SR V: To boldly go where no room has gone before

OK, less than usually forgettable and tacky AOR song, plus The Shattered Fortress, which alternates between likeability and oh dear almost impressively frequently.

Dream Theater real-time analysis:

A Nightmare To Remember was not bad. The choral keyboards are v. generic and the band sometimes did and often didn't use sound effects very well... the car crash was particularly Microsoft Powerpoint... and somehow they managed to mess up growling (I didn't think you could do that...). Still, a decent piece, though I can cleverly remember none of it.

Huomenta ihmiset  Kurkkuun sattuu niin pirusti  There's a Finnish good morning to you just to amuse James

Huomenta, Pekka! What happened to your throat?

I'd try Finland. Finland isn't really a part of Scandinavia according to quite a few. Not the same ancestry, language history etc. Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland are the "true" Scandinavian countries.  Quite true. Finnland is closer to Rus' origins than Scanian ones.  Sure they, have their Scandinavians there as well but most of those originate from Sverige. Yes. Finno-Ugric (pronounced /ˌfɪnoʊˈjuːɡrɪk/) is a group of languages in the Uralic language family, comprising Finnish, Estonian, Hungarian and related languages. It comprises the Finno-Permic and Ugric language families. Is that why there's a Finnish band called Magyar Posse?

Actually there's a Finnish band called Magyar Posse, because they drink a lot of Magyar. Seriously this is what I've heard.

Pekka, miten vitussa sinä onnistut käymään kaikilla keikoilla joissa minun kaveri käy?

::collapses from disorientation:: 

Wow, yes they are. I can see the outer parts as the same but it gets more blue towards the center.

Okay guys, tomorrow I'm leaving with my class-mates for one night to a ......(still not sure how it's called), so don't start to cry that you're missing me, okay?

I will be taking my MP3 loaded with a zillion Zappa songs, one Magma song, and a whole bunch of others varying from Hard Rock, Folk Rock, Pop, Alt. Rock, Prog, Funk and Jazz. Though I doubt I will even listen to half of it, we're supposed to be 'working' almost the entire day.

No I'm not!

I didn't.

You must be mistaken.
