#PerTjernberg and #ArchimedesBadkar - "Morning, Morning" (2020)

Nothing but an earnest, straight forward cover of #TheFugs' very best song ever. Look out for the expanded reissue of this 6-year old Archimedes Badkar album (+ 2 discs of bonus 70s material) due out on the ReR Megacorp label next month.

Going for a double bill today with @loewe’s #MondayCovers and @HailsandAles’s #BlackMetalMonday.

👥 Walg
💿 III
🎶 Mourning Palace (cover)
🔗 https://musiccloud.io/TKb2d0_H

Walg (translated; Disgust) makes modern melodic black metal and wear their inspiration on their sleeves. While at the same time, properly leaning in to what the Dutch language has to offer for extra growling noises. After finally seeing them live this weekend, they deserve more recognition. Added bonus is that they are from #Groningen, my hometown.

@Tecumseh An excellent version!

For many Finns, this George Harrison classic is perhaps better-known as the 1989 hit version recorded by a Finnish group, the Clifters:

The Clifters: Elekieltä (live version, 1989)

Musically, this version is closer to the original Beatles recording than Nina Simone's take, but the Finnish-language lyrics by Jaana Rinne are completely different.

The leader of the Clifters, Jiri Nikkinen, later formed his own Beatles tribute band, which does true-to-the-original versions of the whole Beatles repertoire.

It's mostly forgotten now, but for a brief period during the mid-sixties, my old hometown Hämeenlinna was known as "the Liverpool of Finland". The most popular and also most original musical artist to come out of the town was Irwin Goodman, but there were quite a few others as well.

One of these acts was a beat group called Eddy & the Lightnings. The flip side of their second single was a version of a Clint Ballard Jr. composition called "You're No Good", with Finnish-language lyrics by Matti Sortila and Orvokki Itä (which was a pseudonym for the profilic old-school songwriter Reino Helismaa).

Eddy & the Lightnings: Olet paha (1964)

The video clip is great fun, as it was filmed on location in Hämeenlinna, apparently during the winter of 1964/65, as there is snow on the ground and the group members seem to be freezing.

The highlights include a ride on an escalator, which may have been the first in town, and playing on the wing of Hanssin Jukka, an old DC-2 airplane, which was located next to the bus station and used as cafeteria at the time.
