This year's Eurovision is starting to look interesting, with Germany fielding a country & western act and Finland a death metal band.

edit: Hmm, listened to the Finnish entry now; disappointing. They sound like a bog-standard euro-rock band with laryngitis; crunchier guitars perhaps, but no real bottom end, and with twee plinky keyboards that ( Read more... )

It's been almost three weeks since my last update. I've just not gotten around to it. I haven't said a word about my wonderfully chilled out weekend in Manchester for saintmaryuk's birthday, the disgraceful federal and government response to the disaster in New Orleans or the summoning powers of tea, and right now I should probably be writing up djelibeybi_meg's wedding, ( Read more... )
