Something odd is happening - the Eurovision Song Contest is starting to become cool again. Only cool in the sense that a couple of middle-aged past-their-prime popstars suddenly want to write Eurovision songs, mind, but that's still an improvement.

After it was rumoured that miserable 1980s warbler Morrissey was in talks to write and possibly perform the UK entry for Eurovision 2007, miserable 1990s warbler Jarvis Cocker has now announced that he wants to write and possibly perform the UK entry for Eurovision 2008. Fingers crossed that this Eurovision Britpop revival continues just like this; after Morrissey and Jarvis Cocker, we want to see the Eurovision 2009 UK entry performed by the effing bassist out of Sleeper or something.
