Technically Northside, run by Rob Simonds (a founder of RYKOdisc) still exists although I think the only band Rob is still releasing is the Swedish nyckelharpa-guitar-fiddle trio Vasen. Their 2019 album Rule of 3 is on Northside in the US: www.discogs.com...

Hi Dano, Finnish is crazy difficult. They don't pre position ( as 'in' the house) they change the ending of words , even proper names instead...so you need to know dozens of ways to say one word. That makes understanding what you are hearing very difficult. FUNNY the 50 curse words for snow!

"Flux Fiddlers" might be a reference the Fluxus Collective ... pure speculation??? Yoko was deeply involved, not sure about John's role within it???

@Joe - re: Beatles group (not solo) string arrangements, Paul did, I think, suggest ideas but, in actuality, didn't George Martin actually do the arrangements?

Great selection of music! BTW, did I hear correctly (I was running around the kitchen assemling dinner to put in the oven) that you were soliciting people to send you singles? We should have one in about 3 months or so if that was for real. But I missed the address.
