02. What was the first song you ever heard by #22 (Röyksopp)?
*Must've been their überhit Eple.

03. What's your favorite lyric by #41 (She Wants Revenge)?

* Pete P, tajuatko tämän: huuda tähän astiaan murheesi ja särje se kappaleiksi.
Tämä astia kuulee, sillä on korva, vaan ei puhu se ilman suuta.
Pete P, tajuatko tämän: Kuiskaa tähän astiaan unesi, kuiskaa tähän astiaan unesi, kuiskaa tähän astiaan unesi.
Pelasta se talteen, se ehkä toteutetaan, se ehkä toteutaan.
Ei ei ei ei ei, älä laita kättäsi astiaan, jos kosket untasi se hajoaa, jos tartut suruusi sinuun se palaa. sinuun se palaa.
sinuun se palaa. sinuun se palaa.
(Pete P)

Oh my goth, it actually did end? :3 Took me ages, but it wasn't too much of a bore to do~

Alright, I did watch the whole show.
I guess I'm hooked on Eurovision, now. Although this year's contest was something horrid compared to last year's splendour. Just what you might expect from it.

Creepy Botox sluts and airhead bimbos with glitter dresses and icky gay guys with matching shirts. And no talent in singing at all. I mean, where do they all find these cheap eurotrash artists?
Eúrovision could be a celebration of cultures with songs mixing traditional folk elements in modern music showcasing the best tradition of each country, and instead it's this horrible facade of a song contest.
Well, I shall not complain on this topic anymore.

There actually was a few songs I did like. With few I mean three.

Oro
Beautiful, touching ballad of Serbian beauty. I really like this piece, it has an amazing atmosphere and spirit in it. Serbia knows what to give, this is an heir to last year's Molitva.
Zemrën e lamë peng
I know she didn't sang as fluently as other singers, but you have to give her something- When I heard she was only sixteen my jaw dropped. Because the song is really worth listening. And she looked so much more mature and thus, plausible. Way to go, Albania!
Senhora do Mar (Negras Águas)
Finally, a real portuguese diva for the competition. Great, enchanting voice and brilliantly haunting song with unusually good lyrics. I saw a hinch of last year's Alenka Gotar and I do hope there'll be someone do to this next year. Opera is not dead.

And after watching the show I did download these three great pieces on my hard drive. But in the end, after listening through my last year's Eurovision favorites, which were far more frequent, I decided to seek up something on them. I ended up downloading a full albumsworth of Kenan Doğulu's songs and in fact, liking them. I guess I just have to admit. That man knows how to make appealing mushy songs. Plus turkish sounds s-e-x-y.

While I wait (almost certainly in vain) for LastFM to get their act together and have my overall artist chart reflect actual listening habits - it's been screwy since Nov 25, so what real chance is there of them doing anything? - let's see what I was really listening to.

10. Kenan Doğulu
Kenan was represented here by a large collection of remixes, rather than anything more significant. Some of them were passingly interesting, but his original versions are substantially better.

9. Savatage
A cameo appearance by an act which was dominating the charts about a month ago. I came upon a copy of "Streets: A Rock Opera", which was a bit boring at first when compared to their later stuff, but picked up quite rapidly, with their traditional band of melodic progressive/power metal coming through.

8. The Simpsons
Tied with Savatage, actually, this demonstrates why albums based on TV shows probably aren't great. There's a handful of good songs, but they're all marred by low-quality recordings of the dialogue around them as well, which really spoils the fun.

7. Thrudvangar
One of a myriad of pagan/viking metal acts coming out of the woodwork. This lot get heartily recommended, but didn't impress me overmuch on their first listen. We'll have to see, though.

6. Toše Proeski
And yet more of Todor. My Balkan underground friend has managed to get the albums from this week to work roughly accurately.

5. Miles Davis
Ironic that in the week Miles would get me onstage at "Spicks and Speck-tacular" (by knowing the first track on "Kind of Blue"), I'd also listen to him enough for a top 10 finish. I'm not sure he's my absolute favourite jazz musician, but he's definitely close to it.

4. Sanna Nielsen
I came across a Christmas album by Sanna, and while I'm not normally a Christmas album kind of guy, this one was worth it. All the lyrics are in Swedish, and most of the songs are not just translations of carols or other Christmas classics. Sanna's voice sounds almost like Enya sometimes on the album, though. All high and ethereal.

3. Jill Johnson
Officially a "pop/country" singer from Sweden, I think the best way to describe Jill would be that she sounds a bit like Shania Twain without being Satan. Being an ESC-related performer, though, she's frequently cheesy as all get out. This position was courtesy of another Christmas album, which really moves away from whatever country roots she might have. Terrific voice, though.

2. The Lord Weird Slough Feg
Without a doubt, these guys are one of my finds of the year. I've never really had the experience of listening to an album and honestly not knowing what will happen next, but this happens on every track they release. Will there be a weird vocal pattern? Will there be a guitar part from out of nowhere? Who knows.

1. Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Despite the fact that my overall artist chart suggests that I played TSO 4 fewer times this week than a fortnight ago, the stats here don't lie. I wonder if any other artist will be able to break the 91-times-in-a-week record here. Of course, not many other artists have released 4 albums with anywhere up to 27 tracks on each, all of which are important to listen to. TSO is my current top artist, and deservedly so.
