      <title>Black Audio: Catapult</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/arttu/posts/text/159549</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Black Audio's Catapult will be released on August 15th. We are releasing it through our won label, with distribution by <a href="http://www.playgroundmusic.fi/Global/Articles.aspx?ProductId=MUP%204">Playground</a>. Their promotion got off to an excellent start as the record was chosen as album of the week for <a href="http://www.yle.fi/ylex/index.php?id=10830">YLE X X-Ryhmä</a> and album of the month for <a href="http://www.yle.fi/ylex/index.php?id=1960">Kitarama</a> on the same channel. 

In other news, summer gigs are more or less done. Black Audio will hit the road in mid-September for a five gig tour of Finland. Fat Beat Sound System is playing at the closing ceremonies of Porvoo's legendary Bar Mary. The Giant Robot collective is working on two albums simultaneously. Insanity.]]></description>

      <title>Tonight's show...</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/arttu/posts/text/37659</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Tonight's Kuudes linja show will probably include a wide variety of ass-kicking. I'm especially looking forward to Trio A and a probably dj set by Art Barf-Uncle... Finland plays Canada tonight for the hockey world championship. I don't really give a shit, but it'll be interesting to see how that impacts tonight and what happens.

Losing to Sweden in the finals is always the best. It seems to have a very healthy effect, like a serrated blade in the ribs of cultcha. Alas, it can't be this time.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Have you noticed how you never run into those UNDER CONSTRUCTION sites anymore? What happened? Is that a 20th century phenomenon? Is it not compatible with the brave new world of web2.0 with all its reflections and stuff?

I don't know.

I know this site is under construction. Had I been fully aware of all the info you can input here, I might've started a little earlier. Inputting almost 15 years of released albums with a wide variety of bands is surprisingly time-consuming and insanely boring.]]></description>
