    “‘Quite frankly, we have nothing to lose’: how the UK is going weird for its 2026 Eurovision entry”

    “So, quite frankly, we have nothing to lose. And if that means entering a guy who runs a museum for “experimental and obsolete scientific and musical technology” in Ramsgate and whose name makes me die a little bit every time I have to type it out, then so be it. We’re going to lose anyway, so what the hell.”

    Stuart, you’re really pissing me off with your high and mighty “artiste” bullshit. Sam has genuinely good music, with a very creative aesthetic. Just because he doesn’t do pop music that hits top 10 for ten weeks straight doesn’t mean his work is without merit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irfXSw55DUo&list=PLluPQLh1xzlKkAfB-joSEaccwQBr6OSi1

      There’s also this in the last paragraph:

      The most recent video on Look Mum No Computer’s YouTube channel is a clip from a concert, where he attempts to piece together a Blur song on the fly, all by himself, on a bank of ancient electronic instruments.

      The link goes to Feel Good Inc by Gorillaz. The title says Gorillaz too. I mean, sure, Damon Albarn is in both of them, but if he knew that in order to make the Blur connection then it only makes it weirder to mix them up

        There’s definitely a Song 2 cover and it used to pop up pretty high in the search results - but it’s also ancient and this is still lazy journalism.
