Don’t worry…it’s in English

Nice little article. Sounds very happy. ENJOY!

Glad I am to see the boys back in action! I must confess…this song is stuck in my head. And the video makes me think there must be more to this story. I wonder what that next one will be??

All I have to say is hair dye must be consumed in vast quantities in Finland…

Enjoy!

Here is it people Living in a World without You!

Let it never be said that Finns do not have a sense of humour. Over the last few months The Rasmus have been posting some rather odd videos…involving a bear getting a bike and have fun in the snow. Go watch….

Nalle and the bike

Nalle has fun in the snow

So the recently Nalle found his way into Dynasty Recordings and had a bit of a spy on Lauri. At about 55 seconds in you get a quick snippet of one of the new songs.

So all I have to say is nice acting Lauri..and who the hell is in the suit!?

He turns 29 today. Lauri got a very special birthday present in the past couple weeks, his first son! Congratulations to him and Paula of PMMP!

Lauri thanked everyone for the birthday wishes on The Rasmus’s Myspace page

“thank you all very much for remembering my birthday! A year has gone by
soooo fast. I will be celebrating it today with my new born son!! See you
soon on the festivals.” lauri

Hi everybody!We’ve had a really busy spring, putting the album together with the guys. These “last minute” ideas and fixes have become come very important for the Black Roses album, so all the waiting is worth it! For example we brought this eight years old song idea back to life. It’s a duet song. I got a wild idea to ask the Nightwish singer Anette Olzon to sing it together with me. I called her and she said YES! So good things come for those who wait. Were getting there!

ps. Prepare yourselves for the greatest murder ballad in a while!!!

Girl,
You lived your life like a wasted bum
Your turn has come
For the beer run

Girl,
Who parties like the members of Kwan
Your destiny is porcelain

Don’t fall down those stairs
And break the wine
We have no mercy

Close your eyes too much jetlag
More beer later
From dawn til dawn

Given their fondness for beer… they probably sing something like this when they’re not on stage.
Parody by Mrs. Vam & Mrs. Bebe

Posting this separately because as far as I’m aware, there is no official word on this yet.

I heard through the grapevine today that The Rasmus are planning to take a break after touring the summer festival circuit in Europe. Then they’ll go straight into the studio to work on Album #7.

This was dismaying because when I learned about their new US record label the other day, I thought for sure that the rumors about a US Fall ‘06 tour would pan out. We know of several US based bands who would be interested in a co-tour with The Rasmus. We know this because we were the little angels sitting on their shoulders whispering into their ears about this great touring idea.

So now we must keep our fingers crossed that when they’re done in the studio, they’ll come explore the rest of the North American continent to kick start their tour for Album #7.

Update: Turned out to be a red herring… they did come to tour the US on their first ever tour. And they even toured with the band we were hinting at, Kill Hannah!

I’ve been completely deaf for the past two weeks thanks to a little furry demon who chewed up my earpiece.

Today I got an old earpiece that I found re-equipped so I could use it since the new one has not yet arrived.

It was pure pleasure to get back in my car and punch on the music which started at No Fear by The Rasmus.

Audio orgasmic.
