Early morning rhythms taste sour

Bad domestic beer on the train turned into nice white wine after all. Drunk with sunlight and my friend's good news on the train, after lots of babbling we suddenly remembered we needed to eat something and got our food just ten minutes before arriving at Tampere. Salmon soup with the moving snowy scenery was great.

Enjoyed the premiere of the documentary 'Kenen joukoissa seisot', dealing with the popular political singing movement of the seventies. Had no idea how much media interest it would gain. What o' different world it was back then. What o' lovely innocent faith in making the world a better place.

A great day had a stupid end; we waited for Giant Robot to start playing till 1am. There were two rapping idiots wasting everyone's time, performing some bad stuff before the real music came out. Yeah yeah, I have been e-mailing the list of Chuck Norris' fab qualities around, but hearing that it was Chuck Norris' 66th birthday accompanied by some bad jokes didn't make me laugh. http://www.chucknorrisfacts.com/

In today's Helsingin Sanomat, there's an article of audience and some bands, too, wanting the gigs to start sooner rather than later.

Concerts at large venues usually start nicely around 9pm or 10pm, even earlier, and I think that it's still okay at smaller clubs to get the band on stage anytime before midnight. But at 1am all the anticipation has run dry.

I'm an old lady and need my sleep.
