Howdy all. It’s been a few weeks now since Eurovision 2024 in Malmo, Sweden. I was travelling at the time and consumed a lot more social media commentary on this year’s contest than I normally do before even seeing the contest. As it stands I’ve seen the first semi-final and the final, I haven’t seen …
Before Eurovision fades away into the distance for another year completely, I thought I would share a few more Eurovision faves of mine over the years. This time we time travel back to the previous century and check out some of the best tunes (IMO) that Eurovision gave us in the 1980s and 1990s! 1/ …

Howdy all. You know, Eurovision passed this year and I hadn’t done a SINGLE post on it! Well, it did occur 2 weeks after I returned home so I guess I was still adjusting to life back here in Australia after three months away, and I have managed to catch a lot of what happened …
Hi all and Happy Saturday! Well, in a day or so we will know the winner of this year's Eurovision Song Contest, with the Ukraine widely tipped to win - if I was a betting man they are the only country worth putting any money because this year, politics is going to play a big …
Howdy all and it's time to get back to a little Eurovision today. This year my absolute favourite entry was from Daði & Gagnamagnið, a group which specialise in 'nerd pop' if you like - six performers, led by Daði Freyr, who asked to form this group a few years back now (I think 2018) …

Yes, goodness me, Eurovision we is FINALLY here. One semi-final down, another to go before the final. And today it's all about the WINNERS of Eurovision. The numbers that really blew the audience away. Minus, you know, the ones I've already mentioned. Johnny Logan & Celine Dion especially. Well okay, I'm going include Celine because …

Howdy all. Another post looking back at Eurovision over the years - today I'm looking at some examples of rock songs in Eurovision. Actually surprisingly under-represented as a genre, some songs are brill whereas others ... well they unique to say the least! Eyes That Never Lie (2009, Belarus, Petr Elfimov) This one has an …

Hi all! Sorry to not ACTUALLY be 'throwing back' this week, but I thought I would share this video of the 41 participants of this year's upcoming competition, I watched it and I thought, honestly, that there's not a lot that stands out.
