Eurovision Song Contest 2011: Do The Right Thing

Are you finding yourself tormented at night by the thought that the two-headed demon that is Jedward might win this year's Eurovision Song Content? Or even worse, the sickeningly sweet Paradise Oskar?

Well, there's something you can do to avert this catastrophe.

Please, when it comes to the vote, do the right thing and vote for Moldova:

PMB030 Children's Hour: Langley Schools Music Project, Smoosh, Synthesonic Sounds, YMCK, Lullatone, Daphne Oram, Dana Countryman, Jean-Jacques Perrey

On the show this week we reach out to our younger listeners (or at least our younger-at-heart listeners) with a selection of songs by, for or which we hope will at least appeal to children of all ages. We'll be hearing a heart-felt folk song about cookies, some bedtime music, some unfeasibly chirpy 8-bit music from Japan and possibly the first example of the word "yo" on Project Moonbase.

MC Zirconium also reminds us that week by week, Project Moonbase builds into a complete set of alien artefacts, used biros and second-hand hair.
