Junkus Minor - Trippin'

This is the opening track of our new album Inertia. Full album will be released on Compact Disc on 25th of May 2010.

We will post one track per day until the release date.

The album is a completely independent release.

The way to pack an Opel Astra with only the necessary instruments, such as the boot and a blade for a circular wood saw.

I have no idea how you found my blog (twincest), but I'm so glad you did. I love your music!!Wrote about you, hope you get another listener or two out of it :)

Thanks! Everything is so easy find in the internet you know :) We appreciate you writing about us very much!

A-TICK-TICK

A musician-friend of mine just released an album. I paid my 15€ for it, and it is a good album with brilliant music. What got me down today was that I found out that it had been downloaded illegally from the internet. I am NOT opposing the medium to bring the band closer to people nor the possibility of listening, but since they're not getting anything out of it, after paying the expensive studio-time etc., it's ever so hard to make a buck out of this. And trust me, lots of hard work, tears, sweat and elbow grease is required in this line of work.

I heard that Lady GaGa, after hitting one million downloads on Spotify, got a total of some 15 bucks out of it. LOL!!!! Now, I don't have a planetarium-hat nor some super-freaky shoes and whatnot, penises hanging out (?), so I guess it's kind of a given to admit that that is not a way sufficient enough to feed all the musicians..

Has anyone thought that if you try to make a living out of music, you kinda need the money.. If you're a dentist you wouldn't even consider operating on the patient if they had no money, so what's the difference here? This is our expertise and our way to clear the air, give soul-food, start commotion and so on. Furthermore, if an artist has to work in some shitty office for 40 hours per week to be able to pay rent for example, I'd expect him to be very tired at the end of the week, when you'd be supposed to go throw a gig or to try to drag one single creative thought from your brain to make a song. True, that creativity is a state of mind, but it's not ON all the time for gods sake and, I'd bet my left hand that the office-job will kill the creation in the artist within half a year.

In a civilized and humane world you ought to be able to choose your vocation, since we're not all suited for the same job as the other. Like, some of us prefer red and others blue.

Still, if people will go see live-shows, that'd be terrific. Now, there's a small opportunity to make some money there, but that alone, will never pay the whole band's phonebills and all.  Tough luck, I tells ya. Movin' on.

Last night we played a gig in Raahe, my home town. These are the results.

We had a great time and the afterparty with Urho Kaleva Kekkonen was quite frankly one of my bestest afterparties ever. He might be a wee bit rusty and have some bird shit on his forehead, but he is a great guy anyways!

Look what I found from the webz! We are playing something in Korjaamo, Helsinki!

This is our official gig poster. If you want one, you can send e-mail to notevenproductions (AT) gmail DOT com and we will tell you how to. The size is A3.

This is a proper way of installing a bolt to a film canister. After installation it is good. We use it as a percussive instrument. Its name is "A Day at the Grave of Karl Marx"
