Episode 4 of Shite or Alright is here ! @mrs_forky and @jopijedd cast a sharp eye and tongue over some Eurovision songs.

During this week's show, we suggest that Limmy should do Eurovision (but for which country....?), Mr Jopijedd is reminded of Mike and the Mechanics and thinks of unsuitable internet searches whilst I am put in mind of the much maligned game show Name That Tune (with its many Eurovision connections) and the might of Germanic genre-mixing, Mister Fisto - can you work out how and why? We also have some nuch needed and helpful infomercials for your delectation!
Unfortunately the podcast ended violently but am well enough to write up this small blurb...

Entries under the microscope are Spain, Hungary, Moldova, Armenia, Netherlands and Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

We also reveal the answer to the previous listeners' competition - featuring Jingly Po - and set up a new one with a fantastic imaginary prize that I may need to win myself!

If you know the suitably punctuated song that jingly Po is learning to sing, send us a tweet at @DVVHolland with the hashtag #jinglypo  or write on our facebook wall - address below - with your song and singer.

 

We had such good 'ratings' for this feature last year that we would like to thank everybody who listened to it this year and have the balls to come back this year!

If you *are* new, thanks for coming, tell all your Eurovision friends and SHARE SHARE SHARE !!!!

Episode 3 of Shite or Alright is back ! @mrs_forky and @jopijedd cast a sharp eye and tongue over some more Eurovision songs.

This week we name check Martin Kesici (again - just!) and Ireland West Music TV (hooray!), we ponder over the possibility that PJ and Duncan may have influenced Eurovision, we rejoice in the fact that Simple Minds have made a comeback and wonder if there are ANY Eurovision songs that don't have a pointless dubstep breakdown somewhere in it...

Entries under the microscope are Slovenia, Romania, Belgium, UK, Latvia, Finland and Albania.

At the end of the podcast we reveal the second listeners' competition - featuring Jingly Po!

If you know the place which jingly Po is singing about, send us a tweet at @DVVHolland with the hashtag #jinglypo or write on our facebook wall - address below - with your song and singer.

Episode 2 of Shite or Alright is back ! @mrs_forky and @jopijedd were both feeling rather underwhelmed on day of recording -  and the choices of song didn't improve the mood.

This week we name check Martin Kesici (again - several times), I show my age by referencing Emmerdale (Farm), we decide which song could've been sung by Kim Jong Il, I introduce @jopijedd to Lynda Woodruff, we try to work out our scores in binary and can you guess who everybody's favourite grammatically incorrect pop band is...?.

In this episode the songs under scrutiny are we ruminate over Bulgaria, Israel, Switzerland, Russia, Germany and Iceland.

Sponsored this week by Fine Fare supermarkets and Prendergast Aerials !

At the end of the podcast we reveal out inaugural listeners' competition - featuring Jingly Po!

 

If you know where jingly Po has gone, send us a tweet at @DVVH with the hashtag #jinglypo  or write on our facebook wall - address below - with your full answer ! Your imagnary prize will be sent by imaginary mail! Entries must be in by Friday 19th April, Midday UK time !!!

Shite or Alright is back ! @mrs_forky and @jopijedd are back to once again dissect, cogitate, regurgitate and generally spit out the entries of Eurovision in each episode into manageable, freezeable chunks that adhere to those on Weight Watchers diets.

Using our own slightly weird set of cultural references we try to make Eurovision accessible to the common man. You will soon get to understand that German Eurovision qualification shows of the late 90s and early 2000s are very much imprinted on our brains and that Ireland West Music TV (Sky channel 191 10pm Mon-Thur) is the show we love to hate the most.

In episode one we ruminate over Malta, Georgia, Greece, Austria, Estonia, France and Denmark.

We play out with the song that *should* have been at Eurovision - WINNY PUHH !

We had such good 'ratings'  and feedback for this feature last year that we would like to thank everybody who listened to it this year and have the balls to come back this year

The Home Crowd

We all remember the songs that win Eurovision but what about those acts that have to pick up the baton the next year and have the honour of performing to the home crowd - can be scary stuff!

I've selected 6 songs throughout the years that have had varying amounts of success in front of the home crowd. Stay tuned to discover when the 'Shite or Alright' podcasts will be aired and I give you a veiled clue as to who the number one song is on my Eurovision countdown...
