With Eurovision season starting to come up, this is a great video going behind the scenes of last year’s Eurovision Song Contest - how it came to be, as well as all the technical stuff that made the show what it was.

One of the best jungle tracks to exist, a cultural touchstone for the UK

Here’s another video that is music-aligned, featuring Shaun Ryder (Happy Monday’s/Black Grape) - certainly an interesting watch (might require a VPN for viewing outside of the UK sadly):

Kind of odd and freaky, I’ve watched a fair few Punk Rock MBA videos over the years and he always seemed to be genuinely for the cause of music but apparently not…

Do you think this interview is genuine? Even without AI, this could easily have been faked.

Or do you it’s fake?
It’s odd anyway.

Yeah I believe so; I think he probably did have a real interest in music at some point, but decided to turn his passion into his job and thus eroded his passion and now he resents the thing he once enjoyed and is going out swinging.

I think it’s genuine but I also think he’s trolling a bit.

“In Eindhoven, Netherlands, students at the Metal Factory (MF) can earn a degree in metal music that includes learning the art of growling. This unique program, part of Summa College, equips students with technical skills for metal singing while emphasizing emotional expression and vocal safety. The program, led by professionals like metal singer Marcella Bovio, aims to challenge stereotypes about metal music and its community, highlighting its inclusivity and artistry.”

Two from me today, this is the second one

Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan in A COMPLETE UNKNOWN, the ballad of a true original. A Film by James Mangold. Co-starring Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, and Monica Barbaro. Only in theaters Christmas Day.

Set in the influential New York music scene of the early 60s, A COMPLETE UNKNOWN follows 19-year-old Minnesota musician BOB DYLAN’s (Timothée Chalamet) meteoric rise as a folk singer to concert halls and the top of the charts – his songs and mystique becoming a worldwide sensation – culminating in his groundbreaking electric rock and roll performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.

Thanks for sharing (I actually saw the film the other day) but this sort of video isn’t the theme for this thread; please share things like video essays or publicly viewable documentaries with a focus on music, music industry, music jouranlism, music technology etc.

Because I rewatched Better Man the other day, and it is amusing to me how much of an unknown Robbie Williams is in the US, I thought I’d share this pretty interesting look into boyband-life and -afterlife focused around Take That, and the various spats that ensued.

Spoilers: this is what the monkey looks like without the CGI.

have you seen the unhinged posts Robbie puts on his Instagram?

I kinda love them, also his comment on a news article about him…
