Weekend 8track: Street.



This is a mix to listen to while walking thru the city during weekend.

Mixtape by Wild Belle.


Aah, finally home! Real winter madness going on. It is pouring with snow and really breezy out there and the traffic is one big mess. Now listening to this easygoing mixtape by Wild Belle and drinking some tea.



St.Petersburg in pictures.

Here are some pictures from my trip to St.Petersburg. Not that much sightseeing was done as this was a work trip.

Waiting.

Killing time at a trainstation in St.Petersburg waiting for the train that is running late (3 hours). Hope to get home soon!

Rainy Milo!


I´m on the train enjoying the free wifi by Allegro on my way to St.Pete. To kill time I´m am listening to some music of course:). Rainy Milo is really good! She´s from London and you can hear the 90´s r´n´b, hip hop and today´s pop influences on her sound. She just released her debut EP called "Limey".

St.Petersburg next week.


There will probably be some radio silence ahead next week as I am heading to St.Petersburg for a business trip tomorrow morning for the next five days. I will be going there with the train this time. It is exciting as I have not gone there by train before.

The picture is of the beautiful St.Petersburgs metro station (not my own picture).

Rush Midnight - Crush.



Video for Rush Midnight´s song "Crush" produced by Twin Shadow. Nice!

The Polaroid Exhibition.


Today I finally went to see the Finnish Museum of Photography´s exhibition "The Polaroid" that I had been longing to see for awhile. It was just as good as I had hoped it to be! So many photos that got you thinking what is the story behind the picture. Here are some of my favorite polaroids from the exhibition. Unfortunately I do not have all the names of the photographers. There was an interesting set of polaroids with pictures of guys that were asked "Why didn´t you have sex?" and their replies were written on the polaroids. I thought it was quite interesting!

I highly recommend to go and see the exhibition if you like photos as an art form. Personally I love it. It is one of my favorite art forms. More information about the exhibition on Finnish Museum of Photography´s page: http://www.valokuvataiteenmuseo.fi/en.

This was a piece done by Kari Riipinen in 1986 called "After Midnight". I think this looks very contemporary still.

Something so simple and beautiful about this piece.

I can´t remember what this was about or who´s it was but it looked interesting to me. 

Pretty legs are always cool.

I love the shoes and the glam 70´s style vibe!


I had sunglasses just like this back in the nineties when there was this grunge boom going on. Kurt Cobain had similar ones of course;).

There is beauty in simplicity.

A piece done by Vicky Lee Ragan "The Princess and the Frogs" from 1983.

This is a picture of an American classroom by Catherine Wagner. There is a biology class going on. I thought this was funny. 

This was a picture by some Finnish photographer and the I think it was part of a photo serie called "Perintö" that means inheritance in english.


There was just something interesting about this picture where a woman is sitting alone by the beach.

This is so cool! It is Ann McQueen´s piece from 1984 called the "The Double Jump".

 
This reminded me of street fashion ads and fashion spreads on magazines a couple of years ago. The style how it is done.



Noble Oak - Patience.



Kyson - Soul Person.




So nice and relaxing stuff from electronic producer Kyson. Makes me want to lay back and close my eyes.

Iberia - An Ending (Ascent).



Gorgeous song with an equally gorgeous video to match! I love the sea.

Highasakite - My Soldier.


The brilliant Highasakites new video for song "My Soldier". I really like the song and the video!I would love to see this band play live!


Oh, and this me at a visit to a supplier back in August. It´s not really a mask like on the video but I´m in the mood;).

Zola Jesus – Diamonds (Rihanna cover).




I´m not a big fan of Rihanna but this Zola Jesus cover for Rihanna´s "Diamonds" is just excellent! Happy weekend!!
