Still the only Latvian #Eurovision song in Latvian, "Dziesma par laimi" is today;s little slice of sound from the Song Contest.

#FominsAndKleins have nailed the stonewashed fashion look, the ‘lean into the mic’ move, a key change at the bridge with the #guitar solo, and the crowd are encouraged to clap along. This all works perfectly well when you see the band live, but in the heightened #campness of the Eurovision stage it all goes a bit #SpinalTap.

Today is the #CoverReveal for my #debut #poetry collection. Thanks to Lee Baxter for the photography and cover design! BaxterPhoto.co.uk

#Patterflash embraces the aesthetic of #campness as a complex & malleable #mask, capable of showing features of tenderness, bravery, righteous anger and sadness – as well as the #comedic. The #poet is a wry, humane observer of the #Manchester #scene, as he performs, exults and sometimes suffers in a wide range of guises and disguises.
