Ari Peltonen (born Шаблон:Birth based on age as of dateШаблон:Sfn), also known by the mononyms Paska (Шаблон:Lit) and Anssi, is a Finnish radio persona, a cappella rock singer, reporter, writer, and television host.
Musical career
In 1985, Peltonen took part in the pre-qualification of the Finnish Rock Championship as a one-man a capella band called "Paska" (Шаблон:Lit). The band performed music consisting solely of Peltonen's shouting. A debut EP, named Superdoublemegamaxihits!, was released in 1989. Over the following years, Paska performed in some fifty international venues, including Germany, Mexico, France, the Soviet Union, and the United States. In 2015, Billboard magazine highligted Paska's cover of Motörhead's "Ace of Spades" as "one of the weirdest, most deconstructed versions out there". The band "broke up" in the 1990s due to "musical differences", and returned briefly in 2005.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
Radio and television career
Peltonen transitioned to radio in 1989, hosting Paskalista (Шаблон:Lit) on Radio City. The show consisted of Peltonen's renditions of the Finnish top-ten singles chart. He soon began hosting a show called ANSSI! on Yle's Radiomafia. The show became a subject of criticism following a TV special report, and the coarse language of the show was brought up at least two times in the Finnish parliament. As a result, the show was initially suspended but later allowed to resume pre-taped. Another of Peltonen's shows, Vihatut levyt (Шаблон:Lit), consisted of listener-submitted music that they least wanted to hear. Since 2001, Peltonen has hosted the show Paskalista on Шаблон:Ill.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
