So yes fucking people! The Win is Won! Oujea!

How to begin then.. Today at about 01.15 PM I got a call from Göran Dahlgren, the “manager” and father of the band called So Long Sisters ( www.myspace.com/solongsisters ), he told me that we had won the Garage Countdown competition at the Voice’s TV channel! Huu-fucking-ray!

Back in June 2009, me and Ramedus shot a video for So Long Sisters to the song called Behind Empty Eyes (the song is produced by the great Jimmy Westerlund). We sent the video to a competition called Garage Countdown that is mastered by the TV-channel and Radio channel called Voice over here in the nowadays very freezing Jesus-wise crazy shitty cold Finland.

During the long gone autumn people have been able to vote for their favourite “no-record-deal-no-budget-mega-money” video of this autumn of 2009. And about a week ago 10 of the vids were chosen for a gigantic final. Today the grande finale was held at the Voice’s own TV channel, and a jury had chosen the best video of this autumn, and the winner was us! Yeah!

And the prize, I hear an elephant covered in question marks of the past shouting, well the prize is that the band are going to the TV studio for an interview, they are going to play a show later next year hosted by Voice and last but not fucking least, the video is to be shown at least 25 times on the telly during the winter, so it’ll become sort of a repertoir-video (french word for monkey) for some weeks. And Tage says, Awesome!

And just minutes before all of this happened, I got a call from the web magazine called peppar.fi ( www.peppar.fi ), the want to do a small interview with me next week..! And I say, any sort of promotion is for the good, or is it? Well at least this one is..

They are asking me some questions on promotional shooting and future projects, and I’d love to tell them all about it. So hope for the the best during the beginning of next week. It’ll be all “Red Hot Tage Peppar.fi” or something.. And of course I’ll hit you with the link as soon as the thing is done and submitted to the internet.

Noting else this friday night no? This night has been all about video winning celebration and the planning of 2 or 3 upcoming video-shoots! That’s it for now. And if you have absolutely nothing to ponder upon for your up n’ coming 4 minutes you can check out the winning video on my “videos” button or hit the following link…
