Eurovision 2025

I will shortly be doing my annual Eurovision preview, deciding which country or countries to bet on. Before going in I already know that I *really* like this year's Swedish entry! Which is completely bonkers and yet I can't take my eyes and ears away from it.

The Tenor Commodordion

Fandoms colliding for me here. An IF Comp winning interactive fiction author playing an accordion built from a Commodore 64. He’s Swedish, playing a traditional Swedish tune. Though lacks a bass side and notes. More like someone playing classical music on accordion.

ABBA viewing

A week or two ago the BBC aired masses of ABBA programmes on Saturday night. Channel 5 has also been getting into the spirit. We recorded everything, but have decided to pass on the full Eurovision 1974 recording. But making a start on the many others! We have just marvelled at Basil Brush introducing ABBA on his programme 😜 I’ve adored ABBA since I was about 5 in the late 1970s. A huge highlight was going to see the ABBA Museum in Stockholm 5 years ago.
