In this episode of EFF, Jonathan, Millan, and Ellis take you through the first 7 Eurovision 2021 songs to be chosen (Albania, Israel, France, Ukraine, Croatia, Czech Republic, and Lithuania). We discuss things that are punk rock (which my mom could never), tik tok songs, tick tock songs, Dua Lipa, dancing alone, and the illusive chanteuse.

    Jan 6 2021

    70s! Groovy! Piano rock! Yeah! Ellis is out on assignment this week so Quinn comes back to help Jonathan and Millan make sense of the Eurovision Song Contest 1973, and what a contest it is. From ice skater jumpsuits to kumbayahs to angry disputes, our unstoppable train of rewinds takes a stop in Luxembourg for a year of 17 songs, including the debut appearance of Israel. Did anyone come with good hair? Did Monaco come with a good song? Does the flag of Colorado make for a good dress? Tune in to find out!

  • Episode 31 – What if Europe... but Union? -- Eurovision 1990, Part 2
    Dec 30 2020

    EUROVISION 1990 IS OVER AND I, FOR ONE COULD NOT BE MORE GLAD! We wrap up one of the overall worst years we've covered yet, with plenty of pandering, geopolitics, and truly horrific fashion all bundled in to a shockingly dreary show. Though we, with our good friend Eurocat, have made a pledge to cover them all and so cover them all we shall! Does Yugoslavia collapse musically as well as politically? Are we in for ANOTHER undeserved UK second place? Tune in to this week's Eurovision Rewind to find out!

    Dec 23 2020
    Episode Notes

    Oh boy. This week we are taking it back to a strange, strange year for a strange, strange Eurovision; ESC 1990 held in Zagreb, present day Croatia (then Yugoslavia). In this episode, we chat Eastern European communism, how much music culture may have survived the inquisition, discount versions of songs that are discount versions of music, and so much more.
