Not true at all, apparently

On the day Thatcher died, I raised a glass. Actually several. The celebration that she was well and truly gone from this Earth went on all afternoon.

Just finished The Devil's Chord having watched Space Babies at midnight, a few thoughts below.

I love Glen Campbell's voice too. One of his farewell albums, "Ghost on a Canvas," is named after a Paul Westerberg song that surprised me as only really other Westerberg fans would've known it. So it got me interested in his covers.

Emily Goldberg, former girlfriend of the late dj Avicii, died aged 34 from a lung embolism. She already died April 3rd.

I know this song was eliminated a while ago, but I really liked this cover version of All I Have to Do Is Dream, mostly because I love Glen Campbell's voice.

On social media part of the Israeli delegation have been bullying and threatening other countries on social media. Things being said include: About Greece - "Representatives of Greece, I hope you slept well at night" About Netherlands - "No anti-semitic has the right to sing or breathe next to us and won't come close." and "The Dutch representative doesn't like us and asked us not to take his picture" Ireland - "Not a friend" and "Also scares me a little on full moon nights" Also seen something about Spain being threatened.

My review in spoilers for those who don't want to know. I watched both episodes at midnight.

I saw it but it wasn't anything like the National Geographic-looking pictures my friends sent me from 5 minutes away. The best part of this picture is the stars (I don't know anything about stars/planets, sorry, I just like looking at them) 20 past midnight, Glasgow, looking North-Northeast if anyone wants to flex their astronomy knowledge.

Prick.

Regardless of absolutely everything, all I know is I barely remember Israel's entry, whereas I have been spontaneously bursting into "Euro-pa-pa papapapapa" all day. And if I had a cat, I'd meow back at it. There's so much to enjoy this year, and I am determined to go to my mates' house for the party and enjoy it.

Netherlands out? One of the best entries in years DQ-ed. Colour me finished with this after this year.

Well, I'd rather not be posting here about this. A facepalm or angry reaction for example could be a reaction to the message contained within the post, rather than a reaction to the user and the fact that something has been posted. Now I'm not saying that certain users may use the reactions in that way. I rarely use those anyway, but I believe that is the way they should be used and perhaps not taken personally.

If Israel win this competition (and their odds have been shortening), next year's contest that they would host is going to make this year's with all its problems so far look like a fairytale.

Party Rock is THE song of the early 2010's imo, sad that it's gone considering there's still a lot of shittier songs remaining.

It was never going to make it very far. I unironically think it's a great song though. It fully leans into its gaudiness and doesn't hold back. It's a 4½-minute song with an extended intro and outro that somehow made its way onto radio. I love the drum pattern and the moment where everything drops out (twice), not to mention one of the most iconic music videos of the decade.
