In this promo clip for Ruisrock, Tomi J has to decide spontaneously which of two given choices he prefers. Some of his answers have already been posted in the Amo FB group by Teme L. and Hanna P. (thanks!
) but I'm including them here for the benefit of those who haven't seen them yet, so here's the full set. ">" as in "is better than" indicates the order of preference; in some cases he just states which is better without further commenting on his choice.
Festival gig > club gig "difficult question, but if I have to, I'll answer festival gig anyway"
Champagne < beer "beer, absolutely"
Tent < hotel room "depends...of course I'm getting old, so I tend towads the hotel room, but it's a boring decision, because the best parties are always in the campground"
Festival bus > bicycle "Hmmm....interesting questions, well thought out....Both are good, but let's say festival bus, because you have friends on the bus and cycling is kind of lonely. I'm more of a pack animal, so I'm choosing the bus, that way my band colleagues won't be offended."
Burger > neulamuikut (a small fried fish) "Jeez, what questions you have.... really tough... well, burger"
Organic pork < organic carrot "I'd say it clearly depends on the time of year. In winter I would most likely say pork, but now that the sun is shining, a delicious carrot is more interesting than greasy pork"
Public beach < dock/jetty at the cottage"who makes these questions? These are really difficult. Well...I would say dock, because to the beach you get quite often in the summer at any rate. A holiday at the cottage is rare treat for me, so I'd rather go there."
Sneakers > sandals "absolutely sneakers"
River Aura (in Turku, near Ruisrock island > archipelago (between Turku and Stockholm) "I would propably get lost in the archipelago, so river Aura"
Kalevala > Kanteletar "oh well, let's say Kalevala"
Väinämöinen > Ilmarinen
Death metal > prog metal "absolutely, easiest questionso far!"
Circle > square "don't know, but it's maybe a bit more harmonic, in my imagination. These are a bit like Rohrschach tests, I guess the next one will about the genital area in some way, but I'll stick with the circle, in my current state of mind it seems the more natural solution"
Unnormal > "normal clearly more intersting"
Summer beard < summer mustache "both are stupid solutions, because if you have them, they should be kept all year and not just toyed around with. But if just one of them, and all year including summer, then a mustache sure is awesome."
Lake > sea
At the Gates > Soilwork
Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät > Samae Koskisen Korvalääke "that's easy. Sure Pertti wins. Give my regards to Pertti!"
Kantele < recorder "I think playing the recorder would be kind of cool. I choose that, because I have this dream of a band where I'm playing drums, with a recorder, a bass and a hammond, playing instrumental stuff."
Moshing > air guitar "To me, air guitar always looks utterly stupid, so it's moshing, absolutely."
