I've been "following" the FB page of Finnish electronic trio Koneveljet for like 15 years and the updates have been ...sparse.  Their last album was 2005.  It was a staple in my record back in the 00s.  Unlike many of their peers from the frozen north who make either brooding techno or chilly ambience, Koneveljet got for a mouse upbeat and cheerful sound.  They do so while being exceedingly odd about it.  "Welkom" is a bouncy, almost goofy dance track with the strangest tourist guide imaginable: I dropped it in a tiny but very ritzy club in the second half of the 00s and got asked by several of the patrons "What is this stuff?" "Kompa" is similarly energetic with a guy with a (presumably) Finnish accent repeating the names of famous people.  To this day, I'm not sure of the name after Winston Churchill.  I love how they use Ringo Starr as poignant punctuation.  The whole thing is so genuinely odd yet completely effective.  Solid Finland/10.   Since then they reformed briefly to do a live gig in 2017 (in Finland of course).  Most of their updates are in Finnish (even machine learning struggles to translate it correctly.)  Some things don't really require translation, like this photo: I woke up this morning and was greeted with the announcement of a new Koneveljet album, the first in over 20 years(!) Downside: the cover art is AI slop. 🤮 I hope the music is better.

RIP Prunella Scales, who played Sybil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers. Aged 92 after a long decline from Alzheimers. 93 apparently. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjd0yn5gyndo

Loved his work with Keith Jarrett for Standards and other LP's as well!  RIP Jack!
