Best of 2010s - Until the Water Runs Clear

My first pick for the albums of the decade is Until the Water Runs Clear by Black Casino and the Ghost.

I found this band in early 2016 when they were warming up for Kula Shaker at Roundhouse. I had just agreed to accept an offer for a job in Berlin and was packing my belongings in London. I felt sad and didn’t really want to leave, but it was such a great opportunity to be able to live in a new country that I had to take it.

This album kept my longing for London alive until I finally decided to move back. I don’t think the band has really been active recently and as far as I know their amazing singer is living in Italy nowadays. I’d be happy to hear more of their music in the future!

“A light snow is falling on London…”

I moved to London and it is snowing.

Now I need to figure out if I want to keep this rather costly domain name. It doesn’t reflect the city I live in anymore.

Oranssi Pazuzu – Lahja

In 2009 or 2010 I saw Oranssi Pazuzu for the first time at Nosturi in Helsinki, Finland. I didn’t really know their music back then. To be honest, I wasn’t too impressed. It was a quiet night. There were less than 50 people watching the show.

In April 2017 I saw them performing again, this time on the Main Stage of 013 arena at Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, Netherlands. There were probably around 2500 people watching. Quite a difference!

Everybody starts from scratch. We are not born as professionals or famous artists. We practice, we improve and we become better. Sometimes we lose our interest, sometimes we have the motivation and passion to continue until we become masters in what we do.

It might be a short walk or a lifetime journey.
