One day after the Lithuanian broadcaster released the rules for the country's 2010 preselection for the Eurovision Song Contest, the first candidate song is already online. The first hopefuls are Inculto with Eastern European funk.

Inculto, the band who came second to LT United in 2006, have just released a first, rough version of their Eurovision bid on Delfi.lt. The band make it clear that this is not the final version of the song but they are presenting it to the public anyway to receive feedback and assess reactions.

You can listen to Eastern European funk here.

Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain. I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
