At Semifinal there will be DJs everyday: Mon. Dec. 29th TBA Tue. Dec. 30th TBA Wed. Dec. 31st: Jussi69
Some of this year's bands have played at the festival before but none has been invited back purely for old times sake. Each and every band in the Helldone 2008 line-up has recently reached important milestones in their careers: be it a killer album, a breakthrough in new territories or a big tour. They all are alive, hungry, fast and furious. And definitely as cool as a December night in downtown Hellsinki.
Helldone 2008 marks the tenth anniversary of HIM's New Year's Eve shows at Tavastia Club - the tradition out of which the Helldone Festival was born. Each night there will be three top bands on the Tavastia stage, while the neighbouring venue Semifinal serves as a chill out zone with some familiar faces spinning records. HIM will traditionally start their set at midnight on New Year's Eve.

When it comes to news, HIM has like disappeared off the face of the world. Does anyone that talk to the members from time to time know anything? Does anybody that works at warner bros, in my list, know anything thats going on? Like have they talked about making the next cd with warner yet? If so when are they going into the studios? If not, tell us as soon as they do! They are supposed to be making a good cd by next year so I hope the info starts flooding in soon, because I have just become extremely bored.
Oh and 2 weeks ago, my pc crashed from a boot virus, I got it fixed, and last week it happened again, I finally got it fixed AGAIN 2 days ago, and as I was talking to my friend last night, the VIDEO CARD DIED ON ME!!! Pissing me off, don't got the money for a new one, so the computer at my house is dead for now... ugh. When it comes to rebooting on my computer at home, it scares the shit out of me, because I don't want it to crash again -_-*.
Good thing about this blog, it brings my daily blog views out of 0! :D. Right now my totally blog views is 54545, I've posted 369 blogs, I've gotten 1,788 comments, and 1238 Kudos, I like those numbers!
EDIT: Oh and also thinking of a new profile layout, and possibly a new blog layout ;).
There was a link posted on the HIM myspace blog to go to the toazted website to watch an interview with ville, but the site takes way to long to load anything so I'm not gunna post it here, luckly I found a 2 part video on youtube for now. I am right now getting my own copy of it from the website lol. But here it is :).
I know they annoyed everyone lol but it was only for the time being since myspace used to have a lot more spam, now that has decrerased so I took them off again. Have fun commenting my page like you used to :P.
There was also some new interview with HIM by toazted.com that was posted on the HIM myspace blog, but the page is like taking forever to load for everyone.... so I will post it up as soon as it goes through for anyone lol.
My computer crashed a few nights ago and...
Category: Music
I lost all my files, and all the good over 1400+ songs I had for my ipod, a good 190+ of them were HIM lol. So slowly I am having to redo everything from the past 2 years that I have done...
All images I have ever made and edited, all pictures that i cared for so much, gone, all the songs that are still on my ipod, aren't on my pc anymore so they will all disapear -_-. All my fonts that i downloaded for my pc like the HIM font (Mason Font) And more are gone, so if someone that has a download link for that font and the new HIM font if you got it, if you could send them to me :).
Lost all old banner images, all code files for my old layouts, so to sum up this blog, EVERYTHING I HAD IS GONE T_T.
So yeah, I will be offline more often now recovering things, will be on whenever theres something new to post :).
Got this info off of the news section of heartagram.comPlup.com has a video with Ville explaining the shape of the new water bottle designed by Stefan Lindfors and gets his thumb stuck in it. There's also a commercial/video featuring Bam Margera as "Life" playing tic-tac-toe with "Death" while the The Kiss of Dawn plays.
This next video is in English with finnish subtitles :D.
And you have to click on the words Ville explaining highlighted in blue to see the 3rd video with ville in it. Its a flash player so be sure you have flash when you try to play it :). I will post a blog if someone posts the video on youtube or myspace for everyone to see.
