There is this really hilarious sketch of German comedian Hape Kerkeling about Finish Eurovision songs (even if you don’t understand German it’s still great!). I always thought he had made up the songs but… …BUT! These songs really exist! Song no.1 was performed in 1988 by “Boulevard”: Song no.2 was performed by Fredi (!) in [...]

a-ha: “Foot of the mountain”   9 comments

Couldn’t be long before the video would appear on YouTube: Before it was broadcasted on Viva last night, it had been already online on the Viva-website but apparently only visible to users with a German ip (which imho wasn’t fair).

Jakkolo night?   1 comment

Finally we’ve managed to play Jakkolo. As Charlie and I have occupied the dining room table with the art stuff there had been no room to put the Jakkolo board. But today we improvised by adding the balcony table to half of the dining room table. The result was a bit unstable but it worked [...]

This freaky voice in my head   Leave a comment

Do you know this weird experience to wake up with a song in your ears that you just cannot get rid of? That’s what happened to me today with these two songs by Jan Delay. This is usually not my kind of music at all but this freaky voice just cannot be forgotten. Liebeslied (Love [...]
