Yeah, I thought the French entry was great. Sebastien Tellier is a legend. His song 'La Ritournelle' is pure class.

French one was so cool! I might investigate Sebastien Tellier's back catalogue at some point! If that came from an Eastern European country it probably would have won.
Didn't see the Bosnian one properly, but were they the people with the laundry theme?

Just heard this on the latest Renault advert on tv last night and was trying to place the song! It is good.

He's not to everybody's taste, but that is a fantastic song. Check out the ink in my sig if you want a listen.

No problem. Afrobeat king Tony Allen drums on that track. He's got incredible technical ability.

Keep it on-topic (i.e. not the competition in general, just its "indie" tunes). Thanks.
