Seven Songs to Cool Down a Heatwave

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

Ever found yourself trapped in a long, sweltering and sticky heatwave? You step outside and are greeted by a damp, oven-blast of heated air, hot enough to fry an egg on your stomach. Well, there’s no need to fret as you can escape to the coolness of your air conditioned home / vehicle [...]

World Cup 2010 Japan team song (Exile): Victory

Monday, June 14th, 2010

I must confess, I do not know anything about Japanese popular music. Is this a good representation of the Japanese contribution to World music, I do not know? What this sounds like though is an attempt to mix traditional African bush music with a modern disco-boy band. Fail! What I don’t [...]

World Cup 2010 Mexican team song: Bam Bam, Un Gol Por Ti

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Have you ever been in an authentic Mexica restuarant.. you know, where the owners, workers, cooks and even the food on the menu comes from Mexico? One where the walls are festooned with Mexican artwork – woolen pictures, colorful looking portraits, and at least a dozen national flags. Where the tiny TV in [...]

Dizzee Rascal & James Corden – Shout

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

It’s World Cup Fever! And for every football tournament England partakes in, there are a number of official and unofficial anthems that are released to support the band. Yes, I’m thinking of such classics as the 1998 disastor titled “Vindaloo” by Fat Les, and probably the best of them all, Three Lions on the [...]

The Beach Boys: Bluebirds Over The Mountain

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

As I stated yesterday, there’s probably no better band that brings you the soundtrack to the Summer than The Beach Boys. “Bluebirds Over The Mountain” isn’t the typical Summer or surf-song that you would match with The Beach Boys, though as with pretty much any Beach Boys song, it is full of Mike [...]

Lena: Satellite (Eurovision 2010)

Monday, May 31st, 2010

I was wrong. Malta did not even make a showing in Saturday night’s 2010 Eurovision Song Contest. But, I was correct in one thing – the U.K. entrant finished dead last, collecting only 10 points! Only four countries gave the U.K. points in the televoting (Albania, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Ireland), showing how popular [...]

Safura: Drip Drop (Eurovision 2010)

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

Crikey folks – it is that time of year again – the Eurovision Song Contest!! The BBC web site places Azerbaijan (thank you, ctrl+c) entry, “Safura” as one of the favorites to win this year’s competition, with her song, titled “Drip Drop”. This probably will mean the song ends up with nil-points [...]
