My personal favourite at this year’s Eurovision is Bosnia-Herzegovina. David describes it as “Arcade Fire doing Rocky Horror”. It won’t win but it’ll worm its way onto my iPod.
Five other countries of note:
+ Turkey has sent a local version of Manic Street Preaches with a hefty dash of Muse. Niice. A snowball’s chance in hell, [...]
A gorgeous, gorgeous song. I can't believe I never watched the video before now.
Patrick Wolf does Eurovision! (the 2007 offering from Ukraine, worryingly enough)
Franz Ferdinand - Love & Destroy - inspired by Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master & Margarita (which you should absolutely read).
Gorgeous version by Kira Skov and Marie Fisker.
