Well, I've seen it coming slowly over the past couple of years, the
scene has grown cumulatively here in Finland in the past six months...
it's a goddamn shame ! Every punk from every damn hicktown is diggin on
Blueboy and Jamiroquai today, which gets to me, really. I remember the
days when techno went really pop few years back and the quality of the
music dropped way down, hope the same phenomenon doesn't hit aj
musicians that hard. =A3 & $ rule the world and that's it... guess this
coming summer aj will hit heavily on the dance charts (and hopefully
gets back 'underground' for the next winter ;) I just came across a
rockabilly dude, whom I discussed music with for some time, a good
conversation really until he realised that I dug aj and bb, and started
dissin me for being 'trendy' and shit ! Man, I felt like punching his
face in and pissing on him, I was *this* close, but I didn't do anything
because it wouldn't have helped anything, hope this 'trend' quiets down
quickly, don't want to get in trouble because of people like that ...;)
