  1. I asked my colleague, and he said that he doesn't know any better than I. Some people use toothpaste to do that πŸ€”
  2. Good question @Fugazi, we don't do it because we don't have time for that. I've seen some videos on YouTube where people do that and it helps! I can ask that at work tomorrow πŸ˜ŒπŸ‘
  3. It breaks my heart a little bit that Tuomas has said Away is a whopping piece of crap. I really love its serene vibe.
  4. @Paul Botterell I think that you're Record Shop X's number one fan in the UK πŸ˜„ Ozric Tentacles is really something else. We listened some of their albums at work once, and my co-worker thought out loud and said 'well this music has some restless vibe in it' 😁 We have a huge amount of used CDs which are not yet available for our customers. My co workers are a freaking super duo of handling those used CDs and putting them online for sale. Nobody else is able to do it as fast as they do, so I'm very happy to be at the counter selling stuff while they are doing the deep dive with used CDs. So if you are intersted in some particular artist, you can turn on the notification, and it immediatly tells you when we have some new merch or records available. We do have a good amount of Hawkwinds products available! It's so nice to hear once again that you have found so much interesting stuff from our website. We work hard to keep our customers satisfied and we rarely get any negative feedback. I've been working there since August 2020, and I have received only once negative feedback (one new CD was a little bit scratched, so it hadn't nothing to do with me or any of us at Record Shop X).
  5. @Paul Botterell I noticed that you're a newbie! You're more than welcome here πŸ™‚ And please ramble away, it's always nice to chat with new people here. My gosh I would have so much to say about Marco's case (it really made me upset and a bit depressed, because the future of the band was on the brink of quitting) and about vinyl/cd sales nowadays. Actually JyvΓ€skylΓ€'s store moves to bigger business premises next month because the current store was made more for "CD record shop", not for "vinyl shop". We sell vinyls waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than ever before (Record Shop X turned 24 last Saturday, so it didn't exist around the golden age of vinyls), vinyls are back! I guess that it's good enough when I show your very kind messages to my supervisor, but if she wants a formal review, I'll let you know. I'm here like duuuuude, that's so nice how you talk about Finnish people!! πŸ˜„πŸ˜Š We are hard working and really dedicated to our work at Record Shop X. Personally I love my job and this is my first job that really matters to me. I really want to help musicians sell their music and get their much earned money for doing the art. I guess that Dani Filth of Cradle Of Filth told that their music had been streamed on Spotify for 100 000 times (I'm not quite sure...) and he earned less than 100€:s (84,66GBP) of it. This is why I do that job. This is why it's important to buy those vinyls, CDs and even cassettes (yeah, Record Shop X sells those too πŸ˜„). Some portion will go to the record stores too, but musicians will get bigger portion for themselves from a single CD or vinyl than one stream in Spotify. Please somebody correct me if I'm wrong in some point, I'm more than happy to educate myself on this topic.
  6. I bursted out laughing πŸ˜† Gosh I love self ironic humour 🀣
  7. Here cometh the answers for the last time! So that was that. I had a blast with you all for this 7 months. Hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did! Though this quiz ends now (or at least takes a loooooooooooooong break), I won't be abandoning you guys at all. Actually now I think I have more time to join other conversations! πŸ™‚
  8. Sounds good! I might have some sort of thing going on right now, so you don't have to settle for that result as a last one πŸ˜‰
  9. Well thank you @Paul Botterell! This kind of compliments really warm my heart and I will pass on your kind words to my supervisor. If you ever come to Finland and JyvΓ€skylΓ€, I will personally assist you to find the merch you are interested in. πŸ™‚ If it wasn't clear enough for everybody already, I work as a part time employee at Record Shop X in JyvΓ€skylΓ€, the best job in the world 😁
  10. https://www.recordshopx.com/book/nightwish/once_upon_a_nightwish_the_official_biography/#330907 Backstage Rockshop might not, but we are selling it at Record Shop X! We've had compliments about fast shipping from our foreign customers. If you have any questions, I'm more than happy to answer. πŸ™‚
  11. Yeah these questions were once again a bit bitchy πŸ˜„ I give you 3,3/10 πŸ™‚ According to my counting, there has been 350 questions in total, and now I'm doubting my mental health. πŸ˜‚ But it has been so much fun, thank you @Fugazi for participating in every quiz!! Also thanks to everybody who has been enjoying my little trivia.
  12. So yeah, this will be my last quiz. I don't know will I return with these quizzes in some point, we'll see. But let's go! 1. What are the parts of The Greatest Show On Earth? 2. Which song's music video was so awful, that it wasn't published at all? 3. What was the date when Once was published? 4. Why Emppu's guitar technician Kimi Tuunainen had to quit? 5. Which Nightwish's song Floor sings to Freja as a lullaby? 6. How Freja has called Γ‰lan? She has given a whole new name for it. πŸ˜„ 7. Which was Floor's first demo she had sung in? 8. When is Troy's birthday? 9. Which drumstick label makes Kai's signature sticks? (I own one of them, wooooop!) 10. What was the color of Tuomas' hair as a child? There you have it for the last time! I guess we'll keep Dark Chest Of Prizes open, if there's still no new contestants by 9.2., and we'll figure out a new day for the awards.
  13. I totally agree about quantity over quality. I was thinking like a couple dozen new people to join us. πŸ™‚ I myself don't enjoy social media like Facebook (or Meta nowadays) or Instagram, I haven't been there for a couple of years now and I don't miss it for one bit. πŸ˜„ It's so nice that we have this small forum here!
  14. Yeah! Let's try to figure out a way to promote this forum. If I'm continuing the quiz, I think I'll post some easier questions. Many people have said that they're really hard and they might feel unable to answer those questions.
  15. Here cometh the answers! There you have it! Only one to go anymore. I think I'm going to miss these quizzes.
  16. I totally agree. I'm sorry that the flyer thing didn't quite work out, or I was just a little bit unsure what to do, where to begin etc. That would have been one way to promote the quiz and this site of course. I've been talking about this forum to our customers at work, but I guess that they have not been that interested about this.
  17. I give you 6/10! Not bad. And it's nice to hear that you still like my quizzes 😊
  18. Here we go again for 30 something time. Lost the count, I'm too sleep deprived and I should be sleeping right now πŸ˜„ But whatcha gonna do, I'll go to sleep after this. Soo let's go! 1. Who's the actress on the music video Nemo? 2. Who three members of Nightwish have been on Raskasta Joulua line up? 3. What was the exact publishing date for Imaginaerum? 4. Mention three Marco's bands. 5. Who's Marco's wife? 6. Why Marco almost lost his voice? 7. Who beauty queen is the actress on the music video Noise? (and I don't mean Floor, she's Valkyrie of Valhalla, remember? πŸ˜‰ ) 8. What is an amaranth? 9. When was Century Child published? 10. What was the working name for End Of All Hope? And there you have it. One to go, then I'll take the break. Please let me know on scale 1-10 how much you've liked this quiz and based on that I'll decide whether I continue this in future πŸ˜„
  19. If you would like to have a special A2 size poster, it's only available on Record Shop X! We rock πŸ˜„πŸ€˜ https://www.recordshopx.com/dvd/nightwish/virtual_live_show_from_the_islanders_arms_2021/#772635
  20. What's this??!! Soooooo interesting, gotta get into this later!! 🀩
  21. Holy shit @Fugazi, YOU MADE IT!!!! 10/10!!!!!! πŸ₯‡πŸŽ‰ Are you sure that you didn't cheat? πŸ˜† This quiz has been so nice to make, it's great entertainment for me and it has been awesome to see that you guys enjoy it as well πŸ™‚ Here comes the correct answers (or you can just check them above and see what Fugazi answered πŸ˜‰ ) And there you have it!
