Seeing as most of you are snowed in (I’m looking out at a blue sky with a bit of sun, actually), you can make good use of your time by sending in the best lowculture-related snow-related picture or article you can find. The best one might appear here.
Here’s avid Twitterer Phillip Schofield, pictured coping [...]

Ukraine: Shady Lady, Ani Lorak/??? ?????
“There are many shady ladies here,” declared Ani Lorak a couple of days ago, as she described the scene around her during rehearsals in Beograd. And we can imagine to whom she was referring too. This particular shady lady, however, has arrived at [...]

France: Divine, Sébastien Tellier
It’s French day today, and I’m going to go one about Serge Gainsbourg for a bit. Now, normally, you wouldn’t think that the French had really cared about Eurovision in recent years. Long gone are the halcyon days of Gainsbourg-penned melodies. However, Sébastien Tellier [...]

Norway: Hold On Be Strong, Maria Haukaas Storeng

Czech Republic: Have Some Fun, Tereza Kerndlová

Malta: Vodka, Morena
Seemingly not a fan-favourite. I don’t care. From the moment Morena graces the Maltese stage with HAIR and EYES and LIPS and LEGS, she basically owns the entire island. And this is before she’s even gone into the crowd mid-performance to get everyone off their [...]

Eurovision 2008 Song of the Day
Iceland: This Is My Life, Eurobandið
This is a massive song, performed with aplomb (yes, a big plomb) by Friðrik and Regína, with the legendary Páll Óskar pulling the strings (he’s already sacked the back-up dancers for something much more amazing instead. They’re pissed off – we don’t care). [...]

So, basically, lowculture has, erm, taken the day off, what with the wind and rain and what-have-you.

Bonsoir! Oui, c’est bien moi, la Céline Dion, chanteuse québécoise et mère extraordinaire. Mes chers, chers amis au lowculture veulent que je discute quelques petites chansons qui vont participer au concours de la Grand Prix de l’Eurovision!
After those little words of French, I must speak to you in English. You know, people, [...]

I see a little silhouetto of a muppet.
Oh dear, what are you on about now? Join the discussion here.
I saw them perform it "live" on GMTV this morning and I nearly spluttered out my tea.
