Years & Years - 'Communion'
It's good in parts but sounds a bit too boyband fodder in other parts. A bit disappointing really.

How Deep Is Your Love (with Disciples) • Standalone Release
It's a 7/10 for me. Nice bassline, good to see him working with someone a little unexpected... not feeling the twee vocals though?

Bananarama - Rate Results
I Heard A Rumour is life. In my top five all time fave 80s track.

Disclosure — Caracal
My two favourite things - Disclosure and CATS! I think I will combust.

Barbara Dex Award 2015
Netherlands - a horrible song to go with a horrible outfit.

Time to get out
These days, I'll be happy if we sent something which didn't make my toes curl. Utter bag of shit this year, Guy Freeman should be ashamed of himself. Idiot!

Disclosure feat. Gregory Porter - "Holding On"
I like it. But that's it. Hmmmmmm... almost disappointed. Surprisingly unoriginal given this is a lead track of a massively anticipated album.

Who did you vote for in Eurovision 2015?
Love this! I'll be playing Love Injected in July, November and February. Just amazing.

Eurovision 2015 · Detailed Voting Results
Totally agree - 50/50 split is, on balance, the best way to decide the winner. More often than not, jury and televote agree on the winner. This year was indeed interesting, but it's the law that is sod that Italy didn't win (I'm secretly VERY glad, I hate opera!). I also agree jury vote is there to put a lid on the novelty acts and IMO they voted a sublime top two this year!

BUZZVISION 2015 // Final Results
Really enjoyed seeing the results pouring in while drinking (necking) a glass of red. A worthy winner and a fantastic result for Latvia! I have strong feelings Latvia will do very well tonight.

25th, I think Austria and Israel will make up the bottom two.

Eurovision Song Contest 2015 · Green Room
Just to share with you all, I was at jury final last night. Great show, ran smoothly and no vocal mess ups from anyone. In summary: despite the lack of representation, Serbia would've won the whole bloody thing if this was based on crowd reaction. It was sensational! Latvia - absolutely nailed it and this may surprise us all, despite other peoples views, I knew this would sail into the final and a top ten finish tonight won't be a shock. Sweden and Russia were on point, plus also a very strong reaction for Italy. Russia went down a storm, I could hear tones of booing but NOTHING compared to last year. On the flip side, Electro Velvet did well and it was visually pretty good. It did become apparent last night how bad a song it really is, it's so limp and the fact it didn't receive a strong response (despite the ever reliable amount of Brits there). If this gets out of the bottom three, I will be genuinely surprised. My final prediction for Saturday: 1 Sweden 2 Russia 3 Belgium

Eurovision Song Contest 2015 · Semi Final Two
I think the following will qualify Ireland (will be saved by the jury and only just) Montenegro Malta Norway Latvia (it bloody better, given the ever shortening in the odds is a classic sign of a dark horse) Azerbaijan Iceland (a lot thinking this will DNQ, but this will comfortably go through) Sweden Cyprus Slovenia I think Poland and Israel will narrowly miss out. Israel will probably get ruined by the jury vote.

A lot suggesting Lithuania will qualify. I don't think it will (or, I bloody hope not - it's awful!)

Eurovision Song Contest 2015 · Rehearsals
Interesting Sweden comes off lacking but we have seen this for real on MF so these rehearsal clips really don't give these performances any justice.

Aminata looking and sounding amazing... but those backing singers are not easy on the ear.

Eurovision Song Contest 2015 · Rehearsals
I genuinely hope Czech Republic don't qualify - sounds like an Eastern European Nickleback - YUCK! I don't think we'll be seeing them on Saturday... In actual fact, the entire first half of this semi is predominantly a heap of painful dross. Thank god the second half is a COMPLETE U-Turn!

Plans for election night?
I have a new job which means I don't work Thurs and Fri... so this is obviously perfection. Fingers crossed UKIP f*** off.

Belgium · Eurovision Song Contest 2015
I should be all over this but it just leaves me cold. But to think this is the same nation that brought us "mother" last year is nothing short of remarkable.

Indeed Italy winning would be grim.
