Semi-finalists of Eurovision

OK, so what I showed below were the ones that are interestng, but did not go through to the finals, because of the ones I will list now.. not all of them, only the more interesting ones...as interesting as the poppest of the pop songs can get..coz these are those most painful radio-music songs.

The Russian one was funny, coz the guy was suffering and singing on stage, while a Hungarian violin player was doing the same behind him on a stradivari rather motionless, and then we learn why..coz he was standing on a 3by4 metres ice-rink, where Evchenco or Plushenko a famous skater was moving his hands like a ballet dancer.. :) hehe a comment on youtube: "he song is good but singer don`t know english.You`ll need more than old violin and famous skater to win"

Then the girl from Greece, with her sexy dancing and mouth wide open while accentuating her breasts, was bound to have won. Barbie is from Greece and she is moving her legs apart not only to the front and back, like my Barbie did...:P

Eurovision

I never followed Eurovisin. I accidentaly ran into it half way yesterday..and from the 12. performance on, the only weird one, by weird I mean "not pop" was the Bosnia i Hercegovina performance. But in the end, when they showed inserts from the first 12, I realized, some countries decided to rather ridicule pop-culture than make a contribution. The estonian Leto Svet song, sung by two middle aged fat men, or the Irish sock-puppet Dj, saying sorry for the past few years of Irish pop music...I can only say: bravo! Punks rule!! :)

japanese poprockska

Today, I accidentaly saw a video , this video, on Subotica's worst TV channel..and I was stunned, and I ran to youtube of course to find some more musiic from them to check if they are a one-hit-wonder or not..and I found myself watching their concerts and videos for the next three hours and then in the evening...
They are called Go!Go!87188, the 2 girls playing the guitar ('79 generation) and the bass('80), and the drummer ('73) have been playing as a band since maybe around 2000, and have toured around the world since then..and I just "met" them today..well..better now then never...
They are so cool to watch, coz these japanese people just do not age! they look like they were 16 and in fact they are between 35 and 28...weird..
so enjoy! here is the link

Cairo

WOW
I still can't believe where my life takes me. Cairo....well...of course nothing can be perfect, but I think un imperfect something is better than nothing. I started off at 8 A.M. after 2 nights of concerts in small towns 150kms away from here..not enough sleep. I had been waking up at 7 o'clock every day before my departure to a far-away land..and then I travelled 19 hours, just sleep about 3 hours and be at breakfast at half past 8, have a meeting at 9 and go on to a self-organized sight-seeing tour in a city with 18 million residents at least, that is 65 km across. Of course we had no real idea where to go, what to see, so we went to the museum, and since my company was a group of 40year-olds and a couple of younger people who were no fun at all, the whole afternoon was about wondering around, not aggreeing on any goal. In the end, after circling the area around the museum, we went back to the hotel to chill out a bit. I did it on the 13th floor by the pool...In the evening we were supposed to go shopping, but we had to wait for someone's sister, who did not arrive, and so I just went to a back-street with two men, and smoked waterpipes. Next day we woke up at 4.30, had breakfast and went to work. I was feeling worse and worse with each day, zhanks to being very tired. The day passed in heat, on the centre of the city, and mainly in the embassy of Serbia, We were shown a shopping mall on the other side of the city by a woman that I knew from somewhere, and she also knew my face, but we couldn't figure out where from. I also saw the ZOO, and the locals were looking at me as if I were an animal as well.
In the evening-night I wanted to rest, but it was so hot, I couldn't sleep. So I drank some wine with a few young girls from belgrade that I got to know there and then. But still,., I only could sleep for a few hours till morning.
In the morning on Monday, I felt the worst..My pulse was high and I could hardly breathe. But the doctor in our group said it is dehidration, so after I drank lots of water and cooled off, I felt better the whole day. We went to the pyramids AT NOON!! Idiot tourists..in the desert at noon..but we survived and had great memories from there. In the afternoon we chilled at the pool, and in the evening we went shopping a bit and after having ditched the 2 boring old guys, my roommate gil and I walked alone through the center and I got to know an arabian guy, who made my wishis come true. wishes I had for the past 2 days, that were connected to cairo, and to having a full experience of it. And it all happened in the last evening. So I can only say, in the end everything turned out great!! :)
weehhaaaa
