my name is riku and i live in helsinki, funland.
i'm nineteen years old, and i'm into photography and my favorite film is hedwig and the angry inch.
i've loved patrick's music since, umm, spring 2003? i've seen him live in stockholm twice, and i've once met him. last time i saw him was last friday at södra teatern, and the gig was incredible.
i'm not sure what other things i should tell you. you can always ask.
? riku

my favorite film is hedwig and the angry inch. Snap! I love Hedwig and The Angry Inch - the songs are divine, and the dialogue is the closest to perfection I've ever known. Welcome to the messageboard! Cheerio, Michael. xxx |

Hello there.
What type of photography do you do? I love photography and use it as my main medium in my fine art practice!
You are so lucky to have seen Patrick so many times, and met him.
Hope you enjoy the forum! have fun.

Excellent, you have some great artists for inspiration.
I've just checked out the website actually and I'm very impressed! Have you heard of Nan Goldin? I knowher subject matter is probably very different to yours, but they have a real domesticity about them whilst almost being totally surreal...did that make sense? I guess not, but there is definitely something comforting about your images, as if you give us a view into someone elses life?
It really is great work.

It really is great work. thank you, it's always a pleasure hearing people's opinions of my photographs. i should take more pictures, but i'm really skint so i can't really afford to take them to be developed.. but yeah, i've heard of her. she's good, but i'm not really fond of her. i don't know why. but yes, she is a really good photographer.  |

i've seen the film like gazillion times, and i never get tired of it. <3 <3 Me neither - the dialogue is note perfect, and the songs would have been incredible on their own, as a band's album, but within the context of a 'rock and roll musical' (which by their very nature tend to be the naffest things in existence) they're incredible. 'Our apartment was so small, that mother made me play in the oven. Late at night I would listen to the voices of the American masters, Tony Tennille, Debby Boone, Anne Murray who was actually a Canadian working in the American idiom. And then there were the crypto-homo rockers: Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, David Bowie who was actually an idiom working in America and Canada. These artists, they left as deep an impression on me as that oven rack did on my face. To be an American in muskrat love, soft as an easy chair not even the chair, I am I said, have I never been mellow? And the colored girls sing... doo do doo do doo do doo... but never with the melody. How could I do it better than Tony or Lou... HEY BOY, TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE!'. That whole section, coupled with Hedwig and Hansel spinning around inside the oven, is possibly the most perfect thing I have ever known to exist. Cheerio, Michael. xxx |

oh, another Architecture in Helsinki fan.
that whole album named "In Case We Die" is wonderful, if you can stand the special silly sound.
The album before that is good too, "Fingers Crossed".
I hope they head for europe after the US tour.
