Thursday: Gift of Music - the sequel at Kolo

This week's Thursday it's Kolo time again. Last one was pretty cool, and I was very pleasantly surprised we got a little dance floor going for about an hour on a weekday. This time we'll do it even better.

We are gonna stick to the same game plan this time too: lesser known gems from music's history and easy going stuff for the first couple of hours and later we try if we can get a dance on with better known, danceable selections. If anyone has requests, hit us at comments.

Here's top 5's from us again:

Dj Peffis Top 5:

Alicia Myers - I want to thank you
Risque - Starlight
Fleet Foxes - Grown ocean
Doves - Kingdom of rust (Prins Thomas diskomiks)
Serge Gainsbourg - Ballade de Melody Nelson

Ripatti Top 5:

Raphael Saadiq: Radio
Busy Signals: Plastic Girl
Bibio: Excuses
Nicolas Jaar: Space Is Only Noise If You Can See
Justine & the Victorian Punks: Beautiful Dreamer

Hopefully see you Thursday. Have a nice week,
- Peffis

Fest-O-Rama kicks off

Little inside knowledge, this just between you and me, right...



That's Ripatti's cat, also featured in this poster. I guess we should take the cat to our gigs, he mixes better than I do!

Anyways, here's the real insider tip: Fest-O-Rama festival starts today with rare films, continues tomorrow with a design market at noon and a full house of music later in Turun Klubi and finishes Sunday with video games and chiptune music by Lisäelämä posse. I would suggest getting your tickets reserved today from 8raita for the Saturday event, so you won't be left out.

Me and Ripatti will be performing Saturday before and between the bands on the middle floor. Will bring some tasty indie stuff, probably try to accompany the good bands with our selection. Maybe something like this:





Ps. DL on the later one here. 320, and shared by Classixx themselves so should be playable.
