Ville`s favourtes in NYt-Mag
In the NYt-Magazine from 08/16/05 which is a weekly entertainment-supplement of Helsingin Sanomat, they have this report. In those they ask different artists which are his/her three favorite records at the moment, and on the recent issue it's Ville:
" Turbonegro: Party Animals”
- This has wild shamelessness: borrowing Alice Cooper's riffs and singing about gay-paradise.
“Rhythm & Sound: See Mi Yah”
- This record has the same beat ten songs in a row. Pretty heavy-sounding and modern dub-music. I've been listening quite a lot of this kind of music, it's so far from the kinda stuff i make myself.
“Kate Bush: Hounds of Love”
- My friends have been praising Kate Bush to me for 15 years, and now i've finally found her. When we were mixing our new album in New York, i always put this on in the hotel room at the end of the day. It's music from Mars, somewhat otherworldly."
Dark Light in Japan
H.I.M.'s new album "Dark Light" will be released in Japan on October 26, 2005.

Well, there is not that much to say about. Ville stayed there about 15 minutes, besides some  smalltalk they were talking about the new album and the new songs. Also “Wings of a Butterfly” could be heard on the German Radio for the first time. As it was hard to understand for all non Germans we translated a little bit of what 1Live said about the time with Ville for you. Click here to enjoy some screencabs and Ville in the studio. |
