Off Topic - The Superhoops music thread

i would have prefered to have listened to five minutes of oranges bouncing down stairs than whatever passes for his tunes

 

I like that. Nope, hadn't heard it yet, cheers Steels.

 

Funnily enough his new album is called 'Oranges Bouncing Down Stairs'. The title track is exactly 5 minutes long.

Will post it on here just for you when the video is released.

 

EP due in August Hoop Leif and a project he intends to keep coming back to with different artist collaborations. Should be interesting.

 

Brilliant

After boos from the crowd inside the Malmo Arena were unexpectedly low scores for the likes of Austria and Norway, Olly awaited his fate, only to then found out he'd got zero from viewers at home, condemning him to an 18th place Eurovision finish overall.

As in years gone by, a full voting breakdown was released by organsers the EBU after the final, with the televote rankings for Olly from each country becoming available online. Each nation's votes ranked the finalists from 1 to 25 and the stats don't make for good reading for the UK, with his highest being just 14th and him being last with a number of countries.

is it too hard to sing in the national language
they had four to choose from

The four national languages of Switzerland are German, French, Italian, and Romansh.[3] German, French, and Italian maintain equal status as official languages at the national level within the Federal Administration of the Swiss Confederation, while Romansh is used in dealings with people who speak it

 

Whoo oh oh oh
We beat the Leeds
Whoo oh oh oh
Four nil four nil

You’ll never sing that whilst wearing an Olly Alexander codpiece.
