They say, that inside the arctic circle, on summer nights the sun does not set. They call it the midnight sun.

    Los Amantes del Círculo Polar… :-)

    Ohhh Moka, gracias gracias gracias! Cuánto tiempo busqué la canción finlandesa de los Amantes… qué bueno esto de los blogs, siempre dándote sorpresas! Recuerdo esa canción como ayer, en el cine, ese momento tan preciso, esas miradas… Agradecida, Annita.

    Dado en el clavo Kitsuro y Annita. Tengo alguna coleccion de tangos finlandeses y mas de olavi virta por aqui, es sorprendente la obsesion de finlandia por el tango, en esta lista me centre mas en los gauchos pero ya pronto hago una segunda parte con selecciones finlandesas a ver si les agrada.

    Gracia.s

    Love love all your stuff. Can I ask a stupid question: Is there a way I can get the entire page to play for me without having to hit each song? I know that there is an obvious way to do this, but am clueless. Thanks again for the great tunes!

  8. Moka says:

    saludos angeles, que alegria que te hayan gustado :)

    Andy: Well Bubbachups is clearly the most dedicated when it comes to post preparation of us in the motel and he always adds streaming option at the bottom of his playlists. But for the rest of us… well I’d suggest you to visit our hypem page:

    http://hypem.com/list/343

    You can stream all of the tracks posted in here continously from there, the intended playlist order always gets a tad scrambled but it’s a good choice if you just want to play the post tunes without hitting each one individually. Hope it helps.

  9. Annita says:

    Ah, Moka, nunca supe de la tradición tanguera de Finlandia! Siempre habrá por donde curiosear… esperaré nuevos posts! ;)

    Moka, that hypem tip helps a lot! Turns out you can set up hypem to scrobble to your last.fm account!

  11. Andy says:

    yeah thanks indeed! I am still hoping to find something like the Peel mp3 blog player software — are you all familiar with it? Just too cheap to shell out the cash at the moment.

  12. Joel Shaver says:

    Hmm… Hypemachine has trouble with nonstandard bitrates, I think. The Fleet Foxes mp3 is playing at a very slow speed!

  13. Bubbachups says:

    @Andy: If you’re using Firefox you can bookmark *this* link. If you open it when viewing MdM it will automatically generate a .m3u playlist for you. It would be nicer if the embedded flash player would just continue with the next song of course but maybe this can help you out too.

    thanks bubba! that works great

The song makes its imprint
in the air, making itself felt,
a felt world. Here, there,
the stunned silence

of knowing I will not remember
what I heard;

futures that will never happen,
a fluidity we cannot achieve
except as a child
creating possibility.

This is the untranslatable song
hidden in the earth.
