favourite Music 2018 [ESC-style] 2018 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #12 #11 #10 #9 #8 #7 #6 #5 #4 #3 #2 #1 Here we go, my favourite songs from 2018. Nothing too difficult here, haven't heard too many things I like this year.

Where did you get that from?

What are your favourite songs or bands? I'm going to post my own 2018 year-end charts TISC/ESC-style soon (12 songs, one per nation) and I'm planning to do so for every year I can, so it's always nice to find something new from other countries.

Probably because of the IOC code. When they see BUR, they think of Burundi first.

You're living in the Pyeongchang Olympic Stadium?

Why?

Songs simply titled 'Music'. Madonna - Music Erick Sermon feat. Marvin Gaye - Music Darude - Music

Yes, but without the excessive use of chocolate, please.

That's good for diversity at least, since in regular (men's) football, only Europe is top level.

Not true at all. Even Saudi Arabia has good FIFA players. Even Laos and Turkmenistan have Hearthstone players though it's questionable how good they are. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_sports_at_the_2017_Asian_Indoor_and_Martial_Arts_Games

There's too much rivalry between England and Scotland for there to be a free ticket.

The most random fact I can come up with. In Kylie Minogue's music video for "Your Disco Needs You", one of the tube lights (between "I" and "S" in "DISCO"; 6th from the left) has a malfunction as soon as they are coming down (0:15). It just flashes in static orange until 0:25 while all others are changing colours. Same from 0:32 to 0:51 but it gets fixed later on.

What about casu marzu?

Tried out some Japanese stuff for the very first time. Here we have onigiri (rice balls) in non-traditional shape with gomashio seasoning (sea salt, roasted black pepper) and tuna mayonnaise filling. Also, I tried making okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake) which can literally speaking be done in any way you like. I added leftover cabbage, spring onion, egg and ham. Also some fish sauce to taste and bacon mayonnaise on top. I'm very satisfied with my results.

So in a nutshell, this is not really Italian, though it says "prodotto in Italia"?

My Chinese-style beef and spring onion wok stir-fry with Szechuan pepper, Chinese vermicelli (rice noodles) and egg white.

Everything related to food and drinks in here.

Congrats to the winners. After listening to all the songs, I ranked them in order. So with points, my picks would have been... 1. New Zealand NZL - 12 Points 2. Lithuania LTU - 11 Points 3. Ireland IRL - 10 Points 4. Slovakia SVK - 9 Points 5. Romania ROU - 8 Points 6. Slovenia SLO - 7 Points (GB's pick somewhere here) 7. France FRA - 6 Points 8. Italy ITA - 5 Points 9. India IND - 4 Points 10. Russia RUS - 3 Points 11. Turkey TUR - 2 Points 12. United States USA - 1 Point Greece and Indonesia close behind.

But my podium would consist of olives, broccoli and spring onion.

It's also a bit boring because we only get to see powerhouses competing. Samoa or Nigeria should have somebody here, for example.

These World Standards are very weird, how can the World Standard in the new Women's -87kg for Snatch be 132kg and 164kg for C&J when the now historic WRs for Women's -90kg are 130kg and 160kg, respectively?

It's more urban to start a word (or an acronym) with a lowercase letter followed by an uppercase one.

What's so interesting about drinking alcohol?

Like ice sailing.
