The half full/half empty debate rolls on. It seems that I can't go out and tidy up the garden any this morning because it's pissing down with rain. Too bad... Anyway, it wouldn't have been much of an exercise anyway because Edinburgh beckons. I think I'll have a look for for a 7" by a band called El Presidente that I heard on Tom Morton's show the other day. Apparently they come from Glasgow but they have a Rick Derringer Glam retro thing going on. They sound like they mean it.

Do you watch Eurovision? I liked Norway's "song", Wig Wam (not to be confused with Wig Wam Bamz) crossed Def Leppard with TRBNGR and a little sprinkling of Darkness, contrived? Maybe but not irritating, they were also old enough to know better so that made it even more entertaining. I mean it wasn't "good" but y'ken... I also, er "appreciated" Moldova's mix of The Offspring meets The Chili Peppers, ZDOB [shi] ZDUB - snappy eh? Their latest album is called "450 Sheep" and they've opened shows for both Rage Against The Machine and Boney M amongst others. I thought Moldova was a fictional European town from Dynasty or whatever show (That was Moldavia as it turns out). This years compy was educational because it made us look up a map as to where all these competing countries are. I was very disappointed to find that neither CZD or Crazed Farmers were representing Slovenia though. Or that The Bambi's "Bikini Machines" wasn't doin' it for Croatia. A guy can dream can't he?

Yes, we (Crazed Farmers) were thinking to join Eurovision, but one of condition to join the competition is that you need to write your music in notes. Since we don't know how to do it, we didn't won the Eurovision. Well, here is the pure evidence, how powerful knowledge is. :)))

On the serious side: At the end of June we will go to the studio and record material for second album with Tim Kerr. Can't wait!!!

Have fun,
ZZZzzz...

Wow. You mean some of that junk that tries to pass itself off as a song has notes? Jeez!?
