You may know her from Slate Magazine. She was its Foreign Editor, TV writer, and is now author of the new book A Place Of Our Own; Six Spaces That Shaped Queer Women’s Culture . We’ll talk about that, plus, classic Eurivision versus the contemporary Eurovision, Northern English pride, and Queer Women in Eurovision.

Juries:\nhttps://eurosong-contest.fandom.com/wiki/National_Jury\n\n\n\nOn Waterloo:\n\nThe original title of the song was \"Honey Pie\". \"Waterloo\" was originally written with simultaneous rock music and jazz beats (unusual for an ABBA song).\n\nRecording of the song commenced on 17 December 1973, with instrumental backing from Janne Schaffer (who came up with the main guitar and bass parts), Rutger Gunnarsson, and Ola Brunkert. The song's production style was influenced by Phil Spector's \"Wall of Sound\": prior to recording \"Ring Ring\", engineer Michael B. Tretow had read Richard Williams' book Out of His Head: The Sound of Phil Spector, which inspired him to layer multiple instrumental overdubs on the band's recordings, becoming an integral part of ABBA's sound. Furthermore, ABBA had also originally cited the song \"See My Baby Jive\", by English glam rock band Wizzard, as a major influence (it was produced in the same style); in the wake of their Eurovision victory, they were quoted as saying that it would not surprise them if artists such as Wizzard would consider entering the Eurovision in the future.\n\nSubsequently, German and French versions were recorded in March and April 1974 respectively: the French version was adapted by Alain Boublil, who would later go on to co-write the 1980 musical Les Misérables.\n\n\n\nRednex, Cotton Eye Joe, 1995:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOYZaiDZ7BM\n\nThe Rednex version of the song (using \"Eye\" instead of \"Eyed\"), along with a dance-mix version, was very successful in Europe, where it remained at number-one in Norway for 15 weeks, Switzerland for 13 weeks, Germany for 10 weeks, Sweden for 8 weeks, Austria for 7 weeks, and for 3 weeks on the UK Singles Chart. In the latter, the single reached the top spot in its fifth week on the chart, on 8 January 1995.\n\nCotton Eyed Joe, Classic version:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3Wi5qok-AY\n\nI'll Tell Me Ma, Modern Version and Classic Version\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5-jKJ-QDEY\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcWkykzcQhQ\n\n\n\nNew tradition!

She’s an artist, poet, and activist. I'll talk to her about her current life in Warsaw, and her previous live in New York-- where she notably ran the Salvage Art Institute. The Institute famously deals with what remains of fine art that has been seriously damaged, which in insurance circles is called salvage.  We’ll talk about the Rodin and Calder sculptures semi-destroyed in the attacks on 9/11, and the fragments of a very famous balloon dog sculpture. Elka’s now working in Warsaw. We’ll talk about Eastern Europe, about where she is now. About the human experience, art, impermanence. We’ll then chat about some iconic submissions from 2020, 2016, and 2009, including Go-A, Jamala, and Stephane & 3G. I always encourage you to go to the showpage at eurovisionsongcontext.fireside.fm and watch the submissions before we talk about them.\r\n\r\nOne last note, this episode includes 3 swear words that I haven’t edited.

She’s an artist, poet, and activist. I’ll talk to her about her current life in Warsaw, and her previous live in New York-- where she notably ran the Salvage Art Institute. The Institute famously deals with what remains of fine art that had been seriously damaged, which in insurance circles is called salvage.  We’ll talk about the Rodin and Calder sculptures semi-destroyed in the attacks on 9/11, and the fragments of a very famous balloon dog sculpture. Elka’s now working in Warsaw. We’ll talk about Eastern Europe, about where she is now. About the human experience, art, impermanence. We’ll then chat about some iconic submissions from 2020, 2016, and 2009, including Go-A, Jamala, and Stephane & 3G. I always encourage you to go to the showpage at eurovisionsongcontext.fireside.fm and watch the submissions before we talk about them.\r\n\r\nOne last note, this episode includes 3 swear words that I haven’t edited.
