Eurovision according to Finders Keepers
The Finders Keepers radio renegades gather once again to bring you a special edition satellite show, custom orchestrated to celebrate the return to our screens of the longest-running annual international TV song competition aka Eurovision. Yes, that's right, the outer national psychedelic librarians behind one of the most alternative outer national record labels on the pear-shaped planet are here to prove that the genre that we've loosely termed as B-Music exists in all corners of the vinyl vault and even the most hell-bent ambitious entrants for the kitschiest competition show in Europe have bones in the closet, irons in the fire and bats in the belfry - all of which crop up on Eurovison single B-Sides, previous precocious pressings or post mic-battle bounce backs.
If we're not making ourselves clear here, lets just clarify. Outside of the competition these Eurovisionaries also made some pretty good synthy, fuzzy, drum heavy records when left to their own devices and Finders Keepers Radio is here to prove it. So sit back in your favourite chair, pour yourself a Babycham, light up that dangerous fondue oil and marvel as we bring you resilient rock follies from the likes of Greece, Turkey, Belgium, Luxembourg etc. while trying not to count the amount of times we use the phrases "You Were Robbed" and "Repeat Offender" safe in the knowledge that we're already panning next years follow up show every time we hit foreign thrift stores. This one's for you, Terry.
Listen to the Finders Keepers salute to Eurovision right here.
