Comment:

Sorry about my English again, but i try to tell something...


BEFORE

It was in the beginning of the 90's. I met my best friend (Ville).
We spend a lot of time together, almost everyday. We Played with a toys and things, OK I were 3yr's and he was 6yr's.
Well, time hurried up, and I started to dig music, I were about 12.

BUT, what is the important thing is that i did know nothing about music. I just listened it every now and then.
It all started when my friend bought OK COMPUTER by: Radiohead. We listened it about 3 times around in one day.
That really were a cool thing!

Ok, again we can go forward a year or two.
In the age of 14 I think I really figured out the music. Bought every Radiohead album (Of Course).
My mate played me a Mogwai's - Rock Action & Slint's - Spider Land. I know these albums were a start of my music journey.
It were the most beautiful time ever in my life. I can remember the x-mas eve, when i listened Sigur R=s, Mogwai, and M·m. (3 my favorite bands before).
I just lived in a some kind of "fantasy & magic world".

Thank you god! I can't say any more. I'm just happy and thankful, for that I met my friend.
He have introduce a music for me, Mogwai, Radiohead, Slint, Nick Cave, and and thousand other artists.
That was a start for my music life, my life.


NOWADAYS

I'm 18 soon 19. My friend is 22.
The Thing why I'm a very depressed often...Ok, I can explain:
I have a band nowadays, with my other friends and I spend a lot of time with playing.
That is not the problem, but that affects.

Ville, is still my best friend and I'm very worried about him. I know he thinks that he is leaved aside.
He drinks alcohol very much nowadays, and smokes. Not be interested in any ports, or even airing.
This sounds so normally, but Ville really is in a bad condition.
I can't say many words about it, but i hope you all understand what it is all about.


This mix is done a bit by bit about everything what Ville have ever played for me.

Honour for him.

This is a beautiful mix--one of your best--both in its content and in its sentiment. I have a friend just like him who is finally getting out of those habits and he's 38. I wish him luck and congratulate you on a lovely gesture.

Hope Ville finds himself, he's lucky to have a good friend such as yourself! Whilst I detest Radiohead with a vengeance, I know many many people who rate them as highly as yourself, the rest of the mix however, is quite superb.

it's sad when time and "growing up" causes friends to grow apart. hope things work out and that you guys can stay close as you journey through life. really nice mix too, by the way.
