Hiiuland days coming up, finally. Reading all Aino Kallas for Kassari research

Käsite ”runotyttö” lienee alunperin Aino Kallaksen keksimä, Ainon ihailijan I.K.Inhan myöhemmin käyttämä Montgomeryn käännöksissä. Tämä on täysin suomalainen käsite, joka mielestäni kuvaa mainiosti tietynlaista tyttötyyppiä. 90-luvulla me kuunneltiin CMXää ja luettiin paljon.

This week's episode features an in-person conversation with Mat "Kvohst" McNerney of Hexvessel, diving into their brand-new album, “Nocturne”. We explore his formative years with the UK underground legends Code, trace his evolving musical path, and uncover the inspirations behind

Finished all of the 13 books of Saxon Stories by Jonathan Cornwell. Took most of the year, but worth it - next trip to the UK will be with fresh understanding of its history. Wyrd bið ful āræd.

Expected this to be about Varg and his AI music but wasn’t 😅

Excellent holiday in Sweden: Timo Ketola memorial exhibition in a book store where I got an inspiring McLuhan book, visited various burial mounds and rune stones, quality time with husband and kids. Now wrapped in merino in Finland and writing about tech and culture.

Jos Musta Paraati on tuntematon, niin täältä pääsee tutustumaan muihinkin sen ajan suomalaisiin mustahuuli / post punk -klassikoihin youtube.com/playlist?list=…
