The new single Dovdameahttumi for the upcoming CD/LP from the Oulu All Stars Big Band had been released today! The full recording " Davvi Oktavuohta – Pohjoinen Yhteys " will be available next week and features singer and actress Ingá-Máret…
I'm not the one to do the resolutions thing, they are never going to work anyway, and I am not even going to pretend that this will work in the long run, but with the first month of the year almost done, I thought it would be a good idea to…
I have always been interested into autobiographies (though my book-log doesn't necessarily reflect that) and over the last Summer additionally I found an interest into other people's diaries. Which considered my own journaling habit, is som…
I finally got back on track with my general reading this year, and even though I didn't manage to read as much as I used to, I at the least managed to read a little more than in the previous year. Who knows, with any luck, my streak will co…
