I’m a bit confused that this masterpiece wasn’t found in the thread with a quick CTR + F search. On the other hand, after unfortunate investments, the song might be like twisting a knife in the wound.
Pekka Pohjola, Finland’s all-time best bassist, played in that piece! I mean, in that latter one…
Speaking of truly excellent bassists & guitarists, while waiting for the content of the orange mystery letters, as the end of an era:
…despite their pale orange shirts or guitars…
Maukka Perusjätkä - Touch me

Soldiers! Listen
We will save this land
Soldiers! Listen
We will destroy this land
Nothing, nothing is anything
Because the machines, the machines say so

This Jack Black and youth orchestra Mr. Crowley cover is good!
(Made in honor of Ozzy’s farewell concert)
That was a great version of one of Ozzy’s best solo songs! And the guitar was similar to Randy Rhoads’ back in the day.
I’ve been listening to Black Sabbath myself after a long time, so I’ll put a couple of gems from the first album here ![]()
The whole album is a big gem. Put the record on and sit in an armchair with a glass of whiskey ![]()
This is undoubtedly a masterpiece of Finnish rap music:
And definitely more street-credible than the ramblings of grown-ups in baggy pants.
Inspired by Jack Black’s (tribute) and, in its own way, also by the orange market frenzy, here on the side:
…with all due respect, this is the best song ever recorded. Thank you Randy Rhoads & Ozzy…
Trump then went and published his orange-hued extortion tariff letter addressed to Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in its entirety…
…Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain’t got time to take a fast train…
(=I don’t care how much money I gotta spend)
Well, stock market gazing music for Mondays:
…with its ups and downs…
This might also be relevant. ![]()
This new acquaintance for me is a lively surprise, Portion Boys… and after listening to a few songs, my personal favorite was immediately found: Karjala takas but here, as a companion, something more suitable for the charts: Vauhti kiihtyy feat. Matti & Teppo
Let’s put on my own summer favorite from recent years again for a change. Those investment wounds will be forgotten ![]()
So orange, so orange, but still absolutely great though:
…R.I.P. Eero Raittinen…
Eero perhaps made the most beautiful version of “Vanha holvikirkko” (Old Vaulted Church), but the most entertaining is this original Finnish version recorded by Lenne:
Around that time, many other singers who didn’t fully understand Finnish also recorded in Finnish. But the same worked the other way around. When Jukka Kuoppamäki made his first German-language recordings and presented them to an East German record company, he received praise for the material and a wondering question, “what language are these?”
Irwin Goodman - What comes singing, goes whistling
What comes by working, goes by investing,
For money is for wasting
The euro always marches past on Fridays
And the wasted money no longer weighs on the mind on Saturday
Luckily, payday is still pure celebration
The investor, however, wastes the money on brother-shares again
