Helsinki Pride 2009

  • Jun. 29th, 2009 at 6:53 PM
On friday we returned to Finland to visit some friends in Helsinki. On saturday we participated to Helsinki Pride 2009.


At noon people are starting to gather to The Senate Square (Senaatintori).


Bought that bear flag from Copenhagen.


After the parade at the Hakasalmi park.


People at the park.


Some video from the Pride. Our 1 second of fame at 1:40 mins ;)

Was nice. More pics and some words in Finnish here.

Flew back home yesterday.

København

It's the first part of our summer vacation. Last monday we took the flight to Copenhagen. The weather was just right and the city looked nice. Mostly we walked around the city centre and looked for sights.







One day we took a canal tour which was cool.




The hippie city Christiania was a bit disappointment.


Took only one short trip with metro.


Of course I had to buy some Danish music so I finally bought me the first eight Savage Rose albums (spanning the years 1968-1973). They didn't cost that much either, which was nice.

We also visited couple of gay bars of which Jailhouse felt most comfortable.

Quark, strangeness and charm

  • Jun. 17th, 2009 at 5:01 PM

Released simultaneously with the new BQ album was this one:

* Vega Stereo: Quark (2009) (cd-r)

Long suite of hypnotic ambient landscapes, electronic minimalism and relaxed floating through soft spaces of colors – created with vintage analog synthesizers.

Oh, I love this one already! Makes me green with envy I cannot do anything like this.

BQ #6

The sixth BQ album is out! It's called "Void, Oh The Void" and it includes only one 44 minute track.

Again, the album is released on the Luovaja label and the price (including postage) is 4 € within Finland and EU and 6 $ elsewhere.

BQ is now also at myspace.com. There's one short snippet audible from the new album and also some older tracks. The new sample is also available at last.fm.
