[CanYoAssDigIt] Fwd: [canadianclassicrock] From the people who brought you Abba and Celine Dioff ...

Hey Renz,

you were so certain they wouldn't win! How I wish I would have put
some money down at those 11 to 1 odds...

I guess you don't know everything there is to know about the music
business after all... oh, sure, everybody loves Kelly Clarkson and
Mariah Carey, but from now on, when it comes to the Majesty of Rock,
and the Pageantry of Roll, Make Mine Lordi!

Prepare for the Arockalypse!

The day of rockoning is at hand!

Finland's Monster Rockers Lordi Sweep to Victory in Eurovision

May 21 (Bloomberg) -- Lordi, a Finnish heavy-metal band that performs
in monster masks, won the 51st Eurovision Song Contest in Athens, the
first time Finland has won the contest in 40 years of trying.

``Hard Rock Hallelujah'' received 292 points from a telephone vote in
38 countries, beating Russian heart-throb Dima Bilan, who received 248
points. Bosnia-Herzegovina's Hari Mata Hari, a star in the former
Yugoslavia before the country descended into civil war in the early
1990s, was third with 229 points.

Lordi's victory will bring the Eurovision Song Contest to Finland for
the first time. Best known for Nokia phones, Finland had never placed
higher than sixth in the Eurovision Song Contest, the world's
most-watched song contest.

``How weird is this,'' the singer known as ``Mr. Lordi'' said in a
televised news conference after the event. ``We're a rock band and we
just won a pop song contest.''

First held in 1956, the Eurovision contest is best known for launching
the careers of performers such as Abba and Celine Dion. Last year's
final in the Ukraine was watched by more than 100 million viewers in
40 countries, three times the number of viewers who watched the final
of ``American Idol,'' the biggest U.S. television hit.

Lordi, rated 11/1 to win the final by bookmakers William Hill on
Friday, beat the favorites, Sweden's Carola and Greece's Anna Vissi,
the host country's entrant. Malta's Fabrizio Faniello avoided the
dreaded ``null'' points when it received one point from Albania,
placing last.

Twenty-four countries competed in the final, including first-timer
Armenia, which finished eighth with 129 points.

[CanYoAssDigIt] News...

I have put a page up of wimps songs at:

www.soundclick.com/wimps

and created a myspace page at

www.myspace.com/wimpsoly ("wimp" "wimps" "thewimps" were already taken).

Myspace is where everybody goes, but soundclick allows you to upload
many songs more than myspace's total of 4, so I created pages at both
places. There are about a dozen songs at soundclick - eventually there
will be 27, several of them duplicates. as best I can remember, we had
about 18 songs at our peak - 2 of the last ones written were never
recorded as far as we know, and are lost and forgotten, so enjoy what
remains. Ron Arant provided me the mp3 files, which I appreciate a
good deal.

Mike Shaughnessy infomred me that he's on this list - I previously
said he wasn't, my mistake. Hi Mike

Thanks to Tobi for providing the link to her current band's MySpace page

http://www.myspace.com/spiderandthewebs

One song, and over 12,500 plays - between them all, the 4 wimps songs
have enjoyed an anemic 98 plays total. So indulge your nostalgia,
download some wimps, and boost those numbers.

If any of you have myspace (or other) pages for new or defunct bands,
please post the URL to the list.

Bryan, have you connected with James? I know some people were trying
to help you hook up. If it didn't work out, let me know, and I'll try
again.

Tonight I saw the future of rock and roll:

http://buttersprites.com/

and it looks (and sounds) a lot like the past. Kind of a cross
between Beat Happening and Wimps, with some B-52s and Shonin Knife
liberally mixed in. A lot of fun.
