It's always an exciting moment in the Apocalypse household when the Moldovan songs are released, and this year certainly hasn't let us down. Of 30 songs submitted, 28 have made it to the audition stages (one of the other two being unfinished, and the other an aural hate crime, by all accounts). But Sasha's continued magnificence aside, there one only one song that really tweaked our nonsense muscle. And what an experience this is.
For a start, it's called Robin Hood. Our Spider senses were already tweaking before we'd heard a note. Then came the triumphant intro - a brief gong, followed by a distant guitar, and what sounds like a man of some age channeling Norwegian Wood, before he launches into a tale of derring do about our very own national hero. We think. Mainly because we're genuinely not sure if it's in English or Moldovan. And then it rattles off into some kind of primal ancient European blues - and then gets even stranger.
Of all the songs in this pretty poor selection this is the one that we're looking forward to seeing the most. Especially because Mr Sadovnic looks like this...
