  1. Yeah, the big band arrangement of last year's hit had one single problem: it was far bigger & better than 99% of the actual entries. The Moldovans always show up crazy, it would seem... cone hats this time, plus girl on unicycle, made for an entertaining show. I was bummed the accapella group from Belgium didn't even make it into the final... Bully to Azerbaijan for winning - not an awful song, and it's nice to see them get some love. I feel quite bad for saying so, but I actually enjoyed "Jedward" and their 'Lipstick' song - it's a bizarre train-wreck, sure, but in a cloyingly entertaining way, plus the huge shoulder pads and white-red-black mirrored/zoomed imagery somehow all worked. Don't ask me how. One of the weakest semi-finalists was Cyprus... blah song, and they just kept on reusing the (patented by MJ himself!) Michael Jackson leaning shoes over and over and over. For anyone new to Eurovision, I strongly recommend checking out the 2009 year in Moscow - of the last four years, at least, it was the strongest by far.
  2. If he's old, I guess that means it's time for me to look into adult diapers... Happy bday, man!
  3. $7514 was the final tally at midnight EST tonight, smashing previous records to bits! Thanks all who chipped in - donations came in all sizes, from men and women of different ages, from all over the world, a true testament to the diversity of the community! Some of the notes attached were truly inspirational & remind me why I pour hundreds of hours into making OCR a better place! We've got big plans for 2011 that have been delayed the last couple years but should finally start seeing the light of day soon, and I'm more psyched than ever for the site's future!
  4. We just got a BIG donation for the remainder of what we needed for the bonus round! Amazing thanks to that donator and EVERYONE who's chipped in, big & small - we've shattered all previous records, the site is rock solid, and I'm going to do my damnedest to make sure any & all who donated see where their contribution went by ensuring that we kick record amounts of ass in 2011!
  5. What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.
  6. $600 of $2000... bonus round is gonna be cutting it a bit close... WILL WE MAKE IT?!
  7. We'll be ordering more shirts next week, and I'll update the homepage with a counter on our new bonus round tomorrow!
  8. 6%, usually - sometimes more or less depending on whether the item is sold directly by Amazon or through one of their own affiliates, or is an MP3/Kindle book/etc. Every little bit helps!

  10. Very cool idea; looking forward to it being seen through to completion!
