So tell me, do the Sami drink as much as their southern neighbours?  They'd have to go some to outdrink the Finns, right enough. Maybe they do like the Mongolians who IIRC drink fermented yak's milk. Can you ferment moose milk, I wonder? ;-) +1 on this song, with all the negative comments, and kudos as ever to RP for bringing such music to my ears :) |

The puking emoticon is a file located here: http://www.radioparadise.coms/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/icon_puke.gif
The filename is icon_puke.gif, and it's location is /tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/. So to banish the puking icon, all you have to do is find a way to block that file in whatever web browser you use. In Opera, for example, you could right-click anywhere on a page that features the pukicon, select "Block content," then hold the shift key while you click the offending icon. Then click "Done." Clicking the icon without holding the shift key will block the entire /tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/ directory, which would probably block all emoticons, and any other image files located in that directory. If you use Firefox, install the Adblock Plus add-on. Navigate to a page that features the puke icon, click the stop sign with ABP in the top, right corner of your browser and select "Open blockable items" (or press Ctrl-Shift-V). Search for icon_puke.gif, right-click on it and select block. Make sure icon_puke.gif is selected in the dialog that pops up then click the Add Filter button. I'm pretty sure Ad Block is available for Chrome. I'm not sure what kind of add-on or extension capabilities Safari or Internet Explorer have, but check with any community support forums for your browser of choice to find options for blocking offensive content. |

What, from Sami? That would be a surprise, though even if it did the results would be...idiosyncratic. Machine translation's moved on amazingly since its early days, but it still only gives a 'first pass' translation and finds it really difficult to deal with metaphors and multiple meanings. It's a decent tool to get the gist of texts, but I wouldn't fancy it for songs or poetry. |

This reminds me of a softer Rhea's Obsession. Sue could sing the rings off Saturn - I'd love to hear her and the band do a duet with Mari Boine. Oh, the magic...

Yes, hauntingly repetitious, unintelligible and annoyingly uneventful. "Round" mouth-sounds made over and over don't make clever lyrics.
Maybe if I had smoked a very large peace-pipe I'd have enjoyed it more...then again, it would have to be a VERY large pipe. -Another one I could never hear again and be perfectly happy.

If you like this, then you probably like Marianne Faithfull - Broken English ... I can't say anything good about either song. Oh! Except that they aren't played much! YaY !! |

I'm surprised at the low ratings on this one. I find it rythmic, unusual and interesting.

I'm in a thatched mud-walled hut. It is dark. Everybody is drunk and their feet are pounding on the earthen floor in rhythm to the chanting chorus. Oops. Wrong continent. So tell me, do the Sami drink as much as their southern neighbours? |
