Walrus - Euro 2020 mutant edition

    Hello!

    We've not had a Walrus for a while so I thought I'd try an experiment. Walrus at its roots is about finding new music, so why don't we do that together?

    The Euro 2020 connection:

    If you want to play I will you a PM and I will randomly pick a country taking part in Euro 2020. It's then your job to find a musical gem either from that nation or connected to that nation. So for example for Germany, you could either pick Rammstein (from Germany) OR Regina Spektor – Düsseldorf (references Germany).

    The idea being that we will both have to do a little work here and hopefully hear something new as a result.

    If we can get say, 10 picks I'll run a reveal thread. There will be a fairly long sign up of a couple of weeks to give everyone time to do their research.

    If you are interested, say so on thread and I will PM you a randomly selected country.

    Gwan, I've never done a Walrus and this is suitably vague to garner my interest :)

    Sounds like a great idea, I'm in

    Also, lets keep everyone's country as a SECRET for now, we can do that as part of the reveal.

    I shouldn't do this - but go on

    What's the time limit to find some decent North Macedonian music?

    As much time as you want, but if you don't get them from the randominator then it's time poorly spent :pac:

    Believe it or not, I have a good option for North Macedonia - but I'm afraid it doesn't fit with fixxxer's music preferences (based on what I have observed in previous walruses)

    Don't worry about this, I want to be exposed to new things and new experiences.
