A handsome Finnish-to-English dictionary

“Where did you say you live?”
“Finland.”
“Oh, Findlay. That’s just a couple towns over. I got a cousin there.”
“No, Finland.”
“Fin Lake? Is that near Lincoln Village?”
“No, Finland.”
“What’s that?”
“It’s a country.”
“Right . . . where is it?”

And for the first time, I understand the pain that the rest of the world sometimes feels.

Nostromo – Around the World in 80 Seconds
from Alien 7″. Bronze Records, 1979
Named for the spaceship in Ridley Scott’s Alien, Nostromo reworks the film’s soundtrack into full-tilt disco kitsch on the title track while the b-side delivers this blast of swirling intergalactic disco from twenty years back. And grab some Space-Kudu edits here.
