TNK (Tomorrow Never Knows)
Introduction Although it doesn't contain my favourite Beatles songs, "Revolver" is my favourite Beatles album. I bought it first on cassette but now have a CD copy of it, and maybe I will pick it up on vinyl at some point. I bought it in Glasgow maybe ten years back.

The Leningrad Cowboys
Introduction The Leningrad Cowboys Biography Site Today I started writing a piece that was fairly self-destroying and I thought this will be dark and depressing, and to be honest, I prefer being upbeat and positive. It was my friend Trisha’s birthday and I shared a video with her, which, in my opinion, is one of the most uplifting, maddest and impressive three minutes that I have ever seen on YouTube and it is from a DVD that I have from a concert that took place on 12 June 1993 on Senate Square in Helsinki, Finland which was attended by my friend Krista.

Oasis Is Genius!
Let's take a look at the Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, and just why they are the best that BritPop had to offer. Maybe someone of you are celebrating England's advance in the World Cup to the Group of 16. Maybe some of you are fans and have taken the time to either go to the games, or watch the videos I've seen of Brits singing along to Oasis' ''Wonderwall''. It is always a joy to see how one song can unite so many people, even if you don't feel like anybody feels the way you do...today...

The Album I Love But Rarely Want to Hear
So, it's spring 1994. I'm 14 and have a very busy, questioning mind. Ever since I moved on from Kylie Minogue and whatever random pop music happened to be on the radio, I started developing my own musical taste. I gravitated towards indie, rock, metal and dance music, which naturally led me to industrial music. The bands that resonated with me most were Ministry, Front Line Assembly and Nine Inch Nails.

Why does Finland love heavy metal?. Top Story - July 2026.
Welcome to Finland Explained’s first edition, where we focus on understanding Finland through its many faces. Today, I am trying to understand a new aspect of Finland, new to me, at least: Finnish metal music. Be aware that I am not a metal music expert. I am not even a metal fan; although I have to confess a few of these bands surprised me. I am only curious, perhaps as curious as you are reading this article. It all started after a friend of mine who lives on the other side of the world (hello, Oriana!) spoke so enthusiastically about Finnish metal bands —she’s a big fan!— I felt this was something worth exploring if I want to understand how one of the quietest countries in the world happens to be one of the loudest.

Feline Like A Song
Introduction I was not sure that I had already done and looking through my stories I don't think I have. I didn't think there were that many songs that related to cats apart from those from Disney films and "Love Cats" by The Cure, but then I started to remember that there was quite a lot in my collection. The beat generation referred to the cool ones as cats so there may be a few where the feline referral is more than a little ambiguous.
