I've always loved the Eurovision Song Contest. Or, well, I guess it's all nostalgic, because over the last years (since late 80s) I've done as little as possible to see it, hear about it, see the pre-selection contest...or even listen to the winning entries...but when I was younger I ate bowlfulls of popcorn, kept track of the score, and screamed when Norway always cheated us out of our well deserved 12-points. While Iceland's first entry in 1986 has been punched into my brain's memory cells so often that it's hard not to think about it, it was never a [...]
It's kinda Guest Post Central around here lately with a few fine folks taking my place for a day. This is a very good thing for you, the reader, because all my friends have excellent musical taste. Obviously. A few weeks ago I got a package from Chris out in North Carolina who made me not just one or two but SIX CDs full of genuine marvelousness that I am still digesting. Chris sends me some humid North Carolina greetings, and writes the following; " I often (morbidly) tell my wife Janet that if [...]
Plastic Bertrand er snillingur. Hann er örugglega frægastur fyrir semi-paunklagið 'Ça Plane Pour Moi' frá árinu 1977, sem hefur m.a.s. verið koverað af 90s ofurstirninu Leila K. Árið 1987 fór hann á Eurovision fyrir hönd Lúxemborgar,og performaði þar snilldarlagið 'Amour Amour' . Lagið endaði í næstsíðasta sæti, og Tyrkland í því neðsta (tvöfaldur dómaraskandall!) og á meðan að það hafi máski ekki verið besta niðurstaðan þá varð það ekki alslæmt, og bústaði frægðina pínulítið, þá sérstaklega vegna dansmúvanna, bleika jakkans og hársins, sem dinglaði útum allt. Einhverjir héldu því fram að Plastic Bertrand hefði ekki [...]
Do you think anyone at Pepsi researched the lyrics for Plastic Bertrand 's "Ça Plane Pour Moi" before using the catchy song in their latest commercial? Considering how they buckled to the pressure of the self-appointed culture warriors over Ludacris, I'm guessing they didn't. I can't imagine a meeting of Pepsi marketing executives going "Yeh. We have this great song for our new ad. It's about a guy blowing another guy. We'll sell billions!" Wait till Bill O'Reilly gets a hold of this one. Regardless, it's pretty funny. [...]
Preston asked me to post a few of the tracks I'll be playing, so here you go: Hot Chip - A Glue Too Thick - mp3 Everyone here should know about Hot Chip by now. I'm not sure if Preston's played this at DSC before, but you'll probably hear it tomorrow from me. Plastic Bertrand - Ca Plane Pour Moi - mp3 Remember that awesome song in European Vacation ? [...]
Too many meetings and too much cake. I haven't been able to gather my wits about me today to get a post together until right this very moment, please forgive me. this.bigstereo.net is my new favorite place from which to gank quality dance punk, electro, remixes, and references to Bitch LapLap . RchrdOh? and Travis post a winner practically every day, rendering me incapable of leaving comments other than '!!!!!!!' and 'BEST EVER!' -- so professional, I know. They also have the best tag categories ever. Biggest, newest favorite from the BigStereo boys? [...]
