EUROVISION TIME

“EUROVISION 2012: A Worryingly Comprehensive Guide”

(what follows is the 2012 edition of my unnecessarily long guide to Eurovision that I post on Facebook every year for my friends. I have a friend who doesn’t use Facebook anymore who still wanted to read it, ergo —- posted here. Hyperlink-heavy, opinions, cursing, etc.)

now this is the kind of hard-hitting journalism I go for

I guess the topic for my honours thesis is settled, then…

okay, so the music video for the English version of this year’s Israeli entry is actually pretty ace

"Well," the voice replied, "You know what they say, one world cup and two world wars. Now let's rid Germany of their Eurovision entrant." »

if you have never read Weeldering_Waardeloos’s seminal fanfic Norwegian Nights, please find yourself a half-hour to do so. I guarantee that your life will be forever changed.

this story has everything: diamond smuggling, Balkan tensions, sabotage, friendship, Stefan Raab being a dick…and what really happened at ESC 2010….

(at least stick it out for the AMAZING plot twist at the end)
