PlanD from outer space

A friend and collegue of mine Arto Lehtiniemi has a band that he's putting a lot of effort into in his free time. Pland has now released their first album "Things she said" which you can listen to on their website and order for yourself for 4 euros + 2,25 for shipping.

I haven't had yet time to listen to their full album but I've liked the songs I've heard already previously. At least "I talk to myself" rocks nicely, has nice melody and catching tunes. So I can recommend checking this out, you can listen to the songs for free online and even if you end up buying the album bit over 6 euros really isn't too bad.

Arto has recorded the album at his home studio and I have to say it sounds really professional. If you need to use a studio in Tampere area you can book some studio time too.

Pland has also appeared in some podcast via the Podsafe music network (e.g. I talk to myself). I might have had something to do with this. :) Basically the idea is that artist can give podcasters permission to play their songs in podcasts and get new listeners that way. The network also makes it possible to sell your songs online if you wish.

Commenting disabled

Sorry I had to disable commenting on this blog a while ago because I was receiving only spam comments and since I haven't been too active in blogging it was too much a bother to do anything about it. Let's see if I have enough energy one day to install a plugin for Movable Type to combat the comment spam. Meanwhile if you want to give me feedback please mail your comments to hrry (at) iki dot fi.

I'm also receiving trackback spam though those won't show up in the blog getting notifications about them to my email is irritating. I don't even know about any method to fight that annoyance. I guess being a blogger isn't very easy, at least if your hosting your own blog.

P.S. This post has been written with Windows Live Writer. That's an excellent piece of software that makes writing blog posts much easier. It's pretty much like using Word instead of a web form.
