Onnea means congratulations in finnish. And I have two persons to congratulate today:
First, I want to congratulate Eero Sipilä, Battle Beast's bassist, on his birthday!!
Paljon onnea Eero!
Then I have to congratulate Tarja Turunen, ex-Nightwish's singer, on the birth of her first child. It's everything but false!!! Go there if you don't believe me!
Had no idea of how to name this post ^^' anyway...
I started to read A Game of Thrones, by George R. R. Martin, in English of course! I've heard so much of this that I HAD to read it!!! ^^
To share a bit more with you my passion for photography and my own pictures, I made a new blog!! Don't hesitate, take a look, comment to give me your opinions about my photos (if you want to, of course ^^)... Thanks in advance!!!
Read on the weather forecast that there'll probably be snowing tomorrow here, in Germany!! =) Tomorrow is going to be cold anyway
Time to get some sleep now...
I already mentionned Blackoustic (twice ^^), and this traditionnal finnish song,
Karjalan Kunnailla... Must say it's one of the greatest lullabies I've
had ^^ Have a good night, people!!
Saw this film tonight, and I must say I loved it!! I'm not a big fan of Daniel Craig as James Bond, but I must admit he played really good in this film! Good job, mr Craig!
And the musical theme, sung by Adele, is also beautiful!
Can't help having a thought for the composer of the original James Bond theme, mr John Barry, RIP.
After Anette Olsson's departure, the line-up of Nightwish turned into this:
Tuomas Holopainen - Keyboards
Emppu Vuorinen - Guitar
Jukka Nevalainen - Drums
Marco Hietala - Bass
Troy Donockley - Bagpipes
Floor Jansen - Vocals
First, I was quite sceptical, especially when I heard her singing Scaretale.. But then, I heard her version of Higher Than Hope. And I considered this again... It's logical that she doesn't sound like Anette on the most recent songs, Floor is a lyrical singer! And her versions of the songs are nice too... I just have to get used to these ones ^^
This one is simply... WOW!!
Now, I think that it wouldn't be such a bad thing if she stays in the band... I know, I told the contrary before, but as we say in France, only the fools don't change their minds!!
I already talked about this in the beginnig of october. Blackoustic is the acoustic album of Timo Kotipelto (Stratovarius) & Jani Liimatainen (ex-Sonata Arctica). And I FINALLY got to buy it today!! :)
There are mainly covers from Stratovarius/Kotipelto solo songs, but also a Sonata Arctica cover (My Selene), and covers of 'Behind Blue Eyes', 'Rainbow Eyes', 'Out In The Fields' & 'Perfect Strangers'. Jani also wrote/compose a new song for this album, called "Where My Rainbow Ends". And the last track of the album is a traditional finnish song. It sounds almost weird to hear Kotipelto singing in his mother tongue!!! ^^
I really love this album!!! I'm a great metal fan, but acoustic music is truely beautiful too, and very relaxing!
Folk metal has many branches: 'pagan metal', 'celtic metal', and even 'Viking metal'...
But forget about all these ones, today's post is about a new subgenre, 'Pirate Metal'. It's actually folk metal music with pirate themes. And I discovered this with the Scottish band Alestorm.
Yeah, Alestorm, not 'Halestorm'. Careful, these 2 bands have NOTHING to do with each other ^^
But Alestorm isn't the only one!!! You have also Swashbuckle
And some more... I don't know all the bands ^^
Hope you'll enjoy! :)
2 things, actually. First, I changed my host family, that didn't went so well with the 1st one. So it's as if I were just arriving in Germany... ^^ New town, new school...
Second stuff: I found a new hobby: fan-arts!!! :)
Here's my very first one:
