[eurovision-facts]

Hi! Love your posts !! Suggestion for a fact (if you take those): Eurocat. The 1990 Eurovision featured an animated purple cat in the postcards (?) named Eurocat and I’ve never seen anyone mention anything about his existence. I only learned about him bc I was researching old shows and saw him mentioned on the Wikipedia page. 10/10

Eurovision Fact #477:

Eurocat was the mascot created for the 1990 Eurovision Song Contest in Zagreb. He appeared at the beginning of each postcard in an animated short that featured a blue background with the name of the country repeating on a diagonal and some cultural representation of the country being showcased that Eurocat would interact with.

For example, on the postcard for Spain, Eurocat blew bubbles that formed the Olympic rings, calling to the fact that Spain would host the Summer Games in two years.

Eurocat was created by Joško Marušić, who is credited for his as a member of the directors of the per-production materials for the contest for animation.

While introducing Belgium, commentator Terry Wogan spoke a bit about the mascot saying, "Eurocat! A tomcat who's slightly neurotic, not too silly, and eminently lovable." He also later said while introducing Luxembourg that he was "trying to ignore this cat," adding "I don't think he's gonna go away though," under his breath.

[ENG translation] The love status of the members of the most famous Slovenian band.

Joker Out has finally been revealed!

FOR NET.HR / The love status of the members of the most famous Slovenian band Joker Out has finally been revealed!

Their Balkan tour will start soon as well.

Slovenian band Joker Out wins the audience over with their infectious indie rock sound and energetic performances. Founded in 2016, the band quickly gained popularity in the Balkans due to their authenticity. They gained European fame after their performance at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2023, when they represented Slovenia with the song 'Carpe Diem' and got in the finals. In the finals, they finished 21st with 78 points. Despite the fact that they weren't as successful in the finals, they won the hearts of the audience, so 'Carpe Diem' was on numerous music charts throughout Europe, including Croatia.

This month they will perform at Tvornica Kulture in Zagreb for the second time, and on this occasion we spoke with the band's frontman, Bojan Cvjetićanin.

How has your daily life changed after the Eurovision Song Contest?

Well, I think that certainly none of us have travelled as much as we have travelled in the past year and a half. We've been to a lot of new countries and cities, so we've experienced a lot of new cultures. It was interesting to see where these people come from to our concerts. What is their reality? What is their daily life like? What do they watch? What do they see? What do they feel? What do they hear? So, I'd say that the biggest change happened in the transformation from our wardrobes into suitcases.

Where do you perform most often, which performance would you single out as your best?

We've performed the most in Finland, Poland and probably Germany and England, but there are quite a few places where we played a lot. Honestly, it would be hard for me to single out any performance as undisputedly the best. I know there were a couple of performances where we were very surprised by the reaction of the audience. These were, for example, our concert at Belgrade Beer Fest, our concert at Šalata in Zagreb, and our concert at Ruisrock in Finland. Poland also knocked us off our feet, and so on and so forth.

Do fans stop you on the street?

They stop us sometimes. Especially in Slovenia, and it also happens in Finland and the Balkan countries, but it's a very positive thing.

Do you plan to focus only on the Balkan scene or the European scene as well?

The next tour, where we will present our third studio album, starts on the 22nd of November, and it will only be in the Balkans. Our plan and wish was, kind of, to enjoy the tour as much as possible, and that's why we chose this region where we are at home, but next year we will surely return to Europe.

Which performer from the Balkans would you like to collaborate and record a song with?

Given that I'm currently the only one answering, I wouldn't want to answer on behalf of everyone, but I can say for myself that I'd like a song with Zdravko Čolić¹.

¹Zdravko Čolić is a Bosnian-Serbian pop singer and is widely considered one of the greatest vocalists and cultural icons of the former Yugoslavia.

How do you spend your free time?

We spend our free time in different ways, but let's say we do sports. We like reading books. There are some chefs in the band and we love fishing, too.

What's the love status of the band members?

We're absolutely in love with each other and ourselves.

Please reblog for a bigger sample size!

If you have any fun fact about Slovenia, please tell us and I'll reblog it!

Edit: Ljubljana is spelled wrong in the poll.

[theyhavetakenovermylife]

Hiii! If you remember I'm your croatian follower, we talked about crazy balkan media and eurovision. I just switched accounts and deleted my old one. But that's besides the point because this USA vs European fans one shot made me laugh.

But I personally think the person who would give European reader the most shit about the differences would be Vern. I think he would just group all slavic accents as Russians or Europeans from bigger countries as fancy french folk etc. Or he would be kinda offended because we tend to be alot more blunt even if not with ill intentions

I also think master splinter would probably be most eager to learn and try the traditional foods and drinks.

Anyway I just wanted to share my thoughts and possibly talk to you. Unfortunately when I deleted my account I lost all the posts I liked from your blog but I'm sure I'll have more to like now on my new account. Hope you are doing well😊

Hello my favorite Croat!💚

I have a feeling that Splinter would just know a bunch of stuff about all sorts of countries, European or not. He will know a lot about traditions, and even if he has no idea what one is talking about, he will happily listen and ask questions, and even ask you to show him, how you cook certain foods.

Fucking, Vern is the time of guy that say "Europe, EU. What's the difference?", say that Slovenia and Slovakia is the same country, believe that Denmark and the Netherlands is the same country, yet somehow group Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein and the Netherlands as Germany. I have so many.

"Of course I know about Europe, (Y/N)! There's the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Scandinavia and Russia!"

Andorra? He has never head of it. Luxembourg? Nope. Monaco? Hell no. San Marino? Doesn't ring a bell. The Vatican? - "That's just Rome".

"Isn't Ireland in the UK?"

"You know, Scandinavia. Just like Finland".

"What do you mean Yugoslavia isn't a country anymore?"

"Did that Brit really just say fag to me???"

"Greece, Italy, Spain, all the same. They are old".

"Georgia is not in Europe! It's a state, (Y/N)!"

"Speak slowly (Y/N). I don't speak European".

"Estonia? Latvia? Lithuania? What is that?"

"Moldova? What's that?"

"Romania isn't in Russia???"

"WAIT PRUSSIA ISN'T JUST OLD RUSSIA?!"

Or some inspired by things actual Americans have asked me or told me and my mom (my mom lived a year in the US in a Bible Belt state):

"Do you have phones in your home country, (Y/N)?"

"How was your first experience on a high way? No, I've never heard of the Autobahn".

"Hey, Europe. In America we speak English".

"Walkable cities are a scam".

"Wait. If you're European, (Y/N), then are you a communist?"

"Don't lie to me, (Y/N). There's no black people in European. You are all too racist for that".

And the one that almost made me throw hands:

"Denmark doesn't exist. You live in the Netherlands".

BITCH VERN, WE MIGHT BOTH BE FLAT AS FUCK, BUT OUR WINDMILLS ARE NOTHING ALIKE!!! THEY HAVE GABBER! WE HAVE DAKKE! THEY HAVE STROOPWAFEL! WE HAVE BUTTER COOKIES!! WE'RE NOT THE SAME!!!

Yeah, I feel like Vern would get more than a few slaps from a European reader😂

Speaking gods words, the English version of saša is the most dramatic stray away from the original

and novi fosili is actually so funny. they will make the boppiest most happiest sounding song and then you look at the lyrics and it's like "there's no hope for us!!! you stole all my dreams!!!!" and "shoo, shoo <3 i heard you're cheating on me with her again <3" like. literally our Neru.

I know we said we aren't talking about Eurovision at all not to give them engagement, but I'm gonna be honest, that was before the entire shitshow even started.

Now, I think we should talk about it. All the time really. This is one of the worst organized music events in the history and the worst Eurovision ever organized. Just to make it clear, they hosted a Eurovision when USSR and Yugoslavia collapsed, and it was better organized and more peaceful than current Eurovision. All because they want to let alt right terrorists perform a song about how much they love terrorism.

Which is why we have to talk about this. We need to make this the taint in Eurovision's record. We need to make sure this disaster of an event is never forgotten, and to become a synonym for Eurovision "united by music". I want to see videos about Eurovision 2024 in the same vein I see videos about Fyre Festival.

From multiple countries threatening to drop out, to israel harassing everyone who doesn't wanna do a promo video, to Ukraine putting israeli rep on a pro-putin extremist watchlist, to Netherlands being disqualified for allegedly beating up a woman, only for it to come that he gave a woman making fun of his dead parents a nasty look, to non-binary flags and traditional palestinian wear being banned for being "too political", to snipers on the roof outside the venue, the disaster that was semi-final 2 press tour, israelis terrorizing people on the event, italian rep doing an improv press release in the middle of all this mayhem where she breaks into singing Imagine by John Lennon, the boo-ing so loud it made one of the supervisors consider quitting, Netherlands possibly sueing EBU and Spain possibly quitting Eurovision (they're one of the main funders).

Absolute disaster of the event. 10th May will go down in history as the day that forever altered Eurovision, possibly even killed it. They had 12 emergency meetings over last 3 days. Just to avoid banning israel because their company is a major sponsor.
