Ex Finlandia semper aliquid novi...

...but I can't quite believe in accordion wrestling: it sounds like a googlewhack.

And this video jusifies my scepticism, I think. If this is wrestling, it's wrestling as staged by Busby Berkeley - which is not in itself a bad thing.

Being a huge fan of finnish tango, I of course jumped at this idea, so to speak. Guess which (p)art I like most? I would, wouldn´t I? Finland has some competition but in my opinion they still stand strong as weirdest nation of the old world. I didn´t know this and will not hesitate to tell my accordion playing friend in Gothenburg who is from the far north where four country borders meet (not counting the nomading sami) so he has lots of experience of the most various sorts. The truly strange people all gather around the north pole where fun is harder to get at, it´s more sporty up there, you see.

I think it's the long summer days / long winter nights divide which makes people a bit strange. Not to mention being so linguistically isolated.

But in a good way, obviously!
