This week, we’re going back to the roots of my obsession with European music videos. It’s Lordi’s new video of their hit single that won the Eurovision Song Contest last year:

Lordi - “Hard Rock Hallelujah”

Mmm… Krispy Klingons…

You all are too uncultured. I think you need some education… music education… foreign music education. Every Saturday, I’ll be posting a music video by a foreign band you’ve probably never heard of in your life. But that’s what makes it fun! These songs will mainly be from Europe, for the simple fact that European music is crazy and therefore rocks.

Volume 1: Diskoteka Avaria - “Pei Pivo”

Best I can tell, they’re singing about beer… Maybe…

It’s that time of the year again. That’s right - Eurovision is only a month away! The European version of American Idol that’s been going on for more than 50 years is one of my favorite things each year. Dozens of countries hold competitions to select a band that will represent their nation in the international competition each May - and some of the selections are… interesting, to say the least. I’ll be posting a few over the coming weeks which I found to be particularly quirky/excellent/downright creepy. Up first, the competitors from Israel:

Teapacks - “Push the Button”
