Silly Emma Shah. Didn’t someone tell her that singing in Hebrew could warrant harrassment by psychotic clerics?

Can these two ever behave? Fans can’t even enjoy a damned show without these two clowns fighting over nothing and ruining a concert out of sheer ego. It’s no wonder Emerson, Lake & Palmer imploded. No arena could house such pretentious egos.

A Norwegian singer and violinist of Belarusian descent pulled off the victory at this year’s Eurovision Contest.  It’s usually laced with dreadful competitors singing twee songs, but this year’s winner, Alexander Rybak, actually has a bit of talent.  Next year’s Eurovision will be held in Oslo thanks to the Rybak win.

Here’s a clip from the BBC:

The Museo Tamayo isn’t just one of the coolest galleries in Mexico; it’s also one of the best hangouts for jazz musicians from Mexico and beyond. Bassist Agustín Bernal and his quartet perform in Mexico City. See the flyer below.

Leonard Cohen.

Paste Magazine gives us the news that Leonard is back. It’s been way too long since we’ve seen him play live, and it’ll be a treat to watch the old man tour again.

YMO.

Lucky buggers. You get to see a show I’d kill to see! YMO will be part of the Meltdown Festival, hosted by Massive Attack, a wonderful band in their own right. The article is here, but be warned that it’s in Japanese. Use Babelfish to get an idea of what’s going on.
