KNAC is a strange method for helping me focus on work. Basically it is a wall of noise that blots out distractions - it IS, as they say, "the loudest dot com on the planet". But it works. You don't often get to understand what the songs are about as they can tend to be wall-of-sound guitars with singers gargling scrap iron. One non-exception is a current favourite of mine where they mix male incomprehensible-growl with female beauty on "Wish I Had An Angel".

I wish I had an angel

For one moment of love

I wish I had your angel

Your Virgin Mary undone

I`m in love with my lust

Burning angel wings to dust

I wish I had your angel tonight

I used good old Google to find out that the band were NightWish and so ended up at http://www.nightwish.com. Hey, a Helsinki-based band! Went there for Big Holiday so positive feelings already, even before you see the band.
Tarja Turunen - babe! I found most amusing her thoughts on "Place you'd like to go:Exotic, small island somewhere far, far away. No tourism, no Finns. Only silence." I remember being in the middle of Finland thinking "my god, it's bloody quiet here" - although you could get a fantastic mobile phone reception!

I must find out what "Perrrkkkele" means...

I LOVE this fanart - they look just sooo non-threatening  :-)
