I did something evil yesterday!

I committed a sin unforgiveable whilst shopping amidst the darkening glaswegian streets. I saw it, sitting there on the shelf, staring back at me with a faked air of nonchalance i could see right through and a mona lisa smile smirking seductively. I perspired and moved forward to pick up the objet inanimate, hoping no one would be too near to bear witness as my morals lovingly destroyed themselves.

I could not be sure which of the seven i was dancing arm in arm with as i made my way to the cash desk with none other than, whisper it in hushed tones, the new album by Katy Perry!! However i do believe all of the deadly sins were residing over my funeral that day, smiling and cackling malevolently at my self-imposed fall from grace.

‘How could you do it to yourself, Ling?’ announced the angel on my right shoulder, whilst the devil on my left danced with a demeanour of one who had succumbed to the sin willingly!

What can i say? I’ve been hooked and reeled in by one of those perfectly pristine pop hooks. Grotesque, some would indeed say, and yes my sister will most likely slap my loveable visage, but I just cannot help but dance and sing along to her infectious new tune, ‘Hot and Cold,’ and afterall, it is true, i do ‘change my mind like a girl changes clothes!’

So there we do have it, the truth has been released, I can digest my food more easily and respite is once more my colleague. Katy may well have seduced me with those vehement vocal chords and pretty perry smile, however, my gemlets, it is not all bad, Aimee Mann is still the saviour of my existence and with Christmas round the corner i get to absorb her excellent take on a Christmas album with serene substance. Moreover, I parted with £45 in the excellent Fopp yesterday, where I actually spent the best part of an hour, something I’ve not done since I was an extremely sensitive angst-ridden teenager, Ok i was 23 but keep that between us my youthful cherubs.

Truth indeed be know my evil deed had to be confessed, Katy may have momentarily stole my heart but i can already tell that our affair will not be long lived. Or will it?

CAN’T STOP:

…listening to kings of leon new track, ‘Sex on fire’.

My sex is on fire just listening to this track. Although I loved Molly and those fantastic Chambers, I did not become a true worshipper at the Kings church until I fell head over heals with album number two. Since then I’ve been hooked, with a personal highlight of last year being their live experience and bearing witness to the unabashed on stage onslaught which came my way.

My heart did temporarily cease a-beating, and not just because of the edible talent performing to my front. As my severely intoxicated friend decided we were heading to the front row,  I felt my bee begin to hive! When I suddenly realised I could no longer draw breath or indeed move I sensed panic attack mode descending upon me and somehow managed to pull both of us out of there only to end up in a makeshift moshpit with many a fan bounding about in crazy mode to the mesmerising live set. This was hysterical!! I could not stop laughing and could not help but join in the shenanigans as the bouncers eyed me and the rest of my cavemen with irate suspect glares.

Kings of leon are a force of nature on stage to be reckoned with, but they’re nothing in comparison to their crazy Glaswegian fans! Suffice to say I will definitely be there in December when they return to form with what I suspect is their blistering new material.
