Hussalonia Purchased by Nefarico™, Soap Manufacturer
02.07.11
Pop music cult Hussalonia has been purchased by Nefarico™, manufacturer of fine luxury soaps, for an undisclosed amount in early 2011. In a press conference held last week, Nefarico™ CEO Arkhip Kozlov assured the public that the Hussalonia Internet Concourse will continue to operate in a relatively unchanged state. All music on the site will still be available for free, though it is rumored that Nefarico™ will begin placing advertisements for their fine luxury soap products on the site sometime within the coming year. Yet another stipulation of the purchase is that the Hussalonia founder will no longer be able to use his name or likeness in association with Hussalonia. As a result of this stipulation, all evidence of his name and face was removed from the site in mid-January 2011. It is widely believed that Nefarico™ purchased Hussalonia in order to employ the founder to write commercial jingles for their fine luxury soaps. (Indeed, the company's recent radio jingle for Puffy Caustic Soda Flakes — "It's a Fine Day to Be Caustic" — bears a striking resemblance to the work of the Hussalonia founder.) Because the Hussalonia founder is ultimately under strict contract to Nefarico™, it is unclear whether or not he will be allowed to continue releasing original material of his choice on this site. Sources close to the founder say that he has already begun releasing music on another site under an undisclosed pseudonym.

Fan Website Attempts to Write About Every Hussalonia Song
02.21.10
Inspired by Anthony Ling's Every Bob Dylan Song website, writer and Hussalonianite Leonard Kirke has started a blog wherein he is attempting to write about each and every Hussalonia song, seemingly in chronological order. This, as one could imagine, is a major undertaking of little reward. Let it be known that Mr. Kirke is in no way affiliated with Hussalonia, nor will he receive any compensation for his work. He writes from his own desire to write and to benevolently spread the Hussalonia word. The Hussalonia Internet Concourse applauds Mr. Kirke's commendable efforts to raise Hussalonia awareness by giving each Hussalonia song a moment in the World Wide Web. We have found his initial installments to be insightful, honest, confessional, and enchantingly tangental. Everything one could hope for in a blog about Hussalonia.
