The pic's from the Paris show^ though. Sooo chic. Not in its wildest campest dreams could the Troxy scrub up to look like that. If that statue in the background found itself in the Troxy it would slither gingerly off its plinth and flounce aw…

No I missed it on BBC4 (and on I Player) so if it's on DVD I'm on the hunt for it, thanks Border_Mind, I thought my chance to see it had gone. Spice Girls? wow I am surprised but I guess if you take it out of its pop industry context, Gi…

Yeah it's like Spitting Image's vegetables from Margaret Thatcher sketches got their own spin off series. The angriest I can remember a musician getting nowadays was Jonny Marr furiously forbidding Cameron to like the Smiths' music …

And did a fair bit of time in a gulag or two. You're right, Border_Mind, and I do wonder how many serious politicos in music there are now in any case - there's a lot of cross over between being branded as a serious arty musician into cu…

Brain explodes ... Anna Calvi + underground carpark = does not compute. In addition to the London and Paris solo shows, she's now doing a Brussels solo show (this is March, at the end of the tour). I guess this is becoming A Thing, and I'…

Good interviews (and jokes) - can't help noticing the lack of interest in this from supposedly serious politicos, leaving allegedly frivolous girlie artists* like Madge and Gaga to back the Pussy Riot girls consistently and speak up for them. …

interviews
Heh Ping you beat me to it. Nice interview I thought - Alison's commitment to the films really comes over. Wonder if that's because it's more on the experimental and arty side than The Record That Shall Not Be Named. Envious of ever…

Yes but .... please tell me those aren't the Red Shoes My eyes water just thinking of standing up in them, all question of demonic possession aside.

Mental health
ponygurl said When I think of the word depression, the words "deep rest" comes to mind. Is this not a human emotion? Do we not need a calm after the storm of life, a safe harbor? That's exactly how my Scandinavian friends think of …

It is a very long tour although I shouldn't complain as it means I got to see her both in in London and in Brighton. On the downside, I agree it looks relentless and I hope she doesn't damage her voice or her hands/wrists. Or need a long, …

That's some festival date, yeah? Forgive my lack of enthusiasm, did enough of those when I was a pup to be more enthusiastic about going over the top at the Somme now .... The more I think about it the more I think she was pacing herself/figh…

me neither though I do quite like the video. It's an odd choice, great song, but not obviously single material for non fans .... personally I'm more interested in the B side but then fans would be I guess. (foxy lady, foxy lady, please pl…

Mental health
Yeah, sound familiar, Minsku Well, my lovely therapist has come to a decision that all my mental problems are caused because of my “bad attitude”. Apparently I should just “cheer up” and think “positive”. So really, fuck professional help. Maybe i…

Great pics Hells many thanks!! Missed Laura at Brighton somehow... Same (?) short lived sound problem at the start. And I think the start of a cold: unless really husky is the new vocal style. A lot looser than Troxy IMO which deffo worked well f…

May see you there Laura if I can get out of work as planned. Have ticket ... and too much work. Rationing the chocolate so I can handle the excitement.

a YEAR?!???!!! Twelve whole months? AFTER the tour finishes? Yer cruel, that's what you are, Hells.

I have no patience ... I'm torn between wanting a live/covers/new album next and soon - greed is also a thing round here. I can't help wondering though what happens when she does make one of those records with a radical change of direct…

It was - but there was a stampede for the exit before any encore, which I hadn't been expecting. So I missed hearing Bleed into Me, which I really like. And a lot of people stayed and missed any chance of getting to the solo gig. I do hope she…

YESSSSS!!! Finally got to see her in the dry and with more material!!! It's like my mission to this planet is completed. Border_mind - totally. Troxy show was excellent - she was in good voice and playing well. Definitely in the zone. One of t…

It might ... as in I really hope so. It was a long wait between first and second. Right now I could even go for an album of covers.

Oh yeah. Just when you forget how tiny she must be ... that guitar looks the size of an aircraft carrier next to her. Sean Lennon tho ... a resounding *meh*

Gnarggh. Family crap means I won't be able to go to any participating cinema. Woe woe and thrice woe.

Heh. Leeds Light is a cinema Ive been to many times w friends there. Wierd but conceptually it feels easier n cheaper to go n see it in Leeds to cough up the shekels and venture south of the river to clapham. Or east to Stratford... Hope the picture…

I intend to but - well it may be a bit of arace/struggle. If it is tiny -which is what I assume "intimate" gig means rather than "everybody in their underwear!" - then i may not make it in. The Troxy is quite big... and she a…

OK apparently the solo show(s) is a midnight gig somewhere 10 mins walk away from the Troxy (or the Trianon). Troxyticket holders only... I would like to point out that although its geographically possible for her to be playing in my kitchen this …

Alison chats to Lauren Laverne - 20 Jan 2014
Thanks for posting the film dates!! Clearing diary for March 4th, and wondering which cinema it might be .... cos no, for once I am not travelling down to Brighton for this.

What was your worst date ever?
Nah... I'm sure some Texan will be along with a date story that involves gunfire and bounty hunters. Besides, I think Ponygurl gets to judge this contest... put it this way, I wouldn't swap with hers.

What was your worst date ever?
There was this student date. We were crashed by a creepy guy who might have been her ex boyfriend or a wannabee stalker. Evidently at some point in the evening we moved from the college bar to his rooms, cos I cannot imagine Pelleas and Melisande on…
