This is the moment Eric Saade won Melodifestivalen 2011

Thanks to Yoda for finding this on Youtube. I’m having a few tears right now watching this for the first time. Eric seems deliriously happy as he hugs legendary schlager songwriter Frederick Kempe and chats with Melodifestivalen host Marie Serneholt (of A*Teens fame). The right song won for a change. YAAAAAAAYYY!!!!

In my secret silver box, I keep the things I love

In my secret silver box Secret silver box I keep the things I love The smell of the flowers in the garden The bizzy bizz from the bumble bee I play the cards on the floor See the wheels turn once more Butterflies and sunshine Rainbow cross the river Purple dreams and silence Silence in [...]

My heart goes bang bang, bang bang

I’m going through somewhat of a large Stock/Aitken/Waterman resurgence at the moment. Partially because of new CD reissues of classic SAW artists like Sonia, Big Fun & Boy Krazy. But also because of new book I’m reading by PWL (Pete Waterman Ltd) mixer Phil Harding. The book is called “PWL from the Factory Floor” and [...]

You filthy, dirty little queer. Get out!

Or a “hummus-sexual” as Don seems to say Seeing this surreptitiously as an 12 year old, you might think it could have screwed up my self-image and [...]

Song for a Swedish friend

Barrack Obama supporting Gay teens: Skanky Steph Rice should watch this!

A U.S. President saying something pro-Gay, being supportive of Gay teens…..well I never!!!! Barrack Obama, I salute you! This is brilliant stuff. Someone should force Skanky (ex?) swimmer Stephanie “Suck on that faggots” Rice to watch this a hundred times. The other side of the coin… Some Gay teens may have committed suicide but at [...]

Thanks Sara….another clip of Hallå Hela Pressen (Hello all the Press) at Victoria’s

A commenter (is that the right word?) called Sara pointed out this clip of my new favourite group “Hallå Hela Pressen (Hello all the Press).”  Swedish schlager band…who I would be stalking every Monday night at Victoria’s in Stockholm if I lived in Sweden! I calculate it would cost me around $2,500 in airfares and [...]

Hawke

Just watched “Hawke” on Channel 10. Brilliant. Simply brilliant. That is all.

Yoda turns 50!

My best friend forever turns 50 today. What a milestone. He’s defied all the predictions and has achieved half a century on planet earth. Some may say – unkindly – that he has spent many of those years on another planet – but I, of course, would never say such a thing! Grant is having [...]
