Lost & Fond, the latest EP from my Trophy Boyfriend project, is a laid back study of the unhealthy nostalgia for the recent past and a love letter to a silent city. Hopefully, we'll all meet again soon on a crowded dancefloor where we'll all move into the future and not pine for the past. And the BPMs will be a little faster.  Gregor x

Lost & Fond

Original Tracks

Remixes

You have never far to go
With a beach towel and a radio
How is it you look cool
With a bumbag and a sombrero

Ah… I’m grand

Do you think if you go we grieve
You were last here now you’re first to leave
We’ve all got shit to do as well
Just press record, edit out the death knell

Ah… I’m grand

Are you thumbing lifts or marching on
Is that your own drum is the click track gone
You spend most your time wasting time
You spend most your time wasting time

Bah bah bah bah bah….

Written and recorded by Gregor Ruigrok.

Nicky Byrne - Sunlight (Trophy Boyfriend Remix)

Taste the salt on your lips and
hear those distant chimes
it's playing nursery rhymes
it's ice cream

Cars watch as ocean washes
we've all come from miles
to see the peaceful violence
nice time

oh oh oh

By the waves I saw you,
Amongst the driftwood and smooth glass
you were lying there.

Old shell homes surround you,
All the castles you've built here
long since washed away.

You were hot and faded from the world,
I want to take you and hold you...
Always waiting for a sunny day.

Rescued you from the used combs
And you're saving me from the tide
that's creeping in.

We'll build as one till sunset,
I'll never leave you behind,
Move mountains just you and me.

You were hot and faded from the sun,
I want to take you and hold you...
Always waiting for a sunny day.

The walkman – a cassette recorder for headphone listening. This gadget, originally invented and marketed by Sony in the spring of 1980 in Japan, and soon exported, has become known throughout the West, however awkward its Japanese-made English may sound. As its use has proliferated, so have the arguments about its effects. One example, a report in Nouvel Observateur, was cited by Philippe Sollers (Sollers 1981, p. 50). The interviewer, apparently, asks young people (eighteen to twenty-two years old) the following: whether men with the walkman are human or not; whether they are losing contact with reality; whether the relations between eyes and ears are changing radically; whether they are psychotic or schizophrenic; whether they are worried about the fate of humanity. One of the interviewees replies: your question is out-of-date. All of these problems of communication and incommunicability, according to him, belong to the sixties and the seventies. The eighties are not the same at all. They are the years of autonomy, of an intersection of singularities in the construction of discourses. Soon, he says, you will have every kind of film on video at home, every kind of classical music on only one tape. This is what gives me pleasure.
