Since noticing and writing about June's YouTube phenomenon Tonje "Crappy Housewife" Langeteig, this is my england has tentatively established online links with both the Norwegian chanteuse and with some of the supporting cast in her memorable spoof Europop video.
The lads seen throwing improbable dancefloor shapes in the lovely Tonje's promo clip rejoice in the stage names Big J and Little T. The former seems to be Jitse Jonathan Buitnik (the apparent supremo of the blonde songstress's management firm, Stalker Management Norway). The latter would appear to be a certain Trond Kanstad Kvalvik. Now, in what Buitnik described to me in a recent chat as "a pause gig", put together while "far bigger projects" are incubated, the two rapper-dancer characters have emerged from Tonje's shadow with a musical offering of their very own. This rejoices in a title that may court the disapproval of what so many people love to call 'the PC brigade'. The number (What's The Difference Between a Homie And a Homo?) is brought vividly to life in another Stalker Management lo-fi video special, featuring crazy antics on the golf course and the same bad-boy costumes we came to know and love in Tonje's promo. Also present is a burqa-clad female. To my eye, it doesn't seem to be young Tonje under those robes. Mr. Buitnik, who seems to enjoy mysteries, would not confirm the identity of the woman in purdah. Nor, frustratingly, would he reveal whether the delectable Ms. Langeteig is planning to dazzle the world anew with her unique blend of snarly delivery and catchily bonkers lyrics.
So, while Tonje fans wait for news, and while speculation grows about the next Stalker Management project, let us, in the meantime, enjoy the work of Big J and Little T:
