She might have been the new Celine, instead the audience on Radio 2 didn't even vote for her. This amazing song and singer have been left languishing in obscurity - I've put Cheryl Beattie at number 1 in 1999.

New server, new #introduction

Hello sunny gardeners! Thanks for having me 😄

I'm Michelle, moving here from artisan.chat which is sadly shutting down. I'm a proud #Multicrafter and mostly toot about #Crafts of all kinds, including but not limited to #Knitting, #Crochet, #Sewing #CrossStitch and things of that ilk.

Love to see, live vicariously through, and enable the creative endeavours of others!

I also do a bit of hobby gamedev over at @teahands, and have a small crafty YT channel which is also now on PeerTube at @thegiddystitcher@makertube.net 🤓

Also also, a big fan of the #Packers and #Eurovision and toot as such during their respective seasons.

Since my old server will disappear soon, I'll attach a few examples of recently completed projects (see alt text for more info).

Looking forward to getting to know a whole new gang of creatives! 😀

Reflection of my torso as I model a very recently completed, but not blocked yet, knitted jumper. It's forest green, and made up of a squishy broken rib stitch pattern.
Three-tiered purple skirt displayed on a dressmaking dummy, in a room with yellow walls. Each tier is more gathered than the last, and the waistband is elasticated. This skirt was made from a £2.50 bed sheet!
Black lacy crochet crop top displayed on a dummy. The top is made up of repeating motifs in a vaguely floral design, but is mostly open lace. In the background is a shoe organiser hanging on the back of the door, containing all kinds of colourful craft materials.
A completed cross stitch project that needs to be ironed! It's a blue cat sitting in a bright and colourful garden full of flowers.

Would you let Hal into the Eurovision song contest? If so, for which country? (Tony's arguing Jupiter. He does not count)

Argument for: He did a pretty good turn doing "Daisy"

Argument against: Derivative style. Not enough back up dancers, insufficient sexy drumming.

Happy New Eurovision Year to those who celebrate! Malmö 2024, here we come!

French-language Belgian broadcaster RTBF has gone for another early call in selecting actor/singer Mustii. From a quick listen to his back catalogue he seems to sit in the realm of dark pop but is versatile enough to draw influences from elsewhere. Mustii's role as a judge on Drag Race Belgique suggests we're in for an artistic, well-styled performance at the contest.

It’s impossible to overstate how great the new #Voyager album is.

The fantastic thing is that their #Eurovision songs fit in to the album perfectly. What they brought to Liverpool was entirely authentic who they are. This is the key to winning a semi and finishing top ten.

I only just learned that Germany’s #Eurovision entrant #LordOfTheLost did a metal cover of the incredibly fun song ‘Cha Cha Cha’ originally performed by Finland’s entry Käärijä. It’s great!

And the album cover design is just delightful (a throwback to the very iconic neon green outfit the singer wore). Love it! #GraphicDesign

The record cover design for German band Lord of the Lost. It’s a cover of the single ‘Cha Cha Cha’ originally performed by Finland in Eurovision 2023, and the design features a photo of LOTL singer Chris, with a hand-drawn neon green scribble mimicking the sleeves-only bolero top originally worn by that singer.

#Eurovision #ESC23 #Hands

This is a screenshot of a LinkedIn post:

This is a long shot, but do any of my contacts want/know anyone who would like to own a pair of large purple hands and a piece of Eurovision history? (you read correctly.) 🤣🙌

The large purple hands in question were used as props during the Eurovision 2023 grand final in Liverpool during the opening act, with Kalush Orchestra using them to perform Stefania. 

My housemate bought them when he was drunk and has realised they won't fit in our living room (when I say large, I mean each hand is the size of a car.)

I imagine they'd be ideal as decorative pieces for an events company/as an installation in a funky park/beer garden/festival set-up. 

They're currently back up for auction, so you'd be able to get them for cheap as chips (currently there are no bids.) Getting something like this commissioned would cost far more than what you could buy them here for.

If anyone is interested, please get in touch 🫶

Hello, new friends. An introduction post.

Writes "Weaver's Week" at ukgameshows.com, an ongoing chronicle of 21st century #GameShows from the anglophone top-left corner of Europe. Lots of #Pointless, #OnlyConnect, #Eurovision and #Countdown.

Does a #PopMusic challenge every day, comments on BBC4 #TOTP most Friday evenings.

If you knew me from #Birmingham #politics ten years ago, we've both changed.

#Walk a lot, strictly fair-weather #cycling. The day job is to do with #computer #database.

~~~ #INTRODUCTION ~~~

Hi out there! :blobfoxwave:

My name is Stephan, I'm a Bavarian/German guy from #München 🤍💙, but currently living in #Basel/#Switzerland 🇨🇭.

PROFESSION :blobfoxcomputer:
Professionally, I am somewhere between #Egyptology and #MachineLearning. I'm currently doing my #PhD, applying ML approaches on fragmentary ancient Egyptian papyri, including things like #handwriting analysis, #NLP, #ObjectDetection, #Segmentation etc.

HOBBIES :ablobcatbongo:
Outside the university, I'm a very passionate #gamer, doing lots of PC video #gaming (#Steam is ❤️). I love #politics, I am a dedicated #plantdaddy. Sometimes I draw or write stories, whenever there is enough time left. I'm also a huuuge #Eurovision addict!

PRIVATE :QueerCat_Pride:
Pronouns are he/him, I'm definitely :heart_pride:, thus dedicated to #LGBTQIA rights. I also very much support #BLM and all minority rights in general - as they are an absolute necessity.

Listen, Euphoria is still my favourite ever #Eurovision song, but listening again to this year's winner I still feel it writes a cheque it cannae cash

quoting this tweet from a twitter moot:

"as reparation for the atrocities committed by the spanish empire, the spanish government should shoulder the cost of visa, airfare, accommodation and per diem of faqqots from their former colonies who want to go to this concert (me)."

#Eurovision and music theory nerds - I just discovered this new YouTube channel doing analysis of what makes the songs tick. He’s yet to reach 600 views or 12 subscribers for his 2 videos over the last 2 weeks, but they’re really good, so let’s get him some more views and subscribers to encourage him to make more! https://youtube.com/@TheoreticallyHearing

I can't remember who it was here that I saw posting a recommendation for Space Opera by @catvalente but whoever you were, thank you so much.

I bought it pretty much on a whim based on that post and it's terrific. It's kind of as if Douglas Adams was still around and was writing about an intergalactic version of Eurovision.

Perfect fodder for a Sunday afternoon lazing in the garden - especially as one of my neighbours seems to have decided to soundtrack themselves doing the same by playing George Michael's entire musical output.

May Monday morning never arrive!
