What, it's
august already? That means the
summer is slowly coming to an
end.
Wo-hoo!
*Ahem* Never mind me. I've just had my share of the
lethally hot
temperatures for the year
2000, and looking forward to seeing
snow again.
A
friend is asking me to
produce some "piripolkka" (a
Finnish slang term translating to "
amphetamine polka"), since there supposedly is a
huge demand for
domestic material. You know what I'm talking about: the kind of
simple and
hard house/
trance from labels like
Tidy Trax,
Nukleuz etc. The
genre with roughly 75% of the tracks using the classic
Alpha Juno preset "what the..." first made
popular by
Human Resource's
Dominator hit, and
vocal samples already used a million times since the late
80s.
Although stuff like this sometimes plays on my
minidisc walkman, I'm not particularily interested in it. And with no
passion or personal
motivation it's hard to start producing it. Especially since
originality seems to be a
dirty word in the 'polkka
circles.. Still, I'd hate to let my friend down, so I'm at least going to
try.
Heh, it took this long for the
tabloids to report
Henry the Great being
busted for
drugs in a
club here in
Hämeenlinna. Since it's
common knowledge (at least among people I know) that Henkka is a real
vacuum cleaner when it comes to
cocaine, the
headlines weren't that
shocking. But I guess an ex -
porn star with
cash flow problems could use all the
publicity they could get?
On a
side note: waking up at 8
sucks ass. That is all.
