So after all these years, and all the concerts we've been to, finally we will be going to one at the same time! Two actually! Celine in Birmingham, and Sara in Glasgow (long way for you to travel) 😝

Well actually judging from what you've been listening to recently and the fact I'm sure I saw you in the front row, I think I have my answer! :P

Hey, Did you manage to get tickets to see Carrie at the Apple Music Festival then? I would know without having to ask if it weren't for this awful new website but oh well.

Oh I see! Waving from the balcony like country music royalty ;) I really didn't notice the dance track on Light Me Up at all, so I don't know if I was just enjoying myself too much to care or if the band decided to change it - probably the former! It was a great night but yeah I'm satisfied for now so won't be going again in September, too soon to see him again for me. 21 is interesting as it's the first song he's not written (excluding soundtrack appearances and his pre-Atlantic Indie records), and what's this about no new album but rather a 'digital experience' of singles/EPs only? Don't know if I'm liking that idea. :/

Well the title did say it'd be crazy so it seems it lived up to it in London for sure! :P how do you mean he was on the roof though!? Anyway, had a great time and so glad the songs weren't pop versions, and that he even performed songs from Storyline that weren't released here. Was it just me though or was his voice way higher live than on CD?

No no, I'll be down there visiting family at the same time, so be careful what you say :P Just listened to Wanted. Definitely not as bad but still for me it's meh. He'll always be country to me so I'll just follow his US career (as I have been since his first Altantic album came out anyway).

Do you think it'll be ok to wait until the general sale on Friday? I don't want to buy the album you see which unfortunately is how to unlock the pre-sale. And to answer your question... hot cakes are so good as they're fresh out the oven. Dunno about you but that is better than sitting-out-for-3-days cakes :P

I thought that would be the case; I guess because he's young and not established here the label deem him as a 'blank canvas' to do with as they see fit. I'm glad the album won't be completely remixed but having seen the tracklist it's of no interest to me: 29 songs from 2 albums boiled down to just 10 and no new tracks (had hoped there might have been one or two perhaps). The tour though... Yes! That is good news and i'll be there the morning they're released to get 'em! :D

Oh right I see ;) I like "Sweetest Sin" best, really different vibe for her. What do you think about them? It's interesting where these would have come from. I heard they're from 2000?

Thanks for 'you know what which must not be named in case Demon are listening'. It's really funny though as I was just last night thinking about them whilst getting demos for another artist and then there you are like magic with them in hand. :P How did you manage to get them?

Well that's good! Would be really interesting to hear what he has to say for himself! mwahaha

oh goodie... now's your chance to tell him to stop with the un-country versions, politely of course and then if that fails move on to the tortures :P

Ah well, thanks for the heads up anyway. I see you're going so you can report back to me again ;)

"I was country... when country wasn't cool" ...you reminded me of that song :P Well I really don't believe he's gonna do well so he'll either give up on us or, hopefully, realise he should just stick to what he's good at - country! I agree what you're saying about alienating the fans he already has as that is how I feel a bit. Not all is lost yet but I can't say I'm not disappointed :/
Akcje

HowSpiffing
Yeah, exactly. Don't get me wrong I like pop too, it's just he isn't a pop artist. Look at Dolly; she's done amazingly well here with her last two albums and Carrie reached no. 11 with Blown Away with little to no promotion at all - and none of those albums were "remixed" (aka dumbed down) for UK audience. And I was worrying about the album but those I can at least import from the US, the tour though... it would be a disaster :/

HowSpiffing
Yuck... one of my favourites of his turned into one of his worst. I just feel that if his music is going to be changed THAT much, he's in danger of losing his integrity - to be all serious about it. :P I am worried what the UK album is gonna turn out like now though. I was thinking: Storyline with a few bonus tracks and probably the Tattoo UK mix but now I'm thinking it could be a mix of both the albums, wait for it... *long pause* ...remixed! *dun dun dun* *screams*

Yeah but Shania's pop versions were good :P I just couldn't get into the country version of Up! for example - didn't click for me, a lot of the songs just didn't feel like country songs. Haha well perhaps his target market has been but what I mean is I don't want him to be the next Bieber... he's better than that.
Akcje

HowSpiffing
Yeah me too plus I would like to see him live so it'd help if he does well! haha Have you heard the UK remix of Tattoo? I'm not keen of it tbh but I understand he'll perhaps do better in the UK market with the pop version. It's just it seems targeted very much at teen girls... blah

HowSpiffing
oh wow, that's great! :D He is a talented little fella isn't he? I couldn't believe it when I found out that for his first major album he co-wrote every song, played every instrument, sang all vocals and co-produced the album, and only at 19!

Oh right. How did it result in you working extra as a favour then (I don't get how it relates haha)? Well I am sorry about Chrissie! Is that good enough now? :P That's great! and War Child? ...very unexpected. There's dozens of songs I'd have said they would perform before I thought of it, interesting ;)

HowSpiffing
Phew! I thought you were gonna tell me you didn't get in or something! Where do you work like? As for Chrissie, err I mean Janet, that would be because I only just took notice of her recently too, with her new album :P So how was it? Any different songs performed/surprises etc?

Oh right, that was lucky then. Just wondered if it were on Facebook as Blondie have been giving lots of tickets away on there.

The flaw in that scenario is that it was in Leicester, north of you yes but hardly "northern" :P I know... I really wanted Winter and would've liked Drag You Around too *sad face* but they more than made up for it so all's fine! :D Was it on the Blondie Facebook page you won tickets?
Akcje

HowSpiffing
Well it's because at all the previous concerts I've been to I had a seat and even when buying straight away, just as the tickets went on sale, I never got at the front. I've had some good seats but never as close as standing. Most of the ones I've been to had no standing option anyway. With Blondie it was easy as everyone went to the bar first anyway so I could "fit right in" to the front ;) Yeah, Ghosts is a great album! Personally I prefer the rockier Blondie but still love the album. And you will be pleased to know Rave was performed at my show, also from Ghosts: Sugar on the Side, Rose by Any Name, Mile High, Euphoria, and a friend said they had Take it Back at theirs.

Aww I'm so miffed I missed hearing them... what if I never get the chance to again!? ahhhhhh Oh well I suppose, but if Demon were so quick to get them taken down could it mean they're sill interested in releasing them officially perhaps? Can only hope. So... Blondie... LOVED IT! Such a great setlist packed with hits! A few from the selection of the new album I would've changed though: Mile High and Euphoria for Winter and Take Me in the Night, but that's me just being picky :P I was really close up to the stage too, closest I've ever been and it's really made me realise I don't want to get second best by being far back again!

ooo interesting... I wonder where they found that when Edsel couldn't for the Anthology! You've probably got it by now but if not you can use this website ( http://www.clipconverter.cc/ ) - I've used it a couple of times for rarities ;)

Aww... You're right, thank you! :P but yeah I remember seeing it on TV when it came out (would be spooky if it were the same programme and you know what it could've been as it was in the evening with my mum and we used to watch the lottery draws and guess the numbers to come out). Then years later I remembered liking that song and downloaded the album, and all the others to give them a listen through :D

Oh sorry :P It's Greatest Hits: Deluxe Redux, an album of selected hits re-recorded (apart from Maria which is the original recording). I don't like it much though, the original recordings are better.

No haha, she doesn't... I can imagine she'd have a terrible singing voice! :P There are four versions I think: Standard 2CD which includes GoD and GH:DR, Deluxe edition which is as standard but the special packaging and bonus DVD, Vinyl LP which removes "Relax" from the tracklist, and digital which has 3 bonus tracks (think they might be on deluxe edition too?)

Oh you're bad! Janet Street-Porter! "gowd" hahaha The Pretenders also did two songs for the Bond film The Living Daylights, and that is where my knowledge ends... well except her new album is called Stockholm. :P I've got that album but haven't gone back through her Pretenders catalogue yet. Oh haha, you've bought the special edition of Blondie 4(0)-ever which has a bonus third disc: a DVD of Blondie's 1977 concert live at CBGBs (a club in New York I think) ;)
