So far, 30 of the 43 countries participating in next week’s this spring’s Eurovision Song Contest have made their song selections, and while we were going through the list one pick stood out: France is sending Sebastien Tellier, who will perform his song “Divine” (above). The track, which was produced by Daft Punk’s Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo, was reportedly selected in part because of Tellier’s mastery of the “French touch”; no doubt that part of that “touch” comes from his fine grasp of artistic nudity, as seen in his Marlboro-Man-gone-wild album cover:
Will Tellier give the public one of the breast Eurovision performances ever? Stay tuned! (And sorry.)

The politics of Eurovision are fascinating; the UK, France, and Germany will never win again because the Eastern European countries vote in a bloc against them, no matter how good their song may be. And that song was damn catchy.
