Karl Lagerfeld on Adele

I don’t understand all the drama today surrounding Karl Lagerfeld’s comments on Adele. This is what he said about her: ”She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice.” People need to move on. He only stated the facts - she DOES have a beautiful face, DOES have a divine voice and IS a little over-weight. Story over. Original Article

During the last 5 days I have posted ads on the Internet and around London, looking for the perfect band. So far I have received over 70 responses. I feel so privileged to live in a place like London where I can find such an abundance of talented musicians; and so honoured that they would want to work with me. Please don’t stop getting in touch and spreading the word, this band is going to...

I just had this conversation with someone...

Someone: Linda, do you know a website where I can download music to put on my iPod shuffle?
Linda: Just use iTunes.
Someone: But don't you have to pay?
Linda: Yes my friend, you have to pay for music. 
Someone: But..
Linda: Music is not free.

The 27 Club - statistics.

Apparently if you’re a musician, you are two times more likely to die earlier than you should. The average age to become a famous musician is 25 years old. There is a 2.3% chance that you will die within 5 years after that. That is 0.4% more than if you’re in the army in Afghanistan for those 5 years (they have a 1.9% chance). Death for a musician in those first 5 years of stardom is...

YouTube Comment of the Week

I often consider doing a “YouTube Comment of the Week.” If I were to do one this week it would be this: (written on my Sunday Morning cover I recorded when I was 16 http://youtu.be/PMPg58DrZkc) What a great idea MrFluffySheeps! I’ll go sort that out now.

Which songs to record/release?

Finding this seriously difficult. I’ve been listening to all the songs I’ve written in the past 6 months. They start out sounding quite grungy, move to quirky singer songwriter, step towards full on pop, take a sidestep to Adele style ballads, and then turn into evil pop and then drum and bass. When I was a kid I wanted to release an album in every genre….looks like I might...
