I think it depends on the price of the item, but not sure. I ordered about 6 or 7 Korean books for friends, and had to pay about 40€ for customs. But that was over 200€ or even more iirc, with a price of 30€ it shouldn't be that much. Also not sure if it's the same everywhere in the EU or if it's different in different countries. Maybe you can find info about it online?

Thanks, that's quite a lot. I think I'll order from the UK shop anyway, at least it should arrive a bit earlier hopefully.

It's possible. I think items with a value under 20 or 25€ are no problem, but if it's more, you might have to pay for customs when the parcel arrives. I once had to pay that when I ordered the special album book edition of NPIH from Korea. But sometimes you're lucky and it just gets through without extra payment.

Do you know how much the fee can be? It would be stupid to pay less for shipping but then pay even more for extra costs... And unfortunately, this is the money that doesn't go to charity, otherwise I wouldn't care. 

I'm just confused about the shipping costs... The first shop is shipping from US, the second one from UK. I live in EU so I thought the shipping from the second shop would be cheaper but in fact, I would pay less in the US shop. But there's the note "LOCAL CUSTOMS & DUTIES MAY APPLY". Tbh, I've never ordered from the US, are there any additional costs?

Hmmm. on the page in GBP they mention the release date the 2nd of October.

Nothing mentioned on the page in USD....

Yes but I guess it will be the same because it probably takes some time to make all these T-shirts... 

Btw, in the second shop you can switch your currency to EUR/USD instead of GBP. 

You can buy an official 'I love Beirut' shirt online, all the proceeds will be donated to charity...

I know right??? They are both handsome, I can’t believe they picked the most unflattering one of all 🙈

And did you notice the bad photoshop with Mika‘s arm? I just can’t 🙈🙈

I don't get it either, they choose such a bad picture and then they also cut and change Mika's arm and body like that (why? to look even slimmer with no shoulders? ), why didn't they just use this pic for example? 

I don't love it but it looks still better than the weird one on the cover imo.

Honestly I don't know how they dare to make a festival with so many artists and so many people seeing what is happening with the virus. The pandemic is not over and the infections continue increase. Surely they will take all the necessary security measures but still I see it too risky.

It surprises me too as the situation gets worse now all over Europe and here the measures get more strict in September, there are restrictions even for outdoor events (I think it's 1000 people but it depends on the area, there has to be enough space, if it's indoor then only 500 people), I don't know how many people can visit the Music Awards, is there a limit for that?

That's a totally different melody, different rhythm, the Kendji's song has exactly the same melodic structure. At least this is what I hear 

I couldn't think of a better example so quickly as I don't listen to this style of music as much but it has a similar tropical vibe and beat...

And do you think we can expect something like that with Danna?

I have no idea...  But I really hope it's a better song than her last two singles I've heard on Spotify. 

I think this beat and type of songs is very common so I don't think it's similar to the song by Kendji, it's just the same style. I guess you could find a lot of other songs with that beat. 

For example, it reminds me a bit of this song by GIMS too:

It's clear that we are all biased more or less when it comes to our favorite artist, don't worry 

Tell me about it... 

Me on Thursday: being disappointed that one of the new songs is just a cover

Also me: waiting till midnight to hear it and listening to it multiple times over the next few days...

Not sure if it's important to get new songs, no matter how those songs are... there's singers who release songs every week, songs made from different composers that have nothing to do with their artistic identity...I know I prefer to wait more and get genuine good quality music, but this is just my opinion of course  

I agree, quality over quantity for sure!

I like this one better, as well! Maybe there's a little too much in the production for my own taste, I would have preferred if it was "simpler", but I really enjoy their voices together and I also find it very catchy. The chorus is stuck in my head since last night! 

Indeed, since the first time I've heard the whole song, I had the chorus stuck in my head! When I've heard the snippet yesterday, I also found it very overproduced but I got used to it now.

On the other hand, I can't even remember the chorus of the other song after multiple listenings...

Everyone has own tastes .....that's why .....

I know but it seems to me that everyone likes this song and I really wanna join the party but I have the feeling, I'm listening to a different song than the rest... 

I'm really trying hard to like this song but to me it sounds really bland. Now I quite like the Italian one but with this one it's still the same. It's strange because it seems most of you think otherwise. 

I guess I'm in the minority but I like this song better than the French one. It sounds more interesting to me and quite catchy.

Me too, especially because one it's a cover and not his song, and I don't like the original song at all.

Same, when he wrote "my new songs", I also didn't expect a cover... I feel very bad now for complaining but I guess I'm just thirsty for new Mika content after all the disappointments in the last months due to the pandemic. And unfortunately, most of his current projects aren't doing it for me. However, there's still the benefit gig. 

Just now, Mikasister said:

 

Maybe the EP will come out later like the spanish song. 

Tbh, I'm not even sure if he has already started working on that EP or if it was just an idea he had for the future... Maybe the EP will be the new book (but hopefully not).

I was hoping two songs in english 😥

When he mentioned "two of the new songs" in yesterday's post, his EP project he mentioned earlier this year crossed my mind for a while but even then I thought that would be too good to be true... But I was hoping for at least one song in English too.

Mika starts following cutest.pigs

 

 

You know Mika born in The Year Of The Pig.🐽

 

Me too actually (different year though)... 

I have to say that now I'm slightly disappointed after yesterday's heart attack announcement as I was hoping for at least one song in a language I can understand, I was even looking forward to the Spanish one but now I don't know what to expect, I don't even know the other artists properly...  But maybe I will be surprised at midnight.

My first thought when I saw the pic:

...and my reaction after I've read the post:

I have to say that I try not to have high expectations for the collab because I've listened to Danna's last two singles and tbh, both of them are really dull with the same lazy reggaeton beat... I listen to Spanish-language music quite a lot but I don't like her music, to me it lacks originality.  On the other hand, I can't imagine Mika doing a song like this, maybe it's a ballad in Spanish and it will be a cute song. But I guess I prefer Danna as an actress. 

It's been a while since I've opened this thread but Troye just released a new EP called In A Dream and I think it's worth checking out if you are interested in his music (or even if not ), this song is probably my favourite:
