Heya,

It's been a while. I'm glad to tell you I had a child in December and made a new song the day he was born. It's called "Baby Antiblues". Just wanted to keep that experience so I played it as it came to me, made the whole thing that night as I got home from the hospital. And yes, it feels great being a dad!

I've made a lot of unreleased music, but somehow have great difficulties playing it to anybody. Guess that's just shyness or something...

And been at school studying sound: we made this "slightly interactive web-comic with video and sound"-thing called Mieliteko and used "Baby Antiblues" as well as "The Long For..." which I made a couple of years ago. Check our thing out, although it's in Finnish... damn. Well i guess you can understand some of it even if you don't know the language.

Anyway, both songs are on my player.

All the warmth,

otto

Hello friends & people listening,

I've uploaded the 1st odkid music video, "Hellsehen"... well to be honest it's actually not the first but the first to be released out open...

anyway, you can watch it on:

myspace --> http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=49608857 

youtube --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2xOvFwm700


It was edited by my friend ah-ok! from the footage i've shot over the years with a cheap digital still camera that has a video shooting option.

And there's a new odkid tune on my player called: "Video Game Over".

An album is bound to come out this year which will include both songs.

have a great start of the year, warmth and love whoever and wherever you are,

Hello you,

I'll be playing this friday as O'Joe in Rovaniemi, perfoming what i call "black country" music.

I'm concentrated more and more into singer-songwriter material, expect some things from that fruitful tree (a release, a big release?). I have some songs here but I'll perform new and better song in that gig.

MAIN: Joose Keskitalo, a very great finnish singer-songwriter | http://www.myspace.com/joosekeskitalo |

SUPPORT: O'Joe (aka odkid) performs black country | Kanabrot (brothers Ville and Matti) play singer-songwriter-stuff | Jaakko Laitinen (from the band Orkestar Business Class) plays balkan and old finnish music | http://www.myspace.com/orkestarbusinessclass | http://www.myspace.com/kanabrot |

But hey, new odkid too: you can "buy" Samvega! from Amiestreet.com/odkid, still FOR FREE!

And odkid release is to be expected soon...

Heart and warmth people!

Hi friends,

As you can hear/see, new odkid material is on my player.


Samvega
: The oppressive sense of shock, dismay, and alienation that comes with realizing the futility and meaninglessness of life as it's normally lived; a chastening sense of one's own complacency and foolishness in having let oneself live so blindly; and an anxious sense of urgency in trying to find a way out of the meaningless cycle. (

My cousin Drowsy has a MySpace
. You can hear me play bass on the track "When It'll Be Snowing" on his player. Alt-country, folk, acoustic... listen.

What else... Had a blast playing last saturday (May 3rd) with the Sun Machine at my brother Ilja's shop opening party. It's in a small village with lots of nature surrounding, it was so beautiful and full of warm people and feelings.


I'll try to keep you informed about things.

Stay good, true and warm!

PS. new odkid release ready...

Hi everybody,

Now the mixtape is officially out!

check it out here --> http://playmytape.net/page.php?id=58

odkid - PMT43 Shards from The Potions I Drank

About the record:
«Here’s some of the music I’ve listened to and still do. I somehow came to think of songs as kind of magic potions. Like in many fantasy books the magic potions make people feel and act differently, there’s something similar to that how listening to good records enhance and influence people in a life changing way. At least it works that way for me. Great music leaves a trace to the mind and affect the songs you make yourself, conciously or unconsciously. Here are some pieces from my potions. Outside the other artists’ songs, I included some stuff of my own. There are two new unreleased things: a song co-produced with my good friend Lauri and another old song I reconstructed especially for this project. Also, there is an excellent remix by a finnish dark ambient dude Austurkarl that appeared for some time in mikseri.net (a great finnish free mp3-site)».

And the track list:
1. Helios—Halving The Compass
2. odkid—Tin Leaks (Injure The Mist Remix)
3. Low—Little Argument With Myself
4. Drowsy—I Watch the Sky
5. Mark Oliver Everett—Post-Flashback Blues
6. odkid & l.a.ur.i—Polarcaps
7. Petracovich—Paper Cup
8. Neil Halstead—Hi-Lo and Inbetween
9. odkid—Previously Unreleased Ghosts
10. Eels—Living Life (Daniel Johnston Cover)

Hi good people,

Recently I visited my good friend Lauri and we were going to do demos of our other band, the Sun Machine. Somehow we ended up doing something completely new and quite different from the Sun Machine’s folk with two, three or more voices sung in it. All was instrumental this time. Two songs appeared quickly and we had even more ideas just bursting out of our minds, but we ran out of time so only two were recorded. More material will certainly appear.

HERE’S THE NEW PROJECT ( http://www.myspace.com/solarapparatus )
and
OUR FOLK BAND ( http://www.myspace.com/thesunmachineband )

And i recently also made a mixtape/podcast to http://playmytape.net
It includes my favorite artists/songs and hey - new odkid material!
It’s not out yet but will be in the next couple of days!
read this for more info

Thank you people!
