Breakfast In America

Get soft with us on saturday at Siltanen. I hope they have croissants...

Cocomotion goes Spotify!

Mixtapes are, like, the past, right? Spotify is, like, today, right? Naah, just kidding.. But since mixtapes can be a pain in the ass to make, I decided to go halfway and make a Spotify playlist for Cocomotion club. Here it is, fulla balearic goodness, dance jams and pop gems. Next time, I promise to make a mix.

Boys Of Summer

I was hanging out at the mall near by and this suddenly started playing of the PA. A perfect soundtrack for these last days of summer. Could have played it a bit louder, though.

Do the COCOMOTION!

Brand new summer, brand new club. Yours truly, Fiil Inc will be starting a monthly Balearic/pop/disco club night with Lauri Soini a.k.a. 80's Cop at Nolla Baari. So if youre in town (Helsinki that is) next friday (22nd May) be sure to come and say hi. And enjoy the raw power of really smooth music. Maybe something on the lines of this:

It's all Tres Bien

I almost forgot to remind you of this: Yours truly, along with Top Billin' dudes Nenis & Fiskars, plus boogie and disco connoisseurs Pablo and Kalle will be deejaying in this fresh new club nite called Tres Bien. It's in Kuudes Linja, Hki on saturday 28th March.

Mixing it all together: the chocolate (boogie & disco) with the mayonaise (AOR & new wave), myself providing more of the latter. See you there!

New Kriton Bangers From The Kriton Bangers

I guess we just dropped out the "High School" out of our name recently. No particular drama there, we just kinda moved on from high school to other levels of education.

We've been putting some new s**t on tape as they say and we'll be putting that material out any day now, so beware. We've got some electro-influenced stuff and some AOR-sampling sweetness to come. Here's a clue in the form of a video, you might be getting something like this transformed into the year 2008... Just wait...

And we gotsta leak the working titles for all you fanatics: The songs area titled "Torcha!" and "Someone To Feed".

Prins Thomas and the t-shirt of the year

Norwegians do it better!
(btw this dude is coming to Helsinki in a few weeks)

Never Surrender

Ahh, a real 80's cheese pop classic to warm up the cold september days. Corey Hart's "Never Surrender". The video also looks SO Canadian it hurts.

My Love Is "Your Love"

The guys from Outfield must be happy as hell. They are a pretty unknown one hit AOR/pseudo-new-wave wonders from London, who hit gold with their second single Your Love in 1985. And then pretty much everybody forgot about them.

But come the 2000's, the song was resurrected: by GTA Vice City's soundtrack, various cover versions (the best of them being B.O.B.'s "Use Your Love" but also even Katy Perry made a version) and of course dozens of Bmore remixes. You've heard them. And the saga just continues: The Inc's secret weapon, top notch r&b crooner Lloyd (remember: Get It Shawty, You, the hella good last single Girls Around The World) interpolates "Your Love" in "Lose Your Love", a track on his new album "Lessons In Love". And that's good, even if Lloyd doesn't capture the original's infectious high school party vibe. Instead he gives the chorus a good old bedroom r&b treatment... see for yourself.

oh and BTW, The Outfield is still together!

Air Guitar Heroes Wanted

Now it's time to show your moves and win an autographed Mick Jones Les Paul Custom Gibson guitar. Just send a clip of yourself rocking out and playing air guitar to Foreigner here.

Rock out with your c**k out!

Toto breaks up

And we're all sad. I haven't seen them live these past years, so I can't say if they still rocked, but their legacy still rocks.
