What was the first song you ever heard by #22 (Röyksopp)?
*Must've been their überhit Eple.

03. What's your favorite lyric by #41 (She Wants Revenge)?
* Wake me on the other side,
You can hold your breath,
I'll be dreaming she's easy.
We can always say we tried,
If we both come clean, maybe then you can please me.

04. What…
