Hi there! 🙂

Probably because it was a bloody ABBA routine, and everybody looooves ABBA.

The first review of this album I've read that doesn't take cheap shots at 'gatekeepers' and such. I still hate the album though.

Ben ik even blij dat ik geen Spotify-account meer heb. 🤣

Totally. And like I said, 99% of it is laughably terrible. But when a singer can rock a stage like this...

It's really quite simple: I love watching these mega schlager pop shows on German tv for laughs, because they're so bad. It's like Eurovision on steroids, and most artists are truly awful. With one exception: Helene Fischer, the biggest star of the bunch, who happens to be an astounding singer.

2.5 hours in and the queen still hasn't graced us with her presence. It's absolutely excruciating. 🤣

Schlagerbooom, when you think Strictly is a bit too tame....

That deserves a Fozzie...

It's Weird Music Night at Slim Chance HQ. #NowPlaying the ancient Cramps classic Smell of Female before switching to German tv for Schlagerbooom, wich will be terrible for the most part! Although I have it on good authority that Queen Helene will make an appearance, so it won't be all bad...

The Mambo guy?

In case you didn’t know, the album cover for Hope Is the Thing with Feathers is actually an image of six-by-six-foot patchwork quilt made by textile artist Uzoma Samuel Anyanwu, based on a photograph by Ebru Yildiz. Two days before the album came out, I finally got to see this masterpiece in person.

She did. That's awesome.

Ditched all other plans for the night and went on a date with Lady Day.

That's a lovely canoe.

Er is daarbinnen een bezweringsritueel aan de gang om de geest van Steve Jobs op te roepen.
