Start me up!
I am loving ‘Dani California’ by Red Hot Chilli Peppers. The song is the funky Chilli’s of old, but with enough rock about it to keep the more recent fans happy. It is a killer clip too! Anthony Kedis looks so much better with longer hair, he is hot either way, but long hair on him is a go-er! The anticipation for ‘Stadium Arcadium’ is building; it will be really interesting to hear the direction they have chosen to go with this album. If the single is anything to go by this could be one their most successful albums in recent times. Hopefully Flea feels like visiting his Grandmother soon so we get a visit!
Faker was amazing at The Corner last week. They were extremely tight and working the stage well. Highlight for me is ‘My Love is For Sale’, such an under-rated song. Low-light was ‘Hurricane’, about 20-odd fans rushed the stage and the band were more focused on them than the song; as the rest of the set had been so tight it made this sloppy song far more obvious. They can hardly be blamed for this though, it would be distracting having people shaking their thing in your face while you are trying to perform. Other than this last song it was a mighty impressive effort. The gig sold out too, which is a great sign. Singer Nathan Hudson is captivating and had the crowd eating out of his hand. Faker have an infectious energy about them, I can’t wait to see them again.
How good was Robbie Williams on Parkinson last night! Sigh. He is so gorgeous, and funny and talented. The man has it all! I am hoping the next single from ‘Intensive Care’ will be ‘Sin, Sin, Sin’…such a stand out track. Must nearly be time for a new single? Hopefully a tour announcement too??? Please let it happen!
I am off to see the Rolling Stones this week! I have never seen them before. I am also thrilled to hear that Airbourne will be supporting!!! Their story is a major case of de-ja-vu. Signed a multi-million dollar deal with EMI Music; major hype surrounding the band; securing the support spot for the Stones…all the things (in the same order) as Jet a couple of years back (who’s debut album went to #1 on the ARIA charts their first week in).
I will be watching Rove Live this week to be in the running to win Prince ‘Purple tickets’ to see him perform at his house in LA! I want to reserve my judgment about album '3121' at this stage as I have only listened to it twice and have not had the chance to give it proper attention to decide how I feel about it. ‘Black Sweat’ is easily the best song he has done in nearly a decade though.
