Last-minute ballot influence bid

[credoimprobus]

Because these two have EATEN EVERYTHING ELSE on my shortlist this year, and it depresses me immensely that they have no chance at any other votes in the year-end poll just because no one else has been hearing them regularly. :( (They've both been HUGE back home in Finland, so us over here have had plenty of time to recognise their genious -- it took me two months to come to the first one as my single of the year, in fact, but since then it's clung invincibly on to the top spot for eight straight months.)

I've posted both before, but it's been a while, so a reminder can surely not be amiss!

While I'm posting anyway, why not post Jenni Vartiainen's latest single as well, since I've been meaning to since before it was a single: this one has also been HUGE, to the point where it replaced the initially planned third single due to the enormous response (it was totally pulling a See You Again, getting frequent airplay and hitting the top 20 in the official download chart just as an album track). It is really, really beautiful, and exquisitely tender and intimate (which makes its video a bit of a mismatch with all that BIG GOTHIC DRAMA, haha).

You've definitely got me interested. "En Haluu Kuolla Tänä Yönä" will at least make my long list. Gonna go search for Seili right now.

Now, go listen to some of the K-pop I've been pushing.

Cor that last one is emo-tastic! Good tune but it needs a bit of a bosh-up IMHO.

Like your last video one of the biggest hits of 2010 here in Norway was also a slow and dark keyboard thing
