I'm the Passenger!

Today - a day of Iggy Pop and the Stoogees concert, which I am waiting quite a much. And I heard a new Damn Seagulls song: Human torch from Myspace, and it kicks ass. A "BIT" 80's but you can remember early MTV (Music TV) when it still was music tv.

Otherwise these are the weeks of ieskaites, kind of tests, for how we've learned in last half a year. Today was one. It was quite enjoyable, we had a discussion about folklore and traditional music. And my sight for those is totally different than Latvian view. Or at least they say, that Latvians don't know traditional songs, only some experts like my collagues. This seems to be something strange comparing to all the things I've learned about traditional music. So Latvian traditional (folk) music is performed and keep on going by experts, not folk.

Tomorrow we have flute "stabule" lesson, and exam. This means, we need to play 2 songs, other one should be fast and other slow. Nice, I think I will be playing something finnish as well, just to make the people realize, that even simply tunes are basicly full with cultural knowledge: I mean, for me, its easier to play tunes which implies chords which are regular to Finnish music, not Latvian, which is simply a different major/minor. We were practising polyphony in the ensemble yesterday and for me its difficult to sing with solfeges (do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do) because I've never learnt them. And think, that for the real singing it doesn't make anything... Only "help" which I've gained from music theory for my music hobbies, is a Circle of Fifths (kvinttiympyrä).

Heheh. I deleded a message from Ryanair. Kaisa called behalf of me to the Ryanair - Finland, Tampere Airport and asked is there a problem. They said no, so I will forget that also. All is fine here. How about there?
