I continue to be amazed by the album's great performance in Finland. With little promotion and hardly any radio play, an album in a style that doesn't normally do well here had managed to perform exceptionally well.

Dara looks like your right, I managed to get this image from record store's CCTV security camera.
Sure enough ... today Thursday at 3.42 PM K makes another appearance.

I have you know my fake moustaches look notably more realistic than the one shown here.
