Photos taken of famous people together that you would never have expected to be together but make you happy all the same.

a Finn who primarily listens to instrumental techno music does not recognise a photo of an old lady who wrote some medium-popular songs forty to fifty years ago

OK, Cap'n Save-a-Tuomas, he does this all the time, it's a shtick, he's not 20 anymore.

Yes, pom, Finns don't know who Pierre Boulez is, they only listen to Sibelius after all.

More like 'Finns don't know what Boulez looks like, they only hang Eero Järnefelt's portrait of Sibelius in their saunas'.

he does this all the time, it's a shtick, he's not 20 anymore.

he’s not more likely to know what she looks like 45 years after she was having hits than he was 25 years after she was having hits, tbf

If glumdal had just said who was in the photo, a helpful policy that has been the subject of some discussion itt over the years iirc, I wouldn’t have made A GIANT EMBARRASSMENT of myself by not knowing Pierre Boulez on sight

I agree that the people in the photos should always be named, I always do it. Tuomas' techno teenager from Tampere routine is just a bit silly now.

(btw I'm assuming the photo of Boulez dancing with a Womble has already been posted itt)

What's a Womble?

blimey what a palaver, i sincerely apologise. genuinely thought no one would have trouble with them

Not dancing tbf.

That was my favorite sitcom of the '80s.

I recognise Peewee Herman there, but who are the other three?

Tuomas gonna Tuomas.

David Lee Roth on the left, singer for Van Halen
Joan Rivers, American TV talk show host
And I don't know who the other guy is

English pianist Reginald Dwight

Did not recognize, pretty toned down.
