Who were those masked men?

Incredibly, Lordi has won the Eurovision Song Contest. And apparently, it wasn't even close. (Thanks, KPK.)

It's really a pity they're terrible. I wanted to see them win all the way, though.


FMFM: Bill Evans' Village Vanguard date, on double vinyl from Milestone. This is harmonically fascinating, although so un-flashy that it could almost pass for a George Winston record if you're not paying close enough attention. Evans' left hand continues to amaze, and Scott LaFaro appears to be at the peak of his powers just ten days before his untimely demise. A lovely session.
