I have to say, I'm getting a kind of late start this week, but I am here now to inform you of a definite winner! As I'm sure many of you probably already know (outside of the U.S. at least), the Eurovision Song Contest is now over and done with for this year, bringing a brand new victor into our midst. Loreen of Sweden with her song, Euphoria! Euphoria by Loreen: (http://youtu.be/Z4PMQB5zmAU) Born Lorine Zineb Noka Talhaoui of Stockholm, Sweden, Loreen has had a pretty well off singing career even before this big win. She took part in the first Sweden's Idol competition in 2004, placing fourth overall. And her hit single My Heart is Refusing Me, released in February of 2011, peaked at number 9 on the Swedish charts and earned two platinum awards. But last Saturday night, May 26th, by a margin of 113 points, Loreen won the Eurovision Song Contest with a final score of 372 points! And now her song is currently topping charts throughout Europe! Well deserved I'd say! Also, this win brings Sweden's total win count over the history of the contest to five! Only two below the leader, Ireland, with seven wins.

Alright guys! Here we have one playlist, as promised. It isn't too too long, as there weren't too many shared this time around, but I still hope you enjoy it! Just for a recap, this one covers the posts from April 23 to May 25 (yesterday). It also includes the lovely songs featured in my evil game. ;P Enjoy!

Well, it has been a busy past couple of weeks, and this is the first time in a while now that I've gotten a chance to put a song up for you guys. I apologize, but with finals out of the way I can finally give my attention back to y'all! ;) And now that summer break is upon us, I figured that sharing this song would be appropriate. I have to say, I enjoy their performance on this video. School's Out by Alice Cooper (http://youtu.be/XbNEOJMGFAo) This lovely rock classic was released in 1972 by the hard rock great, Alice Cooper of Detroit, Michigan. As many of you may know, Cooper is well known for his theatrical performances on stage, sometimes featuring things like fake blood, guillotines, and boa constrictors. Throughout his more than forty year long career, he has released a total of twenty-six studio albums, the most recent one in September of 2011. Also in 2011, his original band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I'd say he is one of those busy guys eh? Oh, as a little footnote here, I'll be getting on giving you guys that long overdue playlist sometime today or tomorrow. Till then, enjoy! More info: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Cooper)
