This week on TheDogBox, we have coverage of the WRC Rally of Finland. Marcus Gronholm and Mikko Hirvonnen duke it out at their home rally, Sebastien Loeb tries to keep up with them, and Chris Atkinson puts in one of his better efforts of the year, running 4th for most of the event and upstaging his team-mate Petter Solberg.

If you want to see what it's like to drive a WRC car in Finland, have a look at this video of Jussi Valimaki testing a Lancer WRC for last years event. (BTW, he grabbed 7th outright).

Music this week from:

Treeball - Ambulance. 'There tends to be a certain unjustified disposition towards bands who release entire albums for free on the internet. What about bands with visible talent who just enjoy spreading their music to all fans throughout the world, at no cost? Treeball are a good example of this unselfish attitude. Sure, the band could have released I Dream of Eclectic Sheep and made some sort of profit, but they seem to value quality reception and support from fans instead of financial benefaction.' - Obscuresound.com


Sister Flo - White Noise. This track is from their 2004 album. But the boys have a brand-new CD called 'The Healer', which you can purchase through their web site, and have shows lined up in their native Finland during August. Check their MySpace page for dates.


Fume - Sunday Light. Seamlessly combining soaring melodies, metal-tinged riffs, and haunting folk-influenced passages, the distinct musical style of Fume enthralls the listener with songs of dark, complex beauty and raw emotional delivery.


Ethel Suspense - John Wayne. Founded in 1998 by Tomppa and Julle, and after a break of several years, are back together writing, recording and giging. More tracks are up at their MySpace page.


Background music: Cargo Cult - 'Wed' (courtesy of Magnatune). Incidental music by Derek K. Miller.


If you like the song, email the artist and let them know. Or, better still, buy a CD!
