5 Fantastical Facts About Finland

1. The name of our national anthem is "Pump Up the Porridge". It was composed by Sir Finnotronic.

2. Our most popular radio programs include:

Rattoilta (Ratto Night). Experts answer questions about old porn magazines.

Rattoillanjatke (Ratto Night Extension). In this pioneering program from the 1980s a number of judges describe and rank photos of penises sent by listeners.

3. Before 1981 it was illegal to squeal like a pig. The law was repealed in honour of the Archbishop of Hamina who is known for his swinery.

4. One of the most popular Finnish bands is a Bon Jovi tribute act called Bog Jovi. They sing exclusively about toiletries and their biggest crowd pleaser is "You Give Wet Wipes a Bad Name".

5. Contrary to popular belief, the name Urho does not mean "hero". It is an abbreviation of the phrase "urea hohtaa" (the urine glows) which refers to the glowing urine of medieval alcoholics.

Art questions August 2019

Q: How do you compose?

A: I was one of those kids who played John Carpenter's Halloween theme. The nature of my music formed after I started listening to classical, European folk and soundtracks. Sibelius and Shostakovich were my early classical favourites.

I grew up in a small village in the 1990s. My home village is called Perälä and it is near the west coast of Finland. The Rinta-Perälä family had their own farm a long time ago. Music and drawing run in the family, but I'm not aware of any other visual artists or classical composers. I'm a keyboardist and my older brother plays guitar and keyboard.

I've never studied music and I can't read notations. The music classes at school were boring. Since the late 1990s I have intuitively written my own atmospheric themes and they usually emerge quite soon after I start playing.

Q: What music are you listening to?

A: Classical, medieval, soundtracks, folk, blues, jazz, rhythm and blues, soul, rock, punk and hardcore, metal, electronic.

Q: What is "saapasnahkatorni"? You also call yourself "A man of the ruptured church" on your blog. What does it mean?

A: Saapasnahkatorni is from Seven Brothers (1870) by Aleksis Kivi. Saapas = boot, nahka = leather, torni = tower. "Devil's skin tower" - boot leather refers to Devil's skin.

One of the brothers is a religious fanatic who gets drunk and starts having visions of the Devil. They go to the Moon and enter this tower.

"Ruptured church" refers to an old church in my home town, Teuva. The walls of the replaced church cracked. This is an old nickname for people from Teuva.
