Well, not really as I suck at dancing so I can't really remember when the last time was I actually joined a dance floor. It must have been when I was still doing ballet.... or wait when I used to go to bar dancings 3 or 4 times a week.
But of course I am not talking about that. I am refering to this song of Bjork Dancer in the dark which was covered by the rasmus a few years ago.
This january it is ahum 9 years ago I discovered this Finnish band (their songs ffffalling & heartbreaker were on kiss.fm almost every hour so it was really hard to miss them ;) ). I dont consider myself a groupie or an overreacting screaming fan, but I really enjoy their music. It brings back some really good memories I have from living in Kokkola and Vaasa and while being in Tampere and Helsinki. As tomorrow is their fifteenth anniversary being a band I have been listening to these old tracks on youtube this morning. I dont really recommend it to do this while concentrating on an essay, but still I am in a the rasmus mood this morning. :)
Yesterday, I went to the Free Record Shop to ask them for their new cd that comes out tomorrow.
http://www.therasmus.com/start.php?site=home&lang=en I was hoping they could order it for me. When I asked them about the new cd I got some strange looks. I know not everyone likes them, but I do. The Free Record Shop is not planning to order the cd any time soon, so I think I will have a look on cdon.com:

One thing I want to share with you still. One of their first singles. I think it doesnt sound to good, but heh they were 14 or so. Still the text is extremely funny. They sing about being in love and friendship.

Et oo koskaan sanonut mulle rakas
(raakaas..)
Et oo koskaan sanonut että sä välität
(vääliitäät...)
Sä tiedät että mä tykkään susta
(minä tykkään sinustaa-aa...)
Ja että ihan millon vaan sä luokseni tulla saat
Pom, pom, pom
Mä luulin löytäneeni oman mussukan
Sulle korvaan kuiskasin: "Hei Rakkaimpain."
Sä sanoit mulle: "Hei Pauri ystäväin.."
Katsoit silmiin ja näytit näin.
En oo koskaan sanonut sulle pahasti
Vaan hyvästi
En oo koskaan oikein ees riidellytkään
(riidellytkään...)
Mä haluaisin olla sulle enemmän
(olla sulle enemmän...)
Tiedäthän että sinusta välitän
(välitän...
)
Pom, pom, pom
Mä luulin löytäneeni oman mussukan..
