What’s this that has arrived in my Inbox? Why it’s the amazing remix of Ireland’s Eurovision entry by Trophy Boyfriend. Jedward’s Lipstick has been given the once over by Gregor Ruigrok.
Trophy Boyfriend‘s ‘Black Ship’ was featured regularly on My show on DCUfm last year and unless you’ve been under a rock you’ll know Jedward are. They are the last entry in Semi Final 2 of this year’s Eurovision on Thursday night. Will they go through to Saturday’s Grand Prix in Dusseldorf? Methinks they will actually have a good chance of winning the whole thing.
Here’s the track, described as ‘an emotional stadium sized 80’s air guitar infused take on our Eurovision entry’
LIPSTICK – Trophy Boyfriend vs Jedward by Trophy Boyfriend ;
It’s August 2005 and I’m on the way back from London with a band i was working with. In Luton airport I pick up a CD that was to become one of that year’s soundtracks for me. Hailing from Staines, like Ali G, Hard Fi’s Stars of CCTV featured some serious tunes, Hard To Beat, Living For the Weekend and Cash Machine. The follow up ‘Once Upon A Time In The West’ hit #1 on the first week of its release.
