Dateline: BUCHAREST

Think shallow. Think light. Think sun. Think summer.

Most people around here [including myself, although for entirely different reasons] are counting the days till the local elections [with the first round scheduled on june 1]. What about a totally different kind of countdown? A countdown to Euro 2008?

According to the official site, we are now at D - 35. And counting. Just to whet your appetite, below is the official anthem of the swiss national team [courtesy of my friend OB]. Once you get past the fucked up German and the strange French, I have to admit it is a pretty cool football song. Allez les gars, gagnez-la

Manu Chao will be coming to Bucharest for Best’Fest. When is that by the way? I am excited, have been waiting to hear him live for a while now. I guess now it’s a bit late, I am no longer as rebel as I was when Radio Bemba came out in 2002, but I still love his last album La Radiolina, and so I am looking forward to seeing him there.

Also, dEUS will be coming to StufStock! Now that came as a bit of a shock, I don’t think that Stufstock deserves dEUS. By the way, they came out with a new album a few weeks ago. You can listen to it here, although the link was down at the time I tried (Thanks, Z.)
