So, if you weren’t on this earth last month – Adam Lambart had a huge violent fight with his boyfriend in Finland’s biggest and most famous gay club DTM. Well, now he is on the Ellen Degeneres. So now he’s “Juicing and exercising.” Ok, then.

Video Premiere: “W.O.W.” by Architecture In Helsinki
1We like anything with Helsinki in the title.
Video Premiere: “The Comet Song” by Bjork
2Bjork‘s new album might not be anywhere to be heard, but she is working hard with the movie revival of the famous Finnish cartoon The Moomins. This is the video and song off of the soundtrack of the movie we are dying to see. If you grew up in the 90s’ you’ll know what we are talking about.
Finnish show does Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance”
1Free Download: “We Shall Burn Bright” by Husky Rescue
One of our favorite ambient-pop bands is ready to release a new album. In a bid to promote it Husky Rescue have offered a guilt-free download of one of the tracks. The song is called “We Shall Burn Bright” and it’s a slight departure from their previous efforts but is equally as scrumptious. More news on the album coming up.
Finland makes internet access a human right!
1
Finland understands the potential of information and the access to it. Therefore, one of our favorite countries stepped up to introduce a law that would make it mandatory for every citizen to have a physical connection to the internet of at least 1 Mbps speed. Yes, you read it right. It’s a requirement by law and if that’s not enough, by 2015, everybody should have a connection that is 100 Mbps or faster. That doesn’t mean that the people will not pay for it, it just means that every person has the right to have a connection whenever they want to. Now, that’s what we call progress!
Whitney Houston will tour Europe soon!
1
Whitney Houston is actually going full-on with I Look To You. She is embarking on a tour of Europe early 2010. The tour starts in April with an extensive tour in the UK. Then Whitney moves on to Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Belgium. Surely France dates will be added and, maybe, Italy and Spain. But, if it sells out additions are expected, as always. We hope she’s in top form even as most critics are saying that her voice is not the same. Sometimes she speaks instead of singing, don’t you think?
Nokia to release a laptop called Booklet 3G
7
Yes, Nokia has gone and done it. They are tapping into the laptop market with this mini-”booklet” that is supposed to be coming to a store near you in the future. It’s called a the Booklet 3G and it has a 10.1-inch display. But it will have a high resolution, apparently. Also, you can put a SIM card in it, which should make for a great marriage between a laptop and a phone. I might just ditch Blackberry and go back to Nokia. You know my love for everything Finnish.
Design: The Aalto Vase
2
Recently I have been obsessed with everything Finnish. So, for the next couple of days I am bombarding you with how fabulous the Fins are. This is called an Aalto Vase (or a Savoy Vase as wiki would say) and it is the unique design by Alvar Aalto and his wife who doesn’t share his last name and is uncredited. It shape comes in different colors and sizes and there’s a store wholly dedicated to it. I got one white vase and a magnet and a ice maker. It’s quiet an investment though, but you on get quality from the Fenno-Scandi peninsula as I came to find out.
