So I'm starting my blog! a bit late compared to some people but Ive been so busy putting what I think into songs that I overlooked all this. Also to be honest I was probably a bit scared that it would turn into my online ranting space that I avoided it a bit. So let me get one of my current rants out of the way.
Its not my intention start any kinda online "battle" but I just finished listening to Lily Allens new songs, clever girl that she is, great lyricist and all that but with regards to "Everyones at it"...... speak for yourself cause I'M NOT, its admirable that she admits her involvement but I doubt that making sweeping statements like that will discourage "the kids" from doing "IT". Seems that in trying to say something, she's hasn't said much at all! Good luck with the album anyway.
Glad that's out the way, I probably won't be able to resist every now and then, but I will try really hard to fill it with lots of interesting facts and pictures, updates and vids etc etc etc yadayadayah
Anyway here it is.
I've been on tour with Mongrel recently doing support and my bit in Hit from the Morning Sun and Barcode and I have to say that last night Sheffield was amazing, yeah its Reverend and the Makers' , and Arctic Monkeys' home town, but they didn't know me from Adam. I was a little worried that I would look a bit like a pop tart compared to all that Northern Indie/Dance thing they all seem to be into but they were so responsive. Not to mention that I raised the most money so far for the Viva Palestina Aid Convoy.
My Mum and my Brother are on it driving 2 ambulances through Europe and Northern Africa and hopefully into Gaza!
Lets see what London is sayin on Wednesday night at Scala.....tight wads I bet!
Also really excited I've just been confirmed on the Mr Hudson support for his tour in March, I'm working on new things and songs to add to the set....so keep ya eyes peeled for the dates.
I'm also working on a little pet project documentary. Its about the screwface phenomena. I am really curious to find out why it is so rare that women (people) smile at other women they don't know. I don'y know about you but i don't walk round with my eyes to the ground and If my eyes meet yours, on the street or in the shop, hairdressers, tube, club whatever, Im gonna smile. But so often you just get the blank screwface back! Why......I ain't done anything to you but smile, Im not on the chirps either so why the vexed look? I had to write a song about it, cause It was starting to make me angry. (comments please cause I really want to know!)
So just to round things of a here's a little somink I wanna share with you, its probably cause Im African, but I love it!
