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 …
Not too long ago I visited a new digital/interactive art experience at a new gallery (only open a month or so ago) in Melbourne called 'The LUME'. Here I enjoyed many of the art works of Mr Vincent Van Gogh!
Howdy all and it's time to get back to a little Eurovision today. This year my absolute favourite entry was from DaĂ°i & GagnamagniĂ°, a group which specialise in 'nerd pop' if you like - six performers, led by DaĂ°i Freyr, who asked to form this group a few years back now (I think 2018) …

Hey all. Weird is weird, but some songs at Eurovision were just plain dreadful. Sure, it can be somewhat subjective. But these ones, I'm pretty confident, we can all agree scrape the very bottom of the barrel. This one is 2001 from Israel. 'Ping Pong'. These songs seem to have one thing in common - …

Today I've decided to present some of the weirder songs Eurovision has seen over the years. Not all, not by a long shot! Might do another one of weird songs a little further along. Anyways! Alf Poier from Austria presented this song in 2003, a song about pure nonsense. Mad as it may have been, …
When doing long-term travel, or indeed any travel that involves long journeys by bus, plane or train (or anything in-between!) there’s one thing that can help pass the time. And that’s meeting others. Oh wait no, that’s not it. Watching movies. No no…. okay apart from those two things, there’s only one OTHER way of …
