Well, Eurovision has officially been and gone for another year. The acts have gone home, the radio presenters no longer find Lordi hilarious – the only remnant is the mysterious appearance of Daz Sampson in the UK’s top 5. At least he got something out of it, although I would rather he stayed behind the… Continue reading Untitled

I cannot believe that Sandi Thom’s single is close to being no.1 this week, and sure to be no.2 at least. It represents everything wrong with the modern attitude to music, and the whole sentiment of it is just ridiculous. Read this earlier post for my first comments on the song, and join me in… Continue reading For goodness’ sake!

It turns out Ireland are capable of making brilliant music after all! The last ace Irish export were B*Witched, but a band described as “Rock/Funk/Soul” but in fact sounding like a brilliant piece of urban/latino-pop, like Outkast or the Freeform Five.

It’s so lovely how everyone’s getting so enthusiastic about Eurovision around here – there are English flags everywhere, in the windows of shops and houses and even little ones on people’s cars! But do you think someone should tell them it’s not just England entering but the whole UK?

The Kooks – She Moves In Her Own WayThe last 2 Kooks songs were quite enjoyable considering their NME-friendliness, and I’m sure this one will get just as much coverage in the indie Smash Hits, but I personally much prefer it – there’s something really likeable about it that made me smile when I first… Continue reading New Pop On The Block
