A wonderful documentary of Teemu Keisteri, Windows95man, I urge everyone to watch. Every one of us should be like him, a free soul, sober, without shame. ”No rules” is actually a phrase he has been using daily for a long time. What a great dude.
It's like 11 months of winter and 1 month of sun in Finland so you know we desperately need to forget the rules and have some fun sometimes. We have so little to lose here.
I kinda didn't get the Windows95Man act for a long time. He is a DJ and a dad from Espoo (a city near Helsinki) and made this one song for Eurovision only. The song is about his saying NO RULES that is more like his mantra, he states that all the time. He thinks there should be no strictness and we should have more fun, that's at least what I catched from his interviews.
As a DJ he usually plays 90s eurodance music in events and combines the mix with obscure things like 90s Finnish TV show tunes or Crazy Frog. He's genuine, funny and retro and started to grow on me.
What I love is the fact that he is completely sober, like me. Often Finns get these silly ideas "kännissä ja läpällä" (jokingly drunk). With Teemu this is not the case, he has Finnish craziness in him without any booze. We both were once a guest in a sober curious movement a couple of years a go and that's where I found out more about this guy.
He is also a modern visual artist and has paintings about butts, among other things. Get to know his art here: https://www.teemukeisteri.net
Jännä tilanne. Suomi lähettää Euroviisuihin artistin, joka joutuu muokkaamaan voittobiisiäään ja artistinimeään aika perusteellisesti. Uusiksi menee artistin nimi, esiintymisasu ja lavashow. Eli emme edes tiedä mitä tuli viisuihin lähetettyä.
To be honest: you couldn't expect #Finland to play by the rules after sending the perfect candidate last year and not winning. The game was rigged, so sending an over the top performance about "no rules" is the PERFECT response.
And I didn't think anything of #windows95man until I saw their live performance. It was one of the best!
Windows95man singer said in the interview that he never was meant to even participate in the song and now he is going to Malmö to represent Finland 😂 This is hilarious.
