Eurovision 2026 and the Emotions Behind Europe’s Biggest Stage
Every year, millions of people across Europe and beyond gather around television screens to watch a competition that feels bigger than music alone. Eurovision Song Contest 2026 carries emotion, national pride, creativity, disappointment, celebration, and unforgettable performances all at once. That is why interest in “eurovision 2026” continues growing long before the event even begins. Fans are already discussing possible host cities, expected contestants, stage concepts, and emotional moments that may define the competition. Eurovision is not simply about winning a trophy. It is about artists standing in front of massive audiences while carrying the hopes of their countries on one emotional stage. Some performances become historic. Others disappear quickly. But every year, Eurovision creates moments people remember for decades because music has a way of connecting emotion across languages, borders, and cultures.

Back On The Road
Introduction In the playlist above, my friend Harper Lewis asked why I hadn't included "Road To Nowhere" by The Talking Heads.

On The Road
Introduction There are thousands of songs that mention the word "Road" in the title, and I will try and stay away from the obvious such as Canned Heat's iconic "On The Road Again" but when I did my "Runaway Train" playlist I found ten songs with that title. These wont't all have the same same title.

A Song Of Vocal Tales
Introduction Almost every piece I publish on Vocal has a piece of music to go with it. I used to have a Facebook page called "For Everything In My Life There Is A Song" and very often when I read stories, a song or piece of music will come to mind.

Redefining Creative Boundaries: How AI Music Generation Is Transforming the Way We Create and Experience Sound in 2026
In 2026, the idea that “you need years of training to make music” is quietly fading. What once required expensive studio equipment, deep knowledge of music theory, and countless hours of practice can now begin with a simple idea and a few clicks. The rise of the AI music generator has not just streamlined the process—it has fundamentally reshaped who gets to participate in music creation.

An Anatomical Playlist
The Intro I was listening to some songs, and "Magic Man" by Heart came on. I thought that could be an interesting theme for a playlist, featuring parts of the body in either the song title or the band name. I will probably miss a lot, but I am just going to dive in and see where this takes me.

Podcasting: Creating a Full-Fledged Show All by Yourself
A year ago, I was unsure whether to continue with my podcast. I had recorded three episodes, but I ran into what seemed like a small issue that turned out to be a major obstacle: the music.

Understand Rap - Stormzy Is A Signpost
Introduction This is a post from around the time Stormzy delivered an amazing set at Glastonbury in 2019, but is about how so many people refuse to even think of entertaining Rap.
