It definitely rings a bell, but I’m dammed if i can find it. Could it have been from a promo of the VHS?

Back to Yorkshire’s Leeds for Alt-J and their love of triangles. This is almost choral. The video is disturbing in many different respects, so be warned.

Back to Eurovision, showing that while it’s always a political theatr, it also gives us some amazing songs. Cornelia Jakobs should have won, but didn’t. Very much the story of songs from the contest that stay with me.

Some straightforward electo-pop from Norway now. Karin Park has all the ingredients to be a massive smash hit artist, except the luck, I presume.
