Melodifestivalen 2012 is underway and the first semifinal had a pretty cool opening sequence. Not quite up to 2009 standards (my favourite year) but not too shabby! Tonight is the second semifinal and then we have the third, fourth, second chance final and of course, the final itself! Then you have to buy the CD [...]

Eric Saade & Danny Saucedo … sharing a crush!
I have to thank my good friend James O’Brien for pointing out this piece of campness to me. Eric & Danny’s hijinks turned into a video montage to the tune of “Crush”. No doubt the conspiracy theorists will be beside themselves shouting “see, they ARE Gay, I knew it all along!” Good on Eric and Danny [...]
Le Kid – We Should Go Home Together
Since Le Kid’s fantastic album arrived in the post a few weeks ago, I’ve got a new favourite song on repeat! We Should Go Home Together is a classic slice of perfect pop from Le Kid. And the clip is uber-camp in the way that only Le Kid could pull off! Le Kid’s album “Oh [...]
Adam Tyler….brilliant music from the U.S.A. (no, really!)
On the final night of Stockholm Pride a few months ago, a performer took to the stage that I’d never heard of before. A queer electro-pop hunk named Adam Tyler. The first thought I had was “wow, he is soooo hot!” followed by “this music is really good.” He actually did a few covers of [...]
Ola really is all over the world!
The senfabsational Ola has released “All Over The World” in the US and the UK over the weekend. It is available on iTune with a gobload of remixes. So copy one of these links and go and buy the single. Don’t bloody download it illegally. We need to support the few decent pop artists there [...]
Eric Saade Volume 2
Woooh! This just surfaced about 24 hour ago and seems to be the cover for Eric Saade Volume 2 which is to be released in November. If it is the cover, it is absolutely stunning and so much better than the Volume 1 cover – and he’s not fake white anymore! He actually really looks [...]
Song for a sunny Sunday morning
It’s a bright, sunny Sunday morning out there and I have just the song to get me in the mood to get up and get out and enjoy the day… Le Kid were one of the entries in this year’s Melodifestivalen that immediately struck a cord with me. Happy, fun pop that was full of [...]
Stockholm Tonight
If you’re ever planning to visit Stockholm, you must go during the summer. The city is more beautiful than you could imagine and the citizens come to life for just a few short months each year. In fact, everyone goes just a little crazy because they know they only have this short time to fully [...]
Zekes – Vi Lyfter Igen
Zekes… a bit of Swedish alright! In 2010 I was at Stockholm Pride and walked past the smaller of the two concert stages in the park (as I did many times over the fours days). On the smaller stage, a lot of individual and dansband performances were held – acts not quite big enough to justify [...]
