Heading to Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona next week. Should be a good laugh, especially Run the Jewels, Dan Deacon and Simian Mobile Disco. The Strokes headlining will be entertaining too!

Still can't get used to the idea that Australia is participating. Kudos to the presenter for 'accidentally' confusing the name Australia with Austria.
I'm not. I never supported the choice of PKN as our Eurovision representative, and predicted that they would fail. And I was right.

I was wondering to myself "why do the UK never get eliminated in this semi-finals? We're terrible every year!". I just found out we get into the finals automatically every year. Does anyone know why? We haven't done much to justify that free pass for a long time!

Looks quite interesting, though I have to admit I've only heard of about 25% (at best) of the acts on the bill.
On a slightly more 'commercial' note, I am off to Radio 1's Big Weekend in Norwich this Saturday (though the Sunday is a lot more commercial than the Saturday) with the wife, looking forward to Snoop Dogg, Rudimental, Muse, Fall Out Boy and Florence+The Machine amongst others.
Quite rare to find acts like that coming out here to East Anglia and we were very lucky to get tickets. The whole thing is on TV (BBC Red Button during the day, then BBC3 or 4 in the evening), so it's all set up to record, will be nice to have it to look back on in the future. I'll report back next week ...

A trio of Britpop 20th anniversaries in the past week or so. Firstly,
Supergrass - I Should Coco. Secondly,
Paul Weller - Stanley Road. Both of those turned 20 years old last week. And finally, given that it turns 20 this Friday,
Pulp - Common People.

Harry Enfield has the answer.Since 2000, "The Big Four" - UK, France, Spain and Germany - have automatically qualified for the final as they are the biggest financial contributors to the EBU. In 2010 they were joined by Italy, so it's now "The Big Five". Besides these only the host country is allowed a free pass to the final, except this year when they have Australia trolling around as well.

However, that leads me to question how Spain even gets the money to be a 'big contributor'. Talk about priorities in government finances.

Frankly we'd have way better chances than most years if we entered Harry with Loadsamoney

"Someone" is recording a music video near Barcelona, "that person" posted pics of the gas station where the video is being recorded, no need to be very smart to realize who I'm talking about...

After recording a music video on Spain, "that person" came back to England to beat a world record yesterday (Most live concerts on different cities in 12 hours), and, of course, "that person" did it with 7 gigs
EDIT: Today, "that person" tweeted a pic of the cover art for that song from the music video, you can see it on my avatar
EDIT2: "That person" released the new song,
here it is

I'd be amazed if there were any Pop Will Eat Itself fans on here and even more so if they like the current incarnation of the band but this is a fine album anyway.

What is the first piece of music you guys ever bought?
For me it's this song, which is very out-of-character for me, being the punkrocker of the forum. But it really intrigued me when i heared it a lot on the radio as a kid.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuXOUvFtUC8I don't think it's known outside of Belgium, and even here many people have forgotten about it.
Aside for nostalgia, it is still a good track even to todays standards.

And for me it was a compilation cd called Nº1 from Sony from which the only tracks I can remember were
this and
this which is curious for the first song since the CD was from 1994. The second one I bought was this one:
It would then take many years for my next buy.

First music I bought was a single on cassette tape from WH Smith's. It was either C'est La Vie by B*Witched or Honey to the Bee by Billie Piper. I then moved onto ABBA Gold on CD after that.

Here are two former GP2 drivers' new careers:
Hiroki Yoshimoto - Apparently he has been in music with his band do-a for quite a time. They actually started 2 years before Hiroki's first GP2 start.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fnR-VcYwBoHonestly, it sounds totally okay.
Hamad Al Fardan - GP2 Asia driver, who wasn't that bad when he wasn't crashing. Now being as Arab as he can, he is in Drag racing AND... hip-hop. I can't really say anything, as hip-hop is not my kind of music, not to mention Arabic hip-hop.

Hey, guess what? I saw this video t'other day AB and I quite enjoyed it. I confess to never having even heard of Foxes before you started your relentless campaign on her behalf but I thought it was a damn good 80s-style choon. She didn't look very comfortable doing the dance routine, mind, but who am I to judge?

Do you mean you 'bought' the albums or are you explaining that you've transported them to where you are right now? I brought my ipod to work today like I always do and over the weekend I finally bought 'Live shite Binge & Purge' by Metallica.

After remembering how good Modern Vampires of the City was, I decided a few weeks ago to listen again to the first two Vampire Weekend albums. I must say, even though I didn't think very much of them the first time I listened to them, in retrospect they're both pretty good albums, and I'm super excited for what they're going to come up with next.
