I don't remember if the Finnish version of Urban Guerrilla was
included in the cover versions tape.  Anyway I recently purchased a CD
that contains everything the punk band Kollaa Kestaa ever did.  One of
the songs is indeed "Urban Guerrilla" or "Kaupunkisissi" in Finnish --
a straight translation.

So how is it like?  Well, first of all this *is* a punk band.  The
don't play well, they don't sing well, but somehow I find that stuff
really fresh and honest.  I mean, the don't even *try* to be good.
Still there are some really good tracks ("Kaupunkisissi" is maybe not
one of them...) and all is in Finnish.  To say this all in short: you
probably wouldn't recognize the song as "Urban Guerrilla" if someone
didn't tell you.

Anyway, the CD should be quite easy to get, so if anyone is interested
(any Kollectors around, eh?), a trade might be possible.
