I'm not really running a tight ship here am I?

One month I'm writing shit-loads of posts and the next month I'm not writing ought.
This is of course a bad way to be, if you want to be mega-cool blogger type.

So today I'll ease my way back into the game by just pointing you in the direction of a couple of "my mates' bands". No literally, they are. But I still like what it is they're doing.

I've already quite stated my fondness of Markus Perttula's tunes, so I won't delve deeper into that. Just give him a listen if you haven't yet.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

But I'm pretty sure I've never mentioned Sludge Turkey before. Sludge Turkey are brilliant. Brilliant noise-lovers who can also put together a really tidy groove as can be heard on their track Muff Beat

I love Muff Beat. I love Piers.

Eating Paper With Butter is well cool. Putting together sounds that one wouldn't think to go well with one another, but making it like work real nicely. Churning it into some freaky ambient disco.

Call this a real post or not. This is music that me likes. aight.

It's ON!

Jumping hot fishcakes splashing out from a boiling pan I SAY!

There I am thinking I'm the only Byrne to be doing the oh-so-original-music-blogging-thing when I find out my kid cousin is on to it too, writing on pinapple toast about what be going down in hipster London/St Albans. OMG!

What next? My dad posting photos on flickr of him dancing the night away at a Justice gig. Mum on facebook?! (oh hang on wait...)

But that's all cool. I was just wondering how I could possibly have anything more to offer the blogosphere from over here in Finland... But that's exactly it: Finland. Whoohyeah.

So it's time for a bit of plugging my mate Markus Perttula. He's known around Turku as 'The Voice'.
Maybe. I made that up, but check out el myspaceo and make your own mind up. He's recently featured on the album 'Syvissä Vesissä' doing a cover of CMX - Vallat & Väet. As musical influences go, you could do a lot worse than Jeff Buckley, Muse and The Maccabees and these are audible in abundance in his songs. Lovely stuff. Even a really nice guy as well. Imagine THAT!

This could be the spotify link to Syvissä Vesissä

and this should be The Gypsy Kings - Bamboleo

So Mr. Pineapple Toast man you can see all the gigs you want, but I'll always have spotify and Jonathan.

T-bone gotta bust a move now.
