August is not the major Summer Vacation month in Finland, so this one goes out more to my international friends, many of whom have started and celebrated their Summer Vacation in August. Enjoy! Here is albums that were played during August, up to the current End of Cottage Season weekend, a time that included Vaasa Festival, Night of the Arts, a cancelled Depeche Mode concert in Helsinki (but partly compensated by a wonderful DM-happening at On The Rocks), and an over-hyped Gyllene Tider concert in Vaasa (good band, awful arrangements). Tonight the End of Cottage Season is celebrated here and in parts of Sweden. A happy night, but also sad, as it signals another summer is gone.
Take care out there! See you in the Fall!
Augusti är inte den främsta semestermånaden i Finland, så den här texten går främst ut till mina internationella vänner, av vilka många har startat och firat sin sommarledighet i augusti. Njut! Här är albumen som spelats under augusti fram till villaavslutningen, en tid som inkluderat Vaasa Festival, Konstens natt, en inställd Depeche Mode-konsert i Helsingfors (som delvis kompenserades av en entusiastisk DM-happening på On The Rocks), och en över-hypad Gyllene Tider konsert i Vasa (bra band, usla arrangemang). Ikväll firas villaavslutning här och i delar av Sverige. En stämningsfull och glad, men också vemodig, kväll. Ännu en sommar går till historien.
Sköt om er därute! Vi ses i höst!
Below a list of albums heard this far in August. And a playlist for the End of the Cottage season weekend.
Nedan en lista på de album som snurrat hittills i augusti, och en playlist för villaavslutningshelgen.
