1. There’s a new Future Gravity song Sweet Libertine available. In case you don’t know Future Gravity, it’s the new project by former ultrasport member Juho Kosunen. Päivi Kankaro from TV-Resistori is sharing the lead vocals on Sweet Libertine. It’s a great song and you can download it from Future Gravity website

Räkärodeo mailing list provided some great news yesterday. Australian The Blackeyed Susans is about to release a box set in late october. It looks like it will be two dics of their greatest songs, one disc of rarities and a DVD. A must have box set even though I have most of the albums (I dont’ have Shangri-La, missed it when it came out and soon after that the prices in places like amazon have been ridicilous). It’s a really amazing band like fellow Räkärodeo listeners all know. If there ever was a contest of who has the greatest voice on the planet, Rob Snarski wouldn’t need to go through the qualifying stages. The organizing panel would give him a guaranteed place in the final before the whole thing would have even started.
