by Devil’s Food Cake

So Eurovision is over for the year – it’s time to pack away our score sheets, our voting fingers and our EU cupcakes. But though this year’s contestants are gone, they are certainly not forgotten, though admittedly some of them would be better left as such.

by Black Forest

Fever Ray gig, Shepherds Bush Empire, 17.07.09… here’s a snippet of a conversation that took place. Plus, a clip of “When I Grow Up”: possibly our favourite music video and song in a while, or maybe ever!

D.B.C – “I can’t see (peeks between the crowds), where is she?”
B.F – “Is that her in the African Voodoo ensemble? This is surreal and eerie and a bit scary.”
D.B.C – “You love it!” … Continue Reading
