Next 4 years

Election day was yesterday. Two-fold political history was made; True/basic Finns bumped to a historical height and Centralist-Right Wing party won their first election. Weird combination. One party that knows best how to campaign and pitch candidates and another one that's comical in their lack of style but still are able to talk to huge amounts of voters.

The next 4 years will be interesting. I doubt we would see a lot of changes, though. At least not in the scale people I know are afraid of. Here's my reason for not going drama queen on this: I'd guess the political system is so complex that even this big a bunch of newbies could make a real revolution without the knowhow and connections that older parties have to experts, labor unions, business organizations, lobbers, media and so on. Those networks are where a lot of the actual power is.

Still, I have to admit I'm pretty bummed about the share of ex-athletes and other celebrities in the mix. I love sports but being good at one doesn't add up in my books to being able make general, intellectually and scientifically accurate decisions that are good for the whole of society. Not saying they're necessarily exclusive, either.

Anyway, I hope you voted.

when the lion must lay down with the lamb

live side by side, hold on to love
let it's light be your guide"

Getting down with the Philly Sound

If you didn't know, now you know: Philadelphia was pretty much the place where disco started. Get yourself educated with this documentary on the subject and Dimitri From Paris' commented mix with some definite Philly disco classics. They are both from the same source - BBE music - and made to promote their double cd pack called Get Down with Philly Sound. It's not the complete solution to your Philly hunger - for one, it's missing this - but well worth checking out. It can be found on Spotify...
