Jyrki Hämäläinen (July 27, 1942 Tampere, Finland - March 18, 2008)

“A feeling of sadness and longing That is not akin to pain, And resembles sorrow only As the mist resembles the rain.”

If there ever was a king of Rock and Roll, then you can be sure that he had some illegitimate children or he was in the wrong bussiness completely. And even if Jyrki Hämäläinen wasnt one of those children you can bet your ass he was at the parties where some of them were concieved.

If you were anybody who was anybody, then you knew Jyrki Hämäläinen. He will be missed and mourned by more than most people.

Group record for all time low set!

It was well over a 100 years ago Victor Hugo predicted that “An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.” And thats exactly what happened. It took just a small, determined group of young, healthy and virile finnish men. Alltough armed with nothing but an exceptional firmness of mind these men managed to set the new group record for an all time low.

They call their group “Agonizer” (*note singular).  As an attempt to thank their supporters they came up with the idea of playing a concert 1.4 kilometeres underground. After securing a record deal, what had originally just been another idea during intense brainstorming became reality and as a result the men became the record holders as well.

Agonizer “Agonizer” snatched the record from the band called “Queens of Stone Age”, who apparently must be very popular with their neighbours as alltough they hail from the United States, their last notable gig was booked and played in a salt mine, 701 meters below ground level, in Germany.

There are no news regarding the date “Agonizer’s” new record is expected to surface, but there have been talks of rewarding the group with a “special publics interest medal” should they manage to continue succesfully playing their music undergroud.
