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 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. |

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. |

Alas. bablefish.com will translate it for you. |

| Exhack | Posted: Jan 02, 2011 - 13:32 Vile, headache-inducing monotony. |
| TJS (Denver) | Posted: Sep 29, 2010 - 14:38 If this song were 2 minutes long I would really like it. |
| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Sep 29, 2010 - 14:35 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... |
| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Jul 27, 2010 - 14:58 Up from 7 to 8. The more I hear it, the more I like it - it sets a mood that puts me into a lovely, mellow slipstream...    |
| zipper | Posted: Jul 19, 2010 - 12:49 I do wish the emoticon o' puke would disappear from the library. |
| bxd_tech | Posted: Jul 19, 2010 - 12:49 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. |

| Hey_Now19 | Posted: Jul 19, 2010 - 12:43 It's 12:45pm PST and it's still too early for this track on a Monday... |
| zipper | Posted: Jul 19, 2010 - 12:43 Beautiful, and I love the way it builds. |
| lmic (Harmless Little Bunny) | Posted: Jun 25, 2010 - 17:56 Bill, brill segue from Emily Jane White - Bessie Smith. Very creative! |
| MayBaby (Savannah, Georgia) | Posted: Jun 17, 2010 - 16:03 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 !! |
| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Jun 06, 2010 - 18:24 When I first heard this, I thought it was Rhea's Obsession! I like it.  |
| Sodak_Scott | Posted: May 27, 2010 - 13:48 Cool stuff, I like different provocative music |
| MojoJojo (Indianapolis, IN USA) | Posted: May 27, 2010 - 13:48 For some reason I feel the urge to go play with a yo-yo.  |
| Stefen (West Hollywood, CA) | Posted: May 27, 2010 - 13:48 I'm surprised at the low ratings on this one. I find it rythmic, unusual and interesting. |
| westslope (BC coast) | Posted: Apr 27, 2010 - 09:07 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? |
| F1 (Pacific NW...gotta get back to Chicago) | Posted: Apr 27, 2010 - 09:04 I give it a solid 1. |
| jkhandy (Near the ocean (in my mind)) | Posted: Apr 25, 2010 - 21:00 Bring on more...yes! |
| iTuner | Posted: Apr 23, 2010 - 04:53 Pass on this one. |

| Forest267 (Milwaukee) | Posted: Mar 22, 2010 - 14:17 Norwegian soul music? My grandparents were from Norway....wait...I'm starting to feel it.... |
| michaelgmitchell (Belleville, ON) | Posted: Mar 14, 2010 - 12:52 Wow is RIGHT! Just lllllllovin' the mix the past few hours, Bill. Thanks a bunch. Working on report cards; RP, keeping me company. All the best out there, everybody. Keep safe, be good to each other. |
| kingfish2004 (That GREAT country of Texas!) | Posted: Mar 14, 2010 - 12:49 wow! |

| mrandrew | Posted: Mar 03, 2010 - 17:42 Still love this track! |
| beerbear (Arctic Circle County, Norway) | Posted: Feb 23, 2010 - 04:31 This is a modern techno version of a sami song and and sami joik. The sami people lives in Russia, Finland, Sweden and Norway. They are parted it different groups and do not have the same language. Mari Boine speaks the north sami language. It is a myth that they all lives in the mountains with their reindeers. Just a few of them do. The rest of them lives as regular inhabitant of the countries in the north of Scandinavia. Mari Boine's father was a farmer and a carpenter. She is to day professor at the University College of Nesna in Norway. |

| nicolaluna (home.) | Posted: Feb 21, 2010 - 16:17 I can't believe I haven't heard her before. This voice arrested me in my work! Very strong and very sweet at the same time. More please! Going to look her up now. |
| Ivana (Praga caput regni) | Posted: Jan 31, 2010 - 06:27 Very good. I hear there a strong woman spirituality. Please more. |
| Shesdifferent (Just visiting this planet this is not my home) | Posted: Jan 22, 2010 - 18:04 Excellent follow up to Joni...gotta get this one from Mari...fan of hers from the early days. |
| triskele (da sout'wes'side) | Posted: Jan 10, 2010 - 11:39 interesting...my first thought upon hearing this song was that she must be aboriginal north american....then i looked at her myspace, and saw the picture, and still thought that...then i read the content of her myspace page..... very interesting... |
| sarah | Posted: Jan 10, 2010 - 11:33 What the hell...I really like it too. |
| dolfan (Kingsland, Ga./Jacksonville, Fl) | Posted: Jan 10, 2010 - 11:33 As much as I would like to like this, I can't. I'm fine with the music, really, but the droning vocalizing just isn't hitting me right. Maybe it's this stomach trouble I'm having. For now a 4. Next time maybe higher. I'll try. |
| coy (san antonio) | Posted: Jan 10, 2010 - 11:32 great beat easy to dance to i give it a 10 daboom daboom da boom daboom daboom |
| tpa29970 | Posted: Jan 10, 2010 - 11:31 I like this just fine. I smile and tap my toe. But if I only ever heard it thirteen more times, that would probably be quite enough. A man's got to know his limits. |
| glydev (Brooklyn, New York) | Posted: Dec 26, 2009 - 15:05 i'm surprised by the negative reaction by so many people. i think this music is a little different, but certainly not inaccessible. to me, this is really interesting and well done, and to some extent reminds me of Marianne Faithful's "Broken English". Listen to that and think about whether its close. This song certainly didn't merit the harsh criticism posted on this message board. |

As for my use of the term "Scandinavia", I do think that "Northern Scandinavia" is a relatively accurate geographic description of the Sami homeland. Mari is indeed from Norway, but the Sami lands encompass parts of northern Norway, Sweden, and Finland, along with a bit of Russian territory. Scandinavia,wiki |
