Finnish Metal Band Mätäpaise Runs Over Budget

After recording their first album, Mätäpaise has been busy touring Finland, but no album to sell at the festivals. Just a free download at the band website.

Frontman Roope explains that the songs are all edited and sent out to press  CDs and get into Finnish iTunes. But they ran over budget. They have to use the only promotional photo available. "We have some smart phone photos I took and I had my girlfiend take a few, but nobody liked them." The cover art will just have the photo above with a grim reaper set in behind as a back drop. Roope was looking at clip art. His brother Jorma has Photoshop. But with this one clip art it looked  really dorky:

There needs to be some more white in the back to use it. Roope left it to Jorma to figure it out and email him the art ASAP. Otherwise they will just have to sell the disc (plain black, no text) with Mätäpaise written on the jewel case in magic marker.

God Bless America!

My pal Kari, he’s a good guy, asked me to write about America. I don’t read his blog so I have no idea what is there. Probably the usual liberal dribble. He does his own yard work, so he is not some kid yuppie. He lives on my street.

Anyway, with 4th of July coming tomorrow, I have to say we needed a cheerful celebration. I am 100% behind President Trump on this. If he talks about himself, that’s OK, I don’t care. Most of us, you and me, have already made up our minds.

Them foreigners wanting to come to our country, some of them are assimilated (I knew how to spell that!) later on in future generations. But I don’t really want them voting in their lifetime. We could just give them citizenship in the coffin, so they don’t have to pay death taxes. Or their kids of course. But they would just vote for Democrats, who are weak on crime, want open borders and won’t spend a few billion constructing a fence at least, a good barrier it takes some work to cut through. I don’t want them illegals here. I don’t care how they deal with drugs and other crime at the border.

I also don’t have a problem with foreigners legally here as long as they learn English, and their kids can go to school and become good Americans. They should try Christianity.

I’ll be getting Fourth of July supplies at Wal Mart soon. I get the meat and the stuff we grill and the beer at the liquor store cause we don’t just drink Bud Light like you people think we do. I had an IPA the other day, and my wife links hard cider. I wear a concealed pistol at all times when I leave the house. I’m not telling you where I keep it.

God Bless America!
