Ok fuck it I’ll just ask, does anyone actually know why Conor pronounces Bojan as Bo-Han?

Is it cause they were introduced in Madrid and the Spanish speakers pronounce it that way? Does Bojan call himself Bo-Han in Spanish?

My thoughts on Madrid's Pre Party

Everyone was pretty much okay, especially the bands. They were awesome!

Blanka was still as bad as I remembered lol

Reiley was also quite bad... Very off-key

Brunette's "Future Lover" lost a bit of power in comparison to the recorded version. But she's still an awesome singer

Vesna was a bit of a letdown. I only enjoyed the chorus and even then, they're off-key...

Luke Black's moans still make me a bit uncomfortable 😂

Mae Muller is very unstable. The da-da-das of her song are bad :')

I was SO SCARED for Austria's Teya & Selena's performance but they sure made the stage a big party!

Käärijä didn't disappoint 😌✨

Loreen was awesome on stage too! Love that she took off those long-ass nails 😂

Alika, La Zarra, Alessandra, Mimicat, Iru, Blanca Paloma and Monika are INCREDIBLE performers!! Such clear voices. I'm in love 😭

Over all it was okay. I could see where all of these artists are at vocally, even if the sound wasn't the best. I can sort of guess who has possibilities to be the one whose voice breaks on stage lol

Demonstration in front of the High Court of Justice of Catalonia (the highest court of the Spanish judiciary system in Catalonia) in Barcelona in support of Dani Gallardo, a young Spanish anarchist who is sentenced to prison because the took part in a peaceful demonstration held in Madrid (Spain's capital city) in favour of Catalan people's right to self-determination and against the Spanish police's violence against Catalan people.

We have explained Dani's case before, you can read it in this post:

Dani has been sentenced guilty to send a message. Until his case, more than 4,200 Catalan people had been sentenced guilty for their involvement in the 2017 Catalan independence referendum or the protests that followed it. The Spanish judiciary system has proven that they won't stop at punishing Catalan people, they also sent the police to beat up the protestors who demonstrated for Catalonia in Madrid (Spain) and they're also jailing a Spanish man for his solidarity.

Dani was sentenced guilty of public disorder and attempt against authority with made-up claims that had been fabricated hours before he even got arrested. The Spanish police already planned to arrest people and blame them for this even before the event happened. Dani spent 13 months in pre-trial jail, then he was released for some time, and now has received the order to go to prison for 2 years and 11 months more.

Cases like this is why there is a demand for an amnesty. After the last elections to the Spanish government, the PSOE party needed the support of other parties to get enough votes to form government. One of the must-have demands of the Catalan political parties was an amnesty law (amnesty laws are not uncommon in Spain) that would cancel the punishments of people who have been found guilty of political crimes related to the independence movement since 2017, because none of these thousands of people committed real harmful crimes. This law is currently being negotiated, but the Spanish parties are trying to write it in a way that will leave as many people out of the amnesty as possible. At the same time, the Spanish judiciary system continues accusing new people of terrorism for attending peaceful political demonstrations.

For example, two democratically-elected pro-independence politicians (Puigdemont and Wagensberg) are being accused of terrorism for supposedly calling for people to protest in the Barcelona airport, a protest that was completely peaceful and which was called by a civil society organization and not by these politicians. But they're influential, so Spain looks for any way to punish them. How are the Spanish judiciaries claiming that Puigdemont and Wagensberg should be sentenced guilty of terrorism for an action where there was no terrorism? The Spanish judges' imagination has no limits when it comes to sentencing Catalans and Basques. They are saying that it's terrorism because some of the protestors had weapons. What weapons? Fire extinguishers, bottles, and the metal carts that people use to carry their luggage:

Because there were fire extinguishers and luggage carts in the airport and people brought their own water, a completely peaceful protest that happened there is terrorism. The worst part is that it doesn't outrage or surprise us anymore, because we're so used to this nonsense.

About Käärijä:

"We met Käärijä in Madrid at a pre-party, he was on a similar energy level as us - he didn't take himself too seriously and we didn't either. He was quite open-minded and had a positive approach to the whole situation, so we really connected on that level during the ESC when really huge things were happening to everyone, in the form of media pressure and everyday new situations, so it suited us all to have each other to share those feelings.

That's how we stayed in regular contact, we even played together on the Finnish tour when he left literally everything he had on his calendar and became part of the band for four days." (dude just say everything on his calendar was in fact 20k)

About Wasserman booking agency:

"We've always welcomed people into the team according to some key rule being that they enter our circle more or less naturally and we were lucky when things rose to a higher level that Ryan, our booking agent from Wasserman, got in touch with us because he was at our concert in London.

He liked how we functioned and wanted to start working together, so we're more than happy that a man from abroad was the first to join our team, someone who first enjoyed the performance, saw some bigger picture and himself as a part of it in maybe even bigger formats in the following years."

About 3rd album and relocating to London:

"Next year in January we're moving to London, where we plan to absorb new energy in an unfamiliar living space, so we will change the environment in order to create a new album that will be released by the end of October 2024 at the latest.

We will be more in contact with the English language, which in a way represents a mental break for us because we are used to creating music in the Slovenian language, but there will still be all kinds of material - mostly English, but also songs in the Slovenian, Serbian and Croatian languages."
