Running Scared

MME = Metal, Muppets & Eurovision. Far older than you probably think. Far too old to be using tumblr.

Hi Leigh ;)

Debenhams have rolled out size 16 mannequins to show the shape of "real women".... So because I eat well and exercise daily, I'm not real?

So Metallica headlined a pop festival...

It's a great moment for the superior heavy metal genre. The hipsters have finally listened to good music. Given this, I thought I'd do a list of things I would like to see happen in metal.... - clown announces that Corey Taylor has been removed from Slipknot with immediate effect. Joey Jordison and Anders Colsefni promptly rejoin and they record the greatest album known to alt metal, with Josh Brainard rejoining to play bass on the record - the Murderdolls also reform. - Dani Filth has an epiphany, realises his band has been awful now for over a decade and nobody listens. Promptly disbands - Emperor decides to get back together for good. - Gojiras next album goes to number 1 and everybody realises how brilliant they are - the UKs national anthem is changed to The Trooper by Iron Maiden. - Arch Enemy brings back Angela and apologise to everyone. - David Silveria deletes his Facebook, his twitter, you get the idea. - Nightwish quits being a massive soap opera cheese fest and goes back to the brilliant music produced on Oceanborn and the like. - I become greatest drummer/bassist/keyboardist/singer known to metal. - Beyoncé is tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity for making my ears bleed.

My Eurovision 2014 top 36 (at the moment)

Like most people, songs will grow on me and I'll get bored of some but here's my current top 37.... 37. Georgia lolwut? 36. Russia So average. They'll steal a final stop, very undeservedly. 35. Austria Dull. Cliche. Relying on kitsche! Shame this country produced one of my favourite ever entries... 34. Azerbaijan All of their entries since 2009 have been rubbish and clearly places were bought with songs so rubbish. Again will steal (well, buy in their case) an undeserved final spot. 33. Portugal Sorry does nothing 32. San Marino What happened?! I wanted a winner from Valentina... Gutted. 31. Latvia It's better than some in the past, but still not great. They should probably give up. 30. Belgium Soz, don't get it. No melody 29. Estonia Quite generic 28. Switzerland Nice, but forgettable 27. Italy I really don't like her voice. Their worse since their return. 26. The Netherlands Its sweet but I don't think it'll suit a Eurovision audience 25. Lithuania Too busy 24. Ukraine I hated it at first, but it's slowly growing on me with every listen 23. Norway Again, just nothing really standing out to me. 22. Germany I don't see it doing well, it's very eurovisiony mind. 21. Moldova Dark :) 20. FYR Macedonia Very mainstream, hope there's not heartbreak again though for them. 19. Albania Definitely listenable IMO. Better in native language though. 18. Poland Better in the native language, but a grower! 17. Malta Very Mumford and sons-esque, but would that be popular in esc? 16. Israel Yeah alright! Nothing amazing but sure will do well 15. Slovenia Quite nice really, improvement on last year 14. Sweden Don't get the hype, will do well cos it's Sweden 13. Ireland I suppose we will give it like 8 points, not stand out for me though really. I loved last year. 12. Greece Can always count on Greece for something listenable :) 11. Finland Best of theirs for a while. Love a bit of rock! 10. Iceland Guilty pleasure number 2! 9. Montenegro Very nice song, I hope it does well! 8. Romania Messy in parts but will do very very well. 7. Belarus Guilty pleasure number 1! 6. Denmark Very Bruno Mars like and very good live 5. France Love it. Will probs fair similar to 2010 4. Spain She just needs to work on the live performance and it should just be sung in English I think. 3. Hungary Soooo my kinda thing 2. UK Wooooo our best entry in friggin forever 1. Armenia Truly brilliant. I hope it wins :)

Slipknot before Corey Taylor and Roadrunner was some listenable shizz. That bass.
