  1. Listening to Ø and what appears as an early version of Atomit (Niels Bohr Edit) but is called Sahko Movie Soundtrack on Sähko Rec. Cat.No. 006.12. I feel numb, and I'm not. Bittersweetness of letting go.

    As I press myself to the vibrating wall, a pair of Meyer Sound HD-1 do their best to shake my lungs. Almost into the red zone, breaking the evening's silence. Outside the window, late capitalism's ruins glow like Cherenkov radiation eery in the winter night. Fuck capitalism.

    Tears dry then rush again as the moody atmosphere shifts, the deep bass giving back a sense of living in a body, sensations of modulating acidic swirls. Fuck heteronormativity.

    Today is a gift.
    That‘s why it‘s called present.

  2. #JeNeDiraisPasQue #MikaVainio fait de la musique d'ascenseur ferroviaire mais pour faire la sieste dans le train, c'est parfait.

  4. Miten Mika Vainion taiteilijanimi Ø luetaan? Olen sen tässä kirjoittanut merkillä "latin capital letter O with stroke" niin kuin tehdään Vainion omalla veppisivulla ja Wikipediassa. Se olisi siis lähinnä norjalainen ö. Kirjastossa levyt aakkostetaan ö:hön.

    Mutta haluaisin ajatella, että Vainiolla oli tarkoituksellisen moniselitteistä nimeä keksiessään mielessään enemmän tyhjä joukko, jonka samannäköinen merkki on ∅, "empty set".

    @phinnweb käyttää Vainio-tekstissään ensin mainittua merkkiä.

    Onko asiasta olemassa virallista tietoa?

  7. So happy to have seen the guy in action again. Of course sadly missing #MikaVainio from #PanSonic by his side physically, but maybe in spirit. But #IlpoVäisänen kicked ass.
