"It's already the third day of the year, so it's ok to predict that this is the Finnish album of the year." -Toni Laaksonen of the national radio. Not bad! :) (Apologies, the article is only in Finnish.)

Toni Laaksonen: Pepe Deluxé / A Night and a Day | YLEX
ylex.yle.fi
Vuodesta 2012 näyttäisi tulevan musiikillisesti hyvin rikas, jos ensimmäistä tehobiisiä pidetään ennustuksen välineenä.

Easy riddle time! It's got green and red and it's shiny and loud. Can you
guess what it is? (Hint: picture)

To those who've been asking: yes, the lady on the "A Night and a Day" -video really is Miss Dominican Republic 2008, Geisha Natalie Montes de Oca Robles. The assistant character is a tribute to one of the coolest organ players ever, a video by him will be posted on Friday.

VIDEO OF THE WEEK: Here's the last one of the year. Count Skylarkin & Harvey K-Tel: Dub of a Preacherman - a little feel good film by our friends Rumpus Animation who are working with us on the new Pepe video.

From all of us to all of you: Happy New Year! May it be the best 2012 ever!

Count Skylarkin & Harvey K-Tel: Dub of a Preacherman

When their career was put on hiatus after THAT incident on the Terry Spandex Show in 1964 many people thought that was the end of Musty Springwatch and The Skylarkalites. But after some very persistant coaxing from Count Skylarkin and the mysterious Harvey...

Here's a nice little Christmas present we got. Thank You Artrocker, Thank You Santa! It seems that we've been good ...

VIDEO OF THE WEEK: As a scientist I should naturally choose Einstein vs. Hawking ... but I think Mr. Rogers character makes this one the most epic of all the epic rap battles. Poor Mr. T doesn't stand a chance!

P.S. MERRY CHRISTMAS! Time to go offline ...keep your eyes open for the strange bearded old guy, wearing red and carrying a suspiciously large sack.

Radio Helsinki was playing today A Night and A Day (KXP Remix). Very cool choice from DJ Njassa on the afternoon show.

Pepe Deluxé - A Night and a Day VIDEO!

This is a grave warning to those who are addicted to that magical "lift" and are inclined to think that it's safe to drink coffee, no matter how strong it is.

Pepe Deluxé - A Night and a Day

Released digitally and limited 7", January 16, 2012 From the album "Queen of the Wave", out January 30, 2012 Written and Directed by Paul Malmström for Mothe...

VIDEO OF THE WEEK: The undisputed king of guitar effects is FUZZ. But as the name of our new album is "Queen of the Wave", it's the Queen we are now after... and that is of course the WAH-WAH.

While this is a sort of an ad, it's also a very good documentary. Not only because of the detailed history of the pedal, but because among other things they are interviewing the two Big Eddies. Eddie Kramer (our all time fave engineer), who reveals a neat mixing trick and Eddie Van Halen - see and hear what Rock'n'Roll lifestyle can do to you and your voice. Oh and Wah Wah Watson... one of the most stylish guys in the known universe!

Hi my name is Pepe Deluxé. I love fuzz guitars, exploding drums and a nice bath with champagne and candles. I'm also interested in fire breath...

VIDEO OF THE WEEK: When you really stop and think about it, there are only two kinds of movies in this world: Star Wars, and the other kind. For many people (including us) the best Star Wars movie is "Empire Strikes Back." But what would it look like if it was a 50's movie ... ?

What if Star Wars was a 50s 3-D Movie? Let's turn back the clock, shall we? Back to a distant time in an alternate universe far, far away... The 50s! It was ...

We here at Pepe Deluxé collect hearts. The more the better!
