the magnificent miss murphy

I went to see Róisín Murphy last night (review in Grau tomorrow). She was WONDERFUL and her hats were FABULOUS. I know she's a long-time poptimist favourite but I don't think we've actually talked about her much, so shall we? Her album is one of the best of the year - my favourite is 'Tell Everybody', omg that was so good last night, she did it as the encore. And there are so many parallels with Gwen Stefani: platinum blonde MILF ex-frontwomen of 'alternative' acts who hit big late in their career, now embracing pop and offbeat couture for their solo careers.

Still waiting for a U.S. release... oh and fuck Perez Hilton, PS.

I fucking hate Perez Hilton and keep missing out on gossip because I refuse to go to his page.

It's so sad. He keeps getting great UK pop exclusives because I guess people over there see him as a great marketing tool to reach a pop audience... ugh.
