Yeap, the 2 bands that were shown yesterday on TV are already available at Ruutu.
So if some wizard knows how to *cough* capture it *cough* for everyone... I don't think it's available for viewing outside Finland.

Thanks Porthos13 for finding this interview!

How has age influenced Poets of the Fall’s productions?

Interviewer: Poets of the Fall, the band that released their 5th album Temple of Thought this spring is getting up on stage in a while but let’s have a bit of a chat with the guys first. Exactly one year ago you were here at Helsinki Day concert to open up the festival season. Marko, Capu and Olli, what are your memories from one year back?
Marko: I remember it very well. It was a really hot day and I had the feeling that every show we had then was all about showing some underwear and so…
Interviewer: I can’t remember what they were like.
Marko: I think they were alike to what I’m wearing today, but not the exact same pair.
Interviewer: You’ve washed them up in the meanwhile…
Marko: Yes! Well, I am bit of a… can’t really say a man of singular taste, but anyway… But it was really cool, it felt like the crowd was huge and our gig went wonderfully well and… Well, it somehow was a really nice thing.

Interviewer: You’ve taken on a rather modest amount of gigs for the summer this year. Is it because you’re starting to age and the summer cottage life holds more attraction, or what’s behind this?
Captain: I don’t have a summer cottage.
Olli: It’s an interesting question. On one hand it’s really fun to get a bit of holiday time. It’s looking to be a really tight autumn for us, so it’s great to have a short vacation, 2 weeks during July, it’s a rare treat. It always does you good.
Interviewer: Capu doesn’t have a cottage, but are you guys summer cottage people in general?
Marko: Of course, a cottage and a dock are great things.

Interviewer: What’s the absolute to-do list, the top three things to experience?
Marko: Why don’t you two come up with something quickly?
Captain: Mosquitoes.
Olli: Barbeque.
Marko: Oh, I don’t know… some kind of a desperate, blundering trip somewhere with a holiday headline. That must be it.

Interviewer: Your latest album has a theme that everything has at least two sides and when you look into it even deeper you can find many more angles. Does age have something to do with losing a certain absoluteness of view?
Marko: Yes and I’m really glad it has because you no longer have to bang your head against every wall and you can just use the door for a change.
Interviewer: So it’s worked well for you?
Marko: It’s gradually starting to. Nowadays I can spot the doorknob.

Interviewer: Your music has many different elements to it, you’re familiar to many from the world of games as you have written music for different game soundtracks. But if you could choose any kind of a movie from any director, what kind of music would you choose to do and what would the movie turn out to be like?
Marko: Mmmh, oh my goodness. I suppose… This has been asked for so many times and I always end up saying different answers so the next time I’ll probably think differently again but probably some kind of a edgy adventure movie… At one point I was thinking along the lines of Pirates of the Caribbean and Harry Potter movies, those would be fun. But then I watched a really tearjerker kind of a drama and felt like I would absolutely want to write music for something like that. I think that in Jason Bourne and Master and Commander have a really great sound world. So it would be really great to compose for a movie where sound effects absolutely brilliant and well done.

Interviewer: Have you had any movie people contact you yet to test the waters, what kind of sound world you would provide?
Olli: Not yet, but when it comes to game scores, a lot of things are happening again so we’ll see what comes out from that.
Interviewer: Now that you started on that, please continue.
Olli: Help! These things can’t be revealed just yet. But we’re been in contact with several different game houses that we’ve worked previously with and they always have something going on and we try to be involved in those things whenever they want us to be.

Interviewer: It seems to have been a very good formula for you guys, so there’s no use to break out from that as long as you keep getting good offers for collaboration. We have 8 outstanding artists today getting up on the stage here at Helsinki Day concert. If you could have your pick of the litter for a summertime lunch company, who would it be?
Marko: Chisu.
Interviewer: Why?
Marko: Well… there would be a lot of things to talk about I’m sure.
Interviewer: Does the rest of the band agree?
Captain: Why not.
Olli: Yes, of course. Feminine beauty is always in high regard. Erin would be a very good choice as well.
Captain: Yeah.
Olli: Actually any one of the performing ladies would be fine.

Interviewer: I don’t know how your cooking skills are…
Marko: I’m just superbly skillful at cooking.
Interviewer: So then I’ll direct the next question for you. If you could have a picnic with Chisu right now here on the lawn, what would you cook for her?
Marko: I think some kind of a melodica hot dog and coq au vin. That will be interesting choice for a picnic up there on the hill with trains passing by.
Interviewer: A terrible roadie job.
Marko: Oh yes, pots and pans and all. I always dig myself into a hole.

Interviewer: This sounds good, hopefully a moment later it will sound even better up there on stage. Poets of the Fall thank you and have a wonderful summer. It’s great to have you here.

We Women: Poets of the Fall's Marko decided to end his days

Photo caption:
Poets of the Fall performed at Radio Aalto Helsinki Day free concert at Kaisaniemi Park, Helsinki.

Marko Saaresto recovered from a complete burn out about ten years ago. The burn out was caused by a busy work at an advertisement agency. The fatigue progressed into depression.
-The day to day life was like sloshing in a swamp. It started to feel like it would be easier to just end one's days, Saaresto recounted for We Women-magazine.
-Then one day I phoned for help. I said I feel like I don't know what I'm going to do to myself.

Gave everything up
After a sick leave he resigned and started his own advertisement company. In the end he left the whole field in 2003. He gave up the lease of his apartment and sold his car for 8000 € to put everything on the line for his career in music.
-I gave up everything. I had no income, no home and no fridge of my own. I was a 30-year old guy who moved into mom and dad's basement, he tells for We Women magazine.

Poets of the Fall started their career in 2003. With his savings Marko financed the band's first Late Goodbye-single, which reached millions of people around the world with Max Payne 2-computer game.
The bands first album, Signs of Life was released in 2005. The album jumped right to the number one spot of Finland's Official Top 40 Chart and stayed on the chart for over a year.

Sleep comes with pills
Marko doesn't have a stress-free job even now. Life on tour takes its toll. The singer has told, how touring around the world causes a jetlag that can continue for months. Sometimes sleep only comes with the help of pills, but Saaresto tries to use pills as little as possible.

... and again thank you DSoL

I just got this article from a friend and wanted to ask for help

Okay the story about feeling bad at his previous job I knew and with the sleeping pills I've read somewhere too. Actually if I would have to sleep so often in hotels I would need some pills too.

But the funny thing is that I expected such an article in a newspaper like Ilta Sanomat and if it starts with "Me naiset" Sounds to me like a bit of gossip for us women

Wow. No matter how many times I hear this story, it never ceases to amaze me. Thanks again, DSoL!

You have the whole article? From Me naiset magazine? I'm pretty sure it's longer than the one I translated.

And I've noticed that so often they drive back home with their bus, all night long. If that happens very often, it can't be that comfortable to sleep.

Well, it's the usual tabloid stuff, ripping off the "news" from someone else's article.

Thanks so much folks for these translations. It feels always so good, when the guys share all this stuff with us. It is like we know them again a bit better then. They are really... Someone Special.

As always: kiitos paljon, DSoL!

You're welcome everyone, I'm always glad when you like to read these.

Oh, how much (I know I shouldn't use "much" in this case, but I like to use it as intensifier..) I love these interviews and translations! Always interesting&inspiring.
And,
Yeees! ^^ I'd just like to hear Captain speaking a bit more, sometimes, but I know... ^^

About the last interview, I remember he talked about his being gloomy at that time, in an interview I read here time ago... How a certain philosopher said, "What which does not kill us makes us stronger."...
And regarding that "Me Naiset"/"We Women": when I read it, I thought it was Marko defining the Poets that way...

Thank you so, DSoL.

I have the full article. Didn't notice the whole thing when buying the magazine though If no one else has the article/wants to buy the magazine I can scan it next week and send to you for translation

^Is that article in the latest MeNaiset? So is it still available in shops?

Will Ylex broadcast only PotF on stage or from the beginning, since I'm not able to see anything but a red-green-pink star with 8 spikes.

Yup. The magazine came out just yesterday.

As far as I know the broadcast is supposed tos tart at 18:00 Finnish time (that's 17:00 in Germany) - therefore, still 2 hours to go.

I really, really hope that it will be uploaded on YleX website later on. My laptop is broken and haven't had chance to buy new one yet

Thank you RBF, we'll see. I hope, it'll be possible.

The broadcast from Provinssirock is working now, but it has no sound so far. Also the stage is quite far away and the full screen view is really blurry.
It's supose dto start for real in 20 minutes - we'll see f we get sound and a closer view then.
Check in here: http://areena.yle.fi/tv/1571188/#/play

Edit: Sorry for even posting this here. The broadcast is totally useless. There is no sound!
Edit: NOw there is sound!

"We're Given and Denied"

And now the sound just came on! Took them long enough! YAY!

Need to go and watch Euro 2012, Ukraine vs. France. Hope someone will record this great gig! Marko sings awesome! Even more awesome than usual. Cradled in Love is better than the album version!

I got home just now!
Hope it'll be available again later...

I hope so too - it would be nice to have sound for the first three songs as well.

The wonderful Chisu is quite pretty! He answered that question fast!

Thank you dear DSOL for yet another awesome round of interviews!!!!!!!!!! You do so much! And as you can see, we hang on every word! Thank you always!

I just got back myself from some stupid errand I shouldn't have had to take!

They told in radio that the provinssi gig is available afterwards at yle areena I sure hope so because like many of you I couldn't watch it either...heard two songs from the radio though...sounded awesome! Damn he can sing!

okay it looks like I'm too late for Provinssirock on Yle. The link doesn't work and when I search for it on Yle I get a new link but I've been told that I can't watch it outside Finland
Or does someone know another source than Yle?

The link was for viewing it live - of course it doesn't work the next day.
I hope there will be another one if they put it up on their site.
