Reply the second: You may already know about this (or not care), but there is a serious sale going on for MONO t-shirts (they have a few that are $5 or $6).
I didn't know this was coming. I loves me some MONO. (If you haven't heard them, another similar group that I quite like is We Lost the Sea.)
Reading the stories accompanying those first 3 tracks adds to them tremendously
It's finally Eurovision season again! So far three national selections are finished: Albania is sending this gem: France is mixing a bit of English into their song this year, hoping for a wider appeal: Spain's song is kinda fun, even if he doesn't quite hit all the notes: The Norwegian national selection isn't until March, but the competing songs have been released. I think my favourite is Spirit in the Sky:
Damn those poppy catchy beats in the norwegian song I haven't followed the Israeli selection that well but one of my favorite artists is competing and from what I heard she is rocking it. Her version of Karma Police is probably the best I have heard :D (filmed in old Jaffa)
After watching the Palestine Unerground Boiler Rool Documentary I was shocked the I only knew the israeli/palestinian part of the story (and music). I went deep into the featured artists from Ramallah and found some interesting and lovely gems! This one is by Makimakkuk and its beautiful There are also some interesting hip hop artists and beat makers. This guy, Al Nather, did a great job with this beat!
