Huh… Is it EuroVision time again?
ETA:
I think I might just be feeling Ireland’s entry, Doomsday Blue.
It’s called Euroviisut by the way.
You want a romantic Celtic aesthetic? Do you? Do you really?
Here: have ALL OF THE TWILIGHT OF THE MOTHERFUCKING CELTS! Take it! Take it all!
Um. K. Not sure anyone said this was “authentic celtic aesthetic”…
It’s not. Of course it’s not.
But also it’s closer to the old stories than the bowdlerised Romantic stuff that most people think of, all Arthur Rackham and Lady Gregory (which isn’t to say that they aren’t awesome as well).
I don’t know, people think of Ireland’s folkloric aesthetic in terms of fairy mounds and leprechauns and selkies and aren’t they cute, and less in terms of the Cailleach Bhéara and the Mórrigán and the sheer terror of being hunted by a Capaill Uisce.
I … may have overreacted in excitement. I was not acquainted with Bambie Thug before, and I find that like them.
Euroviisut it’s called Euroviisut!
Bambie Thug is the first time I’ve been excited for an Irish Eurovision entry in a long, long time. Oddly, we had another gothy track that competed for the entry, a more novelty track about how people don’t know that much Irish these days:
They’ve been forbidden from putting any political messages in their makeup for the final, so I think it’s going to say “Crown the witch” for the performance tomorrow.
A year or two back they had Hannes Óli Ágústsson read out Iceland’s points and he yelled out “Play Jaja Ding Dong!”, his catchphrase from the Fire Saga movie.
Playing the beer keg with a hurley is a nice touch!
Eurovissionsschlagerfestivalen is the proper name and that is the end of that!
Also, my opinion of swedish pop artist Eric Saade rose by several degrees this week:
We are one step away from handing out watermelon slices.
