статья на английскомNegative's singer and songwriter Jonne Aaron was elected last year as the "Year's most positive in Tampere". His successor will be chosen in 27th of July. Jonne would have a couple of candidates.
- This year I would give the title to Jama Jama. Or maybe a very talented spray painter from Tampere, Tarmo Kaikkonen a.k.a. Tare Brush. He has painted ia Petri Nygård's reggae truck, was involved in Negative-Lada, and has also done paintings to Kultaranta for the President Tarja Halonen, says Jonne.
However, Tare Brush is not a candidate for this year, but maybe next year ...
Jonne recalls that the tribute last year was a delightful surprise.
- It left a good feeling. It's nice to get recognition, and what could be better than to get it in your own hometown. I said then that it is a funny thing to receive a positive acknowledgment with a band called Negative.
By the way, Jonne keeps the diploma on the wall of their rehearsal-place to give a smile on rainy days.
Songwriter advices the jury of the positivity contest:
- It would be good that the selection criteria would include that the person has made Tampere known somehow in a positive way. Then, the choice should also be a positive person, one that spreads good feeling to people. And, if he/she could have a little "through the gray rock"-mentality.
Jonne's summer includes holidays, decorating their rehearsal-place, jogging at Kauppi and cycling.
- Today I got a new song idea, a viable Negative song. I've also done some songs for other artists. A week later we go to Russia. One of the nation's largest TV channels wanted us to play five songs in their big party.
In July Negative is touring in a few festivals, and in autumn they go to Denmark. Currently the band is shooting their new music video. New single Believe has just been distributed to radio stations and Jonne expects them to start playing them in a while. In Provinssirock Jonne performed together with Katri Helena.
According to Jonne the best thing about Tampere at summer is the short distances: All sorts of things are available in a small radius.
- Kaija Koo said aswell in an interview somewhere that she books a hotel and goes on vacation in Tampere. Tampere enjoys a good and exotic reputation in other parts of Finland. Here is a strong food culture, big lakes and Tammerkoski, they are an asset.
And finally, Jonne's holiday tips:
- Relax and go to a cottage. Warm the sauna and a swim. Do not hassle. I think that holidays are not about going by a pre-established schedule, swears the musician.
